slop begets slop. how long has it been since you guys watched the first movie? people love to suck it off and call it one of the greatest modern action movies, but it actually wastes like half of its runtime with this super corny, incredibly self-serious lead-up. every other scene in the first part is shit like two panicked Russian mobsters wringing their hands, saying John Wick is unstoppable, John Wick is The Best Guy, I can't believe John Wick is coming for us, John Wick has killed so many dudes, John Wick is going to kill everybody, holy shit get all 3000 of our guys out there with all the guns we have (it won't be enough (John Wick is too good)). it is the actual textbook case for the Show, Don't Tell rule. the whole premise is the lowest possible grade boomer bait (they killed his puppy and stole his awesome car!!!). the scene where the Russian kingpin dude is staring dramatically into the fire singing some nursery song about Baba Yaga or whatever right before they
finally get to the action is so powerfully fucking gay it made me physically recoil from the screen:
the latter movies, I think, figured themselves out a little and do a better job of having fun action scenes without so much stupid fluff, but the fluff is also part of the brand at this point. the "John Wick Universe" is awful, it's like the James Bond universe as written by the Tails Gets Trolled guy. it's all a bunch of discount half-remembered spy movie shit, and the writers are
so proud of it. it speaks volumes that this nonsense is one of the iconic modern action movie franchises. that's why there are trannies in it - some Hollywood fag thought, incorrectly, that it would be cool. at least Keanu is having fun with it.
