This is the same movie as the first three. Here is the plot John Wick wants out as an assassin, and people are trying to kill him. The main difference in this one is it is much, much longer than the previous films.

Suspending belief is necessary in most action movies, but this one takes the cake. Bullet proof jackets, that look like normal jackets, that can stop bullets from point blank range, check.

Inept goons who willingly run to their ultimate death, check.

Whole squads of goons waiting one by one to challenge our hero, check.

It's all here, and it's all been done before. Bottom line is, the movie is too long, and to monotonous. Wick fanboys will love it. Older folks who have seen decades of action movies will think it's just meh.

This movie is pretty awful from beginning to end. I only continued to watch to see if there is some big payoff for holding on to the end. There isn't. I found myself hoping all the characters were killed, not a single one of them is remotely likeable, except maybe for Daniel Craig's Benoit character.

Janelle Monae is not an actress. Her twin sister character, southern bumpkin act is cringe worthy at best.

Of course, it's made in 2022, so the virtue signaling is very prevalent. They make sure to show people wearing useless masks and referring to lockdown, and the pandemic.

Save your time, unless you like the garbage Hollywood pumps out today. In that case, you will probably love it.

The first WW was a decent movie, the second installment is not. The plot is basic, and has been done before. The setting is 1984, we get it, but really has no bearing on the story, at all. However, the movie sure made sure to show plenty of pastel colors and popped collars, because you know, the 80s. The CGI is really bad in some places, and the action sequences are also stale and boring. This film does nothing to set up any future stories within the DCEU, or really shed any light on WW, other than the opening scene showing her as a child. The worst part of all has to be the ending. Max Lord has to touch people to grant wishes, but at the end all he has to do is appear on TV? What!? Also, to break the wishes he granted, all a person has to do is renounce the wish. So in the end, WW really isn't needed at all.
