Movies JOHN WICK Official Thread (Dragonlord's Review)

[BJJ NINJA]

That's not at all true. Of the big name critics he was one of the least snobbish and usually did a good job judging movies on what they were trying to be.

The dude didn't like Gladiator, so screw him.

Gladiator is an overwrought hamfest of a film, so war Ebert.

 

[Thai Otoshi]

Is that Theon Greyjoy?

What a dick.

His name is Reek.

The rating just covers the trailer, not the movie. It's a green band trailer, whereas the red band trailer is meant for a mature audience ie it can include swearing, nudity etc

I don't 8 close range head shot kills deserve a green band. I understand what the "all audiences" and "restricted audiences" stand for in terms of trailers. But thanks.

will be seeing this one

 

[itooknarro2knee]

So... just got back from a sneak preview
Solid 8/10
Great pacing... was never bored
Great action... both the gunfights and the hand to hand
Story was ok
If you're a fan of old muscle cars, theres some nice ones
Some really funny moments

Spoiler

opening was pretty touching, kinda sad that Bridget Moynahan is in such a minor role
the reactions to John Wick or to his name were great

 

[mime]

with all the good buzz I will probably check this out this weekend

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Shocked to see good reviews for this. The trailer reminded me of nick cages recent movies.
im still a bit sour from the ronin movie but actually a big fan of keanoo so ill see it.

 

[rikwebb]

Not out til 2nd January here in the UK according to IMDB, dammit!

but does he get his dog back? The commercials are pretty rough hearing that puppy cry. I'd have to go all Ramsey Snow on Reek if he took and abused my dog like that.

Cool flick, very moody and violent. Tactical, brutal style and looks like Reeves is doing most of it. Story is pretty weak, typical DTV action flick just executed with flash. Great supporting cast though, you even get Kevin Nash in a non-action role.

How is the Dean of Mean Keith Jardine? I saw him credited on IMDB as Kuzma

I'm pretty sure the dog dies right off the bat, and that's why Wick goes on a rampage

John Wick - 7.5/10.

Fun, action movie. Very little fucking around. Gets right into the meat and potatoes.

My only gripe was that they seemed to drag it out a bit towards the end.

the background music was great. Some very unlikable villains.

Funny a bit of bjj and a shit load of judo throws. Assassin chick (lady perkins i do believe) fucking kimura'd keanu, fucking rear naked choked him, lapel choked him with her fucking leather jacket - funny as shit. also keanu (wick) do an armbar, and a modified triangle choke with hand cuffs - a shit load of judo throws.

I'd go see it - maybe leave the girl or missus at home for this one or not (if she's into action movies).

btw - keanu was pretty good in it.

 

[chokeyou]

Well I just saw it and I loved it. Best action movie I've seen in a long time. However when all is said and done it will prob be less than 85% on rt, it's just a bit overhyped. Def worth a watch but your gf probably won't like it unless she is into Keanu.

 

[chokeyou]

I gave it a 9 cause of all the bjj and judo, to the average male movie goer it's at least a 6.5

 

[ShadowRun]

I gave it a 9 it was action packed of course with the type of action I like to see, KR does a good job. I most likely will watch it again in theaters

 

[Phokuz]

John Wick

What a movie. Crazy action all around and Keanu is a boss, but everything else was pretty shit. Still it's a damn entertaining movie and I highly recommend yall to go see it. The choreography is awesome, the fighting, shooting, they're so violent and gruesome and for once it's R-rated, thank god.

Go watch this movie if you like some really cool action and wanna see Keanu kick some ass, but don't expect anything else in the movie to be good. The plot is very simple and kinda stupid, some of the characters are really bad and the acting can be stiff at times. But none of that matters when the action kicks in, it's just that good.

 

[SiKnSiN]

Fun movie with a lot of good action.
