KEANU REEVES: HE'S PRETTY MUCH Y TOO BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN RUDD OR CUSACK

ian mcshane is totally gonna die in the next one right

they're gonna make these till Keanu physically can't anymore AFAICT xp

the main bad guys are both having a lot of fun with the roles i thought though Nyqvist was better in that regard. JW2 is awesome, JW1 is slightly moreso.

in JW1 i think Ruby Rose was fantastic, everyone was really. But I think it gets slightly repetitive in a way the first one does not. but it only starts to feel that way deep into the third act, vs earlier on. It just takes the edge off the film for me. The first one has a better upward movement through the ranks to get to the final showdown, and a more righteous mission.

again this is really an argument I don't like to make since both films are considerably outstanding.

do we know if they're even bothering with a new big bad in JW3? I'm sort of hoping they don't

one of the bad guys is the dude who played "The Chairman" on Iron Chef America

these poll results are terrible, and since when is Paul Rudd a Y?

Bill & Ted's is unwatchable garbage. I know because recently I tried to watch it and it is just... very bad. it is poorly made, there are no actual jokes etc.

"actual jokes" is not really the point

Paul Rudd is always a Y

they're gonna make these till Keanu physically can't anymore AFAICT xp

JW3 announced as final one apparently

aren't they also planning a series?

I guess it would be more of a spinoff, seems kinda pointless on its face

"actual jokes" is not really the point

yeah which is why i lasted 20 minutes with both of them

anyway I'm only gonna believe JW3 is the last one if it ends with Mr. Wick drawn and quartered

i dont know if i’m more excited about John Wick on horseback or samurai motorcycles

JW2 couldn't have the best thing about JW1, the sequence where John Leguizamo slaps the kids and then starts pounding whiskey, knowing what's about to go down, then Viggo explaining things while shirtless Keanu sledgehammers up his past

sorry but nothing in JW1 matches the giddy absurdity of the hilariously deadpan subway "shootout" in the second one

These films are fun when there’s shooting but when they grind to a halt in order to show you the inner workings of hitman hogwarts it’s embarrassing and actively tedious, is my unpopular opinion

idk the cut from Fishburne laughing on the roof to Fishburne laughing (presumably minutes later) in the inner sanctum of his lair is pretty fucking funny imo

Oh Jesus that scene on the roof was painful to me, I was like when is this silly shit going to end. So bad!

lol I live for silly shit

It went on forever and fishburnes acting was dodgy as. I was fine w the silliness in the first one, it’s both more cringeworthy and more plodding in 2

I'm gonna have to rewatch 1 to compare. idk JW2 is full of unique gags that I can't dismiss. also in that sequence: making a big deal out of only having secen shots, then using them all up within about six seconds when he gets to the function

*seven

John Wick the first is unfuckwithable because of its deceptive simplicity

John Wick 2 is too in love with itself & too many set pieces go on for WAY longer than they need to BUT is still v good & the colors & settings are cool & “down into hell” descending motif is good i like it

something I really appreciate about both movies is how they don't feel the need to insert "clever" quips into their action scenes; plenty of minutes at a time go by with no dialogue at all but they don't make a big deal of it

How do you guys have such vivid recall of these movies, did you all take a John Wick coursera or something

they are part of me now

it was one of my matrix plugins

I literally just rewatched JW2 is the thing

JW2 was the only movie I saw in a theater in 2017. The same will probably be true of JW3. And when these come out as a Blu-Ray box, I will buy them.

Stop nitpicking the JW movies all that matters is Keanu wearing hot af suits looking ruggedly handsome and being badass

THANK U

This is a crummy way to find out I was recast https://t.co/bnO3XDyqJf

twinsies!

how is it possible we don't have a dedicated john wick thread

new one's out this week and the reviews are encouraging (to the extent that I'm suspicious)

this is going to to be the wickiest of the icky

figured this was about life after death

The first review I read was negative, but it was by David Edelstein, who's a dipshit.

Edelstein was complaining about John Wick being pretentious, idk. i mean that's part of the joke.

the movie or the character

I don't think Edelstein knows what "pretentious" means.

sometimes I think about this series and how they added a bunch of content that seems portentous and maybe a little overwrought, but then I rewatch one of the movies and it's a bunch of well-shot action scenes with a somewhat goofy backdrop of a plot and I love the hell out of it

I mean, if you're seeing Laurence Fishburne's appearance as completely in-context and not noticing it's a metatextual joke at the same time...

I just saw John Wick for the first time a month ago. I think I always had it confused with John Carter.

I was amazed a little about the lack of plot, but I was sad about the dog so what do I know.

imo these movies are improved by the addition of a dense network of deeply silly supporting characters so the new one sounds like my ideal
