What a horseshit, comic book of a movie

One of the trivia points on IMDB stated, "Keanu's preparation for the role included weapons and martial arts training (eight hours per day for four months)."

He could have made better use of that time by taking acting lessons. His deadpan, wooden delivery of every line is the same in every movie of his I've ever seen.

Another IMDB comment that I thought was hilarious and on point was "101 minutes of watching Keanu Reeves shoot people in the face." And every other of his victim's body parts, the bodies piling up all around him. I wish now I would have known what I was in for before I watched this gorefest.

Well it must've done something right to have 4 movies in the franchise and unfortunately a 5th one most likely?

Yes, the MAGA crowd loves this kind of thing.

Well, if a Liberal would've made this movie, they would've taken John Wick's weaponry away from him forcing him to use harsh language and hand to hand combat I suppose??

...harsh language and hand to hand combat...

Sounds good. Now just take away Keanu Reeves and substitute a competent actor, say Ryan Gosling when he's jacked up.

Just for the record, I'm not a liberal and never have been, in case that's what you're thinking. I was once, long ago, what I thought of as a conservative, but I gave that up like a bad case of hives during George W. Bush's reign of bullshit. Since then, I think of myself as independent, and definitely independent of what passes as today's so-called conservative Republican party.

Considering the franchise on average made more money outside America, it's clearly not just the "MAGA" crowd. You don't have to be an American or a Trump supporter to like action movies.

So, nobody outside the USA watches this film? Got it!

Keanu Reeves is a modern day deity. A God among men and its a minor miracle the John Wick movies were made. An unapologetic masculine movie series made by Men and for Men.

Keanu Reeves is a modern day deity. A God among men...

I don't know what to make of that. Maybe you're just being sarcastic. If not, yikes!.

I'm just tired of watching Sissy Shit at the Movies and Keanu Reeves is the only A Lister actor who wants to make movies for Men.

[–] Martoto (5048) 5 months ago

Maybe the reason for that is that most A list actors have made it in their careers and don't need to make pandering juvenile crap to placate morons.

Keanu Reeves isn't even A list though is he?

That comment is indeed hilarious and on point.
I was ok watching that for one movie , but how the hell they get people to watch the exact same thing again for 3 more movies , one of which is 3 hours long is beyond me.
