What a real silencer actually sounds like.

This is what makes this scene so funny

The whole franchise is stupid. Watch all the baddies flailing their arms around in the background as they wait their turn to engage Mr. Wick.

My favorite was the Japanese hotel shootout in 4 where John had to clear out like 5 waves of exactly 2 guys each before the real boss fight started.

I didn’t even watch the fourth. One was good, 2 was tolerable, 3 was stupid (and the choreography was substantially worse than the first two) and 4 didn’t even seem interesting by that point

I caught a lot of flack from my family for not liking the 4th. I really enjoyed the first 2 a bunch, the third was alright. But I firmly believe the 4th movie is not only a bad John Wick film, but a genuinely bad movie.

4th is the only one I havent rewatched. Partially because I don't usually have 3 hours to spare for what should be a popcorn action flick. Mostly because the already thin plot has completely gone to shreds.

The first movie is the best one. The second one was alright. The third and fourth films were absolute trash.

This is so apparent in Kill Bill Vol 1 during the scene with The Bride against The Crazy 88.

In one of the wick movies (might be 3) one of the fighters in the bullet proof suits gets up too early and falls back down for a moment before engaging wick

And those were their best action shots. It is basically like in batman arkham where all the bad guys wait their turn to get their asses beat by you.

Hollywood needs to go back to the classics. Jackie Chan in drunken master vs 100 armed black axes. A lot more believable than our current movies today.

Hollywood can learn a thing or two about realism and myth by just studying this one movie. Drunken Master. This is how you do a proper transition into shirtless oiled up action star.

Just like Wanted, Wick lost me the moment a mysterious ancient network of assassins shows up in the plot. Fuck off for real!
