This is very much my kind of movie. Straightforward, lots of good action, our hero never waivers from his path and no social or emotional nonsense. Those who have watched the movie might wonder why I claim that there is not emotional nonsense since the entire plot is driven by John Wick’s very emotional response to his wife’s death and the subsequent killing of the dog that he received as a last p...

I don't get why this movie has such good reviews. It simple and quite uninteresting. Lots of actions and well known faces (many from TV series), but nothing else. The same old brainless plot to justify tons of bullets.

Woof! Keanu Reeves is the John Wick of the title, a grieving one man army who gets tipped over the edge when gangsters kill his dog. Carnage ensues. The paying public do like a good revenge flick, there have been plenty this last couple of decades, and they do go down well. Once the set-up has been staged - Wick grieves at the loss of his loved one - gets some small joy via a pet - only to h...

~NO SPOILERS~ John Wick is an excellent revenge action movie that raises the bar with its excellent lighting, cinematography, and martial arts displays from Keanu. Mr Wick spends the rest of the film getting even with a mob boss for the actions of his son who killed his dog and stole his car. As far as the plot goes, its pretty simple but there is a lot of depth to the world. Reeves dis...

**Pure unadulterated action** John Wick - it's that kind of a character whose name is enough to inflict terror in the minds of people. And whoever isn't terrified doesn't mean that they're better, it just means that they don't know JOHN WICK. It definitely isn't the first character of it's kind, but very few characters of this kind convince you that they are what they are supposed to be. Let...

It's cheesy, formulaic, and hammily acted. It's also stylish, high energy, and generally just a fun popcorn movie. "John Wick" is a retired hitman who gets brought back into the life by a personal attack (no spoilers here, but if you're squeamish about animal cruelty, be warned). Okay, we've heard this story dozens of times. What's different is the world in which this takes place. There's a ...

**The mastery of stunt choreography and world-building make John Wick the new standard of action films.** John Wick is a master class on taking every movie trope and delivering an incredibly fresh and innovative franchise that delights avid action fans and casual observers alike. Chad Stahelski and team break free from the now overused shaky cam to hide mediocre acting and push their stars and ...

Keanu Reeve’s very best since the Matrix!!!

My wife made me watch the John Wick series when #3 came out... and I started with #3. She was pretty sure that I needed to watch the first two to understand what it was about... I was pretty sure that I didn't. Turns out I was right. You don't need to watch 1 and 2 to understand everything that is going on in 3. You don't have to watch 1 to understand 2. You can really jump in anywhere you w...

John Wick is the definition of a blockbuster action film, with big set pieces and visceral stunt work that will leave audiences gasping. While the story and performances are lacking, the creators make attempts at establishing a greater world around the characters. There are some really creative services and lore that go into the assassin underworld that is simply brilliant. The acting all around i...

Pure entertainment, this. Happy to have finally got around to watching this franchise! I expected sheer enjoyment and that's what I got. <em>'John Wick'</em> is good fun! It is more hammy than I thought it would be, not that that's a criticism. Some characters duck out surprisingly abruptly too (justice for Clarke Peters!), even when the one who should get taken out immediately somehow manages ...

Simply a cool character doing a lot of very bad things for all the right reasons. Immensely slick and incredibly fluid action in this movie. But the subtleties and nuances of world details are what make this story so addictive. Even after more than a hundred watches I still have to skip that puppy scene.

Reeves is such a great actor. Another action packed filled movie. He nuts on everyone all because they killed his dog.
