I really liked the 1st John Wick movie and while not liking Part 2 and 3, they at least tried to establish more background story. Unfortunately this did not really help them to be as good as the first one.
The 4th John Wick movie is something special. First of all, the cinematography is spectacular. Every scene is very well done and wonderfully directed, especially the fight scenes. That gives one star as a guarantee.
The second star is well deserved for the additional cast, especially Donnie Yen and Shamier Anderson. They add at least some character moments.
But everything else that makes a good movie just isn't there. The acting of Keanu Reeves is godawful and hard to swallow at times. The line "I need a gun" can be performed more convincing by Steven Segal, and that is the lowest bottom line you can think of.
The fight scenes are way too long and look like from a computer game including physics denial at it's best. There is nothing exciting about them, except the appreciation for the stuntmen and women and the actors doing some of them by themselves.
Let's hope this one is the last of this series.
