Two episodes in of what will be three total. 130+ mins of stuff.
There is a grand total of one action sequence, early in episode one, that could be in a John Wick movie. But even that would probably be one of the worst in all of the action sequences of the franchise.
Mel Gibson is the main villain, but it is nothing to write home about.
The guy they got to play young Winston was a good pick. Some of his backstory with his brother is decent.
And that is pretty much it. You get to see a pair of tits, but even that is nothing memorable.
In return for this very short list of kind of positives you get to have a lot of angry and ugly women beating or overpowering men, sometimes several. There aren't really much in terms of badass men after the first episode either. In a John Wick spinoff...
It feels like they are trying to make Charon gay, but did not really commit to it. The guy playing him also doesn't at all feel like he could grow older to become Lance Reddick (RIP). There is a lot of talk, but it does not feel like they have really expanded the lore in any meaningful way. A lot of characters talk a lot, and you will care about very little of those characters and all the talking going on.
There is a drag queen in the first episode, played by an IRL drag queen, but I only noticed this in the credits.
There is probably more to mention, but I cannot be bothered any more.
It's not worth your time. You are better off rewatching any of the movies, even the one you like the least.
They are bad. There is one decent scene, but even that isn't worth looking up.
I don't even want to watch the trailer to confirm my prejudices, the thing is if they were going to do some super heroine movie and make it so these were women who were bred as uber strong super soldiers or whatever then that would be so much more believable. Instead though it's always some tiny 5 foot woman tossing around a big muscular guy who could crush her skull with his fist and it's more typical girl power bollocks.
Something I've noticed as well which is why the belief is suspended every time for me. You can't unsee this, I've noticed the male on male fights when there's such a strength difference are actually pretty realistic. Like for example in the actual John Wick movies you see that John struggles to take down the bigger guys despite his skill so he resorts to dirtier methods which you would do if you were in that sort of fucked situation. None of that really happening with the women in these action movies no, because they're 'special'.
BY THE POWER OF MY VAGINA!
It's a fetish. People who grew up watching Josh Whedon shows and their progeny get off on seeing women kicking ass.
You know, I'm beginning to sense a theme where propaganda - I mean, television series - are lauded for their ground-breaking takes on various things such as 'grrl power' or your virtue signal of choice, only to show that buying into these lies has long-term repercussions.
Nah, probably just my imagination.
Whenever they do that I link to them real life videos of men beating up multiple other men, like this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUwleIBIhw8&pp=ygUTc3RyZWV0IGZpZ2h0IDEgdnMgMg%3D%3D
Or this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCFNvsjMs2Y&pp=ygUOZWxldmF0b3IgZmlnaHQ%3D
And then I always ask them.... "Link to me one video of a woman being a man in hand-to-hand combat in real life."
100% of the time they slink away.
I wish I still had that list I posted in a forum years ago of videos of different men of different sizes in real-life handicap fights, such as 1 vs 2, 1 vs 3, or 1 vs 5, just to show that movies depicting men fighting multiple opponents at once isn't unrealistic as people think. It happens all the time in real life. One of my favourite stories is the one of Donnie Yen beating up and injuring eight guys for messing with his girlfriend.
But there isn't one scenario or instance of a woman beating up a man bigger than her in a hand-to-hand fight in real life.
Was it even decent tits or very lackluster tits?
I was unfortunately right in thinking without Keanu being the main star there wasn't enough pull to ensure they didn't fuck it up. Similar to when Tom Cruise is in a film, the worst you'll get is 'it's average', when you don't have that pull you end up with shit.
I saw them yesterday, and I already don't remember them. Owner isn't much to look at either.
The tits are on the insane pansexual.
Aw no, I at least want good tits on a straight woman for me to watch, I will compromise with Bi or Lesbian but then I want 2 pairs of tits instead of 1
-5/10
If you liked John Wick and want to see more of that kind of thing, you oughta watch The Equalizer movie series with Denzel Washington.
Or the movie Nobody with Bob Odenkirk.
Neither one IMO are as good as John Wick 1, but they're good in their own way. And they sound way better than The Continental.
Have seen all of those, except for the third Equalizer, and I agree with your opinion of them.
Don't forget Crank and Crank 2.
God help anyone who criticizes either of those masterpieces around me.
I gotta add "Sisu" to that list. Total kick-ass action from start to finnish.
Sisu looked right up my alley with the trailer... just until I saw it was another "nazis" bad movie, and some stronk Jewish women fighting back against their "oppressors".
It was a hard "nope" from me by the time the trailer ended.
I’m shocked, shocked, to find John Wick without John Wick is going on in here!
There could be good JW-related content created. Maybe The Ballerina will be decent at least. This one is not.
I felt like John Wick 4 wasn't worth my time. Fight sequences felt too rehearsed, with no flow from one situation to the other, and there was too much focus on hand to hand combat.
No way I'm gonna touch this shit.
Everything eventually becomes a parody of itself.
Is that what you felt, or what you thought? Felt is for emotions, thought is for opinions.
Saying " I feel" for explaining a thought is corrupted language brought to us by the far left. Don't do that.
Only watched ep1. Only the opening 5 - 10 mins was decent. Rest was boring as fuck, with increasing annoying female characters added.
Over the John Wick sub there were several threads discussing how John would be Wilson brother and that 5 feet tall Viet chic son..... like really? Do races dont fucking matter? How the fuck does the thought of Wick been half vietcong even make sense?
