For a while I have heard how great the John Wick movie is. "Man you got to see that cat shoot!!" I bought it a couple of weeks ago for $5.00 and watched it last night. First let me say having owned numerous Beagles I have a soft spot for them and the one at the start of the movie is special. BUT, when the dog died so did the movie. It reminded me of the crappy early kung fu movies when the lips were all out of sync and the combatants would jump 20 feet in the air and whip up on ten or twelve foes. It was a load of crap plain and simple. It would have been a much better idea to have killed Keanu Reeves early on and just to have followed the dog around. I want my five bucks back.

The old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Wanting a blockbuster movie for a $5.00 price.
NP, just busting your chops. 😁
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
At least you only lost 5 bucks.
The guys that like the movie are losing thousands!
Sorry for your loss.
I actually liked the movie. He double tapped the bad guys so they did not get back up and he picked up their firearms to use in the battle.. most of these action movies the good guy never picks up the bad guys gun,, they would rather him using sticks and stones against the bad guys..
i have seen where Reeves and other of the cast members put in time with professional shooters learning to handle and shoot the firearms at least they put effort into it .maybe just me but looked like they did well on the youtube post of them training and running the courses
and for heavens sake don't shoot there dogs
( or mine for that matter I would not be so flamboyant in retaliation but would do best I could LOL )
I read somewhere that he had to have over 200 suits for each movie. Some were looser to enable him to do most of his own stunts, some were ruined during filming, etc.
For me, if I want factual, I will watch a documentary. I watch movies for entertainment not enlightenment. I thoroughly enjoyed every John Wick movie and have watched them a second or third time.
They are in the process or have already filmed a series based on the hotel in the movies. I need to find out who is carrying it.

I enjoyed the movies for what they were-entertainment. They are, like most Hollywood productions, pure fantasy. I will say however that it looked like Reeves practiced some of his gun handling skills. He did things such as press check his pistol for example, that are not normally seen performed by actors in movies.
