I liked part 1 fine and was so thrown by how much I didn’t like part 2 that I dropped it completely

i loved the first one! but man it seems like an accident now lol

No. 4 landed like a turd in a fruit bowl for me. Which was a hell of a disappointment given how much I'd liked the others (esp. no 1) and how much 4 had been hyped beforehand. Very well done, and Keanu is always worth a watch, but it just didn't work for me.

wiseposter.bsky.social•1 day ago

yeah i love keanu & the action scene creativity is fun, but it seems the simple plot of 1 helped hide some silly writing that came up later

Tbh they've kind of run together for me so I think I agree with you but I'm not sure which was which

dog-envier.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't think I've seen 4 but not sure

2 is where it waits for a character to betray their principles incoherently & 3 is the one where that happens much earlier and more often

almielag.bsky.social•1 day ago

2 is the one where they introduce the character "the King of the Bowery" whose stronghold is found in Williamsburg

the macguffin in 2 is a pendant but in 3 theres like 40 of them for whoever likes coin style props

I didn’t see 3 because I felt the same about 2. Should have left it at the first movie!!!

wiseposter.bsky.social•1 day ago

i had a bad feeling after 2 but i was like everyone loves them so much. didnt even make it through 3. nothing but goofy action set pieces

i've always had an issue with the wick films because the original script was for a bob hoskins / grizzled old hard man

3 was like PlayTime with fights; loved it for this reason but I can understand why someone would dislike the same thing

wiseposter.bsky.social•1 day ago

the only other movie that i can think of that felt so action packed yet stakes-free was, strangely, The Matrix Reloaded

wiseposter.bsky.social•1 day ago

nothing wrong with an action scene carnival but fury road shows you can just slap on like 3 bookendy scenes & make an incredible arc

almielag.bsky.social•1 day ago

I didn't even like 1 that much and there's a steep drop-off in the sequels

wiseposter.bsky.social•1 day ago

given the response to this i am struggling to see how everyone else loved them soooo much!

almielag.bsky.social•1 day ago

The music in 1 was so bad it really took me out. And the annoying subtitle style didnt help either

wiseposter.bsky.social•1 day ago

i was thinking the number one thing i hated in 1 was the corny comic book subtitle thing lol. i should trust my gut
