    There wasn’t much left to tell after the first movie. It just turned ridiculous. I still watch the movies but they aren’t good. They just show choreageaphy and dancing and special effects.

    I mostly like Keanu Reeves for being such a nice human being in real life.

      I really liked the fantasy criminal underground they created for the movies. I hoped to see way more of it as an actual story, but no…it was only used in small doses to move the action forward.

      The first movie introduced us to the whole idea and that was fun, but the rest IMO kinda gets to be a slog of violence after a while.

      And once you start counting bad guys who move to within 5 feet of John Wick before trying to use their guns, the films kinda become comedies. But it’s still a fun ride.

          And then for some reason Halle Berry is there, overacting and tossing around men twice her weight. Hard to keep dispelling belief.

    It’s done. Let it be. We don’t need more. Make something new.

    Edit: unless of course John Wick 5 will be John retired to Wyoming where he works his ranch, and trains working dogs on the side.

      The only way he should return is if it’s an “old man wick” Cameo. Just to fuck with the fans.

      This is the John Wick I want to see. Have an assassin come to kill him, but he’s so starstruck by Wick that he has to take the opportunity to socialize with him. John makes meals for his soon-to-be killer, lets the assassin help him work the land and tend to his animals.

      Days turn to weeks turn to months. We learn that John Wick only keeps a snake gun around, no other armory; no opportunities to find out “could Wick still have held his own in the end.”

      The assassin helps fake John’s death, then moves on with a new appreciating for patience and noticing the little things. The assassin then realizes how awful the association is that they work for. They become heartbroken and disillusioned. They move on, leaving the story open on whether they’re gonna take down their own employers.

      Then, if the audience and studio wants another action movie, they can decide from there, leaving Keanu out of it. At most, he can be a cameo for where assassins go to relax and learn from each other. Wick can be kept safe by the constant flow of assassins visiting and seeking expanded horizons.

      Knowing modern Hollywood, it will be him training a protege who will then go on to star in a spin off series.

      Man could pull a Steven Seagull and murder people from the comfort of an office chair.

      Difference is Keanu would make it look badass.

    They had a hell of a run, and while I’d like to see more, I’m really in it for the direction. If the director goes another route and starts a new franchise or keeps it going Ballerina and moved past Reeves, I’m ok with that. I think he’s a rare artist that gives action movies what they’ve lost, and I’m here for it.

      The first movie was great and not too completely unbelievable. But every movie got a bit more outlandish. By the 4th, the bullet proof suits went full on fantasy land and Keanu got up like 7 different times from things that would have killed a person. 4 was a fun flick to watch, but it’s time to let him rest.

      I wouldn’t like to see more. I had stopped after two, but decided to watch them all recently. The first is amazing. Two is fine, but starts getting weird. For a franchise that succeeded because of its realistic portrayal of firearm usage, the magic really starts ramping up here. Three and four are strange considering where the series started. They’re alright action flicks I guess, but I didn’t really care for them. I don’t see any need for more.

    Honestly I’m hoping they don’t make more. I appreciate the ambiguous ending of the 4th movie letting audiences choose to believe what we were shown at face value or not. Having him come back would ruin that

    You’d expect a wealth like Keanu’s to afford peptide and stem cell treatments that would fix him right up.

    All the same, I would like to see more of Mr. Wick, but respect Keanu’s desires for comfort instead of tens of millions more dollars he doesn’t need.

    Hopefully he can have new roles that are just as fun but don’t take such a toll on him.

      Maybe a millionaire like him not receiving the fix for bad knees which would be great even if he chose not to do more John Wick for an improved quality of life shows that aspect of medicine is still not within reach for now.

      Can you imagine, so this is me being sarcastic, that he has not done it yet due to the poor health care and even as a rich person he cannot afford it, like sitting in the doctor’s chair sweating after hearing what it costs, having the apiffany knowing already who the villains are that he is gonna have to shoot in his next movie.

    Who cares about knees? Wick 2 was okay, Wick 3 was pretty mediocre, and Wick 4 was painfully bad. Let the series die already.
