I made a comment here about how the resolution of John Wick 4 was underwhelming...

And truly, I saw more comments from people with similar opinion.

Wick being free from his obligations even after killing the previous Marquis...by simply joining a family and challenging the Marquis to a duel made no sense...

Several people even complained of how that plot point made the entire Chapter 3 pointless if he could always do this to be free

I totally get your point but if you've watched every John Wick movie, you should know that this is totally fantasy, it shouldn't be seen as realistic in any way whatsoever, it's just like rating the flash movie as realism which would be totally bourgeoisie.
Art has its form. Stahelski in an interview said he wanted the action to be as overthetop as possible and he absolutely nailed it in every scene 100% imp.
I've watched it in cinemas and rewatched it today. The cinematography of this movie is impeccable, if you pause in any frame you could decide to make any part a wallpaper bro. The attention to detail is so on point that I had to rewatch some scenes to totally get it. The scene where the Owner of the New York Continental was walking past the art placed on the walls if you're an art student or aficionado you'd realise it says something about the 60 forms of defeat and the Manager (after researching that scene) took 60 steps to the middle!!!!(mind blown!)
The action was so damn great bro and that's the main deal about this movie - no one really cares about the story, we just want to see some ass whooping bro!!!! Awesome art direction, stunt work. It wasn't like some movies where some actors will be waiting for their turn to get their ass kicked broo, If you check the background actors there made real time decisions!
If you didn't like John Wick 4, you were just looking at it at the wrong direction. Is just like rating a Wes Anderson by its humor alone
To me John WICK was 9.5/10.
I didn't go in expecting a masterpiece story...I went to see Keenu Reeves kick some àss....
And I did enjoy the movie and the fight scenes

My major complaints however are:

1. Length...3 hours was too much...it became very tedious...it was like watching a 3 hours fighting compilation...it was fun for a while, then it became a chore...
The fight on the busy road was refreshing tho

2. Resolution...the resolution was quite weak. After killing the previous Marquis...all he had to do was join a family and stage a duel with the new one to be free from his obligations?
What was the point of Chapter 3 then?

Watching a movie for fighting scenes doesn't mean I won't notice these things

1. In my opinion tho it was long enough
2. John Wick didn't know it could be resolved that way because right from the beginning we already know he had no knowledge about the High Table not to talk of its old traditions and we already know the owner of the New York Continental won't give up any information without gaining anything from it

I don't see this making any money but it's recognition will only be in award night 👀 even though it would have a loooot of competition this year

you never had issues with the length of the movie? That's quite surprising cos many people did have issues with the length as from what I've seen online...
And tbh the movie had no reason to be that long

Honestly I can't remember much about Chapter 3...but it's quote weird that none of his associates mentioned such an easy way out for John Wick...
In chapter 4 there seemed to be quite a number of people who knew about that method

The rule too makes things quite easy...you can kill the Marquis or commit any attrocity and walk Scot free by simply challenging the new Marquis to a duel...or if you don't have a family already, you can join one and do the challenge...

It means any member of a family can do and undo and simply walk away free with a duel

I agree.... It's an awards movie. Looks grounded, well written and produced. Nicely picked cast.

Somehow, something tells me this MIGHT make money this year. It's release date in holiday season looks like great programming, also has that family appeal while still geared towards older audience.
Also being in awards season helps it's marketing as well.

If it grosses anywhere around $100mn that's a win, so far the budget isn't overblown past $50mn (which I doubt).
Anyways, the trailer looks pretty dope and encourages me to see it in theatres. Spielberg being attached is a good bet.

I've been hyping The Flash for quite a while on this thread without complaining much about the CGI on the trailers because it was still in progress and I believed it would be fixed before the release of the movie...

Now that I saw the final trailer and the CGI still looks quite underwhelming... apparently I should not complain abi?

DC fanboys sha...don't become like Marvel fanboys that defend anything

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by NaijaMemes: 11:16pm On May 24, 2023
Fast X aka Fast and furious 10. 6/10.

The only thing going for the movie franchise now is the car chase scenes and the banter between tyrese and ludacris.

And guess what? It is a 2 part film. 2 hours plus!!!

The action doesn't disappoint. Also, yet another dead character is miraculously revived!!

Hmm you're right tho but maybe the reason the declaration wasn't in part 3 was because there was no Marquis🤔🤔

exactly what I wanted to point out!!!!!! Even the first trailer the cgi was really bad Marvel has its issues but its CGI can't be as bad as DC super girl was looking like a plastic toy held by a child to fly

I and many others assumed it was merely an unfinished VFX that would be polished before release...

However even this final trailer has poor CGI...
I don't know if the clips from the final trailer are from recent footage or old footage from when the VFX was uncompleted

He didn't know about doing such until he was told Mr Man. Desperate times, calls for desperate measures.

The manager had a score to settle with the Marquis and the High Table that's why he told Wick to Initiate it. Remember even the head of the Roska Roma, the woman didn't know about the duel until her Church priest confirm it after Wick told her.

So you can stop with polluting this thread with your one-sided opinion. It's not funny anymore.

PS: which previous marquis did John Wick kill?

No wonder you're asking these questions

I talked about how it was such an easy way out

And if you did watch the movie, you won't be asking me the previous Marquis John Wick killed


Or did you miss the scene at the desert at the start of the movie?
John Wick killed him in the desert and just as he predicted, he was replaced immediately

see how you've just embarrassed yourself. The dude at the beginning of the movie who John Wick killed is The Elder, the only one who sit above the table. He's not a Marquis in anyway.

Guy abeg rest and stop this nonsense

I just googled...and yeah you're right...it's an Elder he killed who was replaced

But I'm also right in the sense that he had an easy way out after killing an Elder...
In fact it's even more ridiculous now that he had such an easy way out after killing an Elder


So explain to me how it makes sense that Wick killed and Elder, simply joined a family, challenged the Marquis and is free?
It means any Tom or Harry in a family can kill an Elder and walk away easily

What a ridiculous plot convenience...
A plot convenience no one knew existed in Chapter 3...but suddenly everyone knows it in Chapter 4


if I'm in the world of John Wick, what stops me from joining a family and killing an Elder, Marquis or anyone, and walking away freely after challenging a Marquis to a duel

Please where did I defend anything. It's just you whining about something that isn't there; many professionals have watched the full movie and none has complained about a weak CGI except you and another fan boy spotting it from the trailers. If the movie is released and it's bad, I'll condemn it, DC or not. I'm not sure there's any DC movie I have outrightly praised here. "The Batman" is probably the only DC movie that didn't get the stick from me even though I still complained about its slow pace

An easy way out you say? A easy way out that cost him his life? You call it easy?

I bet in John Wick chapter 2 you knew about the Marquis De Grimmot and also about the Elder who sit above the table?

Since you want me to explain the emboldened part, it's simple: rules. Remember John Wick himself knew about High Table duels but believes it's a myth.

Winston the manager of the continental New York knows the rules and how to get under or above them. It explains why he's manage the New York hotel for so long and with it, forge alliances.

You are not right in any sense G. The bone of contention was that you said the guy John Wick killed in the beginning was a Marquis, which Shaqfu clearly nabbed you in that lie. So there was no need for the shalaye to prove an obvious lie.

Try dey rest sometimes so you don't make yourself an easy target for ridicule.

cost him his life because he didn't want to kill Caine.

He knew about a rule that could literally set him free but ignored it because he suspected it was a mere myth .... Wow grin

Even aside Winston, everyone seemed to suddenly know about the rules....even Mr Nobody suddenly knew about it...

But somehow, the manager of Osaka Continental did not know about the ancient rule? grin


This is the same rule that random members of the family that John Wick joined all knew about.

This is what we call "peak plot convenience"
When you write your character into a corner and you make an àsspull to get your character out of it

Whether it's an Elder or a Marquis he killed changes nothing...the fact is that he did commit a major crime against the high table...
And he was given an easy way out

A non-existent rule that only came up suddenly out of nowhere...a rule that the Manager of the Osaka Continental had no idea about...but random members of a random family knew all about

I'm speaking about the trailers...Mr Man

Fact is the CGI in The Flash trailers have been awful. The final trailer was released yesterday with the same awful CGI

The only possible excuse is that maybe the trailer was made using unfinished scenes...but it's highly unlikely since it's the final trailer

And for context, I also saw tweets yesterday of people who claimed to have seen the preview and said the CGI is bad...

We can never know for sure until we see the full movie...but it's a fact that the CGI in the final trailer is awful

It's only on this thread that someone isn't allowed to critique movies grin

Any critque about the plot or writing of a movie is suddenly met with insults rather than answers grin

The rule in John Wick is so ridiculous that a family can literally organize to wipe out multiple members of the High Table...wipe out a Marquis or Elder...

And walk away Scot free by challenging the present Marquis to a duel 😭😭😭


But apparently I'm not allowed to point this out because it's a crime to point out a ridiculous plot point in a movie I enjoyed
