According to the WSJ, The puppy-loving hitman played by Keanu Reeves says just 380 words in John Wick: Chapter 4, despite the film’s nearly three-hour run time. Reeves himself hacked the dialogue down, the film’s director said, and 27% of the 103 lines spoken by Wick in the final cut are a single word. If reports that the actor was paid $15 million to reprise the role are accurate, that’s $39,473 per word. :biggrin:

"Yeah..."

To be fair to Keanu, he's put a lot of work into that role physically...and the dude has a good reputation with everyone he works with.

The videos of his fighting and gun training that are online are a fun watch. I get it.....he really has nothing else to do, I mean....that's his 'job'. But he really dedicated himself to look as 'real' as you possibly can while performing that role so kudos to him.

He always sounds like he's in pain whenever he's talking in these movies. Like he's struggling to get words out.

I checked out John Wick 4 and it was totally sick! The action scenes were insane, and Keanu Reeves was totally badass as always. I don't want to spoil anything, but there were some unexpected twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

The stunts and special effects for the Dragon's Breath rounds were jaw dropping. How did they even do that?  :o

I actually watched part 1 again last night for the first time in years. Oh my god, I forgot how much I love this movie. It almost felt like a different series then 2,3 and 4.

Finally watched part 4 after rewatching the first 3. Easily my least favorite of the 4. The last hour was great but the plot was non-existent. For a 3 hour movie they could have done a better job of explaining and showing John going after the table. Also, did this really need to be 3 hours?

If I had to rank all 4: 1,3,2,4

Its my least favorite too. Its like the just gave up on making a good movie  :P

That being said I will forever love part one and thoroughly enjoy 2

3 it starts to collapse under the weight of its own universe building, but I enjoy it. But I'll never accept a blind person being an expert marksman. The thing with the door bells was clever to hear people, but that got thrown out almost immediately.

Late to the party - I've finally saw it!

As others have said, it's completely bonkers. Fun, but absurdingly over the top. I think the best way to approach these movies is to imagine they're videogames. You're watching someone very good play the John Wick character and he's so good at it that he manages to kill all the enemies.

I agree with the comments above about franchise fatigue; the first movie was simple and brilliant - retired hitman gets his dog killed and wants revenge. And the second one was ok I guess, he has to honor a previous promise and it ends on a great note - "tell them Winston, whoever comes... I'll kill them. I'll kill them all". That's the premise of the third movie then and there, John Wick vs. Everyone! but then they went deep into the world building instead and the more they explained that world, the more they exposed how absurd and unrealistic it is.

The last hour in Paris was waaaaaay over the top. I mean, where is even the police? shootout around the Arch of Triumph? nobody at Montmartre (even if it's dawn) or at the Trocadero? and John falling out of a three stories building and onto a van and walking off easily, that's why I said it's best to imagine these movies are just videogames played by a pro that manages to get to the end  :lol but it was not really worth 3 hours, I watched it over the course of two days actually.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Love all 4 films, but The Continental spinoff show was weak.

Amazon Prime Video for us in Latin America :tup

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."
