How can a modern film be so good?
>>67773425
I think what made John Wick so good was that it didn't try to be more than what it was supposed to be.

Pretty much. It's not a masterpiece of cinema, but it's exactly what a straightforward action movie should be.
>>67773486
With the current state of western cinema I'd argue that qualifies it for masterpiece status. It's a film that knows exactly what it wants to be and makes no excuses for it.
Addy was a kino level cutie

It was directed by former stuntmen instead of some director who has little experience in "action" films.
>>67775203
And it shows. They hired an actor who could do stunts, hired people who could shoot stunts without their leet shakycame 360nofocus skills getting in the way and created a story to link together as much of the hardcore stuntwork together as they could.
>>67775203
Was it written by a stuntman too? That would explain why only the choreography was good and everything else was terrible.
action got a bit boring after the 50th headshot in a row tho tbqhwyf
>>67775266
What I love the most in that movie is the lore they put in it.

You are all joking about this being good movie. I hope so.

People just don't want Keanu to JUST, therefor they're able to delude themselves into thinking John Wick was worth seeing.

what was wrong with it? It's better than anything you can, or ever could write.
>>67773425
1. uncomplicated revenge plot (man likes dog, dog is murdered by russians, man kills russians)
2. main character is likable, his motivation is just and the villains definitely deserve to die
3. great action scenes
I would say it's not difficult but then so many actually mess this up.
>>67777240
>this delusion
This is like the most vanilla R-rated action flick plot available.
>>67775266
nothing about it was terrible
>>67775266
The plot is serviceable. It's not great but it's not trying to be either. It's a vehicle to get the audience from one action scene to the next until Keanu eventually kills the last villain, and that's all it needs to be. It's very satisfying for some.
What I liked about it was at no point was Keanu doing something that that was some stupid action movie ridiculous bullshit. Sure no one would ever actually do that shit and live but in all the fights it really seemed like some real life James Bond shit. Like when that guy is trying to keep the knife out of his chest so Keanu starts hammerfisting it instead of just trying to push harder, it really showed that they put some thought into the character knowing his shit.Him getting shot and being fine hours later was bullshit though, but I guess they were magic hitman pills

He's back, they killed his cat.
If you know anything about the movie industry you can instantly see what John Wick is
They clearly optioned this big ambitious script that is trying to do the "semi-fantasy-esque over-the-top criminal underworld" theme (similar to Payback), with post-Matrix action, and the movie was clearly supposed to establish the setting for a franchise and trilogy, BUT, for whatever weird reason, someone got cold feet along the way and told them to trim it back to a standalone single feature.
You can just smell that it was originally meant to be like 3 hours long and much deeper lore-wise. You can smell the characters that were hastily miscast and smushed to fit into the edited script, so that they seem bizarrely out of place and overexaggerated for how little screen time and relevance they get. You can tell that the budget was gutted.
Some financial decision was made by the higher-ups that the original gamble was no longer worth it, but that they could still have their shot at making it a franchise if they somehow managed to take the hugely reduced scope and budget of the project and create something great. And they didn't.
Watching John Wick is like watching 1/4th of something ambitious that a lot of people resignedly stretched and flayed to cover the space left by the absence of the other 3/4ths. It reminds me of Lucky Number Slevin, where they optioned a script and then forgot to apply enough funding and care to actually turn it into a movie, so it's bizarrely uncanny to moviegoers, like watching an inexplicably high production quality stageplay of some guy's shitty fanfiction with a dumb name.
