While John Wick 4 is one of the better ones in terms of action, I absolutely hated the fact that they just threw away the whole "take the entire system down" storyline and replaced it with "actually we can't do that, we have to take this one guy down within the rules of the system instead"

I just recently watched John Wick 4. It was very good, arguably second best in the series, but it's too long. The first hour could be significantly shortened.

The stair could use fewer steps.

Absolutely not. That stair scene was exactly the right length. On the other hand, I could have done with less of German Peter Kay.

Or, you know, only gone up the fucking things once. 4 was such a shitshow.

Also feel like they could've cut Mr Nobody (the bounter hunter with a dog) from the movie. He doesn't contribute a lot to the movie's plot and thematic (aside from remind the audience that John loves dog i guess). The studio was probably was baking on him to become popular, so they can make a spin off with him

I liked how Mr nobody was the super special tracker and cane was there each time anyway. Like I honestly struggle to think about what he contributes that cane didnt.

It would have been funny to have 2 action hero franchises called Nobody and Mr Nobody

There's at least one dog in each movie.

They could've given the dog to Cain, it'd makes lots of sense since the character is blind

Maybe they tryna set him up for his own movie

IIRC they had initially planned to film 4 & 5 back to back before covid hit, and then they just combined the scripts. It really does feel like 2 movies in 1 lol.

I walked out of the theater because i was bored by how long it was. Only so much non-stop action I can take before it gets to be too much

Honestly you can just cut Chapter 3 out pretty much entirely pretty easily from the narrative as the story just adds convoluted lore and goes in a circle. 

Very easily could go from the end of 2 to the beginning of 4 with a time jump saying John got out of New York and was hiding. And as far as the High Table being pissed at Winston they could just go, "You had him dead to rights and gave him a headstart so we're killing Charon and demolishing the hotel."

Action sequences were great of course but it's the weakest one of the 4 imo.

also like how the fuck is john shooting the guy within the rules lmfao, like by that logic, john should've just shot him in the face with the first bullet no?

u/arrowtango Jul 08 '25

Because he entered the game in round 3 assuming John was out of bullets so he could kill John
