To be honest, I was not that impressed. It was at least half an hour too long, and it felt as if they used material from the earlier chapters to create this one. And the music was not that well done. If they gave this one a subtitle I would go with Bass-Boosted, or Retread.

Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins were highlights though, and I enjoyed the myth expansion of the High Table world and customs.

6.5/10

This probably has the most preposterous nonsensically character decisions and plot armor of the whole franchise, but also a few of the best (and certainly MOST) fights with fantastic set pieces and lush cinematography.
You better know beforehand which matters more for you - and if 3 hours of John Wick ain't just too much.

In the fourth and final chapter of John Wick (though the universe evidently wants to live on), Wick makes a final bid for his freedom, if only he can evade a blind assassin (Donnie Yen) and a Nobody with an attack dog (Shamier Anderson) to get to the highly punchable (but sadly not French no matter how much they say so) Bill Skarsgård. You basically spend the whole movie wanting Keanu to team up with Yen and Anderson because they are so cool. Donnie Yen in particular runs away with Chapter 4, his character a real highlight, effortlessly cool. But then, that's why you hire Donnie Yen. Otherwise, it's pretty much what you expect from a John Wick film. Well-produced mayhem inspired by Hong Kong cinema, relentless action, and intriguing world building. The bloom is off the rose at this point - I'll never be as entranced as I was by Chapter 2 - but it's solid, and unlike Chapter 3 which I felt was padding to keep the franchise going longer, this one matters.

Preferred 3, too campish

Keanu couldn't deliver lives well in this one in particular

Seven favs so far. Is it really the best in the series? I felt the first was cliché but preferred the other two

After 4 chapters, enough is enough. The first one was great, the second better than expected. The 3rd one was becoming more and more repetitive. The fourth one is 3 hours of mindless video game shooting.

Yes, it's fun for a bit but way too long and when logic, motivation, story and thrills go out the window, so does the movie and it becomes boring.

Movie does look great and sounds amazing and stunt team is again, great!

It's hard to believe they could top Chapter 3 in ridiculousness and camp but they did. And not in a good way.
I really envy people who can turn off their brain enough to find this drivel entertaining... or who never had a brain to turn off in the first place maybe, they probably have a lot more entertainment these days than I am when I watch movies.

Copy & paste thoughts from John Wick 3 - good action photographed with style and grace, but too many stupid bits about lore, too drawn out & a distinct lack of consequence that means whilst the fights are fun it's hard to *care*. Only now add a frankly ridiculous runtime to the growing list of issues. If there's another, I shan't be in the audience

Worst of the four.

Sure it's pretty much 2.5 hours of pure action but the storyline just isn't there and as much as I like Keanu, he very much looked like an old man fighting with his body movement.

Glad this is the last one.

Not only the best chapter of the four, also one of the best action flicks overall.
From the first minutes on, you know you're going to be in for a treat.
John Wick's punches against the wooden plank, accompanied by the deep bass slams, is sure to wake up the neighbours.
The scenery and cinematography is gorgeous, as well as the sound mix. Watch this on a screen as big as possible and with the volume up as much as possible. Guaranteed to give your subwoofer a workout.
..
I see people complaining that it's more of the same. Nothing but guns and ass kicking..
To me that is like going into the rain without an umbrella and complain you're getting wet.
What did you expect numbnuts? It's a John Wick movie!

It's actually impressive how paper thin the plot is within these last few John Wick movies and this one is no different. And yeah, I know that it's a Wick movie and action is what mostly everyone came for but seriously, just because a movie is action centric cannot mean that it doesn't need a compelling plot or at least a shred of character development. It's style over substance to such a monstrous degree that it is straight up boasting about it for nearly 3 whole hours and assaulting your senses the entire merry way. Color me not a fan. If any series of films ever reduced action sequences into something totally long and boring, it'd be the Wick films.

Just more of the same, with a few more ideas taken from the Raid 2 (which is a way better movie) - the action scenes become implausible and even somewhat tiresome early on. And it's too long. But overall, a pretty good time. Not worth the $20 I stupidly paid for it on Amazon.

Phenomenal. Loved every second. Groundbreaking fight scenes and the story is good enough to keep you hooked.

LOL, the day after I watched it for the IMDB Top 250 it fell off.
