The fights in these deals just get more and more stupefying.
I was just watching Ch 2 again, and he’s in this brawl, wielding a shotgun, and goes to shoot a guy and it clicks, he’s out of ammo.
So, because he’s John motherfucking WICK, he shoves the barrel up against the guy’s chest (at first I thought he was actually going to impale the guy on it) and pins him to the wall.
Then, with his other hand, he reaches into his pocket and gets a shell, loads it, jacks the slide, and BOOM!
Feelsbadman. The first one is amazing, I was a bit skeptical but I’m so glad I watched it at the cinema. The second one is…well, more of the same, which is for the most part good. They created some very interesting lore around the character of John Wick, not what you’d expect to see in a run-of-the-mill revenge movie.
It definitely helps, you don’t get the feeling of watching a cartoon. Another one that comes to mind is Mad Max: Fury Road, all the action scenes are real and the limited cgi here and there isn’t too obnoxious.
If John Wick had him flying around using strings and cgi effects in every fight, it would look like hot trash.
Never mind them, they’re just doing that thing where whatever the cool kids think, they say the opposite, because it makes them feel like they’re cool. But everyone knows they really aren’t.
