Brainless, stupid

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2019)

Sometimes I felt like I'm watching cutscenes from a first person shooter. Problem is, I played FPS games with better story. There are parts where I was like, "wow, this is going to end up pretty bad very soon". Well, John Wick seemed to ignore these signs, which makes him the world's dumbest assassin. He makes amateur mistakes without reason, he might do them on purpose, maybe he hates himself and he enjoys suffering subconciously. Or maybe the writers were simply terrible. After the hype train I expected the John Wick movies to be better than most vengeance films. Well, they are actually worse. It's killing, shooting, fighting all the way through, without any meaningful parts. If there's anything they are worth watching for are the visuals, which are absolutely stunning and very professionally made, sometimes comic book-like.
