John Wick: Chapter 4 Review



  John Wick: Chapter 4


              As this is my first review, I'd like to provide a quick introduction to the structure I'll be using. I won't start with an overly long introduction to the movie since I assume you already know what it's about. However, if you're unfamiliar with it, a quick Google search can help. Firstly, I'll rate the movie in seven categories out of ten. Next, I'll provide the reasons for those ratings along with my experience and thoughts about the movie. Then, I'll suggest whether or not you should watch it. Finally, I'll conclude by saying, " It all comes down to preference. Everyone has their own tastes, and this is according to mine," just so you don't track down and kill me.

So here are those ratings

  •   Plot: 1/10  
  •   Acting: 7/10    
  •   Direction: 6/10
  •   Cinematography: 9/10 
  •   Soundtrack: 6/10 
  •   Originality:  2/10
  •   Emotion: 1/10 
                     After doing some 5th-grade math, I came up with an overall rating of 5/10, which is reasonable, if not too generous. Now, let's talk about the plot. Well, there's no real plot to speak of, just like in the other John Wick movies. Sure, there's some dialogue peppered in between the epic killing sprees, but it's all just an excuse to show Keanu Reeves being badass. We all know that's why we watch John Wick, but since it's a movie, I suppose I should consider the plot. I gave it a 1/10, and that's only because it finally ended.

Moving on to the acting, which I gave a 7/10. The reason for that is mainly due to the action scenes. They are pretty darn good - well choreographed and satisfying to watch. But here's the thing: there's just too much of it! Don't get me wrong, we all love seeing John Wick doing some kung fu and shooting people point-blank in the head. But this movie takes it to a whole new level. The fight scenes are so long and repetitive that I almost fell asleep at one point. And let's be real, the action is so over-the-top that it's not too far from an Indian movie. I mean, how is John Wick not dead with all of his bones broken before the end of the movie?

Now, let's talk about the cinematography, which I have to say is pretty darn good! The lighting, camera work, and locations where all the action takes place are really cinematic and eye-catching. I found myself enjoying the visual feast that was presented before me.

As for the soundtrack, it was okay. There were some electronic/metal tracks that helped to boost the action scenes, but nothing too memorable or standout.

Some diehard John Wick fans might argue that the emotional weight of the movie deserves more points. And to be fair, the ending did have a bit of emotional resonance that tugged at my heartstrings a little bit. That's why I gave it one point, but let's not get too carried away here. We're still talking about a movie where the main character kills people left and right without any remorse.

So, should you watch it? If you're in the mood for some mindless, over-the-top action, then sure, go for it. Just don't expect too much in terms of plot or character development.

In conclusion, for me, the movie felt like four overcooked dry chicken nuggets out of a six-piece box. It all comes down to preference though. Everyone has their own tastes, and this is according to mine. Overall, the action and cinematography were great, but the lack of a coherent plot and repetitive fight scenes left me feeling unsatisfied.

Space Junk: A Growing Threat to Our Satellites and Space Missions

Space junk, also known as orbital debris, is any human-made object that orbits the Earth but has no useful function. It includes defunct satellites, rocket stages, fragments from collisions and explosions, and even paint flakes and dust. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), there are more than 34,000 objects larger than 10 cm, about 900,000 objects between 1 and 10 cm, and more than 128 million objects smaller than 1 cm in orbit around the Earth. These numbers are expected to increase as more satellites are launched and more collisions occur. Why is space junk a problem? Space junk poses a serious threat to our satellites and space missions for several reasons. First, space junk can damage or destroy operational satellites that provide vital services such as communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and Earth observation. A collision with a small piece of space junk can create a dent or a hole in a satellite, affecting its performance or rendering it useless. A collision...

Organoid Intelligence: Next step in Biocomputing

Organoid intelligence (OI) is a novel and exciting field that aims to create biological computing systems using 3D cultures of human brain cells, also known as brain organoids. In this article, we will explore what organoid intelligence is, how it works, what are its potential applications and challenges, and some real-world examples of OI research. What is organoid intelligence? Organoid intelligence is the ability of brain organoids to exhibit certain behaviors or responses that are indicative of intelligence, such as problem-solving, learning, or adapting to changing environments. Brain organoids are miniature versions of the human brain that are grown in the lab from stem cells. They contain neurons and other brain cells that form connections and networks, similar to the natural brain. Each organoid has about the number of cells one would find in a fruit fly's nervous system and is about one-three-millionth the size of the human brain. How does organoid intelligence work? To ac...
