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.

FSR 3 on Consoles? A look at AMD's answer to DLSS 3

AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is a cutting-edge upscaling technology that boosts the performance and image quality of games. FSR was first released in 2021 and has since been updated to FSR 2 and now FSR 3, which is expected to launch in September 2023. FSR 3 introduces a new feature called frame generation, which uses AMD's Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) technology to create additional frames for higher framerates. In this blog post, we will explain what FSR 3 is, how it works, and what it means for console gamers. What is FSR 3 and how does it work? FSR 3 is the latest version of AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution, which is an upscaling technology that improves the performance and image quality of games. Upscaling is a technique that renders a game at a lower resolution and then scales it up to a higher resolution, such as from 1080p to 4K. This reduces the workload on the GPU and increases the framerate, but it can also introduce blurriness or artifacts in the image....

CRISPR-Cas9: A Revolutionary Tool for Gene Editing

CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful technology that allows scientists to make precise changes in the DNA of living cells. It has been hailed as a breakthrough that could transform medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and many other fields. In this article, we will explore what CRISPR-Cas9 is, how it works, and what are some of its current and potential applications. What is CRISPR-Cas9? CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9. It is a system that was originally discovered in bacteria as a defense mechanism against viruses. Bacteria store fragments of viral DNA in their genomes, called CRISPRs, and use them as guides to recognize and cut invading viral DNA with the help of an enzyme called Cas9. Scientists have adapted this system to edit any DNA sequence of interest by designing synthetic CRISPRs that match the target DNA and delivering them along with Cas9 into cells. How does CRISPR-Cas9 work? CRISPR-Cas9 works by creatin...
