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.

Linear Time and Its Paradoxes

Time is one of the most fundamental aspects of our experience, but also one of the most mysterious and controversial. How do we understand time? Is it a fixed and objective reality, or a subjective and relative construct? Is time travel possible, and if so, what are the implications for causality and free will? In this article, we will explore the concept of linear time and its paradoxes, and explain why it is unlikely to be true. What is Linear Time? Linear time is the idea that time has a beginning and an end, and that it flows in one direction from past to future. This view of time is influenced by the Christian worldview, which posits that time was created by God at the moment of Genesis, and that it will end at the Last Judgement. Linear time implies that there is a clear distinction between past, present and future, and that events are ordered by their temporal sequence. Linear time is also compatible with some scientific theories, such as the Big Bang model of cosmology, which s...

Warp Drive: A Scientific Possibility or a Science Fiction Fantasy?

Warp drive is a term that refers to a hypothetical propulsion system that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than light. The concept of warp drive has been popularized by many science fiction works, especially the Star Trek series, but is it possible in reality? What is warp drive and how does it work? Warp drive is based on the idea of distorting or warping the space-time continuum around a spacecraft, creating a bubble of space that moves faster than light relative to the rest of space. The spacecraft itself would not move faster than light within the bubble, but would appear to do so from an external observer's perspective. The idea of warp drive is inspired by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes how gravity affects space and time. According to this theory, massive objects like stars and planets can bend or curve space-time around them, creating gravitational fields. Similarly, a warp drive would manipulate space-time by using some form of exotic ...

The Great Filter: A Possible Explanation for the Fermi Paradox

One of the most intriguing questions in science and philosophy is whether we are alone in the universe. Are there other intelligent civilizations out there, or are we the only ones? If there are others, why haven't we detected any signs of them? This is known as the Fermi paradox, named after the physicist Enrico Fermi, who famously asked "Where are they?" in 1950. There are many possible answers to this paradox, but one of the most intriguing and unsettling ones is the idea of the Great Filter. This is a hypothesis proposed by economist Robin Hanson in 1996, which suggests that there is some extremely difficult or improbable step in the evolution of life that prevents most planets from developing advanced civilizations capable of interstellar communication and travel. The Great Filter could be anything from the origin of life itself, to the emergence of multicellular organisms, to the development of technology, to the avoidance of self-destruction. The idea is that there...
