Fuck off. Ain't no way. I haven't seen this, but the first Matrix is almost perfect(pacing, length, story, etc.), especially considering where the world has ended up since. It holds up so damn well because a massive amount of its commentary is either occurring actually in 2023, has already occurred, or is occurring allegorically.

Supposed to be the final one, but Keanu's comments at the premiere of this makes me highly, highly doubt that.

Matrix is a greater movie in cultural impact and metaphor for the real world.

This is better as a pure movie.

And it is the last one, chronologically. They're doing a spinoff soon that takes place before this one, though.

That's one thing I would have changed about this movie. That and putting the cut hour back in and just splitting it into JW4 and 5.

Donnie Yen's character being blind was interesting and his abilities were impressive, but it really strained the suspension of disbelief after a while.
I kinda have to agree with this in regards to the missing hour. Put it back in. then...
Do everything before the act in Paris as JW4, then Paris as JW5

One question I have.... don't click if you haven't seen it, and spoiler your responses cause I wouldn't want to give this away for anyone who hasn't seen it yet:

The thing at the end when Keanu didn't fire his last bullet...was that on purpose? Like did he intentionally hold back and hope for the best, knowing the asshole Marquis would definitely want to go for the kill shot and thus make himself fair game? Probably not, Donnie was likely just better. But I'd like to think maybe the two of them had some kind of unspoken plan to get out of that mess.
I think they did. Right before the duel, John Wick said something and Donnie Yen finished it, and then they duel. I figured whatever they said was code for the plan.

edit: pretty sure it was “Those who cling to life die, Those who cling to death, live” which i took to mean they were talking about themselves and the marquis

Is this the final entry or something? Or are they gonna make more of these?

I checked out after the 2nd one, the "lore" got too gay

4 is supposed to be the final entry.

I really hope they do at least one more. Would love to see a prequel for the "impossible task" that got him out. Could even throw in the bar scene of him killing 3 with a pencil.

I have no idea about what happens In this film. Ballerina or next films need her to be a tactician. Dafoe was great.


I hate watching 120 lb girls throw around 230 lb guys and the same for men

This doesn't answer your question, but possess another. After Kang leaves the final battle with my further obligation for either him or his daughter, does that mean they could do yet another sequel side movie where Osaka Continental daughter hunts him down for revenge?

I am willing to bet that the "impossible" task initially conceived of for the first movie, would look like a walk in the park compared to what he did in the 3 movies after. It might actually be why they would not bother. Given the last three movies, what would be the real point?

Props to Keanu ect, I haven't seen it yet but this killed it at the box office. Also glad they have tried to promote how stuntmen need more credit

And damn still shitty he's gone. Never got the hype he deserved

Ah shit did not know he died. Liked him in Fringe and in these movies and will be missed in future Horizon games.

Only letdown was seeing Mr Wick working in 9mm and not God's Caliber.
I'm assuming you're referring to the 9mm that isn't even on sale yet? I looked into buying it but it's like 5-6k. I'll just keep my 1911 ect until the price changes

Yep, not gonna say it wasn't one sexy ass gun. But if you're targeting maximum gun porn-age why not also chamber it in a sexy caliber? It's like describing a perfect sex kitten and rounding it off with "she has modest B cup breasts"

If you think 9mm is an inferior round, then you don't know shit about guns
