The first movie was entertaining, brought a certain look that Hollywood hadn't done. The sequels were simply a few exotic locations and a bit more background on the Continental/High Table and more gun-fu piled up. Lot of more, lots more | |||

Yeah. Most of it must be CGI, because a lot of JW's shooting is directly into a person at very close range--couldn't fake it with camera angles and real blanks would be very harmful. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

He shoots a lot In The head. I loved the first 2. I thought 3 was pretty stupid. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

I just watched #3 for the first time and much prefer the first two. At least one of the hand to hand fight scenes was entirely too long and I started losing interest and fast forwarded....enough with the shattered glass already. | |||

The first will be a cult classic forever. The second and third kinda jumped the shark a bit, but when you realize they movies are really just vehicles to show off what stunt men can do, it's enjoyable. Honesty I want more Continental/High Table world building. That's at least half of what got me to tune in for the third chapter. ---------------------------------------- Death smiles at us all.

The scene with the ninjas and their boss in the glass room went on so long my wife was all 'ffs kill him/them already!' | |||

First two were great. Number 3 was terrible. I'm not expecting much from number 4. Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints | |||

I know I run the risk of being hated for this comment, but am I the only one who thinks these movies are ridiculous? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some gratuitous violence as much as anyone. But all the headshots and the fake blood/brain splatter and all the theatrics between shots is just too much, IMO. ======================== NRA Basic Pistol Instructor NRA Home Firearm Safety Instructor NRA Range Officer NRA Life Member Arkansas Concealed Carry Instructor #13-943 | |||

Yes, but no reason to hate. Watch what you want, always a clicker available. The saying "Are we entertained?" > Yes to everyone else and NO to you.  | |||

I'm sorry, what? Everything in these movies should be standard CQC training!

I was going to binge watch all three this weekend, but after watching the first one tonight, I don't think so. My lord that was fucking stupid. After hearing people go on and on about it the last few years, man was I disappointed.  The best thing about it was the cast, a full lineup of recognizable character and supporting actors. | |||

Had I known the story took place in an alternate universe, some Marvel comic like organized super villain world, I would’ve known wåhat to expect. (and probably wouldn’t have watched) Entertained? Not particularly, I left it on, on the other screen and paid less and less attention as it went along. | |||
