I pirate everything, but I bought Dredd, and despite seeing John Wick twice already, I am buying it as well. It is possible that John Wick is one of the most quintessential movies in years. Every part of it works, and drives the story forward with no ambiguity or time-wasting. His wife dies, the bad guys wrong him, and he fucks them up systematically. End. I love it. And I have changed my mind, I like it more than The Equalizer.
I'm glad someone pointed that out because I couldn't even figure out what it meant.
There isn't anything to get, it's a mediocre action flick that people for some reason are sucking off like it's the second coming.

I don't really care which is better than which. Loved Dredd, loved Matrix (1), loved John Wick, loved Die Hard, they are all great movies. We need more great movies.

Watched it last night. Loved it.
Best part is where he walks up to the son and kills him with no talking.
My only gripe is the scene which he was robbed in.
They edited out the part he was taking heavy sleeping pills after his wife died, and that he could barely function on them. Should have left that in.

Have to question what possessed them to leave that out because he got birch slapped then a couple of hours later he's an unstoppable killing machine.
Bourne movies also far superior to this.

Wow, I didn't expect to see an opinion that places Bourne (any of them) above this. Out of all the shit recently listed in this thread, I'd rate all of it above Bourne. Fuck you, shaky-cam.

didn't even need sleeping pill scene, he wakes up groggy, hears dog, walks down stairs, sees 2 masked men, then gets grand slammed with a baseball bat to the back of his head, who gets up from that?
of course after he gets fucked with, his situational awareness is turned up to 11, groggy john wick looking for his puppy is just like any man.

Probably left it out because popping pills is the new cool thing to do and it might've been causing them some hassles?
Also, Bourne movies are boring as shit and some of the most overrated movies i've ever seen. First one was decent, the second and third were worse than the Matrix sequels...

well since john wick murdered every crime boss within a hundred mile range, he will have to take his act on the road. this means filming on location and it also means somewhere they can film on the cheap. get ready for "John Wick 2", where he kills everyone in bulgaria, those bohunks must pay for choking his parakeet and damaging his dead wife's matching set of luggage at the airport!

Fantastic. This had the most satisfying gunplay I've seen in a movie in a long time. I really appreciated the care he took to tap almost everyone in the head at least once even after already taking them out of comission.
