Plus, that poster.

Nerdist interview with Keanu Reeves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLhxzbrTGxI

"The directors, David and Chad, really realise that vision so you can be super serious but at the same time, have the humour; have the fun of those moments. Because John is so mythic and the stakes are so high but at the same time, it's just a dog."

Ok, I'm more hyped because they are aware of how silly the premise is and just want to have fun.

I don't have the same problem with the premise others have. Clearly this is just an angry dude who was looking for any excuse to start murdering people again, and using something flimsy like the death of his dog to justify a rampage.

It's a heck of a lot more original that other premises, anyway.

Actually people can really identify with the loss of a pet, almost more so than say a child, firstly for demographic reasons - more pets than kids, but secondly because parents actually don't even like thinking about that.

So emotionally, it's not trivial (flimsy) AT ALL.

This movie is sitting at 100%, but with 11 reviews. I know its still early, but I'm surprised and thought it would get awful reviews.

 

[beelzebozo]

for some reason i cannot stop thinking about how much i want to see this movie.

 

[Foggy]

Gonna try and see it tomorrow with the live-streamed Q&A. If anything, I'll definitely be seeing it this weekend.

 

[JaseMath]

Really interested in this. My friend said his reaction to John Wick was the same as with Taken: "Holy fucking shit".

 

[Chris R]

The nonstop ads I've seen for this do not make me want to see the movie. OK he's back and shoots guns but not even a drop about what the movie is about? I'll wait for reviews before deciding if I see it along with interstellar next month.

It's a stylish action movie where a dude who is held in high regard in the underworld is going on a scorched earth campaign. Wouldn't you consider it a good thing that the movie isn't completely spoiled?

I'm not asking for the movie to be spoiled. I'm just saying I didn't get the bolded from any trailer at all. All I got was it has Keanu and guns.

Pretty sure you're the only one who had not figured it out after seeing it.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Came back from a screening. This movie is awesome. What a surprise. Great action and surprisingly funny.

 

[Winterfang]

Just saw the movie, I didn't even saw the trailer. Just heard about it from the AMA and a friend invited me to see it.

Movie was great, best gun action I've seen in years. And they hyped John pretty well earlier on the movie, so even before he started shooting anyone. You already knew they fucked up.

[Boogie]

This movie kicked ass.

That is all.

 

[Prologue]

Keanu looks like he did most of his stunts, no?

 

[Mordeccai]

Man I really want to go see this. Gotta wait until Monday which sucks.

Keanu is just so much fun to watch on the screen.

 

[HiiiLife]

Dope movie. Dat gunplay doe.

"He stole John Wick's car and killed his dog"
"... Oh"

I stayed to the credits (not because John Wick kicked so much ass that I was expecting Nick Fury to appears in the credits inviting him to the avenger or anything) and they where two stunt actors for Keanu.

The crow started laughing at the scene, they already knew what kind of movie they where in for.

 

[Jarmel]

About time we see some Gun-kata in a movie again.

Wait, there's actual Gunkata in this?

 

[Boogie]

Dope movie. Dat gunplay doe.

The gunplay was great, but I was most impressed by the grappling action. Probably the best use of grappling choreography I've seen in an action movie.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Great movie, also loved seeing some of those HBO/The Wire actors in there.

Speaking of HBO has anyone watched OZ?

Spoiler

It was great to see a little O'Reily in Dean Winters character when he got hit by the car and said "Russian cocksuckers".

 

[Winterfang]

This movie made me sad, that we won't get a Constantine sequel. Please make it, while Keanu can still do action!!!.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Movie was sweet. I'd be up for a sequel.

 

[Blizzard]

I also rather liked the movie, though I'm not really sure which is the official thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=913241&page=6 was active until I saw this) at the moment.

I thought that though very violent, it treated the violence more as a medium than an end to itself, and somehow that made it less disturbing for me. I'd personally rather not have a sequel -- the story was pretty much complete as it was, and remember that one Matrix movie with Reeves that got sequels?

All the headshots had me going crazy in my seat.

That is retarded.

Why wait so long?

 

[Sinatar]

This was absolutely fantastic, completely blown away.

 

[Megalosaro]

Viggo was a fantastic actor. His reaction to to hearing his son fucked up was was amazing.

Liked some of the eccentric choices he made in his performance, like mimicking the

pencil stab

or that fake-out he threw John

, or the way he handed his dude the gun in the car. He could have played it all straight, but that would have been boring like his nothing bad guy from Ghost Protocol.

 

[Discotheque]

i almost got a bit too excited, thought y'all were saying viggo mortensen was in this haha.

checking it out on tuesday.
