It's pretty, at least.

It's an entertaining action movie. I liked it and would recommend it. I'd certainly dial your expectations back from "super awesome" though.Xeogred wrote:I heard some serious hype behind John Wick today, is it really super awesome?
Depends on what would make it super awesome for you. It's a pretty great action movie that mostly stands out for not being super stylized with the shots/camera work, making it easy to follow and appreciate the stunt work and all (makes sense, given that the directors are stuntmen). For plot or something? Nah, not really. Either way, it's definitely worth watching.Xeogred wrote:I heard some serious hype behind John Wick today, is it really super awesome?

Yeah. I would scale back expectations to "reasonably" awesome.Stark wrote:It's an entertaining action movie. I liked it and would recommend it.

"Super awesome" is too strong. I really appreciated it went for smooth action shots over all the shaky cam stuff we tend to see today. I also liked that (while this isn't often an issue for action movies) it was show, not tell. Otherwise, its a for the par action movie based on a slight trope subversion, with well choreographed scenes.Xeogred wrote:I heard some serious hype behind John Wick today, is it really super awesome?
