Was this matrix 4?

ordinary citizens turning into assasins by magic?

This movie is complete bullshit.
You can watch a YouTube Compilation of the fight scenes and that´s enough.
Cause nothing else in it is any good, story? non sense. Characters? whats this?

answer: A Truly Great action Movie.....


But no seriously, I love The John Wick Movies...but I didnt like The way the tried to expand the world of The assassins Network....

They werent ordinary citizens turning into assasins by magic....Instead They were assassins being activated by A Bounty....

But IMO It was bad writing, and way to weird, for the audience to believe there are that many assassins and that they would all try killing Wick out in the open for the world to see....

If there were Assassins like that everywhere, They would have followed Wick to a isolated area ...

Basically The just went completely overboard in trying to expand On The assassins Network....

all in all still loved the movie....but the story wasnt great

"Basically The just went completely overboard in trying to expand On The assassins Network...."

You got that right. I did realise they were assassins. The magic line just seemed less laughable than the truth.
It also reminds me of "they live" was it? where the aliens all turn point and persue the hero.
oh , and it also reminds me of a award winning sequence on BBC wildlife series "Blue Planet 2"
when a Lizard is pursued across a beach / rocky cliff by hundreds of snakes all appearing out of the rocks
this is it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv9hn4IGofM

This film hasnt got much going for it , apart from the oh so stylish Assasins Guild , which it then totally shits on by turning 20% of the populationm into "activated" assasins which then behave like the high speed zombies from 28 days later.

As you say - they wouldnt madly run after him that instant, although i suppoxse if they dont the next guy gets the bounty

Ya I would have much rather preferred a simply story like wick 1.....Bad Guys kill dog and Wicks hope at a Grieving, wick1 brutally gets his revenge....

But believe it or not, In most of the reviews for Wick 1, most reviewer noted that, One of the best things about the movie was The Assassins world and said they would have liked to see it fleshed out more because it was very well done for what little of it we saw....

so I think this lead the writers down the wrong path...They felt they need to expand on the world and workings of the assassins Network and Unfortunately I just think They didnt write a very good story....

I think expanding on The Assassins Network could have absolutely worked and really been great if they came up with better idea's and a better over story...

John Wick 1 is actually my favorite action movie of all time.....John Wick 2 was my most anticipated film of 2017....It did not disappoint for me, I loved it....but I must admit even during my first viewing in theaters, I didnt like what they did with assassins network....

Its just absurd to have that many assassins on every corner of the street and Jesus Fishburne's ark and organization was ALL TIME AWFUL writing....Homeless people strategically around the city who are actually undercover assassins? lol how that idea ever got past the "what if" stage is amazing to me

I'm concerned about Wick 3...If they made these kind of mistakes in Wick 2....I dont feel confident in Wick 3 especially with Them Rushing it...

Wick 2 was actually A pretty big Box office hit and they want Wick 3 out as soon as possible with a summer release date....I'm afraid this will lead to sloppy writing...

still beyond excited for Wick 3 though...

It's not a documentary about the underworld and real criminals. :D
