John Wick Chapter 4 Review

 John Wick 4 Why it was the Perfect Addition to the Series


The john wick movies are some of the best action movies in Hollywood. They have continually set the standards for fighting on screen and achieved high ratings when doing it. John Wick 4 is no exception. Where it lacked in plot it made up for in killing. 


The Plot 5/10

This should come as no surprise. When a movie boasts a kill count of over 140 people there is not much time for a sufficient plot. The john wick series is not known for having great plot points so this movie stayed on brand. They developed the characters and the plot of the series in a good way but it was fairly predictable and lacked luster.

The Theme 4/10 

You do not go to a John Wick movie and expect a good theme. There is little to no moral present and no overarching theme other than killing. This is to be expected. The only theme that is possible to piece together through the blood splattering and bullets is to never give up. Yet even this is a stretch.

The Dialogue 7/10

John Wick is a fairly quiet main character thought the first three films in the series, and this character trait is the same going into the fourth. With a character that talks little it is important to make his few lines memorable. This movie does a great job of that. The dialogue is funny and quick-witted. None of the lines feel cringy or out of place.

Cinematography 10/10

I have seen many action movies in my life but this is by far the victor in this category. It is artwork on screen. Every single scene is beautifully put together and looks amazing. For a movie with only a 100 million dollar budget, they knocked it out of the park. Truly stunning. I have never seen death look so good. 

Overall 7/10 

The movie is a perfect addition to the John Wick series, but the lack of plot and character development brings this movie's score down quite a bit. Don't get me wrong it is still a good movie, but do not expect any crazy twists or good plot points. The best compliment I  can give this movie is that they have perfected killing people on screen.

Five Nights at Freddy's Movie Review

Image
 Five Nights at Freddy's, the Good Bad and Ugly. This post will contain spoilers for the FNAF movie Ahh yes the game that scarred all of our childhoods. Its the reason I will never go back to Chuckey Cheese's, and its one of the highest grossing horror game franchises of all time. Unfortunately the movie did not have as much luck as the games.  Plot 3/10 This videogame series had one of the most in-depth plot lines of any videogame ever created. I was hoping that would shine into the movies, unfortunately the plot was confusing, irrational, and broke the lore of the FNAF universe. When thinking of the many plot holes giving this movie a 3/10 is generous. There was no reason to include the custody battle, the fist security guard was useless, and Elizabeth Afton was keeping secrets for no reason. The one part I did like was that the movie actually took five nights. It started with the first night being easy, and they got progressively harder. The Theme 1/10 This one is kind of o...

A Man Called Otto: Movie Review

Image
 A Man Called Otto: The Megar Man, With The Mighty Purpose. Tom Hanks has been in a shocking number of hit movies and has played an enormous variety of characters from Woody in Toy Story to the kid in Polar Express. Even with the massive collection of personalities he has played on screen, I thought this one seemed out of place for his acting style. I could not have been more wrong. Did I mention this movie was nominated for 10 Oscars? The Plot (10/10) For those of you who do not know, this movie is about an elderly man named Otto who is a widower. He is introduced as stern and grumpy and even suicidal. He does not like anyone and nobody seems to like him. All of this changes when he gets a new set of neighbors who are not as rule-following as he would like. Throughout the course of the movie, the old stern man softens up and becomes a joyful soul. The plot was amazing and well-developed. It is hard not to love every second of it.  The Theme (10/10) I will not lie this movie i...

The Super Mario Bros Movie Review

 The Super Mario Bros Movie: Breaking Box Office Records and Spotify Charts (There will be a couple of spoilers, get over it) This movie has broken the box office with a shocking 1.2 Billion dollars worldwide. It is currently the highest-performing movie in 2023 and Jack Black's hit song 'Peaches' is eligible for a Grammy. 'Peaches' is currently #65 in the world on Spotify! With all that hype It's tough for a movie to live up to the high expectations.  The Plot 4/10 The plot was a rollercoaster. It seemed haphazard and disconnected in some parts, but in others, it seemed to be written by Shakespeare himself. To be fair this movie had a runtime of 1hr 32m which is not a lot. Another thing to be said is that this movie is made for kids so the plot doesn't necessarily need to be there, but come on. They went to the Kong Kingdom to get help for battle then they didn't even use their help to defeat Bowser. Also, why was there only one superstar, in the game t...
