I love John Wick - they’re like those 80s movies that @Tim loves, except watchable.
First one was funny. The rest didn't have the same absurdity.
Maybe Keanu’s limitations as an actor make it difficult to sustain a story arc over a series? See also: The Matrix trilogy.
He’s actually fucken terrible and not in a good ‘Arnie” way either.

Yep and he seems to basically play the same character, Matrix, Constantine, JW. Do you get the feeling the studio are milking him better than a scouser could?

Both examples are poor writing more than anything to do with the actor.
He has a narrow range, but he’s good within it. Not everyone is a character actor.
His main attribute is he’s charismatic. All subjective of course.

By-The-Way... (BTW)...
I seem to recall there's been at least one Ferner claiming(/bragging?) that they've never seen a single John Wick movie.
Give yourself a fucking massive upper-cut, then, when your stupid head is lying on the floor mouth agape, take your dick'n'balls and give yourself a wee tea-baggin'.John Wick movies are not clever. They are not original. They ARE derivative. But they also ARE a metric-fuck-tonne of fun.
If any fluffybunny claims to like classics such as Commando, Rambo, any HK-era-Woo, any Hollywood-era-Woo, any fucking stupid-fun-guns-and-shit-action-movies-of-EVER...
but NOT John Wick... you're either a lying hipster dipshit, a dead-set liar fluffybunny, a straight-up stupid fluffy-bunny, or fluffy-bunny retard.
AND... (Sorry - meant to find the quote from the retard Welsh player who threatened the wife of another player on twitter, and cleverly re-use that, and... just couldn't. Brain-too-dumb from watching stupid derivative americanised versions of gun-fu movies.) -
You’re going to have to explain about the Welsh player now. I’m interested.

Yeah, sorry - smashed after going to the Malthouse today, and trying to work my way through 29 WCIPAs from last night's NZ WCIPA challenge still on tap.
I was alluding to some prick who recently made some stupid twitter challenge... he'd made some comment about rugby/concussion/dementia... another international player's wife had called him out on it comparing it to "would you say the same thing to somebody who got skin cancer despite sunbathing", then he invited her to meet up in person for a fight.
Or some shit.
Sorry - really wanted to find the tweet, use it as a quote - but too smashed. Should have just omitted that bit completely.
MIght not have even been a Welsh git, could easily been another nationality... we've all got them. Was just trying to include some sport-relevant linkage. -

Actually no I don’t, it’s offensive you’ve mentioned it in the same sentence as Commando.

@bayimports My kids, Marcel, Star Wars and Disney fans, thought this movie was crap. Waititi needs to hang it up. Marvel continues to put out trash. First Dr Stange was good. Second not so. Has gone down hill since End Game.

Not much of a marvel fan but it sounds like they’re doing the Star Wars thing, releasing a shitload of content with extremely inconsistent quality.

Top effort that man.
How far'd you get?
