4.5 Wicks of 5 Blondies
Watched this and it was a delightfully entertaining romp. A couple of eye roll moments, but definintely worth the watch.
Looks gloriously Finnish. Realistic? A hundred years ago in Lapland those fishermen and hunters were damn tough.

Not being able to watch the movie until end of July but hearing about the premise I'm impressed that the Fins have managed to make a WW2 movie involving themselves where the Nazi's are still the bad guys.
The Sami people are really interesting, I've met a few at indigenous conferences, it's always good for me not to be the whitest there.

Is it any good, normally things get pretty crap by the fourth movie?
I guess if you can turn your brain off, or enjoy the F&F franchise, then this would be thoroughly entertaining.

No different than the previous, then. JW is good, 2 and 3 ok. Won't bother with 4 if it's worse than 3

It's probably not worth watching it if this is the mindset you're starting from.
I enjoyed it, it's switch of your brain fun, like @Bovidae the first is still the best for me.

Mmm oh well if I have a few beers it'll A) seem better and b) shorter - as I'll forget half of it. If I do decide to watch it haha

John Wick 4
- Yeah, pretty bad
- It's like they somehow looked at how successful the previous ones were, and completely misunderstood which part kept it successful
-
- ie: It wasn't the whole "Table" bullshit
-
- But... this leaned heavily into that... and every aspect of that was fucking shit
-
- and when they tried to recreate "fight scene in a cool museum type setting" - pretty shit
-
- But... when it just went back to core concept - which it did fairly often, to be fair - enjoyable
I'm going to watch John Wich again several times.
I'm probably going to watch John Wick 2 & 3 again occasionally.
I'm only ever going to watch John Wick 4 again as a drunken "why was that so shit again?" reminder. Like Lethal Weapon 4.
And tit-watch: zero.That fucking poker game. I mean... fuck you.
I appreciated some (attempts) of the nods to proper original kung-fu movies, but that was a spit-in-the-face. -
I've been thinking about watch the Mark Lester (Commando) movie Extreme Justice (1993).
A rogue cop joins an elite L.A.P.D. unit who secretly operate as a vigilante death squad, but soon begins to question their methods.
