[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 8974844, member: 6750031"] To be fair, the dialogue has always been fairly weak. It's a story about a guy who had his dog killed and goes off to murderf*^$#! an entire mob organization. The most acting he did in the first movie was the scene where he says, "People keep asking me if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinking I'm back!" I don't think the dialogue is going to be the most important element in these movies. I don't know about you guys, but I watch the John Wick movies to watch him kill. Definitely agree, but still like watching him kill a bunch of people on the way to killing the main villain in each movie. I mean, how many different ways can you kill people in a quick paced story? These are not movies to enlighten the viewers. It's a murder in four parts. It would have been a short movie if injuries were more realistic. Pretty sure it would have ended right after they killed his dog and beat him in the first movie. The rest would have been him recovering in a hospital for a while. Besides his fortitude, I think a bigger exaggeration is his cardio. The guy has cardio for weeks. He goes through fight scenes killing, running, jumping, getting hurt, and just goes on to the next fight scene. I don't know how many of you have ever trained in some fight sport, but do a three-minute round, and if you're not in the right kind of shape for it, your arms feel like they are going to fall off, and you're out of breadth pretty quick if you're going as hard as he does. Not John Wick, though. He has mrder charging cardio. Every time he kills someone, his health bar maxes out. But I think that's part of what makes the movies fun. It's fight scene after fight scene. It's Wick getting hit and hitting back harder. It's Wick falling or getting thrown off a building and surviving. It's Wich getting back up and burning it all to the ground. It's just glorious fights, shootings, explosions, and cute puppies. [/QUOTE]
