John Wick 4 Twitter review: 5 reasons why Chapter 4 is being hailed as Best action film of past few decades
John Wick 4 has surpassed its 3 predecessors with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95 percent. Let’s look at 5 tweets that sum up why the 4th installment is the best work in the John Wick series
New Delhi: John Wick 4 has entirely swept over at the box office. With a grand domestic opening of $65 million, the last film of the assassin franchise is also being hailed as its best.
This is not just evident in its huge day 1 collection, but also in critics and netizens’ reviews alike. The 4th installment has surpassed its 3 predecessors with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95 percent.
With everyone once again left in awe of Keanu Reeves as Baba Yaga, the thriller has set a standard for others in this genre.
Let’s look at 5 tweets that sum up why the 4th installment is the best work in the John Wick series:
1. A Gorgeous, gorgeous movie
When we think of action movies, an ethereal setup is not something in our minds. However, John Wick’s chapter 4 is garnering massive appreciation for the god-like beauty of its sets. And the best part– it doesn’t clashes with the devastating tale, but rather enhances it.
John Wick 4 is a full scale Greek epic, every set piece upscaled to Godlike proportions. This thing is unfucking real in how well it balances parodic absurdity and genuine devastation. There’s an extended crane shot that truly made me feel like I’d lost my mind. Holy hell. pic.twitter.com/xLRDOgdzgm

2. Gripping action sequences
John Wick Chapter 4, much like its predecessors, is high on action content. But it deviates from the notoriety of action films where kicks, punches, and guns are mere fillers.
With its brilliant fight choreography, John Wick 4 draws attention to the movement and body language of cinematic violence. In other words, it is bloody as well as beautiful.
there’s a lot of reasons JOHN WICK helped revitalize action, but the biggest is how few “action” movies actually center the excitement and even beauty of the action itself as the main draw––how movement, blocking, body language, framing and rhythm work in sync for maximum impact. pic.twitter.com/IHyu6cDwNv

3. Morbid humor
While Keanu and all his foes and friends are masters of warfare, chapter 4 is just as top-notch in its humor. Thanks to Donnie Yen, for balancing over-the-top action with his comic capabilities. These are the scenes that make this film somewhat humane, and actually make you chuckle out loud.
John Wick 4.
What is it to be satisfied?
I can’t believe the greatness I just watched.
Some of the greatest action I’ve ever seen, hooting and hollering, enjoying every second.
And AT LAST, no waste of Donnie Yen.

4. Bill Skarsgard
That’s it! There couldn’t be a better choice than Bill Skarsgard to play the antagonist against Keanu Reeves. Again, going heavy on the balance element of the film, Bill perfectly portrayed the rich and spoiled aristocrat who knows the world doesn’t run on morals. Also, his intense expressions matched with his sophisticated wardrobe have left the internet fawning over his villainous good looks.
Also, what a super classy villain Bill Skarsgard was! (The same guy who played the evil clown in the “IT” films.) Perfect as the asshole aristocrat whose presence often gives John Wick-4 the aura of a James Bond film. I hope he gets to play a James Bond villain in the future. pic.twitter.com/IfjRPPvL80

I know John Wick 4’s costume department loves their job dressing up Bill Skarsgard like that. He truly served with those suits. pic.twitter.com/ks1a8PNLJ6

5. A perfectly branched story
In its near 3 hours long storytelling, John Wick 4 not only spends time weaving back to all that made Jonathan Baba Yaga but also gives great importance to side characters.
HOLY SHIT… The Hype is SO real for John Wick Chapter 4!
This is without a doubt one of the best action films I have EVER seen. It’s a CONSTANT rush of badassery and fun to be had. I really loved it.
Cinematography and the side characters RULED! Go see this asap. #johnwick4 pic.twitter.com/2z5Fhrc3g4
