John Wick Chapter 4 (2023)

 


John Wick Chapter 4 is the latest installment in the assassin, who no one can seem to kill, John Wick.

Director of all the John Wick movies, Chad Stahelski, is currently Hollywood's hottest action director. He has so many movies and tv shows now in production or pre-production. I'm most excited about the remake or rebooting of Highlander and the adaptation of Rainbow Six. He has proven himself a box office draw and this film is no exception.

The writer of the last John Wick, Parabellum, Shay Hatten takes the franchise to satisfyingly new places that seem to fit within the universe. I enjoyed Day Shift and Army of the Dead. Speaking of which, he has a sequel coming out soon for Netflix called Planet of the Dead. So look forward to that.

Keanu Reeves reprises his role for Chapter 4. He seems just as fit as in the first. I look forward to BRZRKR for which Reeves is the main character in the comic. It just concluded and is going to be an interesting adaptation. It's not too late to pick up your copies of the comic before they shoot up in price too. 

As far as which one is the best in the series, number one will always be the best and it's probably too hard to compare the rest of them since they're all so interesting to watch. This one takes some odd choices that pay off but were risky. I'd still highly recommend this film. Result: A-

Superman (2025)

S uperman (2025) brings the Man of Steel back to the big screen in a bold, colorful new start for the DC Universe. Directed by James Gunn , known for Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad , this might be his second-best film. It finds the right balance between hope, humor, and action without falling into the over-jokey MCU-esque trap. Gunn’s love for the character shines through, and the world feels lived-in and full of potential. David Corenswet , previously seen in Pearl and Hollywood , steps into the cape and owns it. He’s sincere, powerful, and manages to give Superman the warmth that has been missing in recent versions. It’s a classic take that still feels fresh. Nicholas Hoult , known for The Menu and Mad Max: Fury Road , is the best Lex Luthor we’ve had. He plays the character with intelligence and menace, but never turns him into a cartoon. He’s unpredictable in the right way and commands every scene he’s in. Skyler Gisondo , best known for The Righteous Gemsto...

M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

M3GAN 2.0 continues the story of the world’s most dangerously sassy AI doll, picking up after the first film's events with a new host, new threats, and a few more upgrades. Directed by Gerard Johnstone , returning from the original M3GAN , the film keeps the same sleek look and dark humor, but the energy isn’t quite the same. The scares are toned down, the satire feels more obvious, and the plot plays it safer this time. It’s still well paced and visually sharp, just not as punchy or fresh as before. Violet McGraw , reprising her role from the first film, shows a bit more range this time. She handles the trauma beats well and sells the emotional moments, even when the script leans a bit cheesy. She’s growing as an actress, and it shows. Allison Williams , best known for Get Out and Girls , returns and feels more like a supporting character this time. She’s fine, just not given much to do besides react to the new version of M3GAN and deliver exposition. Still, she’s a steady pr...

Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2019)

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is the next chapter in the Dragon Ball franchise, introducing (again) a character into the canon with Broly. Directed by Tatsuya Nagamine, the same man who brought anime fans One Piece Film Z, but other than that he hasn't done much in terms of movies. The real praise once again goes to the legend himself Akira Toriyama , who extends his universe even further and takes the series into a new leg. Anyone who has invested themselves in his universe will be glad about this addition. One of the promising new characters is Cheelai. She's a white-haired humanoid with green skin and small build. She's not really a fighter but she does seem to be the Chichi to Broly's Goku or Bulma to Broly's Vegeta whatever floats your boat.  There is a bit of inconsistency with certain aspects of the film but only huge Dragon Ball fans will even notice. I imagine this film is going to be confusing for anyone who isn't already a big fan. ...
