I agree with you but Chapter 4 goes a little too far IMHO. Everyone I saw it with thought the same thing. It's to the point you were bored waiting for the action sequences to end so the movie could get on with the story.

To me the end was a total WTF as well.

Yeah there are several things I take issue with. Didn't want spoilers.

I hope the spinoffs and series do a better job with the world they have created.

I saw it yesterday. It was personally my least favorite, and I say that as someone who loves the Wick movies. They turned a pure action movie with great gunplay into a wannabe superhero drama with bad gunplay. They add so many lines of dialogue to movie full of people who can't act. Donnie Yen a blind assassin? A blind dude who can run up stairs while sword fighting and shooting a gun? A morbidly obese asthmatic who can fight just like John Wick? There are some great scenes. The dragons breath scene is phenomenal. I think the vast majority of people will love it.

Yup, going to the 3:15 show this afternoon at my favorite giant screen theater.

ETA Back from the show.  My favorite actor in this was the Belgian Malinois that was a partner to another assassin.  If you like the cult classic "The Warriors" you'll appreciate the homage to it.

I was going to say that I'd likely wait until John Wick 4 makes it to streaming but if some of you guys are saying it's about as good as JW 3, I won't even bother, LOL.

The original John Wick was really good.  JW 2 was crappy but still entertaining.  JW 3 was borderline unwatchable.

Just finished watching it. There was a pair of 80-90 year old ladies with walkers that showed up to watch it. We figured they were in the wrong theater but they stayed until the end.

I enjoyed it. Really liked the camera angle they used in one of the fight scenes.

Just saw it. Liked it. Probably the second best of the series.

They're not that bad. Sure, they're a bit goofy, but they're action flicks. And fun ones. A bit of cheese and ridiculousness should be
allowed for in any action movies.

We saw it last night, if you loved 2 and 3 you’ll like this one. For everyone else, they have gotten progressively worse with 4 being the worst of the series.

Some of the fight scenes are so long they get boring.

Just got home. As others have said, action sequences went on a little too long. Otherwise, I loved it.
(As to the post credit sequence… I shrugged and said, "Meh, fair play.")

Not if the theater paid me the admission price to see it.
They get worse as they go, the first was good.
I couldn't be bothered to finish the third one and it was free. Borrrrrrrrrrring. Might as well watch someone play a video game.

I’ve liked every movie in the series. I’d say 2 and 4 were my favorites.
The first would be in second place, and 3 would be last.
If he keeps making them, I’ll keep watching.

Watched yesterday - I thought some of the fight scenes dragged on way too long, and the whole "open season on John wick" thing got tiresome.  I would have preferred a continuation of the series where he hunts down each and every member of the high table.

Good news is I had to piss pretty bad, so I went out and drained the dragon, came back and really didn't miss any of the movie, because it was just the next group of 3 bad dudes he was fighting clad in black storm trooper gear.

That was one of my favorite things about the movie. I consider "The Warriors’" to be a damn near perfect B-movie.
The way it was referenced was awesome. That whole segment of the film was "The Warriors."
(I especially enjoyed it in that the two movies were very similar in their take on the "hyper-stylized underworld" motif.)
