Oh man... I want to see it.
Wasn’t it just a year or so ago that you said you had not even watched any of these films and really had not interest ??Going to Imax tonight super excited this just might be our TGM and TB of 2023 maybe even both combined
I might have to change my Avatar to Year of the Wo
KR is almost 60!
I am ashamed to admit that I finally watched 1-2-3 last freaking weekend can you believe it!Wasn’t it just a year or so ago that you said you had not even watched any of these films and really had not interest ??
I’m so glad you came around you gave them a shot!
These are easily the best action films coming out to theaters now.
Well welcome to The Continental JyeI am ashamed to admit that I finally watched 1-2-3 last freaking weekend can you believe it!
I really enjoyed them especially 3 that was absolutely my favorite!
3 looked SICK on my OLED!
Actually let me clarify.Well welcome to the Continental Jye
I thought you had avoided these. It stuck with me cause I thought they seemed like your kind of films.
3 might be my fav also. More straight up classic martial arts in it. Did not hurt that some of the Raid films alumni’s were in it also
Yeah the 4k of 3 is amazing
Read my other post above. Seems like our viewing experience of the JW films was similarActually let me clarify.
I did watch 1 on Blu-ray maybe a year after it came out in theaters and while I thought it was good I wasn’t blown away by it either.
Fast forward to last weekend and I finally watched all 3 back to back I couldn’t stop and I was floored.
So for those that have seen it; how does it compare to the original?
I adore the first, think the second is solid and the third is poor.
3 and 4 are my favorites with the last 30 minutes of 4 probably being my favorite sequence of the series.So for those that have seen it; how does it compare to the original?

It's good. But 2 will ALWAYS be my favourite from the franchise.So for those that have seen it; how does it compare to the original?

I saw it last night, and I still prefer one, then two, then a gap to four, and then three.So for those that have seen it; how does it compare to the original?

OMG the fights.
Where to even begin there is a lot to unpack.
Definitely the best of the 4 but with some caveats though.
Obviously the main complaint everyone has with 4 is that JW is now indestructible and to that I say this.
You have to walk into these movies especially this one which out of the 4 comes the closest to spelling out that the high table is not just a Mafia they are literally the world governments CIA illuminati type stuff and yes JW is a government created Winter Soldier / Cap super soldier with even Ghost in the Shell type narrative.
There I solved that complaint for you lol
Wait you say you need evidence from the movies to back up my claim well look no further than the police and FBI never ever getting involved and the society at large even ignoring the public fighting because they know there’s nothing they can do about it they treat it like the IRS it’s just there.
Anyways first let me say that the gun battle audio and visuals in HEAT has finally been outdone.
This movie officially has the best cinematic gun battle and officially is the best use of low bass in cinema history.
There are simply no words to properly describe how the bass and gunshots sounded in this movie.
The punch sounds when the movie opens and the techno bass at the German club will put a huge smile on your face.
Yes the movie was a great marriage of Bond and Spaghetti western along with some Superhero and Videogame influences.
Osaka, German techno club and overhead house battle were my favorite parts mind blowing enjoyed it way more than the France circle part honestly.
Let me bring up those caveats shall I.
For starters I was not a fan of the tracker guy. They should’ve just cut him out of the entire movie. It would’ve save some time he was pointless and useless not even cool looking.
Because we’ve never met Donnie’s character before in the series I could not buy into the relationship and history Donnie said they had it rang hollow to me.
Donnie was good but I think slightly over hyped. My favorite role of his remains HERO.
I rather did not enjoy ugly grey France. It was not visually striking as the neon lights from part 3.
Even the German club needed more color it was too far grayscale although the water part was insanely cool looking.
See it immediately in the best screen possible, the sounds will blow you away best ever
Final Thoughts:
Best action movie ever made!
There I said it.
That Osake scene OMG.
This movie needs to win an Oscar for something, i’m not kidding.
