Do you even know what went into the scenes in John Wick movies?? Keanu literally trained in close quarters shooting and fighting. Those were REAL actions he was performing and real reloads etc. Now, not EVERY shot can be a headshot I agree. But that just adds to how cool the movies are.

The Wick movies, technically, are great. That's why I said they are fine for what they are. The actual movie/plot isn't very good IMO, or is at least overly ridiculous way past the point of absurdity. They aren't for me, but I get why people like them. And the technical aspects of how they filmed it are impressive for sure.

I liken it more to the fact that for me, the Wick movies are just okay movies with some cool in them.

I can certainly see the OP's take. John Wick is practically his own genre; it's fun to watch, but it's really just tons of killshots all over the place. In the later movies, it gets more and more forced. His 1-on-1 scenes are still great, but there are times vs groups where some of the opponents are clearly waiting for him to finish with the first guy, before they engage and get killed... hell, just shoot him from 25 ft instead of running at him.

Cool stunts, but there's more to a movie than just that.
