    John Wick: Chapter 4

    ★★★½

    The John Wick franchise continues to be the best in the game at action set pieces, both with excellent production design and choreography. I also love the costuming, highlighted in Chapter 4 by Bill Skarsgard's outfits. Unfortunately, this movie was pretty bloated, which was well-encapsulated by a scene where John Wick spends ten minutes fighting bad guys while ascending some stairs, gets pushed all the way down to the bottom, and spends another ten minutes reascending them, still while fighting bad guys.

    I always prefer biopics to focus on a narrow window of life, and this one worked really well for that. It's excellently directed, especially in conjuring a sense of melancholy. I thought Portman was good but not great.

    Really really enjoyed watching this, but the first two thirds of the movie were much better than the last. Nonetheless, image-making was top-notch!

    So melodramatic that I could never tell if this film was honoring musicals or making fun of them. The songs were often catchy but even more often farcical. On paper the story might read as creative and powerful but on screen it largely came across as silly. All that said, it was artistically impressive enough to capture my attention for a couple hours.
