John Wick 4 reviews hail 'one of the greatest action movies ever made’

John Wick: Chapter 4 reviews are hailing the latest instalment as ‘one of the greatest action movies ever made’.

Despite not being released in cinemas at the time of writing, John Wick: Chapter 4 already looks like it's living up to expectations and then some. That’s at least according to critics that were granted access to early screenings.

The new John Wick movie was supposed to release on 21 May 2021. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing global mayhem, the fourth instalment of the popular high-octane action franchise starring Keanu Reeves was consequently delayed.

Those awaiting its official cinema release at the end of this month will be pleased to know that it seems like John Wick: Chapter 4 is more than worth the wait. As reported by our friends at LADBible,

“John Wick 4 is action cinema at its finest. This breathtaking, bloody and ballistic ballet delivers a bone-crunching crescendo to one of the greatest action franchises of all time, said journalist Simon Thompson. “Pure power, John Wick 4 is as exhilarating as it is exhausting. Reeves' Wick transcends icon status.”

“I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4's nearly three-hour runtime, but the movie earns it,” expressed Eric Eisenberg of CineBlend. “It's epic with smart pacing that never lets the action feel exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of series newcomers, but Donnie Yen is the MVP.”

“John Wick: Chapter 4 pushes the envelope in the action genre as we know it. The cast is STACKED and the fight scenes are dynamic!” exclaimed Felicia of DiscussingFilm. “After 4 movies, you’d think there’d be some fatigue. This is not the case, you’ll just have to see it for yourself.”

John Wick: Chapter 4 will be released in cinemas on 24 March 2024.
