Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Strand Magazine
Except the idiots aren’t buying tickets like they used to, are they...
I blame the institutional investors who are happy to keep signing off on allowing Hollyweird to run itself into the ground.
They Mary Sue’d John Wick.
Ditto
Since you’ve seen them all, what’s the total body count?
Better than the return of Jason in sequel #14.
How about “The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon”?
Yes, she is pretty.
However, it is just a silly old story line plot that has been done many times prior.
“La Femme Nikita” (1980) was maybe the original movie in French. Where they took a female drug addict and instead of sending her to prison they made her into an assassin. This was remade in a US version with Bridget Fonda(Peter’s daughter) as the lead but they changed the name to something else. Then again and again. Even a series.
It is always amusing when some 110 pound female beats the crap out of a 225 pound 6’ 3” male. Yes, i does occasionally happen. There was an incident not too long ago in Italy where a woman trained in Martial Arts beat the crap out of some guy. It just happens all the time in the movies.
From IMDB:
John Wick's total body count across all four movies is approximately 439, with 77 kills in the first film, 128 in the second, 94 in the third, and around 140 in the fourth.
(Explosions with quick cut-aways make exact counting impossible. - Mikel)
Sounds realistic.
Are the idiots buying tickets?
That stupid “Snow White” remake apparently bombed, but the endless flood of comic book movies seems to attract viewers.
Around 440 over four films.
Chapter 4 - He had around 140 by himself.
The Producers are hoping to start a new franchise by focusing on the history of the New York City gangster hotel - The Continental. The first hotel TV mini-series is already out, but not on Basic Cable.
A female John Wick movie was just released last week. Apparently, it has received some good reviews, but the Box Office is struggling and might not get to Break Even.
“They Mary Sue’d John Wick.”
At least they didn’t “Annie” him with a black woman....🥸
Yes she's lovely! I got kinda bored through one of the Keanu starring ones...maybe this one will be better and more female friendly.
