Father’s Day Dad and I went and saw that Ballerina John Wick movie. And being that this is the first movie I have seen since Top Gun Maverick, I feel highly certified in doing a review. I had only seen the original John Wick movie like once, but I was still more confused than I expected to be, plot-wise. The action was so highly stylized and very cool looking, but so unrealistically so. Not sure if it’s due to the meta skillset progression through the past 6 or whatever movies, but I was thinking ok so is this like a comic book world or, or what. I’m not a military tactics specialist but I’m pretty sure the best in the world special ops aren’t able to do any of this shit. Oh and first off maybe I should led with that I had no idea this was going to be about a chick. I figured Ballerina was either some figure of speech or maybe a nice car or John Wick in a tutu
The setup is basically a Kill Bill re-skin. Girl becomes super assassin yadda yadda. I just didn’t expect John Wick to almost not be in the damn thing. When he does come in, in the very end, his presence is magnetic. Character has some kind of a tired slouch at this point in the timeline but his presence commands the screen, and he steals every moment of the 32 seconds of screen time they gave him. Damn he wasn’t nearly that cool in the first one
But this chick is throwing knives and axes perfectly from any direction into people’s faces, and blowing people up with grenades while perfectly blocking it with an upturned table I’m like come on. But credit to the actress, her fight scenes don’t look stupid. Like she can still do some unrealistic crazy shit, but they make it seem like it’s because she’s such a super assassin, and she mostly uses weapons unless karate fighting little Japanese men in a dance club which is so action movie cheese I loved it. It’s not as bad as other movies and shows that have these petite women kicking dude’s who are twice their size’s assess in a fist fight or some dumb shit
Overall I give it like a C+, but that’s because I had no idea WTF was going on with the story because I stupid
Then after went to Oreganos and got their meat lovers pizza and omg sex party in my mouth and all of the pizza was invited. That pizza was so fucking good I was considering completely shifting my life plan and going with yknow what I’m going to eat this all day every day like those 600lb life people and die in 3 years and it’ll be worth it. I don’t normally eat pizza like, ever
