I was amazed by the first film. I loved its highly stylized atmosphere, use of neon colors and lighting cues, the grimness of the fight choreography, Reeves being intimidating and stoic in a largely silent role in the first film, men fighting each other in suits, the rawness that Reeves pulled out of himself during his monologue scene in the finale of the first one about the significance of his late wife and the puppy, the tight cinematography that largely holds still on fight sequences, the organized underworld system of assassins and their neutral meeting ground of an elite hotel, the fact that all of this bloody revenge was sparked by the death of a puppy, the dark humor sprinkled in here and there, and just how intricate the whole John Wick universe gets. I just adore this series so much and had so much fun watching the last one this year.
