...As Hatten mentioned, Ballerina takes place between the events of 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and the newly-released John Wick: Chapter 4.

I had heard this rumoured but I wasn't sure it had been confirmed until now.

I had heard this rumoured but I wasn't sure it had been confirmed until now.

Which makes sense given the end results in Chapter 4

Hopefully there’s no violence.

 

[trojansoilers]

Looks good. They somehow managed to make Ana de Armas even hotter

 

[tarheelhockey]

Hopefully there’s no violence.

Rumor has it, the plot involves 2.5 hours of ballet

[The Crypto Guy]

I'm watching it for the chick.

 

[Primary Assist]

Has it been confirmed if Keanu or Ms. de Armas will be playing the main character of the bear in a little fez hat driving a car?

Anyone see it?

Anyone see it?

Was going to ask the same thing, I haven't had a chance yet and want to know if it lives up to the Wick movies and worth seeing in theaters.

 

[trojansoilers]

Saw it over the weekend...
The action was great, on par with the earlier movies, and Ana de Armas held her own as Eve (like she did in No Time to Die), though it was hard to grasp how she went from training, to a few early contract kills, to taking on an entire town of assassins (that was supposedly a threat to the Ruska Roma) in the duration of the movie.

The movie itself did well enough to expand the John Wick universe, but they really need to solve the John Wick issue in future movies. The movie was good enough, but the cheers started coming in when he showed up again in the 3rd act.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

It scratches the itch for sure. If you enjoyed all the other Wicks you'll still have a good time at the movies here, even if Reeves' anchoring gravitas is missed.

 

[gswift]

Great action scenes, and inventive ways to kill, in line with the rest of the John Wick series...
The flame thrower scene was a great nod to the original Korean movie.
