Primeras reacciones al estreno de 'John Wick 4'. Gloriosa, épica, sangrienta

por jescri 07 de marzo de 2023

Tras una larga espera, 'John Wick 4' llegará a los cines el 24 de marzo de 2023. Antes algunos críticos y fans han tenido la oportunidad de ver las primeras proyecciones de la película, expresando después sus primeras impresiones en las redes sociales.

Desde webs como Collider nos alertan de que "no estamos preparados para lo que vamos a ver", y describen la película como "un festival de asesinatos sangrientos lleno de acción". Otras críticas hablan de una película gloriosa, pura adrenalina y lo mejor de la serie.

Por otro lado, si bien su tiempo de ejecución de casi 3 horas es ciertamente intimidante, muchos dicen que el thriller de acción gana a cada minuto. La cuarta película de la franquicia tampoco decepciona en términos de acción y son muchos los críticos que destacan las increíbles secuencias de lucha. También abundan los elogios hacia el elenco liderado por Keanu Reeves.

Dirigida por Chad Stahelski, en esta ocasión John Wick (Reeves) descubre un camino para derrotar a la Alta Mesa. Pero para poder ganar su libertad, Wick deberá enfrentarse a un nuevo rival con poderosas alianzas en todo el mundo, capaz de convertir a viejos amigos en enemigos. Lawrence Fishburne, Lance Reddick e Ian McShane repiten en un reparto que también incluye a Scott Adkins, Donnie Yen, Clancy Brown y Marko Zaror.

Respecto al futuro de la franquicia, 'John Wick 4' es solo uno de los muchos proyectos ambientados en este universo lleno de acción. Próximamente también tendremos 'Ballerina', spin-off protagonizado por Ana de Armas en el que Reeves y McShane interpretarán personajes secundarios. Además, este mismo año llegará la serie limitada 'The Continental', ambientada en el mismo universo.

#JohnWickChapter4 is f*cking awesome. Literally had to pick my jaw off the ground from some of the insane and inventive set pieces.

You are not prepared for what Keanu does with the dragon's breath shotgun.

Also @DonnieYenCT brought his A game.

Can't wait to see it again. pic.twitter.com/gf6sm5Ijal

#JohnWick4 is an action-packed, bloody, kill-fest, and that's what makes it good! I normally don’t love so much action in my movies but Stahelski makes every frame count. Yes, it’s ridiculous. Yes, it’s video game logic. Yes, it’s extra as hell. Yes, I will be watching again! pic.twitter.com/D56ODsTTcq

One of the greatest action movies ever made, #JohnWick4 tops all 3 of its predecessors in storytelling, scope & stakes, countless astonishing set pieces, hard to fathom it’s all contained within one film, Bill Skarsgård slays, a hellaciously thrilling franchise finish (?) 9.5/10 pic.twitter.com/2jDwXle21J

John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the finest action movies ever. My jaw hit the floor at least six times. One section involving a Dragon's Breath shotgun is just action-movie goodness at its best. Donnie Yen steals the show. Easily the best in the series #JohnWick4 #JohnWickChapter4 pic.twitter.com/VBsZxC6bhu

#JohnWick4's three-hour runtime makes so much sense when you're going *that* hard. The third act alone... just glorious. pic.twitter.com/TDCs74aGV7

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 was as badass & as awesome as I hoped it would be.
I didn't mind the lengthy runtime cause the Arc de Triomphe relentless action alone was worth it.
And the gun-fu of Keanu Reeves VS. Donnie Yen lived up to the hype.#JohnWick4 #JW4 #KeanuReeves #DonnieYen pic.twitter.com/v6E7wAB70Q

I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4's nearly three hour runtime, but the movie earns it. It's an 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. #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/xyMbLXmXUM

#JohnWick4 is the most EPIC installment in the franchise! While it is a bit long and suffers from some pacing issues and unnecessary story points, the movie is never boring. Just when things grow stale Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves find a way to suck you back in @JohnWickMovie

#JohnWick4 is a bloody good time. Great action and fight sequences. Donnie Yen is an INCREDIBLE addition to the franchise. He's a highlight of the film. Lots of surprises in this one that's going to deliver a divisive ending. See this one in IMAX. pic.twitter.com/MMCW54KydQ

#JohnWick4 continues with the visceral and brutal action. We finally get the conclusion to the story, and the film brings the action to a higher level with armored ninja, fiery weapons, epic one-shot scenes, and more. Donnie Yen is definitely icing on the cake. pic.twitter.com/7N0utxj772

#JohnWick4 absolutely rocks, start to finish. Keanu Reeves finds new ways to impress with stunning action and surrounds himself by incredible franchise newcomers.

Chapters 1-3 world-built and Chapter 4 could run with all of it.

An epic big screen blast. CINEMA! pic.twitter.com/KUo69tIQys
