Steve Weintraub
The American journalist said that fans “are not prepared” for how incredible it is John Wick 4.
#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

The critic said that the film surpasses the previous three in all aspects, being one of the best action films ever made.
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

“One of the best action movies of all time”, said the critic, who claimed that his jaw dropped to the floor watching the feature.
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

The critic points out that, although the work is about three hours long, every minute is justified and worthwhile within the narrative.
#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

Eric Eisenberg
The professional said that the film is “epic” and knows how to use his screen time well, never letting the action get exhausting.
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

The critic revealed that John Wick 4 it was exactly what he expected, using the words ‘fucking’ and ‘incredible’ to refer to the work.
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— Rama’s Screen (@RamasScreen) March 6, 2023

The viewer explained that the film feels like a ‘video game come to life’, with fantastic fight scenes. She also highlighted the performance of Donnie Yen.
#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
