    The first one was the only one worth watching. Story about a man getting vengeance for his dog was great. All the nonsense about some secret hitman underworld didn’t make any sense

    They’re rereleasing movies in theaters because they decided to stop making movies in order to break strikes. As a result, a job that consistently paid $100,000 over 10 years has made me $20,000 in the past two years.

    Don’t go see this unless you are a scab who doesn’t care about the hardworking people that take pride in working in the film industry.

    Pirate the fuck out of this movie.

    Yeah, I realised the first film came out 10 years ago recently. I can’t believe it and I can feel myself aging in my bones

    They’re had 4 movies on 10 years?! I thought this came out longer than that. Lol

    I’ve only seen Chapter 3 and 4 in theaters. Definitely want to see this.

      The first one is a very different movie. It feels grounded in a way that the sequels move further away from with each entry.

      That being said, they’re all fantastic.

        1 was amazing, 2 was mostly fine (the arming up scene was perfect), but 3 went off the rails. 4 brought it back mostly.

        Maybe when the first was written, sequels weren’t even considered yet?

        Tickets are already available. I bought mine today. Check your theater(s).

    I got so bored watching the first movie that I turned it off after like 40 min. The emotional core of the movie is so simplistic (they literally kill his puppy? Are you joking?) and the superficial plot elements with the coins and all the assassins and stuff is so overly complicated… I didn’t think the action scenes were very engaging either. I would much rather watch The Bourne Identity.
