    I thought the motivation in ballerina wasn’t as sharp/ relatable as in the first JW. The other 3 were just him getting into a new situation, struggling through it only to set up a new situation. We get it, ‘you can’t get out, John’, but it just became repetitive and formulaic after the first film. Now I just watch them for the choreographed fight sequences and how he handles the hardware.

      I didn’t make it past the first “fight scene”, it was such shite, NGL.

      • No logic at all in the merc security, much less the assault forces;
      • Scooby-Do villain rationale in the girl’s “hiding” place (missing the painting w/ eyes cut out, though);
      • no-effort choreography just straight-up shellacked in post to try (and fail) to make up for the slathered-on WTF every few seconds;
      • grade school quality “bad guy”; etc.

      And, that’s less than 10 mins in! 🤦🏼‍♂️

      FWIW, the earlier flick by the same name isn’t much better, but it is an improvement across the entire board. 🤷🏼‍♂️
