    Watching John Wick for the first time and I'm wondering what other see in that film to say it's great. It's pure gun porn.

      @adiwan Compared to a lot of recent action films, you can actually see the choreography, as opposed to just trusting that Matt Damon is even swinging towards that stunt double while the camera operator has a grand mal seizure... And he's avenging a puppy, I guess?

        @scribus Yeah. It's filmed somewhat competently and people want to see a puppy killer die. The worst "action" scene I've ever watched was the ending of The Hunger Games in cinema with my friends.

          @adiwan The only thing I remember about Hunger Games was being cranky that the main character is in no way a protagonist, then feeling vindicated when I read something about the conclusion that said she WAS a puppet of a larger scheme, all along

            @scribus As all teenagers are. Puppets of their parent overlords.

          @adiwan You know what, I think Keanu doing much of his own stunts is part of the appeal, too
