Ballerina

A very pleasant movie experience. My first thought after seeing this movie. Was very pleased since I rarely put higher marks on my visits to the cinema.

However I think this movie deserves a watch. If you enjoy the Wickverse that Keanu Reeves have been able to establish these past 11 years I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed.

It has a decent backstory of Eve (the backstory is however a bit toothless, which is a common theme in the John Wick franchise on the expense of the action sequences) and what her intentions are aimed towards as a consequence of her past.

Maybe the emotional involvement is suppressed somewhat on the expense of the actions sequences. However they do the John Wick franchise justice with the action which is good enough for me to have been satisfied to feel my money being invested wisely.

Ana de Armas had some shoes to fill going in to this movie and she truly does a great job.

A very pleasant experience!

7/10 - Well done Ana!

John Wick has become one of the most iconic characters within the last decade and Keanu Reeves kept his popularity with this character after the Matrix franchise. Now John Wick has its own universe and we have got a new character Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) in this universe that is searching for revenge. The movie is pure action and from the moment it starts until the last second there is only action. Hence, this movie keeps your adrenaline levels high all the time and you will see a lot of gunfights and martial arts as it is in the John Wick movies. Gabriel Bryne's performance is extraordinary and the locations in this movie look absolutely gorgeous. For that reason, I recommend everyone to watch this movie. I will start the TV show of the John Wick universe right after this great movie!

It's Wickniverse, you're gonna watch it regardless. Just grab a popcorn and suspend your disbelief and enjoy another round of John Wick

If we start with plotholes, inconsistency and logical mindboggleness we'd ended up ruining all the fun.

That's all

But if you need to know I think it's meh. Could have been done better. I get it it's Wickniverse, but not a scratch, not a bruise on Eve, she's what? 5 feet something skinny balerina body? No way she could handle a full blown kick and hits and barely broke a bone. Even her makeup... Not even a single dirt on her pretty face. Not to mention she's mowing everyone down as if she's Jane Wick... I get it she's highly trained by she make those goons looks like cardboard target in some training yard. By the 3rd quarter I'm getting bored. I just think the action is too much and entering Fast Furious level of absurdity, even for Wickniverse.

But then again... We'll be watching it. It's just a solid 7 leave your brain out and enjoy Ana.. i mean... Eve... I mean... Whatever.

BALLERINA is a visual exhibition to feel the ACTION. Vibrant, frenetic, intense & vengeful, and I'm not just referring to the film, but also to Ana de Armas. An actress capable of anything with an electric aura that will paralyse you into not moving from your seat.

Ana de armas played the role so well. Keanu Reeves as always....his presence in the film is so strong.

OVERALL: It really fits the description "from the world of john wick". With new face de Armas, the John Wick franchise is revitalised with stunning action that feels fresh, not formulaic. Those missing some of that blistering, chaotic John Wick action will definitely find the movie a worthy addition to the franchise.

Ballerina is shockingly really good. I did expect it to be decent, but it definitely went past my expectations. Originally, the thing I was most excited about before seeing this was to see John Wick again, but it turns out that even if he weren't in the film, the movie still would've ended up being as good as it is. The scenes with John Wick were amazing, but every scene that didn't include him was equally as good. I liked Eve's character more than I expected to, and even though he wasn't in the movie that much, I did enjoy the scenes with Norman Reedus as Daniel Pine. The amount of action sequences in this movie is insane, mostly every second of this movie, we get more and more action without being able to take a breather. This might just be the most action-packed movie of the franchise yet, right next to John Wick: Chapter 4. Overall, Ballerina is exactly everything you could ever want from a John Wick spinoff. I still prefer the original four John Wick movies, but this is definitely a worthy entry to the franchise!
