Ballerina

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 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!

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.

If you love what the John Wick series has become then you'll love this movie, it's full of action and great fight scenes. However I can't get over how repetitive it is, it's just on and on with the enemies and to me that gets boring pretty quick.

Also, there is almost zero depth to the movie, thematically, emotionally, metaphorically, you name it. Even the main character barely has any story or depth, let alone any other character. It's just one big revenge story and that again ties into the predictability aspect, after about 25 minutes most people should be able to guess what happens the rest of the way.

It's a good theater flick, it's entertaining, but it's not worthy of a high rating due to its tunnel vision plot and lackluster depth.

I love the John Wick series...the first two were absolutely great, the third was good en the fourth was a bit messy. But I love the storyline.

Then there was Ballerina... When I saw the preview wasnt convinced this would be good, but I wanted to give it a chance. The story, eventhough so simple written, could have been better. Then it all went like a jet... too fast to easy and not really believable. Also not really to feel in line with the character, that she's angry of course, to be top of her class...ah well could be. But then it all goes down the drain. A lot of fights and she manages to "slap" them all without having a scratch.

Someone else said it here in the reviews as well. John Wick had a believable story you saw him suffer. You understood. But now it's all so unbelievably in your face and you don't even have the time to feel her story. And everything she does is really not to believe.

They could've made a great story to build upon, but they really didn't think this through and just made a mess unfortunately.

But if you love a lot kicking and shooting with no real dialogue..pls do watch.
