    No no no....

    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.

    Dumb. But the action is insane!

    Ballerina checks every box of a John Wick film! It just gives you what you want from these movies - just the coolest stuff every 5 minutes, even after I assumed the John Wick movies left everything on the table with regards to inventive action scenes. It's impressive how John Wick writers keep finding new ways to do combat scenes. Ana de Armas kicks ass in a variety of violent and creative action sequences - grenades, flame-throwers, you name it! All movies should write action like this! Instead of relying on the same bang-bang-bang routine, the filmmakers constantly search for fresh angles - be it through location, weaponry, or method. That's a big reason why John Wick continues to offer the best gunplay in Hollywood.

    So yes, Ballerina absolutely delivers on the action, and I had a blast with the fight scenes. But, like most of the Wick films, the story falls short. The revenge-driven plot is serviceable but basic, with flat characters who lack compelling motivations, and a villain who ultimately disappoints. It's the action - not the narrative - that keeps the film alive.

    At a certain point, I had to stop watching it critically. Because it's so dumb, and yet so entertaining. I fully admit this is not an ideal situation, and normally I'd be very against this. On many occasions, after giving a negative review to something, someone will say to me, "Oh, just turn your brain off and enjoy it." To that, my response is always, "Well, if it was actually good, I shouldn't have to." Ballerina, however, is somehow both not good and also incredibly good at the same time. It's a mostly brainless, cold, cookie-cutter revenge movie that has so much unfathomable yet enjoyable action in it that the two are completely at odds. How can a film this hollow have action this entertaining? Why is such care devoted to these sequences when the story and emotion are so surface-level? It's bizarre and a little confusing. And yet, without realizing it, I did exactly what I always say not to do - I shut my brain off and had fun. I'm not surprised. I've had to do the same with the other Wick films, and Ballerina fits right in. And, like those films, I still came out leaning positive in the end.

    Ana de Armas is a force of nature here, bringing intense physicality and a surprising vulnerability to this scrappy revenge tale. She ensures her character feels just as iconic as John Wick himself. Keanu Reeves has a much larger role than expected, but I appreciated that Wick never fully overtook the film - even if his presence does feel a bit like fan service. That said, I really missed Dan Laustsen's luminous cinematography from the earlier films. The visual identity takes a hit here. Still, the fact that Ballerina works as well as it does is a testament to the foundation that Chad Stahelski and Reeves have built and continue to shape. But when the bar is set this high, it's hard not to notice that this doesn't quite measure up. Even so, this is still everything you could want from a summer blockbuster. It's tons of fun and packed with killer set pieces.

    Ballerina Review!

    🏆86%

    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 Meets John Wick

    Plot? What Plot?

    Ballerina is an average movie with exciting action sequences but weighed down with an underwhelming story and tired tropes.

    The first 20 minutes are a chore with the standard origin story you've seen before but once the action begins, it doesn't let up and 5 minutes don't past between fight scenes. It's clear to see where the reshoots come in as they appear copied and pasted in.

    Ana De Armas is the saving grace of the movie and gives a great performance while Keanu has a fun cameo with just the right amount of screen time. It's a shame to say that Gabriel Byrne is wasted as the villian and doesn't do much with the time provided.

    The world of John Wick is a brilliant concept and continues to enthrall. I just wish there was more here to expand the lore and put a bit of meat on it. A decent enough time though, just not as great as i expected.

    It's Wickniverse... You're gonna watch it regardless

    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.
