While March Madness is associated with the NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments, this year it could also serve as an appropriate descriptor of the onslaught of major films coming out throughout the month. Creed III and Scream VI have already debuted in theaters and Shazam: Fury of the Gods and John Wick: Chapter 4 are set to roll out over the next two weeks. While the review embargo for the former hasn’t lifted yet, reviews for the latter started to roll in after 8:00 PM PST on March 13th and it looks like great news for fans of the franchise.
The early reviews for John Wick: Chapter 4 seem to indicate it’s yet another solid installment in the ongoing saga of the Baba Yaga with 88% of the 26 reviews (23/26) giving the film a “fresh” bump. Though it’s still very early and that number could swing dramatically one way or the other, the film has been widely praised on social media as well. As it stands now, the 88% “fresh” rating puts it on par with the other Wick films.
- John Wick (2014) 86%
- John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) 89%
- John Wick: Chapter 3–Parabellum (2019) 89%
It sounds as though fans of the franchise will find exactly what they’re looking for in the 3-hour-long sequel: intense action, a high body count and all the Keanu Reeves they could ever want.
John Wick: Chapter 4 opens in theaters on March 24th.
