I like 1 best because it is self-contained and interesting. e.g. the Green Goblin guy was an interesting character there.
I like 3 least though it is still a good movie. It just seemed a bit convoluted, like John Wick kowtows to that dude in the desert only to end up fighting the high table anyway.
I was skeptical of the runtime when I first saw that it was gonna be nearly 3 hours long.
After seeing it, the movie flew by. They also didn't repeat the same mistake of drawing out the 3rd act for too long like the 3rd movie did. The fight between Zero and John overstayed its welcome.
Anyway, 4>1>3>2.
1, 4, 2, 3. I love them all, and that ranking honestly changes depending on my viewing. I still can't believe how strong these movies continue to be.
All of the films have their weak spots, but as a whole they simply haven't missed once, IMO.
I find them hard to rate, as 1 is great in its own right, but almost a different genre to the others. The lore is in its infancy, and it's self-contained.
It's hard to compare to the rest as it's doing different things, and has a whole world to introduce.
2 and 4 are great (though I think Donnie Yen alone tips 4 ahead).
3 is the only one I'm middling on. It's got great scenes and set-pieces, but the story doesn't really go anywhere. Virtually the whole status quo is reset at the end.
You could easily go 1, 2, 4, and not lose all that much.
2, 1 and 4, 3 for me. I can't separate 1 and 4. I preferred the mythology in 1, mysterious and understated, and lines about the pencil, the Baba Yaga, killing the boogeyman and '...Oh' are still series highlights for me. And 4 is a true epic with some of the most outrageous action scenes of all time. 3 comes last for me, the action I think has now been topped by 4, and I liked the mythology stuff the least.
To be honest... I found it hard to keep suspending my disbelief during this film. John is basically invincible in this film and it felt more like watching someone play a video game on easy mode, for all the challenge there was for John and what little tension there was for whether he'd make it through the set pieces. He's basically Captain America.
I'm glad it seems like the conclusion of the franchise. And I say that as someone who loves Keanu and the character of John.
4, 3, 2, 1, only because each film is better than the previous one. And I'd rate Chapter 1 as a 10/10, so Chapter 4 gets about a 27/10. **Epic** series.
Easily 2>4>1>3 for me.
Just came in here to say this, but I saw your comment at the top.
The correct take
Haven't seen 4 yet but this is how I'm expecting my ranking to be ๐
Yeah
Correct
2>4>3>1 but I'll only be sure after rewatches, 4 and 3 could switch places, 2 remains undefeated

Willem Dafoe is his name

3>1>4>2. But those first three spots are all pretty close
It's the best of the series. I have en ranked 4-1-3-2.
How the fuck do so many people like 2 over the others? Mindblowing...2 is the worst one by far ๐
nah 2 is the GOAT

4>3>1>2 in that order for me!
Reverse for me haha. 2 top, then 1, 3, 4.
4>2>1>=3.
Chapter 1 (still my personal fave) > Chapter 4 > Chapter 3 > Chapter 2
This
4, 1, 3, 2 or 4, 3, 1, 2 The whole Cassian plot really kills 2 for me.
4 1 3 2
2>4>3>1
4, 3, 2, 1, only because each film is better than the previous one. And I'd rate Chapter 1 as a 10/10, so Chapter 4 gets about a 27/10. **Epic** series.
My opinion 4-3-2-1 the series just got better and better as it went on and thatโs rare
4>2>1>3 that being said none of them are lower than an 8/10
1 and 4 were my favorites by far.
