Yeah, I know most wont agree with me here but I guess that's why we all have opinions right? CWJW felt cheap, not in the sense that it didn't feel like the world of John Wick but I felt the fight scenes weren't brutal or fun enough to compare them to the original. They felt like TV stunt men trying to do their best. While it wasn't bad by any means, it just didn't feel the same or expanded upon. Nothing new and nothing we haven't seen before. The writing was decent, and the overall plot is a good one. I do love myself an origin story. However, the acting, cinematography, some set designs and sequences felt...small. It looked like a set, or it looked like something out of a CW show and I hate that. The car chase scene, what the heck was that? It almost felt like they ran out of money three quarters through the episode and said well here you go. The show feels a lot like The Boys on amazon, pretty good but relies too much on splatter and shock value rather than core writing, visuals and character building.
