I’m not sure if it was ever in doubt, but thankfully the first reviews are in and they’re all almost universally hailing it as one of the greatest action movies ever made and by far and away the best movie in the series so far. Here’s what a few esteemed movie critics had to say about it on social media:

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 is a stunning feat of action filmmaking. The ambitious stunts, cinematography, & sound have never been better. Keanu Reeves continues to push his body to the limit while Donnie Yen & Hiroyuki Sanada add real gravitas to the most epic film of the franchise yet pic.twitter.com/mSIOXWMWpR

I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4’s nearly three hour runtime, but the movie earns it. It’s an epic with smart pacing that never lets the action feel exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of series newcomers, but Donnie Yen is the MVP. #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/xyMbLXmXUM

I was blown away by many of the action sequences in #JohnWickChapter4. This is definitely the biggest & most badass JOHN WICK movie yet w/ a runtime near 3 hours & an ending everyone will be talking about. No one does action like this – it’s on another level. Part 4 simply rules. pic.twitter.com/OWTkO3nuOt

I watched #JohnWick4 in IMAX and I highly recommend you do the same!! The body count is more than the previous three installments combined. Keanu Reeves, as John Wick, once again does not hold back and is a force to be reckoned with. This film takes you around the world and… https://t.co/ZxJtjA1wT7 pic.twitter.com/hX0biejjY1

#JohnWick4 is action cinema at its finest. This breathtaking, bloody and ballistic ballet delivers a bone-crunching crescendo to one of the greatest action franchises of all time. Pure power, #JohnWick4 is as exhilarating as it is exhausting. Reeves’ Wick transcends icon status. pic.twitter.com/1tn6syfz6E

John Wick: Chapter 4 pushes the envelope in the action genre as we know it. The cast is STACKED and the fight scenes are dynamic! After 4 movies, you’d think there’d be some fatigue. This is not the case, you’ll just have to see it for yourself. #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/6LR6TxBkmT

John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the finest action movies ever. My jaw hit the floor at least six times. One section involving a Dragon’s Breath shotgun is just action-movie goodness at its best. Donnie Yen steals the show. Easily the best in the series #JohnWick4 #JohnWickChapter4 pic.twitter.com/VBsZxC6bhu

Chad Stahelski brings it to the next level with #JohnWick4! Mind blowing action sequences and the fantastic world building continues! Keanu kills it, but Donnie Yen is a scene stealer! pic.twitter.com/C93mDayHyY

#JohnWickChapter4 is an intense throughout the entire film. Caine, (Donnie Yen) steals every scene he’s in and, as expected, the action in this film is next level. The film definitely left me wanting more. Lastly, there’s a post credit scene I recommend staying for. pic.twitter.com/QDSraJOPGz

John Wick: Chapter 4 is absolutely HUGE. Yes, it’s long, but its outrageously good set pieces more than make up for it. A slick, brutal and stylish action epic that sees Keanu Reeves push himself further than before, and with moments that’ll have fans talking… #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/6zNg6c3KX5

Yeah, that really does sound like it’s going to be awesome doesn’t it? I admit that I struggle with a three hour runtime, but sometimes if it’s an action movie and you do it right then it can just fly by. ‘John Wick: Chapter Four’ sounds like it could be one of those movies. Guess we’ll find out come May 27th.
