Critical Reception

On the review aggregator blog Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of 374 critics’ reviews are positive, with an average ranking of 8.1 stars out of 10 stars. The website’s consensus reads: “John Wick: Chapter 4 down on more of everything—and tells that when it arrives to a well-dressed Keanu Reeves dispatching his opponents in lethally balletic style, there can never be too much.”

Metacritic, which utilizes a weighted average, gave the movie a ranking of 78 out of 100, based on 58 critics, signifying “generally favorable” reviews.

Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore rated the movie an average grade of “A” on an A+ to F scale, the finest of the series, while those surveyed by PostTrak rated it a 93% positive score, with 82% expressing they would suggest it.

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter offered the movie a positive review, naming it “bigger, worse, more aggressive, longer, and featuring almost more spectacular set pieces than one film can comfortably handle, this epic action movie practically redefines the stakes.”

Tom Jorgensen of IGN rated the movie a 10 out of 10 score, representing it as a “modern epic” and “bursting at the seams with innovative, thrillingly staged action choreography and cinematography” while offering special tribute to the performances of Reeves, Yen, and Skarsgård.

In a five-star review for IndieWire, Rafael Motamayor lauded the movie as the “best American action blockbuster since George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road”. He applauded the extras to the franchise’s “ludicrously complex” mythology, mentioning the film’s grounded character relationships and cinematographer Dan Lausten’s use of neon colors and his method of shooting a single-shot fighting scene.

Chicago Sun-Times’s Richard Roeper rated the movie 3 out of 4 stars, composing “Somewhere inside the utterly extreme, bloated running time for John Wick IV, there’s a glowing, stripped-down, 100-minute classic of a drive-in action movie, where the admittedly spectacular action sequences don’t crush on for so long that they evolve borderline tedious.”

Richard Brody of The New Yorker was uncertain about much of the movie, but discovered that the “giddily intense, swoony, swashbuckling, and sensational” finish makes the rest of the movie” worth sitting through”.

The Daily Nebraskan’s Evan Dondlinger favorably applauded the movie, naming it “what all action films should be”, and praised it as a “masterclass of stunt coordination, color in cinema and grand storytelling”.

Charles Bramesco of The Guardian rated the movie 2 out of 5 stars, composing: “Those who enjoyed the original for its severe, sinewy agility have another thing reaching: a lumbering, stultifying enormous of a movie willing to destroy everything except its darlings.”

Reviewing the movie for Consequence, Liz Miller rated the movie a C+ and said: “Watching John Wick: Chapter 4 occasionally felt like eyeing an above-average assembly cut.

At an ungainly two hours and 49 minutes, your eye will instantly be drawn to what cuts through the noise – and there are bunch of these points. But ‘moments’ does not a well-told ‘movie’ make.”

Conversely, Nerdist’s Michael Walsh praised the movie as one of the best action movies ever made, stating”By the moment the credits rolled, I was willing to run through a brick wall.

I had so considerably adrenaline pumping through me I liked to bench-press a bus. […] The only other moment I walked out of a theater deeming that way was Mad Max: Fury Road.

John Wick: Chapter 4 isn’t just the finest installment in the series. It’s on the very brief list of greatest action films ever prepared”.

John Wick Chapter 4 Songs Collection

Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard return to write the score for the movie, after doing so for the earlier three films. The soundtrack album was published by Lakeshore Records on the date of March 24, 2023.

The film features EDM tracks from widely-known artists in the genre, like Gesaffelstein and Justice, as well as Le Castle Vania, whose work mainly consisted of remixes of his work from the first two movies.

Most of the actors seen in the soundtrack are French and therefore suit with the majority of the third act of the movie taking place in Paris.
