    For me - enjoyed #1. #2 was repetitive but enjoyed as well. #3 I walked out of theater after body count got to 30+.
    One could say that I'm a slow learner. No #4 for me.

    Same here.
    I loved #1. #2 was pretty good. #3 I watched the first 15 minutes, then turned it off. Probably not going to see #4

    I bet that movie was 10x better than the bullshit I watched the other night. Just wait until the mfer is tying his shoe and headshot him from 300 yards out. Ludicrous concept. They jumped the shark with this one. I bet they will make a 5th one and it will be a paraplegic black transgender rabbi assassin in a wheel chair

    I watched it with Mrs. Rayburn last week.

    Too long. Had to break it into two nights. Didn't have enough cool cars and motorcycles.

    No cool guns either, just the usual video game stuff and a heroic black guy with a silly lever action rifle with rails on it.

    Some of the chop-socky martial arts fighting was okay, but there was far too much of it.

    My favorite part of this series is learning about the spooky secret society they belong to, but that wasn't fleshed out any further in this episode.

    Verdict: Meh. Better than watching episodes of Lone Star Law, but not by much.

    Random thoughts -
    • I liked the ending of JW4. It's possible that I just loved the decorated Encores used as dueling pistols, but I don't think so. Watching that prick Frenchman die was surprisingly satisfactory; they did a great job of making the audience hate that villain.
    • The blind guy in #4 was ridiculous.
    • In #4, the black guy with the dog and the lever-action takedown rifle was odd. Does JW always require a friend with a rifle to keep him alive? And he gave up $40M to save the life of his dog. That was bizarre. It tugs at the heart, I suppose. I find myself wishing Mr. Nobody had not been in the movie.
    • I find 2, 3, and 4 about equal as movies. That's mainly because of the next bullet point.
    • For me, the franchise broke with the beginning of JW2. In the first movie, he killed everyone he wanted to kill and got his full revenge except he didn't get his car back. Part 2, in any reasonable permutation of reality, would have Vigo's brother park the car outside the garage with the key in it. JW would walk up to it, get in, and drive away. The whole movie could have been 90 seconds long. The way Vigo's brother explained why JW was coming for them (not just the car) was nonsense.

    That was Mrs. Rayburn's favorite part.
    Yes, he did the right thing. I agree on principle.

    But he's a guy who kills human beings for a living. I know he loved his dog but this series was full of people killing other humans they knew/respected/loved. Again, in "any reasonable permutation of reality," at least the reality of the way human minds work, I was surprised that his love for his dog wasn't sufficiently compartmentalized off in his brain that the could shut that door, let the dog die, and make $40M.

    Remember the big heartstrings-puller of the first movie was that JW was this completely cold killer who had no life until he met the woman he loved. She made him capable of love. Her death made him capable of loving the dog (because the car didn't count.:)) I felt that made him, among the assassins in that world, unique. In turn, that made his rage unique.

    That was a good premise for a movie. It's been downhill from there.

    I guess since I have never known an assassin, (not counting a couple special forces guys I've known) I don't have a good way to think through it. So I just sat in all 4 movies and took it in. Never got as deep as you guys in my analysis. Cool guns, cool cars, angry dudes, lots of action. I liked all four of them.

    Beats the heck out of Anne of Green Gables that my wife used to subject me to.

    The stairs..... yuck.

    Blind guy, yeah. Weird and unbelievable.

    Black guy and the dog, sometimes people have connections to their dogs nobody but them understands. I get that.

    Loved the Frenchman dying. Easy to hate that character.

    Thinking about going back to watch it again.
