Hot Take: Equalizer franchise is much better than the John Wick franchise

Had never seen any of either franchise until the last couple of weeks. Watched all three Equalizer movies and loved them. Currently watching the first John Wick and it’s just not doing it for me.

So you haven’t even finished the first movie in the John Wick franchise, but you feel like you can make a declarative statement like this? That’s not a hot take, that’s just kind of

1st Equalizer is awesome. 2nd is kinda disjointed. I've got 25 minutes left in the 3rd but it's better than the last one even if not action packed.

I don’t care for either.

Better plot for sure and of course the lead is a much better actor.

Hot take: You're wrong.

If you want to watch two hours of gunshots to the head. John Wick is your cinema.
I like how The Equalizer has a slow burn and tries to tell a story. But it's really just the first film.

Agree with OP. Other than John Wick 1 the rest of them were comical. Equalizer is much better. Plus the main character actually speaks. John wick 3 and 4 were garbage. Let the downvotes begin.

Not either of these franchises, but if you like the somewhat over the top solo shooter movies, "Nobody" with Bob Odenkirk is incredible. Truly one of the funnest movies I've ever watched.
I know they're shooting with a second one soon. I'm hoping they turn that into a trilogy as well, I just hope Odenkirk's able to continue shooting them with his health problems.
ETA: The first equalizer is my favorite movie among either of these franchises.

Is this the series with Queen Latifa?

I’ve always preferred it to John wick tbh. Every John Wick eventually puts me to sleep, except for the first one. there was actually a bit of a story, and character development, before the monotonous fight scenes. The sequels are just a bore.

You're a moron who has awful taste. John Wick shits all over Equalizer, especially the first John Wick. On one hand you have Keanu actually performing some of the best action scenes Hollywood has ever seen, and on the other hand you have fat Denzel with shitty choreography. I wish I had more than one downvote to give you.

So you are a black person

With its sloppy editing The Equalizer was at least 20 minutes too long. Denzel couldn't hide his beer gut enough to make the fight scenes plausible. The Equalizer had the feel of a USA Networks movie for TV.
John Wick was tight. It's in a different league.

If you like these types of movies then Payback is a good movie to watch. Mel Gibson doing his thing.

Somehow just watched Equalizer 1 for the first time last night. Despite an overly tired storyline (bad Russian mobsters), Denzel is so good it was very entertaining. Looking forward to the next two…

I actually agree with this take. John Wick has been red hot shite since the first film. Ive fallen asleep during 2. Somehow made it thru the forth and was wishing Wick would have domed me too when it was over.
