I can only speak for myself.

The John Wick films are cartoons or video games masquerading as live-action movies. They are well-done. They are pretty to look at. But they have zero SOUL. Everything is stylized. Nothing seems remotely REAL.

In this round, compare Lethal Weapon. It also has good acting, humor, human relationships and ... gasp ... a plot. But it DOES have less hand-to-hand combat and gunfire. I just don't think that you measure the "Best Action Film" by counting the number of rounds fired or punches thrown.

Never seen John Wick, so it's prevented me from voting in that one for a while.

I observed a few rounds ago that Wick is probably moving forward with the support of our ... younger ... members. (I will NOT call them "children with short attention spans.")

I can see that. For me, I only have one movie left that has a dog in the fight from my nominations so three of the matchups are tough.

I haven't spoke highly of it in these treads but it's not hate, it's more of just surprise. Clearly overall the board loves it (more than most since it's imdb score is only 7.4). It's a two seed and just beat an epic action film in First Blood. It has already had three movies and has two more coming, so I guess I shouldn't be shocked. I don't really know what year it starts to count as modern but I don't think it's even in the same ballpark as The Matrix.

You voted twice in the last round btw. On two movies you changed your vote

When I got to the last page or two and saw your vote I was like wait a sec. Only counted your first choices though
