What are some of the early reactions toJohn Wick 4?

Los Angeles Times critic Katie Walsh tweeted, "I really liked #JohnWick4! Amazing to remember that big franchise blockbusters can look like this (good). Dan Lausten, you have my heart, my sword, my whatever. Didn't feel too long, you can ignore the lore (who cares!!). There is one (1) thing that I hated (because it's dumb)."

Collider's Steven Weintraub wrote, "#JohnWickChapter4 is f*cking awesome. Literally had to pick my jaw off the ground from some of the insane and inventive set pieces. You are not prepared for what Keanu does with the dragon's breath shotgun. Also @DonnieYenCT brought his A game. Can't wait to see it again."

CinemaBlend's Eric Eisenberg wrote, "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"

Digital Spy's Ian Sandwell wrote, "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."

Consequence's Liz Shannon Miller wrote, "#JohnWick4's three-hour runtime makes so much sense when you're going *that* hard. The third act alone... just glorious.
