Why You Should Watch John Wick on Hulu

Crowe and Bale's electrifying dynamic rises to a masterpiece

While John Wick: Chapter 5 While there are still years to go, the new platform offers a perfect opportunity for those who haven't seen the first three films yet. They were previously available on Fubo TV, which costs anywhere from $35 a month to more than $100, depending on the user's plan. Hulu, however, starts at $10 with ads and $19 without. Users can also bundle Disney+ and ESPN+ at a much higher cost of $83 per month, which is still on Fubo's top tier. These considerably lower costs make films much more accessible to the average person.

Even ignoring the price, it would be a mistake to leave John Wick go unnoticed. These films are a must-see for anyone who likes action. They revolutionized action with Wick's gun-fu fighting style. Rather than relying on distant gunfights or up-close kung-fu, it combines both into a thrilling display. The plots are also often based on a simple, relatable premise that helps make Wick feel like a real, compelling person. This is an immense achievement when he would otherwise feel like a force larger than life.

Reeves' performance is also a big draw. He portrays the stoic Wick perfectly, making the moments of anger, calm, and satisfaction feel deeply personal and real. Under his direction, Wick feels intimidating and human. The other actors also give their all to make this original universe something special. Between action, settings and characters, it is certainly a franchise worth watching and rewatching over and over again.

What ScreenRant said about John Wick:

At the end, John Wick it's a silly, violent action fantasy that totally entertains as such. This is not award-worthy cinema, nor does it intend to be; is a fun, goofy action movie experience that manages to surprise with the richness of its world-building and mythos. In the end, the film has more franchise potential than many other properties that hope to build empires before they even get off the ground. For Reeves, this is another huge win and an iconic character on his resume – one that many will likely leave the theater in hopes of seeing rock and take on names again in the future.
