Some of the highest rated movies of the past year on RT are John Wick, Puss in Boots, and Top Gun. Not exactly my definition of "pretentious art house European movies that nobody else will see".

Funny enough, none of these franchises are known for having incredibly deep and complex plots.

They rated John Wick 4 highly? I enjoyed some of the action but that was not a particularly well written or acted movie. Nice cinematography but that should only take you so far.

Well I heavily disagree with you there. It has very solidly acted and the writing was remarkably good with some beautifully philosophical and thoughtful scenes like the one where they were talking about what they wanted to have written on their gravestones. The ending brought me to tears. Appart from that many critics rated the movie highly because the final hour of the movie is seemingly widely considered to have some of the best action scenes ever made. And I agree with that.

From what I've read the difference between the Mario movie and John Wick is that in the Mario movie the characters lack depth and actual character. That is not the case in John Wick: Chapter 4.
