For me personaly the series gets better with each entry.
But most would probably say they are pretty equal overall. There are no big tonal shifts. The movies are similar in style and execution, but they keep expanding the world around him.

Wow what a terrible choice.
Agreed. I wasn't expecting much outside of the main series but I had certainly hoped the spinoffs would've retained the same consistent level of talent and directorial expertise. Wiseman is an awful choice, I'll be surprised if the film plays out as anything other than a painfully generic action film that's quickly forgettable.
Reads like an april fools joke.
Female lead spin-offs have proven to be so successful in the past couple years that i can totally understand why Lionsgate would want to burn a ton of money on this... not.
That's a fair statement, but given the admiration of the main series thanks to the love for Keanu Reeves, the amount of time he puts into the role, and the overall consistency of the choreography, I was simultaneously hoping that'd continue in some form or fashion. They dropped the ball fairly quickly in that regard, I see.
Well, they already annonced a 4th film with Keanu, so i don't know why they feel the need to do this one. Personally i have zero interest in this film, or the tv series that is supposedly in development.
I'll go and watch the 4th film for sure, but i hope the series doesn't start to overstay it's welcome.
It hasn't even begun with any of the spinoffs so I'm willing to give it a chance. I love the series and would be happy if they could make something competent out of these spinoffs.
I am willing to give it a chance as well, i am not a guy who completely dismisses something before he hasn't seen it, mind you. And i will wait and see if they can grab my interest later on somehow.
But to me, two elements are completely integral to this franchise:
1. Chad Stahelski, and his deep knowledge of stuntwork and guns, and his almost fetishizing of it in the Wick films, plus his old school directorial sensibilities, with wide lenses, and fixed cameras. We never had a stunt guy becoming a famous director before (as far as i know), and it's fun to see what he brings to the table.
2. Keanu and his extreme commitment to it all. A guy like that is needed for this. They both compliment each other perfectly.
If one of these guys is missing (and for the tv show and spin off, both are missing as far as i know) i am not sure i will care. The world building is fun to watch and entertaining but completely secondary for me. Without these two guys, it won't be enough to keep my interest i'm afraid.
And given all the casting news on Matrix in the past few weeks, it seems they'll film that first before the 4th Wick outing. Matrix 4 is currently aiming to arrive on the big screen in 2022.
Matrix 4's release date confirmed: May 21, 2021, which is the same release date as John Wick 4. Seems this confirms the delay.
