John Wick: Chapters 1-4 Collection Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman October 21, 2023

Lionsgate is offering collectors of special editions a chance to either get the first four John Wick films aggregated in some nicely designed packaging, or to perhaps splurge and re- buy the films in order to get the packaging. I've given a description of this new set in the supplements sections, below. Otherwise, the actual discs unsurprisingly repeat Lionsgate's previous releases of the films.

For my thoughts on the films, please click on the following review links:

John Wick: Chapters 1-4 Collection Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked reviews. This features a multi-disc keepcase (see the seventh photo I've uploaded to accompany this review for a peek at how the discs are stacked) which features a striking purple cover rendering of John. The same rendering is one of two offered (back to back) as a kind of insert that fits over the keepcase but inside the slipbox, which has a window in the front (surrounded by a rather nicely filagreed border) revealing whatever image has been chosen (see the fourth and fifth photos for the options). I frankly prefer the second illustration, a multi-colored sketch of John that kind of reminded me of Leroy Neiman's inimitable work. Additionally, DVD and digital copies are included.

John Wick: Chapters 1-4 Collection Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

I've gone on record repeatedly now stating how unusual it is for a franchise like this to sustain what was already a pretty epic energy level to begin with, but against ostensible odds, I'd argue that the John Wick series finds its veritable bullseye(s) more often than not. This handsomely packaged set will probably appeal mostly to specialty edition aficionados, but one way or the other the films offer secure technical merits and some appealing supplements. Recommended.
