Just to play devil's advocate: where is the evidence behind the "quickly made" comment? What's this in relation to? Zero horses in this race. Never saw either John Wick, and I'm probably on your side about half the time, the other side half the time.
If it's not rattled out at speed, as is the case with the majority of "get these fucking actors to say their lines quick so we can get to post production!" movies, then it's hopelessly shoddy work for someone who pored over their work in any kind of detail.

Really, if it took any kind of concerted effort to make John Wick, that would make it even worse than it already is.

Generally speaking though, movie production in Hollywood has sped up tenfold compared to movies made even 15 years ago. It's usually in and out of the can in a matter of weeks, post production a couple of months.

Again, having not seen it, I think you maybe overestimating Keanu reaves. I can't ever remember seeing him in anything and thinking, "wow... he really put in a lot of effort to get that delivery right".

I was referring to the director/movie production speed, not the actors within. If the director says the first take is good enough, that's his business/responsibility/fault, not the actor's.

Joking aside, I enjoyed Bill and Ted, though it has been awhile since I have seen it. I also liked the cartoon, though it jumped the shark and replaced the actors from the movies with the actors from the live action TV series after the first season. Bogus!

Watched Finding Dory and Kung Fu Panda 3 on Netflix. Good stuff, especially Finding Dory. Kung Fu Panda 3 wasn't as good as the first two, but I still liked it.

I didn't know The Asylum was making movies way back in 1984!

How does it compare to Transmorphers?
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Why do multiple takes when you know you've reached the actor's capacity?

Yes he was.
I figured that was beyond mentioning -- it totally solidifies my point.

Doc Hollywood: ***

It took about five minutes of watching this to think that it's basically Cars. Sure enough, on reading more about it I see that Cars has been accused of basically plagiarizing this one. The plot is basically the same (arrogant doctor gets stuck in a small town by accident, eventually learns to love the place) and this one would probably be a pretty standard family-friendly comedy if not for what appears to be some gratuitously inserted nudity that has little to nothing to do with the plot, probably for purposes of attaining a PG-13 rating.

Joking aside, I thought Gremloids 1984 was one of the bizzarest things I ever saw.

An actor's capacity is always completely different in the hands of a competent director. City of God's entire cast were amateurs from the ghetto, and the Corn brothers even managed to make Cage look passable.

You are mistaking people with at least some talent with some people called "actors". Keanu Reeves has proven he is a one trick pony.

Oh, I see worse than Reeves fairly regularly these days. Whatever the next blockbuster effects extravaganza is, it's guaranteed to have at least one or two completely useless entities in it that blow your mind with their amateurishness.

Just about the entire lead cast or Rogue One sucked so bad I'd say KR would give them a run for their money.
