John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum

If the quality of the John Wick franchise stays at this level, I hope they never stop making them.

5/5 John Wicks 3/5 Movie 4/5 on summ

How on earth can critics give this a high score let alone audiences. It is simply a kind of game of thrones meets call of duty..utterly maronic where the first film at least had some depth.

I enjoyed the first two movies of John wick, so I was looking for this one hopefully that will be like the others. I liked it But not too much because it doesn't work well in the storyline, Which makes me feel dull after a while, the film was entirely action which I love it but it kind of too much. Eventually, it was good but need some fixing, and I still feel excited about the next chapter.

Great set action pieces with the fun blend of cultural backdrops

Action packed movie with on point acting, truly a masterpiece.

At least in superhero movies they give some pretext for the hero being invincible. This is just roll-your-eyes-dumb.

Dr. Strange - I have magic. Iron man - I have technology. John wick - I have pencil , lot of pencils.

The thing I really love with John Wick is that the films just literally pick up where the last left off. It's kind of like the TV show 24 in a way. He just is having a really bad few weeks/ month? Who knows how long has gone by. It delves straight into the action with a insane knife fight to kick us off and then a modern day vs western shoot out with Wick riding a horse through the streets being chased by motorbikes. Only John Wick could pull something like that off. This is the first movie where John Wick is really on the run rather than being the aggressor. In the previous films it's him taking the fight to the people who have wronged him but this time after his actions at the end of the second film he has a bounty on his head and everyone in town wants him dead. That really keeps the franchise fresh and exciting and not a retread of the previous two movies. One thing I have to say on the back of that early knife fight and horse shoot out is that the writers and creators just keep upping the ante when it comes to the action sequences. They just keep getting wilder and more creative with each passing film and that's something that us as an audience just love to see. It's great to see John in full flow but they always throw him into a new situation that he will somehow find his way out of in an innovative way. This film really deals with the repercussions of the last which also dealt with the actions of the first movie. It's great storytelling and it adds more and more layers to this story and it also allows us to keep diving further and further into this world Wick lives in. One of the things I liked about the film is it made the bold move to change it's scenery half way through the movie. The move didn't fully work for me and felt like the least interesting part of the film but it was a bold move none the less. We did learn that the one thing not to do in this world is piss off an assassin with a dog as Halle Berry's character really comes to life when her dogs life is put into danger. Will these baddies never learn?! Another thing I have to add about this world is that nobody seems to react to dead bodies. There's been numerous occasions where Wick or somebody else has dispatched of numerous bodies in public locations and nobody bats an eyelid?! Are these murders so common nobody cares? Or are we just not meant to think about that? It happens so often it really does make me wonder why everyone is so natural with it. The last part of the movie is excellently done. It completely changes in terms of the story and redirects the plot completely. We get one hell of an awesome shoot out and a somewhat drawn out fight. That was the one downside for me but the ending more than made up for it. It opened up ANOTHER new plot for the next movie and left us all really wanting more. After watching all 3 of the John Wick movies, I have to say that the 1st is still my favourite. The originality shown in that movie and unexpectedness of how good it was means it's still the best for me in the franchise. This 3rd movie though is not far behind it. They're all excellent movies and I for one cannot wait to see where the next film takes us. The John Wick team has proven before it can match our expectations so I fully expect the 4th movie to continue this franchises hot streak!

The first two movies do well in world building, this movie just seems to pull itself out of its own ass. The fights scenes are pretty good, like usual, but they decided to lean to hard into the "high table controls everything" thing. Its similar to the F&F franchise on how it deviates the series way too far from its core. I want to watch Keanu Reeves put his all into somewhat realistic, badass stunts, not be lectured on the complexities of a fantasy cult-gang that for some reason can clear up NY traffic just so Mr. Reeves can ride a horse in the middle of Chinatown.
