Precision, energy, and innovation move the components of John Wick, but the synergy that comes from their singular motion transcends mechanistic clockwork into vital, aesthetic flow. Read full review

It doesn’t just maintain the momentum built in the previous chapters but further ramps up the emotional stakes and physical complexity. It’s like gorging on candy for two hours, only you get to walk away from the theater without a stomachache. Read full review

The latest instalment of John Wick makes an art of pain in a way that is curiously life-affirming. Read full review

It’s his commitment to the physicality required that signifies a mythic status to both the henchman who have the honor of fighting him and those watching the spectacle on display. Read full review

There is just enough story here to give the brutality shape and purpose, and to keep that numbness from turning to boredom. “Parabellum” — the name comes from a Latin phrase meaning “If you want peace, prepare for war” — picks up precisely where “John Wick: Chapter 2” left off: with John on the run.

How are the action sequences? They’re fun until they feel familiar, and even then they’re still a trip because the long takes demand admiration for the sheer brute exertion at work. Read full review

The movie should by rights be a “Wow!” But it feels bloated, self-conscious, and pretentious, with long waits between its few dazzling fights. Evidently, it’s hard to build on a premise that’s basically so vacuous and dumb. Read full review

John Wick is the best action movie ever made, period. Action is just 10 levels above any movie before it.

It's a John Wick movie. It's action-packed and doesn't make a lot of sense. What else do you expect? It's great in its genre.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a John Wick movie, and it's exactly that. The movie starts with a action scene right away, because the movie picks up right after Johns excommunicado from previous movie due to him killing someone in the continental ground.
The underline plot of the movie is basically John looking for the "Elder" to get everyone to stop trying to kill him and the the other plot that is going the same time is that someone sent by the High-Table to kill everyone who was involved with the mess that John made. But this plot point is thrown under the boss on the last 3rd. Halle Berry was in the movie for some reason, but she wasn't bad the action scene with her was quite good.
But what falls face first is the last 3rd of the movie, which is located in New York's Continental where the High-Table has sent assassins and a small army who have "Plot armor" on which both blocks bullets and doesn't, but what was truly terrible was the assassin fights.
They dragged on and on, to the point of I got bored, while it was amazing but when it took so long and then right away next assassin fight started I got frustrated. None the less a good movie and the ending means there will be a John Wick 4 and maybe 5, where he is going to end the High-Table.… Expand

I loved the first John wick movie the second one was decent i liked it more than most people but when it comes to the third one i felt bored for the first time in the series.

The Action is obviously competently made which is expected at this point like the first two movies keanu is likeable as the titular character. the second act where we get to know Halle berrys character is the weakest part of the movie 6/10 which is still a positive grade… Expand

Chapter 2 showed promise; sadly, this time the writers and producers squandered the franchise badly, presenting a flawed, cliched, stupid third part devoid of any connection with reality Part Two had. The trick to watch this aberration is to check your brain at the door.
