If you compare it to it's peers in the genre, it's an all time great action movie. It's better than the other two Wick films which are already ranked on several all time action film lists.

From the opening scene we are thrown into a tense night where John fends off attacks from every assassin in New York City. The action is just as great, if not better, than the first two films. John must adapt to survive against the different enemies which keeps things fresh and exciting. The story does struggle a bit but the fast paced scenes keep the film engaging from start to finish!… Expand

Anyway, Keanu Reeves is great and Halle Barry not so much, but the action is pretty good from start to finish and they up the ante a bit from the first 2 movies in that regard. If you enjoyed John Wick 1 and 2, well this is a no brainer. Definitely the best action film to see in a while although I hope they finally end it with the fourth film. It's a quadrilogy! You can actually consider these 3 movies to be just one long movie since the end of one is the start of the next and so on. I wouldn't recommend seeing this if you haven't seen the first two.… Expand

Some lines of dialogue feel kind of weird. Asia Kate Dillon’s performance felt really wooden and she never showed a lot of emotion. There are sequences where John Wick and another character are talking and all of a sudden they start talking in a different language and then switch back to English. It does start to get annoying. My last problem would be that I think Halle Berry was way underused. Here are the positives. Keanu Reeves does a fantastic job. He has done an outstanding job in each of these films but he did a lot better in this one. Laurence Fishburne and Halle Berry also do a fantastic job. The rest of the supporting cast does a great job. The standout for all the John Wick movies is the action. It’s no different here. The action is awesome. It’s hard to believe that Keanu Reeves is actually doing all of these stunts. The John Wick movies are basically 2 hours of dumb fun action. Each fight scene has some sort of unique flare to it that makes the scene interesting to watch. The cinematography is pretty good in this film also. Each action scene is shot differently and it makes those scenes ten times cooler. There is a cool long take action scene on a bridge. The score for the film is good. It’s not outstanding, it’s just good. The story is interesting also. We get to learn a lot more about where John Wick learned to fight and it’s very interesting. There are a couple of jokes that did manage to get a chuckle or two out of me. The locations used in this film are really cool such as Casablanca and New York City. It’s good to see these different environments in this film. The film is paced really well and the tone remains consistent most of the time. Before you see this film, you must watch the first two John Wick films or you will be confused. Overall, John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum provides more hard hitting action with great acting and solid worldbuilding. I give John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum an 8/10.… Expand

The story once again takes more of a back seat to the general high impact action of the movie however I don't believe you're watching this series of films for the plot more so the camera work and action shots, so whilst some stronger narrative may aid the film I don't at all think it is needed as the quality story present generally aids the outstanding action sequences.… Expand

Very rarely will the third chapter of a film franchise garner the best rating on IMDB or any other aggregate movie review website, for that matter. As far as film franchises go, most tend to drop off and just become cash cows that are createdVery rarely will the third chapter of a film franchise garner the best rating on IMDB or any other aggregate movie review website, for that matter. As far as film franchises go, most tend to drop off and just become cash cows that are created for the sake of making loads of money. The Transformers and Terminator franchises are a perfect example of this. Then there is John Wick: Chapter 3 and it has quite simply, broken all of the aforementioned rules and may have set a new standard. The plot is effectively laid out for you in the first ninety seconds of the movie. John Wick is excommunicated, and there's a $14m bounty on his head. Following that brief bit of exposition are two hours of endlessly entertaining action, and while the film does keep you engrossed with its sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding this world of allegiances and deception, it's the thrill of the chase that ultimately matters.

Parabellum maintains a rather cutthroat pace throughout, right from the frantic opening half hour through to the brutality of the final act. There's a lot more humor on show in this installment, which works due to how ludicrous some of the action has now become.

If you want depth, character development, and story-telling then go watch The Godfather. In a grade A action film, the pacing is more important than depth, the choreography is more important than character development and the story is only used to get the hero from one set-piece to the next. Parabellum is absolutely relentless in that it's ridiculous in the best ways while being loud and violent from start to finish. Chapter 3 feels like a celebration of the action genre, showing no franchise fatigue and referencing a number of great action films in the process, even a nod to the original action man, Buster Keaton, graces the film in its opening moments. The first two films delivered hard-hitting action but Parabellum takes it to a whole new level for the franchise, with books, horses and dogs playing a major part in doing so.

Suspend your disbelief and strap yourself in because John Wick is back in spectacular fashion. Over the course of three films, he's earned his place in the action hero hall of fame in a franchise that should be regarded as one of the greatest within the action genre.… Expand

It continues with the absurdly high-body count and Reeves’ flat delivery, but seeks even additional ways to reek violence. Some of the scenes succeed (the dogs, horses and motorcycles), but almost every fight seems to go on longer than necessary. As a result, some of the stunts seem repetitive. Like previous incarnations, there are some snazzy locations. This non-stop rampage of killing features lots of well-staged action, which will satisfy Wick fans.… Expand

In some of the action sequences you can't help but laugh out loud at the ludicrousness. The action is over the top, and even though he is WAY outnumbered by the opponents in every fight scene (especially the Halle Berry fight sequence with dogs), there somehow only seems to be a couple of people at a time that fight him, but the fight sequences are all about the choreography and will have you scratching your head about "how did they do that?" If you cannot stand gore, do not watch a John Wick film. I admit I even had to cover my eyes a few times. They should rename the film "John Wick - The Man Who Cannot Die".

.
Hay muchas fortalezas en el universo que se está construyendo alrededor del nombre de John Wick, y aunque su ejercicio narrativo está absorbido por su acción, también sorprende el hecho de que se logra construir un camino con golpes y peleas más que con palabras y "complejos" discursos.
En este capítulo, el público continuará como testigo del recorrido que John Wick realiza en busca de su libertad. Ésta vez, él está dispuesto a ir hasta la punta del iceberg para negociar su salida de aquella red de sociedades bélicas y dedicadas al crimen organizado.
Parabellum tiene lo suficiente para entretener y emocionar a un público amplio: Las secuencias de acción son ingeniosas, creativas y, varias veces, hipnotizantes, los diálogos están adecuadamente decorados con frases poéticas sobre el dolor y la gloria, la fotografía y la escenografía son difíciles de ignorar por su atractivo e impacto; tanto Keanu Reeves como Halle Berry demuestran una química y una chispa de energía increíble y, lo más importante, se nos permite descubrir más sociedades, artefactos y personajes que incrementan la intriga en el recorrido. Sin embargo, aunque la intriga crece, toda esa información no complementa la comprensión de dicho universo. Hay situaciones de alta importancia que se tratan de forma muy esporádica y situaciones "poco" importantes que toman "mucho" tiempo en resolverse. Sí, el enfoque de esta saga de acción es construir situaciones de alto impacto visual con coreografías realistas y que fluyan técnicamente, pero, aunque sabemos que Wick quiere sobrevivir porque está siendo cazado, la película incrementaría el valor de su historia si tan solo explicara por quien y por qué.
-
There are many strengths in this universe being built around the name of John Wick, and even though the narrative exercise it's absorbed by its action, it's surprising the fact that the film achieves to build its way with punches and fights more than with words and "complex" speeches.
In this chapter, the public will continue as witnesses of John Wick and his road to freedom. This time he is willing to go to the tip of the ice-berg to negotiate his exit of that warlike society dedicated to organized crime.
Parabellum has enough to entertain and excite a wide public: The action sequences are clever, creative and, several times, hypnotizing; the dialogs are accurately decorated with poetic phrases about pain and glory; the photography and scenery are hard to ignore because of its attractiveness and impact; both Keanu Reeves and Halle Berry shows an incredible chemistry and a sparkle of energy, and, the most important, the intrigue in the story is increased by the introduction of more societies, artifacts, and characters. Nevertheless, even if the intrigue increases, all that information doesn't complement the understanding of that same universe. There are topics of high relevance with a sporadic treatment and situations of "little" importance that take "a lot" of time to resolve. Yes, the focus of this saga is to build high visual impact situations with realistic choreographies and technical flow, but even if we know that Wick wants to survive because he is being hunted, the film would increase the value of its narrative if it just would explain by who and why.… Expand

Keanu Reeves does his thing and there is nothing else to say other than he's a man of focus, dedication, and sheer will. The movie also goes deeper into the world of John Wick and the assassins and we meet some new faces who are well established in their position. Overall, it's fun, badass, and has Keanu Reeves, so you can't go wrong with this one.… Expand

Parabellum doesn't even have a plot of its own: it's completely reliant on its predecessor. This really didn't bother me at all ـــــ at first.

The way this one picks up only moments from where Chapter 2 ended is just unbelievably great. I really couldn't have hoped, or imagined, for anything better. We get to be fully immersed into the fictional, and almost dystopian, crime world in a way that reminded me somehow of Blade Runner.

The action sequences are stylish, insanely brilliantly choreographed and, most importantly, have innovative ideas and execution. John Wick franchise no longer sets the bar high for other action films; it sets up new standards for how action sequences should be shot and choreographed.

Story-wise, though, this installment really disappointed me. As I mentioned above, all I asked for is an interesting story, be it a mere continuation of the last film or not. Unfortunately, the story here lacks everything that can make it intriguing. It's simply continuation to Chapter 2's with a rehash of storylines we saw thousand times in other action films to fill in the gaps. Moreover, Halle Berry's Sofia is almost an unnecessary addition to the film. I said almost because her dogs partly redeemed the presence of such useless, and even problematic, character.

Drama is definitely not what I expected to see; but with all the silliness in the original and its first sequel, I was, somehow, ـــ unlike here ـــ emotionally invested in the goings-on and concerned, somehow, about the protagonist. That said, Keanu Reeves is absolutely fantastic as ever. He never gives us let us think of his John Wick as the formidable and invincible hero, even if we are one hundred percent sure he would win at the end of the day.

All in all, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is a decent sequel that proves another excellent entry in the franchise, by further expanding upon this exceptional universe and taking even more risks regarding the action scenes and fight choreography.

As cenas de ação são muito bem coreografadas, sem aquela síndrome do "tremelique" que os filmes incompetentes adoram flodar. Em suma, até nos dão um bônus agoniante pelas mortes mais violentas, sem precisar apelar para qualquer tipo de gore desnecessário.

A historia é uma continuação direta do filme anterior. Ela tem mais um papel de background para que aquilo tudo aconteça, não sendo o foco principal, o que já é o bastante caso entenda a proposta do filme. Os personagens são legais e bem construídos, principalmente a Sofia, que eu particularmente amei, com o filme dando uma boa enfase não só a ela, mas com seus cachorros também. E não podemos esquecer do próprio Keanu Reeves, que da vida e faz as cenas de maneira quase que orgânica mesmo estando "acima da idade" - não parece.

A fotografia também não decepciona, a paleta de cores é linda e da um bom aspecto ao filme. Nada único, mas suficientemente agradável.… Expand

Sign me up for a Chapter 4. This is one of my favorite trilogies of all time. What a fun thrill ride. A perfect roll for Keanu Reeves. Not a lot of talking, just butt kicking. Pure adrenaline from beginning to end.

The John Wick series of movies are all excellent action adventure flicks. Very long scenes with no cut aways featuring intricate fight choreography.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is very violent, including bloody violence and shoot-outs. It features loads of choreographed battles/fights, a la Jackie Chan and a lot of artificial light. Its got to be one of a few films featuring a battle between shelves in a New York library(!). I'm not sure if there was much of a plot present or not, it all seemed to happen so quick!. Its relatively CGI heavy and perhaps, if your like me, somewhat unnervingly disorientating but it is certainly not boring, that's for sure!. Of course, it goes to say that being a John Wick film, there are a few dogs present. There's a scene featuring violence toward a dog which might upset some and it may be hard to figure out quite what's going on but otherwise its a fairly immersive and certainly a distracting watch that's worth seeing, yes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just when you thought the stakes are not high enough. The third chapter of John Wick (aptly subtitled as Parabellum) is the best one of the three, so far. Packed with much more dangerous stunts and outlandish situations that normal people couldn't get out of, this film is an exhilarating ride of non-stop thrill. However, the length of the film is an issue. Like the second film, this one saturates the viewers with heart-pounding action, to the point where after the film arrives with the third act, the viewers get jaded. But overall, this film is a major improvement to the last one, which, by the way, was thought of as unsurpassable in terms of its quality. It just keeps getting better and better.… Expand

Keanu Reeves stars in his third iteration of many’s favorite movie hitman, John Wick. It feels like a long time coming for this movie but the franchise picks up as if they never left us. The only person who left us in this series was Michael Nyqvist, who as signature villain in the first John Wick movie. There is a nice tribute to him in the credits after the movie.

But now it’s time to take a shot at Baba Yaga.

YOU KNOW WHY YOU’RE WATCHING THIS MOVIE. John Wick does two things very well: kill assassins and get the mess beat out of him. In this movie, those are two of the three things worth watching. The third thing worth watching is Halle Berry and her canine bodyguards. We know what we are going to get from John in this movie but for about 10 minutes, Halle’s bodyguards steal the movie. Halle did a really great job, surprisingly, looking natural with the fight choreography and gun play in the movie. Other than that, there are some good one liners that fans will understand from the first two movies. This movie has a strong beginning and I want to shout out my NBA fans. All I’ll say is, “Boban!”

NOW for the main course… the bad parts. THIS MOVIE HAS VERY LITTLE PLOT, DIALOGUE AND PLOT DEVELOPMENT. That makes the 2-hr movie quite rough to get through, even when you don’t expect much in the plot realm anyway. This movie is two hours of almost non-stop fighting, shooting and gruesome killing. That’s better than watching Keanu struggle to run for 2 hours, in hindsight (i.e. Tom Cruise in any Mission Impossible movie). This movie is easily 30 minutes too long. Most of that 30 minutes is solid fight scenes; however, they use the same grappling and jiu-jitsu moves in every single sequence throughout the movie for Keanu, Halle and in the previous movies. Therefore, the fighting gets old, especially in this movie, which had a very strong first 45 minutes.

After that, they gave us a couple of laughs in this movie but they made the main villain and his lackeys too big of a joke. At first, the joke was funny but it wore out its welcome and they just kept hammering it home (similar to a Euron situation for my GoT fans). On top of that, the villains weren’t even really trying to kill John towards the end, anyway. The director was like, “hey everyone just slap fight with John. We’ll keep the tape rolling until we run out”. It became hard to watch towards the end and I just wanted the movie to end. Not to mention, the other villain in the movie no one even tried to kill and you want her to die the most!

Long story short, if you are a John Wick series fan, you have to see this but I’d suggest getting the cheapest price possible. Maybe save your money for John Wick 4, which is certain to happen and in hopes of a better movie. For the general fan, watch the the first John Wick and then decide if you want to keep watching in a matinee or rent/stream capacity only in the months to come.… Expand

Is it sound design orLets contemplate about components of perfect action movie for a moment- What makes action movies special. Is it it's characters, is it ability to create fantastic choreography or maybe new, shiny special effects. Is it sound design or perhaps a good story ? What will elevate action movie to a new heights? What you need to do to create an instant classic? John Wick 3 creators might not have found all the answers but they definitely created something special and unique.

John Wick Parabellum is a direct continuation to the previous movie. It picks up just after 2nd movie finishes, just when John Wick is about to be made excommunicado. The first 20 minutes of the movie are really special and I enjoyed it immensely. John Wick needs to escape from the never ending wave after wave of assassins who try to collect very large bounty put on his head. In a city filled with assassins controlled by secretive yet very powerful and feared organization this is not an easy task. Assassins are everywhere here, on every corner of every street, which actually begs a question. Are there are any normal people left in the world?

The stunts from the start to finish were really special, some of them really unique and brutal. People were gasping in the cinema, me including. The sheer unfiltered violence and constant fight for survival, this movie does this well. There was even a fantastic sequence featuring German shepherds, the scene with the dogs added more excitement to brutal showcase of John Wick's and Halle Berry's gun skills. It felt like a continues shot, maybe even it was. When camera was rolling and following dogs attacking army of villains, this was very fluid and kept me on my toes from start to finish. Let me tell you this again, this movie does this sort of action really, really well.

Where it falls short is the actual story. There was an opportunity here to do more with the story, unfortunately it took a backstage here or maybe even left the fast moving Wick's car and stayed on the side lines as what we got here is a predictable plot with predictable twists and really not that interesting main character. Even Polar has better story than JW. John's motives are confused here, his choices do not make much sense and his strategic thinking leaves a lot to be desired. It does not work for John's benefit, it makes him rather not so special - a flat and shallow character, apart of amazing survivability skills he has nothing else to offer. Is he really just a blunt weapon, tip of the spear, instrument of destruction. What is the whole point of this destructive adventure? We have here this faceless organization, their cruel motives and ways, their world dominance. Movie fails to explain this to us more. The story and subsequently the movie is lacking depth !

Remember that this is a pure action movie, however special it is, misses this final piece of the puzzle in its attempt of becoming instant classic and is sadly just punching above waist, becoming average movie which will definitely entertain you but will leave you begging for answer and more, more sense and more emotions. I will keep it simple for you, If action is what you are looking for, you will not be disappointed here.… Expand

The John Wick movies have always been about cartoony violence, beautifully choreographed combat, and high-octane action. If you thought the action scenes were over the top in the 2nd movie, then Parabellum raises the bar even higher. It's just ridiculous, in a good way. John Wick even kills his enemies with a book! Can you believe it? A book. And you thought killing with a pencil was merely an exaggeration.

I can't praise enough the part where John Wick works with Sofia (Halle Berry) and her trained dogs to fight against waves of enemies. I have never seen such an action scene before. The dogs were so obedient and effective as if you could command a pet in a videogame, and they weren't CGI either. It was marvelous.

However, Parabellum's story is a mess. I know, this series doesn't focus on storytelling, but still there was a core story and some character development for John Wick. This time he has no clear goal, he's being chased by every assassin, he's constantly on the run, desperately going from place to place. This mess shines the most when John Wick goes through a lot of trouble and makes a new promise, only to break it. It defeats the purpose of doing all this in the first place. Where is the strategist John Wick who planned every detail of his hit on Gianna d' Antonio and then survived the soldiers of Santino by planting guns to cover his exit in the second movie?

Also the 3rd movie fails to grow this series' fictional world like Chapter 2. The lore hinted at in the first movies was unique, but now they introduce mundane real-world elements such as the cutting of a finger to prove one's loyalty. Then we got a pathetic Adjudicator and the rather young Elder who runs the High Table. Both characters' logic is messed up, I mean would a member of a secret society obsessed with rules and loyalty really trust a traitor and just forgive them in an instant just because they say "sorry"? And guess what, there is no ending, no resolution, only a cliffhanger to set up a 4th movie. It all feels forced though, not organic. All these problems stem from the so-called franchise fatigue and bloat.

I definitely want to watch a 4th John Wick movie, but next time they'll need to bring a better and more focused story, and not just "lots of guns".… Expand

The franchise keeps getting better

Directed by stuntman turned director Chad Stahelski, and written by Derek Kolstad, Shay Hatten, Chris Collins, and Marc Abrams, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is the kind of film that is well aware ofThe franchise keeps getting better

Directed by stuntman turned director Chad Stahelski, and written by Derek Kolstad, Shay Hatten, Chris Collins, and Marc Abrams, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is the kind of film that is well aware of what it is; a completely over-the-top orgy of violence, wherein the endless deaths by gun, knife, fist, dog, horse, motorbike, sword, pencil, and book of 18th century Russian folklore, are so excessive as to transcend any possible accusations of glorifying violence. In short, the film leans into its status as basically a live-action episode of Itchy and Scratchy. Sure, it can become a little repetitive at times, and there's next to no plot or character development. But that's to ignore how aesthetically accomplished it is, how funny it is, how compelling it is, and how unapologetically entertaining it is.

Beginning moments after Chapter 2 ended, Parabellum opens with Wick (Keanu Reeves) attempting to flee New York with a $14 million contract on his head. Meanwhile, the High Table dispatch an Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon) to look into the unsanctioned help given to Wick by Winston (Ian McShane) and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), whilst to lead the pursuit of Wick, she hires Zero (Mark Dacascos), who hates guns and is a huge Wick fanboy.

Firstly, Parabellum looks absolutely gorgeous. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 both looked great, but Parabellum is in another class, particularly Dan Laustsen's lush and vibrant cinematography. In terms of the action, as with the first two films, Parabellum has obviously been influenced by The Raid and The Raid 2, two films which redefined action cinema by shunning frenetic editing in favour of longer takes that showcased physicality. You know that seizure-inducing scene in Taken when Mills jumps a fence, and there are literally 15 cuts in five seconds? There's none of that in Parabellum, with the audience allowed to focus on the organic progression of Jonathan Eusebio's magnificent combat choreography.

Both previous Wick films have been said to resemble video games in their visual design, and this is even more pronounced in Parabellum, not just in its aesthetic, but in some of its narrative beats. For example, each fight is harder than the last (i.e., the difficulty level increases). A scene in a stable where Wick uses a horse to take out two thugs is essentially an environmental assassination straight out of the Hitman franchise. There's a single driving level, and a non-combat level where Wick must reach his destination before dehydrating. To make it to the final battle, Wick must face down a platoon of heavily armoured soldiers, each of whom requires multiple hits before going down, whilst Wick himself has to pause for a weapon upgrade.

One of the reasons the original film stood out so much was the brilliance of Kolstad's world-building, wherein we were introduced to a fascinating underworld featuring an international Assassin's Guild, a hotel for assassins in which violence is prohibited, even an assassins' currency. In Chapter 2, he introduced the person who helped Wick retire, the High Table, blood markers, and the Bowery King. In Parabellum, we meet the Director (Angelica Houston), the Master of Coin (Jerome Flynn), the Elder (Saïd Taghmaoui), the adjudication process, excommunication, and deconsecration. The mythology has deepened with each film, with its old-world religious connotations becoming more elaborate.

Are there some problems? Well, any film this violent is going to have immediate detractors. But the thing is, the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, nor does it expect the audience to, so questions of irresponsibility are kind of a moot point - of course it's irresponsibly violent, it's supposed to be irresponsibly violent. Does it treat guns and knives fetishistically? Yes, to a certain extent it does. Is it celebrating guns and violence in a realistic socio-political manner? No, not at all.

Having said that, the violence can occasionally come across as meaningless insofar as it doesn't seem to have any ramifications for any of the main characters. Related to this disassociation, and simply by virtue of logistics, almost all of Wick's opponents are nameless and faceless extras. The narrative structure is also a little awkward, and on several occasions, decisions reached over the course of multiple scenes are simply undone a couple of scenes later.

This notwithstanding, I absolutely loved Parabellum. Easily the best in the franchise thus far, it's more ambitious, more ridiculous, more violent, and more entertaining. Sure, themes such as fealty, honour, and fate come and go without much engagement. But this is not what the film is about. Instead, Stahelski has crafted an action film that features extraordinary aesthetic elements and a wonderfully vibrant visual design. Parabellum doesn't just unapologetically revel in its excessive violence. It makes art out of its excessive violence.… Expand

Chad Stahelski and his crewJohn Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum proves that when a project is assigned to a person who is competent and has solid grasp over the related subject, the result will be of high quality and succeed no matter what.

Chad Stahelski and his crew achieved to produce a movie with insane action sequences along with good writing and acting. The dialogue is succinct, cinematography and sound design is amazing. Most importantly, the movie managed to retain its artistic tone like the previous ones. Music is marvelous. Actors are fantastic and without any doubts, they worked extremely hard and prepared effortfully for the movie.

The movie is full of action. You feel the danger, suspense and vagueness John finds himself in. From beginning to end, the quality, thrill of the conflicts and skirmish does not downgrade even a little bit. My only issue with the movie is I didn't feel John's character compared to previous movies, which is completely understandable considering the plot of course. Personally, I enjoyed first two movies more because of that, but this is a personal preference.

Nonetheless, this splendid movie has been served to us with passion and love. Consequently, I am grateful to everyone who has taken a part in this production, whether it is small or not.… Expand

In this film, there is almost no plot in its usual sense. There is no drama, forcing, etc. BUT here are awesome fights, murders, for the sake of it is worth watching a movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the third John Wick movie of the trilogy and it was the most entertaining of all. We still had Keanu Reeves being John Wick, Ian McShane as Winston, Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King, Lance Reddick as Charon, the hotel receptionist (maybe?)… In this third installment of the adrenaline-fueled action franchise, super-assassin John Wick (Reeves) returns with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin's guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world's most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn everywhere. The performances are still good and it will always be like that. Keanu Reeves was betterand so were the others and there’s a new character, Sofia played by Halle Berry, known for her roles from various action movies like Die Another Day, The Call, Kidnap and of course, she was the terrible Catwoman in one of the worst DC movies. However, she was excellent for her role. There’s also Angelica Huston as the Director (not the director of a movie but in a play of the movie like there’s a play scene and she was shown to be the director of it). There are two villains here (I think): the first one is Zero played by Mark Dacascos and the Adjudicator played by Asia Kate Dillon. The villains were also great but Zero’s character was a bit weak. The action sequences were the best part of the movie. We could see more fightings in the third movie than the 2 previous ones (the first one was a bit too dramatic and the second one had boring conversations (but still I gave Chapter 2 a 9/10)). The best scene was when John Wick fought with a 2 meters tall guy with a book. It was totally crazy. It lasted a bit long and we could see that tall guy was really powerful but we knew that John Wick could defeat him and he did (as he said in Chapter 2 “Whoever comes, I will kill them all!”). I liked other action scenes as well. There were more enemies with their rifles looking for John Wick and when it came to EPIC, John Wick had a knife-throwing challenge with his enemies and he won. I was really impressed. However there is one unnecessary scene, the desert scene. It was extremely boring hearing John Wick talking to a person called the Elder and then Wick took a knife and cut off one of his fingers with a ring on. Then he had his hands burnt. I don’t like that scene at all. It stopped me from being entertained. The ending was also unexpected. Here’s the spoilers: The Adjudicator said “What should we do with John Wick?” and then Winston shot him as he said “Oh he must die!” and John Wick fell from the building. I was totally shocked but fortunately, he didn’t die as a person carried him to the Bowery King who most audiences thought he was dead and then I figured out something that would 100% come true that there will be a Chapter 4 as this isn’t the end. This wasn’t really the best of the trilogy but definitely the most entertaining movie of the 3 (with pure action) and great conversations. In fact, Chapter 3 is truly unforgettable in most scenes. Ratings: 8.7/10… Expand

This was the best film I've seen in years. Giant set pieces, stuntpeople and actors who all came to play hard, and Keanu Reeves at the centre of it all like it's his place in the universe.

The best in the franchise!! Plus, a scintillating exposure on John's past was a very fine touch in the story.

Keanu Reeves continues to shine in this series. My only question is if the action scenes are slower/sloppy because of Reeves' age or to show how worn down Wick is.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is gratuitous violence, and then there is John Wick 3. I would have walked out if I were not there with my girlfriend. This movie is meant to desensitize its viewers against the most horrible violence imaginable. Scenes are left in simply for the shock value at such incomprehensible gore. One is left with just a sick feeling of how so much death could be so glossed over in the movie. Personally, I couldn't keep watching as brains kept being sprayed all over the place for no reason other than to show it. We are left wondering...even in a movie where our disbelief is suspended, how exactly could these people be so horribly incompetent? John Wick kills 150 people, and walks away without a second thought at any point. About 50% of the dead could have easily killed Wick if they were even slightly competent or paying attention. By the end, characters practically break the fourth wall at glorifying Wick and passing up a free pass at having killed him. What happened to the $15M bounty? Why haven't they pulled the trigger? How stupid do they think we are? By the end, they don't even bother to dance around the incompetence anymore...it is as though the dead went into it knowing that their sole purpose was to add to the body count. We are told the killing is necessary because they are trying to kill Wick, but that ends up feeling like just a convenient excuse for 2 hours of pure, vacuous killing. The plot ends up feeling secondary, or tertiary even. This movie is BAD. Extremely bad. The quality of the cinematography does not make up for the absolutely senseless and unnecessary vacuous violence. The first film had a "cool" feel to it with the violence being just one part of the overall picture. By film #3, we are left with killing for the sake of showing killing. The cinematography does not make this movie an 8 out of 10, just like making a shiny, cool cigarette ad is not automatically quality film-making. This movie is essentially one big, glossy, cool cigarette ad with nonstop killing. It is a completely empty vessel with senseless violence. This is precisely the kind of drivel that society should be ashamed to glorify.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie started out like you'd hope. Full of what made the last 2 great.... then it changed dramatically. They destroy the character they've developed over 2.5 movies and it gets very hokey with the villain. He makes decisions he would never make. Honestly it's like everybody just phoned it in after the halfway mark just to make a very weak setup for a 4th movie. I even got tired of the repetitive fighting and pointlessness. People are literally killed by knife blood spraying into the air in the middle of a busy train station with people walking less than 5 feet away from it, out in the open, but not one person even reacts????? Why do people like this movie?? There are even times where even though the built story element of the bad guys being very practical and ruthless some enemies just literally stop when they have him dead just to let him stand up and have another chance to defeat them..... twice in one fight even. Its such a shame.… Expand

Back when the original John Wick’s trailer came out most people expected that it would just be your run of the mill revenge movie starring Keanu Reeves, just with a dog. But then it ended up being one of the best action movies of the pastBack when the original John Wick’s trailer came out most people expected that it would just be your run of the mill revenge movie starring Keanu Reeves, just with a dog. But then it ended up being one of the best action movies of the past decade, showing us great fight sequences in film at a time when Liam Neeson was still learning how to jump over a fence in less than 15 different cuts. Then John Wick: Chapter 2 came out, further raising the bar with even more ambitious fight choreography and expanding on the world of assassins. Now John Wick 3 cements the franchise as one of the most consistently entertaining action trilogies.

Starting less than an hour after the previous film, John Wick is on the run after after being given a 14 million dollar bounty on his head for killing one of the leaders of the assassins organisation, which every assassin wants a piece of. And it turns out there are a lot of assassins in the world, as no matter where Wick goes he’s swarmed by opponents at every turn, including armored SWAT teams, the villains from the raid movies and the host of Iron Chef. In a film that’s mostly non-stop action, it never gets dull or repetitive. In large part, this is because the filmmakers have a strong understanding on how to incorporate their surroundings into the film to add variety to these sequences. Largely this is because John Wick is able to improvise with using anything as a weapon, with John using knives, guns, motorbikes, dogs, books, his belt, horses and his own fists to keep each fight unique. Other times it’s just a strong understanding of how to shoot the sequence to keep the sequences kinetic and visually interesting. At the centre of this is Keanu Reeves himself, who put months of training to pull off some of these unbelievable sequences. Though a lot of credit also has to go to everyone behind the scenes for pulling off so many ambitious sequences. Especially for one sequence which takes place in a room made almost entirely from glass which had me genuinely wondering how they were able to perform these sequences without anyone getting seriously injured. As with the previous two films, these brutally fight sequences are often contrasted with just how insane this world of assassins are. Just like the previous films, there aren’t any expository information dumps and instead we just get to see how this world operates and understand the characters history through the way they interact with one another. This time we get to see how the chain of leadership works and how separate factions have developed amongst these assassins. A big part of building up this world comes from the supporting cast being filled with memorable personalities. The villains aren’t just one note psychotic villains, but instead they have a genuine admiration for John Wick and even end up fanboying when they get the chance to fight him. Even smaller roles like Jason Mantzoukas as the Tick Tock Man leave a memorable impression with relatively little screen time. Though the best addition is definitely Halle Berry. She’s essentially playing the female version of John, having also escaped the life of an assassin and who also has a keen fondness for dogs. She apparently did several months of both combat training and dog training, which she’s able to show off throughout her scenes in a big way.

Also this film franchise has convinced me that at least a tenth of the population in these films must be a part of this organisation since that’s the only way this world could function as it does in the film, which just makes it all the more entertaining. The world itself is so well developed that I’d even be open to seeing some spin-off movies following other assassins like Halle Berry for future films. Though I’m still hoping to see more from Keanu in these films since it does seem like his ideal role and if these films continue the way that they’re going, I expect that John Wick Chapter 4 will end up containing the most ambitious sequences yet.… Expand
