This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't think it could be better than Chapter 2 but I loved this one even more than John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2. The cast especially Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Mark Dacascos, Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston, and Asia Kate Dillon gave stupendous performances. Halle Berry's characters dogs were so cute and cool. The fighting choreography and action scenes in this one were the most impressive and cool out of the first three especially the scene where Keanu Reeves is ridding the horse and the scene where Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, and the dogs are taking out dozens of bad guys. The visuals of the sets were fantastic looking. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is one of my top 10 favorite action movies of 2019, one of my favorite movies of 2019, and one of my favorite movies of all time.… Expand

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

Its a hell of a ride. Packed with violence and gore and probably contains the best John Wick kill streaks. If you're in it for a good story its there and if you want a break from other films and just want to watch some ass-kicking fun. OH ITS HERE.

A lot more variety and creativity in the fights, such as the use of knives and interaction with the environment. The action itself is smooth and has a special feel or realism in it that we've seen before. There is some more humor in this one and it's all very well timed with what's happening. 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

“John Wick 3” has an impressive ensemble of actors at its disposal: Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston (really?!), Ian McShane (“Deadwood”), Asia Kate Dillon (“Billions”), Lance Reddick (“Bosch”), Mark Dacascos (“Hawaii“John Wick 3” has an impressive ensemble of actors at its disposal: Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston (really?!), Ian McShane (“Deadwood”), Asia Kate Dillon (“Billions”), Lance Reddick (“Bosch”), Mark Dacascos (“Hawaii Five-O”), Susan Blommaert (Mr. Kaplan for several seasons on “The Blacklist”). All search mightily, and mighty unsuccessfully, for morsels of meaningful dialogue or a storyline to justify or even plausibly explain all the mayhem in which they were, are or will be engaged.

In the previous installment of this series, John Wick (to say “a brooding Keanu Reeves” is just redundant) has violated the assassin’s code by murdering another assassin in the Continental Hotel, an establishment designated as a sanctuary by the High Table (which is like the International Assassins Union) where murdering other guests is considered to be in very poor taste. “John Wick 3” promptly informs us that Wick is now “excommunicado,” apparently meaning he can no longer receive arms or assistance from those associated with the High Table. Whatever. Details like plot or character motivation are only incidental elements in “John Wick 3,” which makes the “Fast and Furious” franchise look like Ralph Fiennes’ version of “Coriolanus.” Midway through, Wick informs The Elder that he wants to live, in order to regularly recall and honor the memory of his dead wife. That is, when he’s not temporarily distracted by sending hundreds of others to join her in the afterlife.

The point of John Wick 3 is violence. We get gun violence (with constant head shots, apparently for those who find gun shots to the torso just too subtle), knife violence, sword violence, crotch-chomping dog violence, horses kicking guys in the head violence. At a key moment in the proceedings, Ian McShane’s character intones, “And you, Jonathan, do what you do best.” One does not get the sense that an international peace conference is about to break out.

For those who will enjoy this film, and there are many, the action sequences are exquisitely choreographed, at times appearing balletic in their precision. Director Chad Stahelski, a former stuntman and stunt coordinator, whose only previous directing credits are the two previous installments of the Wick series, does know how to deliver high-quality action. Some of the scenes even evoke “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and other visually impressive action films, with a dash of Monty Python’s “Spamalot” thrown in for good measure. All this choreography has the effect of making the violence surreal, a sharp contrast to the **** stalking and murder in recent films like “Hotel Mumbai.” However, it’s all mayhem in search of a purpose. What elevated “John Wick 2” was an actual storyline and a sense of self-deprecating irony permeating all the action. With a running time of 2 hours 11 minutes, “John Wick 3” simply doesn’t have time for those non-essential elements.

If you’ve found your summer beach books too intellectually challenging, go see “John Wick 3” for a refreshing break.… 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 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

Let me preface and say John Wick 3 is not a awful movie, if you are watching it, it is so you can see Keanu Reeves brutally dispatch every assassin after him and you get that. Where my problems lie are around the loss of some of the great parts of chapter 1 and 2, the grounded realism. The movie's 2nd half felt for the lack of a better comparison like watching a video game. The world lost it's pulse, and i feel that it needs to be pointed out. I wish they stuck to what made the first two so revolutionary as an action film. I love the John Wick series but this is the weakest link. TLDR it's not a terrible film, but it is missing something that the other two movies had. It is the worst of the 3… 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

The film's simplistic, virtually nonexistent plot, endless fight sequences that quickly become repetitive and boring, endlessly gratuitous violence, and monotone acting by the protagonist combine to transform what should be a compelling action thriller into a tasteless snooze that had me checking my watch more than a few times. With the exception of a few intriguing supporting performances and the occasional infusion of humor, this one has nothing (and I do mean nothing) else to offer. Many dissenting critics have said this plays like a video game version of the franchise, which seems like an all-too-fitting description. Unless you have a penchant for watching senseless, recurring, brutal violence run amok, save your money.… 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

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

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 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

The plot is furthered even more than before, making the story even more convoluted. The performances (minus a couple) are amazing and done by some very good actors. It sets itself up for yet another sequel in the best way possible. The first and final few scenes in the hotel are some of the best action scenes I've seen in John Wick movies. The choreography for the one on one fight scenes must've taken a great deal of skill. All in all, if you liked the first 2 movies; you'll love this one.

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.

It's hard to believe that 28 years later, not only would Keanu Reeves be an action star but at 53 he's a badass too. For a guy who had a reputation for being a little wooden in some of his movie roles, he deserves massive respect for this brilliant film that is at times breathless. The film looks beautiful with it's rain and neon lights and the film uses a good amount of humour for without it, the film would be as daft as Arnie in 'Commando'. I'm so glad I got to watch it on the big screen. Looking forward to John Wick 4. Keanu is totally bodacious, dude!… Expand

There’s a question nobody’s asking, but is important to ponder over: If two people existed without laws over them, could they walk together unless agreeing to do so? The answer is right in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

First step toThere’s a question nobody’s asking, but is important to ponder over: If two people existed without laws over them, could they walk together unless agreeing to do so? The answer is right in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

First step to answering the question above, it’s good to analyze the extremely weak relationships that continue to build up John Wick’s misadventures. Instead of allowing a sense of soul, priority goes to the heavy action, even sacrificing heart for the sake of tension or comedy. As effective as it may be, there’s virtually no attention to story arcs, blood is even allowed to splatter on the lens as a glamorization of dying very graphically. Though this movie has many cases of that beautified murder left and right, especially throughout a chase on a closed bridge that ensures the chasers have it all to themselves to do whatever they want.

Second, none of the conversations these so-called “characters” hold with one another establish any real conflict. In one crucial scene when John gets an upside-down crucifix burnt onto his back, it feels more like a mere video game cutscene than a character study. Anjelica Huston in particular drags things down to borderline absurdity with her bad accent that almost worsens the dialogue. Although in complete fairness, this screenplay still contains the same amount of verbal exposition as a classic stylistic action piece of the late 90’s, The Matrix’s… that being, too much.

Third, a positive quality this time, the audio artistry of this film has a full, complete trinity of design work. Point one: John actually rides a horse down the streets of New York to flee motorcycles, in any other production this would be absolutely ridiculous, but the soundtrack makes this somehow a cool moment! Point two: the theater seat pulses as everything from the speakers go BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Point three: The noise of glass shattering draws focus onto anticipations framed behind the subjects to make the viewer think, “Ooh! This will be a wicked fight!”

Fourth, the production design of old green marble serves as the perfect stage of memorable hand-to-hand combat. After an opening race against the clock to stir up fury, every set piece looks orderly while deceptively spiteful, the most impactful one being some glass stairs that symbolize transparent vulnerability. All the classy violence that happens inside and outside these walls stays consistently fresh even when guns clash amidst dungeon-like horse stables immediately before the provocative image of a backlit ballerina. Then, it’s all drowned out by the end when the mega techno colors melt into a sharp green climax. It’s the perfect balance between serene and gruesome imagery to generate strong depictions of pain; colors are heard, beats are seen, a visual-audio combo producing something wicked. Congratulations to everyone on the production crew!

Fifth, a negative this time, as much as this movie tries to depict what a potential war breakout could look like, it fails. Now, here’s a joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Iran. Iran who? I ran far away, because America may go to war against Iran soon, possibly starting a disturbance called, “WWIII.” War is no laughing manner, and this pretty picture about a man named John isn’t nearly as prophetic as a number of scenes featuring people from the Middle East make you believe. It can’t be relevant for today, considering it can’t even settle on a time period to take place in. Which is it? The 1980’s? The 2000s? The 1970’s? The 1940’s? The series’ attempt at style by incorporating technological elements from different decades doesn’t serve any real purpose for whatever theme it wants to generate… the fact that a horse shed exists in the middle of freaking New York City doesn’t help!

Sixth, and this is the entire series’ biggest drawback, despite its miraculous theatrical wonder, John Wick’s journey still winds up being pure unadulterated nonsense. This is a reality where time doesn’t exist, an assassin can get away with murder, and passersby at a train station never notice two guys within a crowd trying to kill one another. There’s never a grounding of logic or reality, even by the standards of its own fantasized world—almost nobody ever runs out of ammo unless by plot demands! Instead, it’s all style and no coherence, its stylized closed captions leaving more sensitive viewers eye-hurt from the overly excessive adrenaline.

Again: If two people existed without laws over them, could they walk together unless agreeing to do so? Well, think of it this way: one cannot stretch beyond limitations, others must agree upon those limits decided by authority. Thus, based on the way John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum encourages a chaotic existence where everyone wants to hurt each other, the answer is undeniably no.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отличный, один из лучших боевиков нашего времени! Но всё же иногда видно всю постановочность сцен драк. А так всё на высшем уровне!

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

Man!!!! What can I say? Awesome, dude, awesome!!!
this rating is how i like, but for his quality I give an 8.5, because the screenplay it's not the best of the world, but the actions sequences are better than the most of action movies.

This time, Keanu Reeves is back with a $14 million bounty on his life, which brings a continuous stream of assassins trying to collect (and some silly business about the High Table). 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
