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

It was such a great looking shot that I have been waiting eagerly to see how it looked in the actual film ever since. It did not let me down. The style this film possesses is insane. It is one of the best looking action films I have ever seen.

The pacing of this film is also incredible. It starts the action immediately and almost never lets up. I can't wait to see what the death count was in this film because it will be truly enormous. The only problem is when the death count is that high the film can struggle to keep the originality up. After a while each death starts to look very similar to the last, and the 50 before that, and it can even become a little tedious to watch.

The only other flaw I came across with the film was that John Wick is on the defence too much. Instead of being angry and on the hunt like the first two films, for the majority of the Chapter 3 he is in survival mode. Still very fun to watch, but it isn't quite the same as seeing him take brutal revenge.

And the film is brutal. I could be wrong but I don't remember the first two entries in the series making me cringe in terms of violence as much. There were some very hard things to watch at times in this movie even for me, and I pride myself on handling those sorts of things fine most of the time. One of them early on got an audible gasp from the entire audience and I saw multiple people having to turn their heads to the side.

'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum' is two hours of your life that will pass by very quickly. This is as non-stop action as films get. I think this is the third best action series currently producing movies (after 'James Bond' and 'Mission Impossible'). Will it get a third one? The first entry on the trivia page suggests no, however the end of this movie suggests yes? I guess we will have to wait to find out. For now enjoy the hell out of this one.… 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

Having highly enjoyed the previous two films, I was definitely looking forward to this third outing. Keanu Reeves is just as awesome as ever! Can't praise the guy enough! And while it offers the same over-the-top crazy action that's come to be expected, I have to say that this one seemed to really expect me to suspend my disbelief more times than I could count. Characters in this film that very much should've died on numerous occasions somehow survive and defy death unexplainably to the point where it became ridiculous and I absolutely could not suspend my disbelief about any of it! (And this wasn't as near as big of an issue in the first two films.) The ending also felt rushed and half-baked and just begs for a sequel, which I'm honestly not sure I'm ready for given how this film made the whole premise of this franchise wear quite thin in my opinion. Overall, the action sequences are still undeniably impressive and Keanu's still great, but there's a fine line between suspending disbelief and completely implausible scenarios, and this film crossed that line a surprising amount, so if you can get past that, it's still a fun action flick, but it's definitely the weakest installment yet to me mainly for those reasons.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL;DR - Though the excellent action choreography, flawless editing and visceral seamless flow of the scenes carry over from the series as a whole; sadly this coupled with probably the worst scattershot of a story in the series and by its own narrative makes John Wick 3 downright pointless to exist. It was a bit disheartening. The story damages the movie quite a bit causing multiple character's progression to be sloppy and make no sense. It can still be enjoyed for the excellence in the action sequences but a bitter-sweet experience is the best this movies gets to be as it is hard to not see through the paper thin veil of 'Stretching For Profits'.

The Good
Reeves as titular Wick still has his intensity about him, intact thankfully due to the actor's efforts. The amount of training he has been through shows itself in spades making scenes flow naturally during a number of Wick's many action sequences. Halle Berry also plays well as a begrudging ally to Wick due to a believable and previously set up 'Marker' in the Series narrative. The action sequences were a little bit stretched out but keep itself from breaking illusion just enough using location and or setting switching with the opening sequences and Berry/Reeves/Hounds Tag team ones being stand outs. The concept of the 'Adjudicator' was an intriguing one lending an additional air of mystery to the Assassin World.

The Bad
Now for the most important part of a movie be it any genre which is where Parabellum makes the worst mistake by it's own hands, the Story. I do not know if it was Studio meddling or other reasons that tries to continue Reeve's most successful franchise with literal padding instead of a being a 'Well Written Excellent Action Film'. This entire movie felt like it was supposed to be a part of the Third Act for the Over Arching Series Plot but was stretched just to milk out a Fourth Movie.

Even for padding I do not know why the writer's decided to take Wick on a literal circle ending up right where the movie starts effectively feeling like they were deliberately pranking the audience. They top that with a downright nonsensical and unnecessary explanation to the Mythos of the Franchise by showing us a Member of 'The Table', the supposed Order behind the whole Assassin Universe. This 'Member of The Table' literally deflating any tension, mystery or anticipation behind 'The Table' and it's motives.… 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

“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

Bien entendu, ce John Wick -comme les autres- dénote toujours singulièrement dans le paysage moribond du film d’action moderne : il est bien filmé, bien monté et bien cadré. A l’heure de toutes les merdasses saucissonnées, zoomées et épileptiques, ces ‘John Wick’ sont décidément le dernier bastion du film d’action comme il doit être fait (techniquement parlant, bien sûr).

Keanu est bien évidemment au taquet et toujours… increvable, quitte à s’abîmer jusque dans la caricature du vidéogag pitoyable (cf la fin ! ou plutôt l’épilogue…!). Bien que l’humour décalé fasse encore un peu mouche (notamment avec l’adjudicatrice), l’ensemble devient de plus en plus exagéré, voire un brin débile par endroits… à tel point qu’on dirait -parfois- une infâme tarantinade.

En outre, la présence de deux ringards viennent sensiblement plomber le film (le Dacascos et la Berry, navrant et navrante dans leur registre de baltringues). Et sans rien dévoiler bien sûr, le passage dans le désert avec truc-bidule (cet abruti de chez nous, d’ailleurs), c’est vraiment putain de n’importe quoi ! (les scénaristes sont complètement à la masse, on vous dit !). En somme, tout cela est fort décevant et regrettable malgré un brio dans l’action toujours aussi… impressionnant.… Expand

One of the earlier chase sequences has Wick run down a street. He then gets hit by one car and immediate by a second. Without anything to show for. The people in the cars then let him get up and run into a nearby stable before giving chase. How nice of them.
The people inside the stable then react like gun wielding goons are a daily occurrence you do not need to worry about. Probably they have seem too much Wick already. Next Wick takes a horse and gallops down a street while being hunted down by two motorcycles. Where do these guy comes from? Well, they were visible watching Wick going in and then exciting that stable. How did they know he would be there? How did they know he would come out? Who cares.
Next we see clearly that the cars to either side to the chase scene are all parked and have their headlights on. Every scene feels fake. Like when someone is surrounded by five thugs who all wait in turn to get a whipping. It has been done to death. Try something else.
The first movie felt like a graceful dance, this feels like a drunken swagger.… Expand

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

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.

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??

I know these movies are James Bond-like, but this one is completely ridiculous. He gets hit by two cars, then gets up and kicks some assassin butt. There are countless assassins coming at him with guns blazing, and swords, and somehow he kills all 30 of them. Have any of these assassins heard of a sniper?
In another scene, he's speeding on a motorcycle at over 100 mph, while kicking more butt, all without losing control at all, until at the end of the chase he falls off going about 40 mph and smashes into a curb. Of course, it's barely a flesh wound, so he gets up as if a butterfly laned on his shoulder.
He's thrown into countless class cases, is shot 4 times, while falling, oh, 20 stories hitting 3 fire escapes going down, and splats on the alley below. The end of John Wick....but no, miraculously he's still alive.
I like to suspend believability, but there's only so much I can take. I was hoping someone would just put a bullet in the guy after a while. Oh, but than, someone did. Four of them. I loved the first John Wick movie. I loved Jack Reacher and The Accountant. At least they bled a little. The second John Wick was less believable, but hey, it was action. This one had the plot of a video game for 12-year-olds. Not one time was I in suspense as to how he would get out of the next mess of having 50 guys with machine guns shooting at his, while he brandished his 9mm. One of the worst movies I've seen, and hey, they're making a 4th one! Can't wait.… Expand

There are a lot of jokes like "Wait a sec i'm gonna stand up and we fight" or like [FLIPS MORPHEUS].

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a 3 for me because of pointless plot twists. They talk 5 seconds about John's origin without and they instantly forget the subject. Some fights are not credible and because of the direction sometimes it is hard to follow the action of the fight. I would give it a 0 but it has original action scenes (introducing dogs, throwing knifes,...). In short, shooting is good, but a good plot is needed.… Expand

All the Non stop Action is too much and comical at times. It feels like these 3 Movies are just one long fight scene. I usually like Keanu Reeves movies but this one is just not for me, bring on Bill and Ted Face the Music :)

I gave this a 2 because there were a couple of brief moments of physical humor that were entertaining and actually seemed intentional. Otherwise this thing is a dumpster fire.

If this had been sold as a Not Another John Wick Movie, it could have been genius. We were laughing our butts off through the first 20 minutes, but it stopped being funny pretty quickly. It's loud, lots of long drawn out fight scenes with no connection to anything resembling a story, with all of the scenes being essentially carbon copies of the scene before. It's a migraine inducing action circus that reads more like a screwball comedy than a thriller/action movie. You could cut out half of this movie and it wouldn't matter, because the movie isn't actually about anything. It's just a chase scene... one long tedious chase scene with no emotional core. Halley Barry tries to have an Oscar moment where she reads some backstory to us about her daughter for some reason. Just so cringe. The first John Wick had a sense of what it was, it was competently written and executed, and was a solid action revenge flick. This thing... I don't actually know what this thing was.… Expand

If "pornography" is truly defined in "having no redeeming social value," then this positively awful release would most certainly qualify.

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

THE THEATER TEMPERATURE WAS JUST RIGHT FOR A CHANGE. The movie was a waste of time. Silly gunsters and karate nuts and knife thrusters galore to inane ends.

I am a big movie goer and John Wick 3 is the worst movie I have ever seen. All the shoot em ups gave us a huge headache. The movie was totally terrible!!! Doesn’t even deserve a 1!!!

We found it is just a succession of unpleasant, repetitive, pointless and most of all unrealistic fight scenes with no plot, no wit and no humour. The "action" is mainly not stunts but merely men being stabbed, or shot at close range in the head. It was so pathetic that we could only stand 1 hour and 10 minutes of it and walked out at that point. Do not waste your money on this drivel. My wife said it was one of the worst films she has ever seem.… Expand

The original John Wick was a clever, small revenge genre film - you killed my dog, so I'm gonna kill you and anyone else who gets in my way.

The movie sucks, dude. The John Wick movies were never something for plot, it was supposed to be a simple premise for a good entertaining movie: watching Keanu Reeves kick some guys ass and get the **** kicked out of him in return. This movieThe movie sucks, dude. The John Wick movies were never something for plot, it was supposed to be a simple premise for a good entertaining movie: watching Keanu Reeves kick some guys ass and get the **** kicked out of him in return. This movie just completely jumbles up the entire premise by adding a nonsensical storyline and just a bunch of random nonsense through out there for what seems like no good reason. It just makes for a bull**** movie without any of the charm of the first two. Hard to sit through, hard to listen to, and hard to watch overall. The writing just sucks, and not in a "haha we can ignore the story and just watch a buncha people die" but in a "holy hell this is really painful to listen to" type way. Stop it? Please? They're supposed to be simple and fun? Go back to the neon lights of the last movies and keep with the simple ideas so I can just watch Keanu Reeves get his ass kicked and not want to blow my brains out.… Expand

Ahhhhhh movies should have plots, this one is lacking, if you took out all the fighting/killing scenes you would have about 25 mins of movie left - boring. I like action thrillers but this is just stupid. The plot about a master of his artAhhhhhh movies should have plots, this one is lacking, if you took out all the fighting/killing scenes you would have about 25 mins of movie left - boring. I like action thrillers but this is just stupid. The plot about a master of his art (Reeves) yet he is too stupid to take off the bloody suit he has been wearing, goes around the world in it, I am sure they could smell him coming by now, no disguise, no attempt to blend in - yet he is the great John Wick? Oh Pahlease........a hat, an umbrella, something to avoid detection - can he be so stupid, instead he walks around with the equivalent a neon sign pointing to him. Get a helmet and maybe a motorcycle so you can't be seen quite so easily - oh wait he finally got the bike, just not the helmet, see I AM sticking it out to the boring bitter end here.

What has happened to movies? To Hollywood? Do they think the only way to entertain us is with fighting, killing, blood and repeat over and over again, is it them that are lacking intelligence or is it the majority of the American people? This movie could have been good, maybe even very good if there had been a modicum of reality to it, more of a plot and WAY less of the incredibly boring mass killing scenes. I long for the old Bourne movies, where there was a plot, plenty of action scenes, but the use of intelligence is what intrigued. WAKE UP Hollywood you are losing the over 21 movie watchers. Oh and to those loving this movie, well it truly makes me wonder.… Expand
