Yep. Still pretty cool seeing Keanu Reeves shoot people in the head. 8/10.

I'm upgrading my initial rating from a 6 to a 7. It was fun, but I still think the first one is the best.

B+
Only thing I'll repeat from the now playing thread is I much prefer John as hunter predator, rather than seeker prey. Sure he's offing a ton of ppl, yet they're just in his way... instead of the first film where he's on mission to deliver consequence for his wife & dog's deaths.

JOHN WICK CHAPTER 1 was about a recently-widowed hitman trying to get back at the people who killed his dog. It was compelling to see a man with nothing left to lose being driven by revenge. JOHN WICK CHAPTER 2 was about said people trying to get back at the title character for getting back at them. The title character was driven by... well, not wanting to die. That's not really compelling. JOHN WICK CHAPTER 3: PARABELLUM has the same problems as the previous installment, as well as silly attempts at humour, a bizarre obsession with showing crotch injuries and an ending that's an insult to the viewer. While the entire franchise has good action choreography and cinematography, it's hard to enjoy all that in these 2 sequels when there's not enough material to justify the feature-length running time. And no, focusing on expanding the mythology of the underground world of hitmen and their rules isn't the right way. That's not moving the story forward. This installment in particular is a slog to get through. Also, its predecessors were somewhat grounded in reality. I was able to suspend my disbelief and say "JOHN survived that? Sure, why not?" This time, many things happen to JOHN that should've killed him. Even if a human being was able to survive them, I doubt they would be able to stand up, let alone fight... let alone win the fight! Also, the plot doesn't exactly cover a long period time. JOHN should still feel his wounds. Here's a new drinking game: Take a shot every time a character says "Excommunicado." You'll be drunk before the halfway point. 3/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.

My least favorite of the three, but still good.

9/10, biggest suprise of the year because I don't like the John Wick franchise (#1=5/10, #2=4/10). How this ended up my #4 of the year is beyond me. All I can say is bravo to Reeves, Stahelski and co. A beautiful spash of blood and neon in what was the biggest crowd pleaser I saw all year. Hands down the most fun theater experience this year and maybe ever? Seriously, I think it speaks volumes to the success of this film when the crowd energy and interaction trumped that of Avengers freakin' Endgame. It never quite reaches the heights of the first 30 minutes (peak action cinema) but that's okay--if the fourth entry can sustain that energy for the entirety of its runtime I assure it will be getting a 10/10 from me.
