Better than 2, not as good as 1.
Thinking the dude weed actor could be an action man.
I appreciate that they fully embraced the Hong Kong martial arts movie roots, but it made it so that each plot point felt solely purposed to establish a gimmick for the fight that would inevitably take place in the given area. The most egregious example was Halle Berry's character being used for the sole purpose of the attack dog sequence and fucking off immediately afterwards.
Spending more time on the dumbass plot so they could justify having EPIC SWORD FIGHTS in a trilogy that was made famous by making GUN fights look interesting and slick
They're making it too silly. Soon we'll have another fast and furious on our hands
The sambo/judo throw into double tap execution got pretty stale by the end of the second movie, dude
SOMEBODY PLEEEEEAAASEEEE
That's almost entirely this movie though
Even Halle Berry was doing that shitty leg lock into double tap
She did it at least three time in the 15 minute she's in the movie
Nothing, really. Just a slightly duller middle section. Was solid otherwise
I don't even give a shit, the first 2 were filmed much more gracefully and that's what made it work , visually the movies had a sense of rythm and fluidity that you stopped seeing in action movies à long time ago
This one was messy you could see "behind the scenes" all the time, guys taking millenia to get up but still being in the frame , guys obviously taking turns or letting Keanu get his bearings before continuing , entire scenes of a static Keanu shooting in random directions with no energy to the camera work
I think the whole "you have to see this guy so he can introduce you this other guy" thing is pretty annoying
In fact JW goes all the way to the middle east only to get his finger brutally cut
Get me a gf
absolutely nothing
It gets old after the first time they do it. But hopefully whatever they planned to build up to, it happens in slick fashion next movie
I also wasn't a fan of introducing the big chief of the organisation to be just... this dude, a random guy with nothing interesting
Really makes the desert sequence even more pointless
100% sure they have absolutely no plans at all
The second one gave you the impression that they were building up to something too and in the end we got this movie where John was fucking around the globe aimlessly for hours
The only time the flaws in production and execution are notably present are during the Casablanca segment, which is just an objectively slow and poorly done part of the movie in general. Everything else is executed with just as much grace as the two previous movies.
You sure you didn't notice the shoddy camerawork during the fight with the raid guys ? You know that fight that had zero rythm to it so they stopped it after 2 judo throws ?
You sure you didn't notice Halle Berry visibly tapping her partners to give comfirmation to go on with the choregraphy ?
You sure you didn't notice how many scenes were Keanu standing around shooting at no one
You sure you didn't notice characters taking an absurdly long time to get up but still being dead center of the action?
Literally nothing
The sword fights were anything BUT gracefull
They really should stick to guns + a couple of close quarter combat here and there
I did notice Halle Berry's subpar choreography, but everything else flew under me I suppose. Guess I'll have to rewatch.
It got high critical reviews and doubled the box office of Chapter 2
It literally couldn't have gone better.
Pay attention to the guys right behind Keanu in every scene you'll immediately notice how much time they spend fucking around waiting for him
>the credits came up
For real, still a good movie. Only downside was non binary weirdo
I thought it was just a dyke
Middle east section was the worst part. It was like they needed something for Haley Berry to do in the movie. It was a drag and I just wanted it to end.
The fight in the glass building was good tho.
Overall an entertaining movie. I don't care about ranking it against the others, It doesn't matter to me.
The knife fight in the museum at the start was one of the best of the series.
It stopped being grounded in reality about some assassin dude taking on the mob where every bullet counted and focused on secret global societies and weebshit tier fights
>Halle Berry
>repetitive kills
>'Jon has history with this person from his past, but you have no idea how!'
>"That was a pretty good fight, huh? Cool."
2 was better in the middle but each one of these movies is cooler than the last
this
Legit the entire theater I was at was laughing during every single action scene .
They went full Die Hard where every setpiece is about how outlandish you can make the situation
Me and most people on the theater I went to were constantly laughing. Good movie to watch on the kinoplex.
Forgot this. The top guy is some ragheaded sandnigger living in a tent in the desert?
Do we really need JW to become exactly the same goofy shit as every big action movie ? Could it not be it's own thing ? Please? For fuck's sake ?
>that axe throw
>those horse kicks
>dogs mauling dudes' dicks and balls
The old russian cunt was more intimidating than him
>non binary weirdo
Who?
The entire desert plot felt pointless and silly.
The fights with the twins and the quirky ninja master guy went on for way too long.
>the dogs
It was amusing at first but the fact that they made them eat balls at EVERY SINGLE KILLS was the goofiest shit
>Thinking the dude weed actor could be an action man.
Looking past Point Break, Speed, and The Matrix... when was Keanu ever a weed joke actor?
These fight weren't even long , they were just full of shitty meme moment that made them tedious
I was fully on board with JW using the gay ninja "hide in the shadow" trick to beat him but they did it just to make you laugh at the LMAO EPIC reactions the asian guy had to it
Felt like a fucking cartoon
But it is it's own thing.
Do you want it not to be over the top goofy shooting and fighting?
It has been like that since the first one, what are you talking about?
most efficient way for a attack dog to attack someone, it's one of the first thing they learn in dog school
retard
It's been like that since half of 2 and the fight scenes in that one were mostly kept seriously outside of that silencer fight in the subway which was the same brandy of goofy shit
Outside of that I have absolutely no idea what made you laugh in the first movie, it's pretty much all serious and has the tone of a thriller
I think they made Wick too strong. Not a lot of time passed between 2 and 3, he was still hurt, this movie starts, he gets shot and stabbed quickly and keeps going. Is starting to feel like a super hero movie.
I'll admit that I didn't know that but it still looked repetitive on camera
If you're making JW do all that over the top shit might as well have the dog do some cool tricks
unironically 8.5/10
Yeah, you're right. Really. I just don't care that it changed direction.
I don't think it has to do with strength, the first movie pictured him as this unstoppable force of nature and he got fucked up a couple of time in it
It's just that he has a much more obvious plot armor now, he barely take cover in the entire fucking film and behave exactly like he's in a marvel movie fighting goons so you feel 0 tension
Daily reminder that John Wick is a fucking whiteknight who got 2 people killed in first film because muh pussy power. Why would he let her go like a faggot he is?
I stopped watching after the first movie. I think "getting shot in the brain" is a trigger for me or something. Makes me depressed.
He got hit by a car at 70+ mph in the last movie and he was back on his feet a few seconds later.
>getting shot in the brain
?
I like 2 the best, then 3, then 1.
They couldn't keep the same pace they had in the first 20 minutes of the film for the rest of the movie.
It was still a decent movie, 7/10 I was fully entertained
Haha I loved her. Such an interesting touch to have the main antagonist be this beuracratic genderqueer office xir with a really corporate PR voice. And yet she/they was also kind of cool and subtly cute as a villain too. But like this institutionalized variety of the critique function, aka the nu neoliberal mouthpiece, was a clever touch and I know the director knew exactly what he was doing conceiving her this way.
The Keanussance is in full swing, dude is more beloved and in-demand than ever. Seems like everything has gone really well.
the first one was a simple story about vengeance, now it's more about lore and expositioning the setting, which feels more like a fanfic than anything else
the fights went from realistic and kinetic to something that looks like aikido demos, with everyone around taking the fall, desperately trying to make the main characters look good
last but not least, attack dogs. it's almost like killing the dog in the first one was justified, because they're violent creatures anyway. it's shitting on the story same way FTL ramming shat on the original star wars.
He's a fucking leaf and he can operate harder than almost any actor and most people who have guns. You're a retard.
the axe throw is straight kino though
Definitely too much focus on narrative. The movie started well, the fight in the knifetorium was pure kino, but the desert arc dragged.
She suited the role perfectly
I can't wait for John to kill her in the next movie. John Wick has always been based, stabbed ruby rose and left her to bleed out while he let the other dude live.
Based as fuck
Plot wasn't very good. A little meandering. Action scenes were a little stretched out. Not very tension filled when one dude can brutally fight people for 20 minutes straight at the end.
Can we just talk about how great all the dick attacks were
>John punching dicks
>throws a knife into that guys dick
>Halle Berry dogs attack like three dicks
>Halle shooting dicks
>John shooting dicks
I really like the consistent dick attacks
>her
I'm sorry, it.
Are you talking about the assassin in the hotel? It's clearly stated you're not allowed to kill in the hotel, that's why she was killed at the end and why John is on the run now.
>killing a puppy is the same as killing a specially trained K-9 unit
I didn't like them either but you're retarded
Wait you didn't like this movie? What are you some kind of fag?
They still don't understand that it wasn't the gimmicky secret society of murderers that made the first one good.
I met an asian guy who was missing the tip of his pinky. I like to think he was yakuza.
Did you not see the suit he bought in two? Absorbed most of the damage.
