Just like the Matrix series, the John Wick series is the child of; interesting concepts, mediocre direction, bad writing, bad dialogue, fine (ok) acting and good to great fight choreography... John Wick 3 outstays its welcome and becomes tedious with all the boring twists and uninspired resolutions. you'll watch it once, forget it ever existed and then never watch it again.

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) I don’t have a written review for each of the previous films, but I did watch both and thoroughly enjoyed them! John Wick (2014) is one of the best movies of that year and one of the best action films ever. However, John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) is a bit more convoluted and messy regarding its story and how it brings our protagonist back into the …

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum picks up right where the sequel left off, with Wick being excommunicated from the assassin underworld. The bounty is set at $14 million and Wick has an hour to escape the city before his former associates come to collect. While the plot might not be as strong as the sequel, it continues the same story points seamlessly. This film feels more like a continuation of larger narrative …

The franchise keeps getting better >Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus; De re militari (4th or 5th century AD) >It wasn't just a puppy. - John Wick (21st century AD) Directed by stuntmen turned directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, and written by Derek Kolstad, the original John Wick (2014) was something of a sleeper hit, earning almost $90 million against a $20 …

Part of me wants to pretend that I couldn't find the paper thin plot of the film and rag on it for a complete and total lack of story... but I could follow what little of a plot there was so that would be kind of disingenuous. Not only that, but it would also be pretending that I didn't know what kind of movie this was when I sat down with my wife to watch it. And, honestly, I can't stand the reviews that take a …

positive · AI labelView post →Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

neutral · AI labelView post →John Wick is in fact a hugely fucking solid film and one of the very few series where not a single one of the films counts as a disappointment, and how many series can say that (I'm not counting Ballerina, which I have not seen, because it's in the universe but not directly in the series).
positive · AI labelView post →Anyways my point is that the first John Wick movie kicks fucking ass but the subsequent John Wick sequels are over-long and oftentimes boring but no one wants to say that because we all like Keanu and want him to be happy
neutral · AI labelView post →The director of "John Wick" animated prequel film is Shannon Tindle. He previously directed "Ultraman: Rising" & "Lost Ollie", and created "Kubo and the Two Strings".

neutral · AI labelView post →Director Timo Tjahjanto says he didn’t want ‘NOBODY 2’ to feel like another John Wick movie. “Hutch is only a man. He is like all of us. He’s aging, he’s prone to missteps. The tension lies in the fact that, unlike John Wick, there are people who could overpower him.”
neutral · AI labelView post →A John Wick movie only it’s guys scared his dog with fireworks.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just one man & woman's opinion, but the new Mission Impossible is great! My wife & I both loved it. Tom Cruise definitely knows how to deliver an entertaining action packed film! A fitting ending to this franchise...assuming they don't go with prequels like John Wick. ("Ballerina" looks awesome BTW)
neutral · AI labelView post →Just realized the official title of the upcoming movie Ballerina is: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina Which means depending on where the text gets broken up, this movie could be truncated as: John Wick: Ballerina (would watch)
neutral · AI labelView post →"John Wick" style rampage-of-revenge film about a housecat that got dumped on the side of the highway by a negligent former owner coming back for vengeance. Live action. All practical effects. The cat has no dialogue. This is played 100% straight.
