5 - Meh
You wanna see Keanu Reeves kill people for two hours? Of course! That's why this is part 3
Entertaining but somehow feels less than the sum of its previous instalments, the story here is pretty weak with some really weak new characters and dialogue. The action is very entertaining but some sequences can be overly long with the same moves played out again and again.
Glad I watched it, enjoyed it but wouldn't watch again.
There's action - lots of action - though the story is pretty thin. Still, this is enjoyable enough, and if you enjoyed the others in the series, you will probably love this.
The film is exactly as I expected it to be. There was a decent story, a lot of injuries which he shouldn't be able to overcome so quickly and a lot of amazing fight scenes. Oh, and the setup for the next movie(s). I am generally not a fan of this genre but these films are very well made.

good fighting scenes, but a little bit too long. They last 8-10 minutes each. But sometimes there is not enough variation in movements and such.
Anyway, it's good entertainment.
They say that power without control is useless, in this case it applies perfectly. As the film progresses, it loses any meaning. Only the action scenes are saved. By the way, the choreography of Halle Berry is quite disappointing
I haven't had such fun in my living room for a long time, which is both sad and happy at the same time.
Random thoughts throughout the movie:
• it's always rainy in NYC.
• Poor Bronn won't f@ck anybody anymore. He would have, he's just physicaly can't.
• Apparently, Catwoman was a dog person all along, and her movie was bad because of cats(?)
• Daaaaame, this Casablanca palace fight scene with doggos as CO-OP. Sweet, sweet stuff.
• Ninjas are a cat people, because cats are also quiet and you can't see them until it's too late and your life is ended near a dumpster.
• When someone is going through the desert he's not that interested with shade, because if he does he could go in the shadows casted by those huge dunes.
• The man above the table is younger than JW? and he also enjoys all his power just by knowing he has it, unless the dude has a camel-express from the "place you get when your about to draw your last breath and then keep going" to everywhere else.
• John Wick Assassin's Creed corss over confirmed - in chapter 4 John finds out that Altaïr is on of his ancestors, and that it's a family tradition to cut a finger for the hidden blade.
• Hashish smellers, that's nice.
• Knives are one of the loudest weapons, especially when drawn.
• John Wick 4 and the Matrix 4 are to be the same movie, because guns. Lots of guns.
• Sharon. but you pronounce it like Sharona without the 'a' at the end. Which is how it sounds when you speak Hebrew, so... that's nice too.
My favorite one out of the three. This movie requires a 4K tv or better. Dolby digital surround sound and a beefy subwoofer are also a must!
Even though the third chapter in the John Wick saga is probably the weakest in the series story-wise, the cinematography, the fight choreography, and the overall "style" of the movie is a step up from the already rather good second instalment.
I quite enjoyed the third chapter and are looking forward to the next one. Maybe a little work on the acting skills on some of the actors and hire better writers, but I'll be sure to watch it none-the-less.
John Fuc%ing Wick, that is it.
So the 1st film made a lot of sense as to why he came back and did what he did. The second part was a bit more indept but it did sway from the original reason. I gotta say with this 3rd film... it helps tie up the first and second part of the films. The ending of this film wasn't a huge shock, but definitely unexpected. Worth watching again!
I enjoyed the movie, it's a little better than the second one but it has some problems like overextended actions scenes that it gets boring at some times. Top 3 so far: Thr first one, third one and the second one.
Let’s make one thing perfectly clear. This is a movie you watch for the action and not much less. But then, that not really a surprise is it?
The movie takes off literally minutes after the last one ended. John Wick is on the run and that’s the story for most of the movie. Well, not entirely. He does have a plan but first he has to escape the many assassins trying to cash in the 14 million dollar bounty on his head.
This movie is all about action. The movie is R-rated although I honestly do not understand why. Sure there’s lot of action and a lot of killing but still, I wouldn’t say it merits an R-rating and apparently the French ratings organisation didn’t either since here in France it France it got a 12+ rating. That is, it is only restricted for those younger than 12 years.
Anyway, as I wrote above, this movie is all about Keanu Reeves and action. Lots and lots of action which usually ends up in one or more persons getting killed by John or some of his remaining friends.
Is the story and the action realistic? Hell no! But it is fun to watch even though most of the bad guys shoots as accurately as imperial storm troopers. Most of the time at least.
Towards the end I did think it got a bit silly. The fight against Zero and his last two students was pretty rubbish. It was kind of kick, hack and slash for a few minutes and then stand of and wait until the other guy got up again. Then rinse and repeat. Silly indeed.
Also, they could really tone down on the ludicrous survivability of John Wick. I mean, come on! He gets hit by cars and walks away. Not to mention the final scene were he falls something like six seven floors, bounces (and I mean bounces!) off a fire escape and a trash container and apparently survives.
I probably should rate the movie a star less for that kind of stuff but I wont. This is something as refreshing as a Hollywood movie apparently meant to entertain and nothing else. There’s really no political or social preaching or any other such nonsense which is really rare today. That alone gives it a few extra stars in my book.
The movie has a 7.7 rating on IMDb at the time of writing this which is well deserved, even a bit low. Even the rubbish SJW site Rotten Tomatoes claims the movie is “fresh” which is surprising given what I wrote above.
Of course there is a whole bunch of “reviews” that claims it is so bad and so on and so forth. Some of these reviews are actually repeated several times. That really pisses me off since these people seem to write reviews just to complain. It’s the third movie in the Franchise for Christ sake! You knew what you were getting yourself into. Don’t watch the movie if you do not like these kind of movies. Claiming there is no story is bullshit since the first one didn’t really have much more story but then the concept was bit more new of course. Some “reviewer” claimed it was the worst movie he had ever seen. He cannot have seen many movies then. What a load och bollocks!
Bottom line, this was two hours of great entertainment.
The most impressive of the 3 so far.
Quite astonishing fight sequences, brilliantly choreographed with very original and clever set-pieces.
Some of the script is hokey. The plot is a bit thin. It's a little repetitive in the action sequences.
But overall it's a very impressive and brilliantly executed action movie.
My favourite of the 3 if not necessarily the best on merit.
I liked it more than the second movie. It had dog stunts, halle berry, as well as a good mix of dark humor and action and choreography. The choreography was amazing and the in-between fights had just the right amount of theater, drama, and comedy to make it interesting. John Wick 3 definitely balances everything that makes the franchise good and made a better movie than #2.
Call it a guilty pleasure, but the action here is superb, no one can deny it. Still, I'd like to se a little more of plot and less unrelenting fight scenes.
You can see why the action is really good when it doesn't get boring or weared off at all during the entire movie.
John Wick 1: 9
John Wick 2: 10
This one: 8 (for the lack of a good story)
John Wick fans will surely be entertained. Non stop action.
Looks like 5 mins of talking for 2 hours movie is enough nowadays.
Bring on John Wick 4.
Orientalism at its best :person_facepalming_tone1:♀:person_facepalming_tone1:♀
As someone who liked the 1st and loved the 2nd due to its huge expansion this 3rd entry feels very filler-ish. There's a lot of great action but the movie itself doesn't have a concrete story structure to follow. It feels like a part 1 of X (which if it was the case it would be good) but it isn't. It did felt like they are starting to stretch the franchise in order to milk it. It would've been really cool if they had ended it with a trilogy and then some spin off but... what a waste.
Also, this sequel removes part of the impact of the ending of its predecessor (which isn't good).
A movie which is loaded with action but very weak storyline i guess. There was lots of action and very little climax or twist in plot in this movie. Towards the end the action also becomes boring because you know jon is going to win everytime.
Disappointing... The 3rd chapter of the John Wick saga had much less of a story to it and although people watch John Wick for the action and fight scenes and not the story, this film just felt like plain senseless violence.
Still THE go-to movie franchise for high paced action entertainment.
Only reason I am not giving it a "10" is to separate it from part 1 which I still liked best.
Guns, lots of guns. Fuck yay :-D what a nice touch.
you simply can not find a way of killing Jonathan Wick hasn't tried.
this is what action means
Lesser than 2. I feel like John Wick is becoming the action guy, with a lot more quipping, which i dislike. 1st act was strong.
I'm Not A jhon wick's fan, but this movie is just woow best action movie ever for me!!!
Still hugely enjoyable but the joke is starting to wear a bit thin now for me.
If you love violence then this is the one! Keanu Reeves, great actor and Awesome HUMAN BEING! Lovejoy and Jerome in the same movie, what more could you ask for? The Brits are taking over lol
simply perfect. Great action scenes
It was better than the second, it upped it’s action with some cool and brutal fighting scenes and was fun to watch. A 299 kill count all together between all the films ha i feel the picture and camera work is a little strange and just doesn’t fit right and I can’t take John Wicks run seriously, looks like he’s limping with high heels on ha I feel the franchise is going over the top now with its plot and his character and feel it’s just overrated and getting cheesy and should of ended on the first one.
In my opinion the second movie was the best.
Waste of f* time. 7 big battles each 10mins. You knife him to neck 3times, then undercut his throat, then 3 bullets in the head and still not dead??? Sorry, bro. She shot him into face 3 times, then she is suprised, she is low with bullets in magazine and then she shot 30 times w/ regular gun? :D No no no.. As bad as Equalizer 2. True story.
What. A. Movie.
I firmly believe this is a continuation of The Matrix, without the deep philosophical thoughts... this is my headcanon now. Where they restarted a different version of the Matrix with him as John Wick.
"I need guns. Lots of guns."
John3Wick is a long and pointless film where unstoppable man kills a lot of people then has doubts if he can kill even more for a brief moment until he kills a lot more...
The benchmark for action movies but it started wearing thin imo. It doesn't help that the best action scenes all took place in the first half.
loved the movie! I definitely did find the most brutal out of the three
Keanu is decided to kick ass here and he will continue to do so. Even if the story is not at its best, all the work of the assassins and the fighting scenes is really outstanding. Glad to see known faces here: Halle berry and her dogs really kick ass, Jerome Flynn and his little roll and the guy for Wonder Woman (I can't remember his name sorry) I was glad to see here. I liked the movie, a bit long for my taste but definitely enjoyable! Will be going to the cinema for the fouth one!
Third part was exactly was i expected! Script was the only week part from this movie but unfortunately is important.Directing,Choreography,fights scenes and the whole atmosphere was great you really going to like it.7.5/10
P.S Accept that fact that JOHN WICK is slowly become a superheroe and enjoy it :)
A high octane thriller that stays true to its origins. Keanu Reeves rocks Wick once again as violence catches up with him. The cinematography is amazing and the action is top notch. If you enjoyed the first two, you'll enjoy this.
2h of raw killing. If putting knife into eye is too much for you consider if you wanna see this movie. You need to watch the previous one to understand what going on it this one.
John Wick fanboys write a John Wick film
The cinematography keeps being amazing, the action great, the cast, fantastic, the assassins keep assassinating.
This series just keeps giving and giving, doesn't it.
"art is pain, life is suffering" ... yeah, that's exactly what ballet instructors would say. :nauseated_face: I'd like him to shoot her in the head just for that thanks :upside_down:
Also, more puppers! What a perfect way of applying Malles in an actual setting on screen. We should get more of this perfection. Simply beautiful. And love how she gives the dogs almost all the water in the desert :grimacing: Sofia and John must be soulmates but I guess he fucked up somewhere in the past.
I find all their rituals quite interesting. I don't mind at all that they're not really being explained. But now I'd wish they'd put someone with a lost finger into one of the previous parts. Maybe they have and I didn't notice then. Should rewatch. Wondering how many rings he's collected. Wouldn't think that many had to go to such lengths, but since there's a ritual for that, there must have been.
RE motorcycle chase... why go for the rider when you can go for the ride instead? Should be more effective. :upside_down:
I NOMINATE THE ACTION N THIS MOVIE 4 THE OSCAR... keanu's alright 2 i guess.
A lot of action and suspense was very good!!
