John Wick remains possibly the blandest action hero to ever grace the screen, which to be fair is a perfect match for Keanu's perpetual idle expression and flat speech (you know you're terrible when Halle Berry outshines you). But seriously, could you not write some better comebacks for him than "no you won't", "thank you", "yeaaaah"? Most are not even one-liners but one-worders.
Besides that, the movie is yet another succession of choreographed head-popping scenes—featuring mindless assailants to whom it never occurs to camp on some vantage point using a scoped weapon to take out a predictably mobile target—all with barely a hint of plot to tie it all together. John rebels and gets hunted down by the organization pulling the strings, but then for incoherent reasons involving his dead wife decides to go through a great deal of trouble to make amends, only to inexplicably change his mind again later. Yep, that's the "story".
Watchable for the action, but also entirely skippable.
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."
Does not disappoint! Elaborate fight sequences! From start to finish this film has you hanging from the edge of your seat. Never say boring!
Good continuation can't wait until the next chapter of John Wick...
less speaking, less cars, more fighting!
That's called "Action Redefined" which the John Wick franchise has achieved.
Forgot to add. Loved the dogs. They were great.
Best so far. More action with stories crossing over and allegiances changing. Some good funny moments, can't wait for number 4, can it get better, I hope so.
same story; same action; repeat => good recipe , worth watching in the movie theater
negative points : the man in the desert was useless ; zero tried to be funny but was not so entertaining ; some bad acting by supporting cast
A lot of action and suspense was very good!!
If you’re looking to be mindless and suspend all belief and watch action sequence after another after another with no reasonable plot or acting to ground it, then this is the sequel for you. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it. But it needed a twist to make us believe killing all these people would eventually lead to something, instead the movie ended where it started. It all seemed pretty pointless and an opportunity for more sequels to make more money.
Do you know that meme about Raiders of the Lost Ark that says that, in the end, if Indiana would have never interplayed with the nazis to prevent them from getting the Lost Ark the movie would have come to the very same outcome? Ok, John Wick 3 is the same. Everything that happens in screen is just a cheap excuse to come back to the beginning, restore the status quo and make a chapter 4 as if chapter 3 almost didn't happened.
Gun play, headshots.. err, more gun play and more headshots! Attack dogs, Halle Berry.. Uh, throwing knives!
Do yourself a favour and go see John Wick at the cinema, the sound engineering for the gun play sequences alone is worth it.. and just when you think they can’t out do themselves with the action sequences, they do.
The weakest script, terrible one liners, and some extremely predictable pathways. It's still entertaining as far as action goes because the entire movie other than say 10minutes of "backstory" are filled with it, but that doesn't make it a good movie.
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.
The first John Wick has more of a story than the better rated sequels. That doesn’t mean I don’t love the sequels. This one especially is just about John having a hit on his head and that’s it.
But that does work since all the scenes of him fighting for his life. Are creative and entertaining fight scenes.
loved the movie! I definitely did find the most brutal out of the three
In agricultural sites it is often said: you are more gross than a plow, you have to change the phrase by: you are more gross than John Wick. "What do you need? Weapons, many weapons." With a lot of everything, I liked it a lot, waiting for the next
The book fight, the horse chase and the attack dogs were amazing, but the majority of the fun was in the first 30 minutes. As John Wick gets into larger fights, the weapons get bigger and the body count swells. After a while, you just get desensitized by all of the killing. There's head shots, eye stabbing, skull stabbing, axes to the head, it all gets exhausting and the final half hour is a grind.
We learn about John Wick's back story and several layers of organized crime are revealed. None of this really matters other to put more bounty hunters on Wick's tail. I like Keanu as much as anyone, but three Wick movies is enough and since this movie has no ending, there's obviously more to come.
The first 2 movies were better, simply because this one lacked any reasonable story. Sure, you don't watch John Wick for the great story, but I expected at least a little. In other words there was no development at all - everybody is at the exact same spot at the end.
There was one scene that was really ugly though and I had to look away because it was too brutal: when his dog licked his face - so disgusting!
Action packed movie, if you are looking just for action, then this is your movie. Every 15 minutes there is an action scene. Sometimes for me it was too much. But it's enjoyable if action is all you are looking for.
"John Wick 3. Fun. Lots of fun."
Yet another family comedy movie, but some action elements.
All you need to know about world setup:
- 5% of the total population are assassins
- people are don't really care about neither being killed nor watching someone getting killed
- everyone tries to kill John Wick
- no one really wants to kill John Wick
- the best way to kill someone is actually least efficient but the most spectacular, at least when it comes to killing John Wick
Overall actions were good enough, comedy was good at some points. But I can't bring myself to rate this more than 6, because it is just so average family-comedy-action movie.
Lacks story and consistency. Sure you can say you don't watch this movie because of the story but only because of the action. But in my eyes the first two parts are clearly superior to the third one. John Wick was "a man of focus", all of is actions had a certain goal and were inherently consistent. Not so in this part, John is left as a confused old man without any clear path to follow, he's straying around, grasping each straw, using up all favors that several people in the world owe him, one after the other, leaving only scorched earth and loads of dead corpses (as of course expected).
Although, John is not always aware of the consequences of his actions (e.g. when refusing the marker in part 2) and in his fighting behaves like an instinctively controlled predator, he has is moments of great foresight and strategy (planting weapons used during the escape after killing Gianna, or consider the many stashs filled with weapons, coins and personal belongings). I really hope John will find his focus again in part 4 otherwise it will space out into the dull shoot-out which the movie, when viewed objectively, actually is.
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 :)
Like a roller coaster with the biggest hill at the outset. The beginning is fast paced and exciting but it's all downhill from there. Fortunately, it's a roller coaster, so even when it's slower it's still quite fun.
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.
As to be expected the action is phoneomeal, but expecting great action dosen't even begin to describe some of the action and fight scenes in this film it's truly amazing. Now im gonna get into somewhat {spoiler} territory because as great as this film is and as phoneomeal as the action is this film has flaws. The movie is quite long and as entertaining as it is most of the time it can drag at times. That being said while the movie was going on I was thinking I hope they wrap this up in the third even tho I enjoy all 3 John Wick's they all take place in a short spand of time so the story does seem to standstill a lot of times so the action can take place which can be annoying. Although im sure i'll watch John Wick 4 and probably really enjoy it it's time for this franchise to wrap up it's getting to the point where it's been 5 years since the first movie and we've seen about 2 weeks worth of events happen and it still feels like were not very close to the end. This one in particular did probably the worst in storytelling due to action being the only thing really keeping the storyline moving. Don't mean to talk this negative about the film because I did enjoy it I just don't really like the way the franchise is going it seems the studio would rather get another paycheck than tell the story correct.
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.
This is what you get when instead of putting action scenes in a movie you put the movie in a long action scene.
A really good action movie with awesome fight scenes, a must see of 2019.
The bad : Halle Berry part, the ending.
3 to 1… fingers I mean!!
Must be the funniest short scene in all the movie.
Gun Fu, Gun Porn, Stylized Ultra violence, call it whatever you want, but, one thing is certain, John Wick 3 delivered it all, and then brought you second and third helpings. Tom Cruise gets a lot of cred for doing his own increasingly elaborate stunts for each M.I. installment, but I'll see you EVERY stunt the couch jumping Mr. Cruise has done his ENTIRE career, for the first two action sequences in this movie ALONE! Also, Keanu Reeves isn't just harnessed to a plane or rappelling down the side of a building and leaping across roof tops. Reeves weapons handling and combined intricate fight sequences aren't the result of Steven Seagal style quick cuts, Fast and Furious edits, post SFX, or tricky camera angles to disguise whats actually happening. It's VISCERAL, because the camera lingers on the mayhem so that the viewer can savor each strike, slash, stab, and gunshot, and ALL the accompanying carnage. Not in Sam Peckinpah slo-mo, but in real time, yet, somehow, one is still able to take it all in, and then the sequence would end, just about the same time you remembered to BREATHE!

Yes, it's over the top, but this is the world John Wick inhabits. A culture of hired assassins, an entire society, existing just beneath the surface of the one you and I can see, the one the rest of us inhabit. A society with rank and file members, management, service, and executive classes, and RULES. And it is the rules, which have kept order from devolving into chaos for hundreds of years, that have made them "different from the animals".
For the love of his deceased wife, a car, and a puppy, John Wick reached his proverbial "last straw". (John Wick 1) For his loyalty to a blood oath, which was broken, he violated a cardinal rule, and was marked for death. (John Wick 2) Yet, using those same rules and oaths, (and his particularly unique set of skills) he was able to braid for himself a life-line, tenuous as it was, but a life-line nevertheless. The powers that be cannot allow that to happen, and seek to intimidate, punish, and if necessary eliminate each of those who extended him a thread of that line, even if they technically only "stretched" the rules. What they have failed to realize is that John Wick's reputation as the "Baba Yaga", the proverbial Boogie-man, is not only well earned, but, if anything, it is UNDER stated.
Those who were paying attention saw that we actually DID get quite a bit of origin/back story on the eponymous Mr. Wick, as well as a glimpse into the world of the contract killers, as to how the contracts are put out, and the hierarchy that pulls the strings behind the scenes. I look forward to seeing this expanded upon in future installments
Kudos and Props this installment to Iron Chef Mark Dacascos and a host of other Asian Martial Artists as the closest thing John has to true competition, yet, they are at the same time fanboys who geek out at getting a chance to fight him.
To Halle Berry, for NAILING her fight sequences, then being a trooper and not quitting when her scenes cost her a couple of broken ribs. Her character obviously has some issues with the menfolk, considering how many she shot in the "kibbles and bits. Also props to the trainers of her two pups, and the stunt men for allowing same said puppers to gnaw precariously close to their kibbles and bits until she shot them. OUCH!
In case you doubt me:

To Laurence Fishburne, for making sure that Neo still has Morpheus as a Mentor, even if you "sometimes have to cut a Mo Fo".. All we need now is Carrie-Anne Moss' Trinity to show up in the inevitable Part 4, and all will be right in the Universe. (make it happen writers)
10 out of 10 - Best of the 3 so far IMO
I don’t get the appeal of these.
Yeah, the stuntwork’s great, but I see no redeeming qualities besides that. The acting sucks, the dialogue’s corny, the story is schlock that’s presented way too seriously, the characters are uninteresting, there’s little to no tension because the main character is an invincible cartoon, the music’s unmemorable and generic, and most of the film is just plain damn boring.
All the good stuff that this has to offer is also offered by franchises like Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious, and more on top of that.
You’re not getting the clever intrigue or fun gimmicks of the MI franchise here, nor the tongue in cheek comedy or creative, over the top insanity of the F&F franchise.
This is so boring by comparison to me.
4/10
It's more of John Wick. There is some absolutely insane action. There were quite of few times I audibly gasped. The story this time starts fine but it seems like this one is more focused on the action than the world and characters. Still this is an action fan's dream and I can't wait to see more John Wick.
No other movie does action as well as the John Wick movies. It is just non stop bat shit crazy action to the point of exhaustion.
John Wick fanboys write a John Wick film
Over the top murdering mayhem, it's John Wick. 10.

you simply can not find a way of killing Jonathan Wick hasn't tried.
this is what action means
