"Send the dothraki first since they are barbarians"
"Dragons are our heavy artillery let's keep them flying in circles without doing NOTHING for say 2/3 of the battle. Even if they all stop before a flaming trench and sit there nearly aligned for tenths of minutes. We can not win the easy way this must be EPIC"
"It's a massive invasion of Savage, quick and merciless undead but we like to walk orderly and calmly in libraries"
"By the way, libraries are still dead silent while people are being ripped to shreds outside"
"Hey, look, Arya slipped past 4.000 undead and learned Rey's air saber trick"
"Every major character gets to live even after being surrounded by dead. (jorah and theon were already half dead - oh yeah, theon, seems Arya waited in the shadows while you were impalled too. Go team.".
overall impression: bullshit hollywood movie (i.e same crap like marvel, DC).
but hands down, beautifully done BS.
Man, what a poor episode, lackluster after lackluster. If this is the culmination of the time and interest myself and others have invested into Game of Thrones all of these years, then it is truly unfortunate and disappointing if not almost bordering on an insult.
Such a shame that this will be the legacy of a series that once took the world by storm with its brilliant storytelling and exhilarating plot twists, hardly recognizable anymore when it parades around in a pathetic shell of its former self.
I can't say I'm excited nor even interested in the remaining episodes, at least not when this season has taught me time and again to lower my expectations as much as possible, but I hope they will at least respect what this series once was and offer a conclusion worthy of its story. sigh
Mads is great. Some of the action is decent. Overall the movie tries too hard. It wants to be stylish but ends up being weird.
This first episode gave me more chills than a horror movie :neutral_face: I'm really looking forward to see the next episodes!
STELLIO! STELLIO CONTOS! STELLIO! STELLIO CONTOS!
Why would the guy have his car parked on the road, when he has a driveway!
why just 71%??? I think this movie is one of the best sequel movies ever made! At lease 8,5/10 great cinematography and brilliant scenes!
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
This movie is unbelievably bad.
A fake movie with a ridiculous ending.
Holy moly. This has to be the best episode of TV since Breaking Bad went off the air. The raw intensity, the power, the incredible performance by the cast had me riveted. The psychological dialogue between doctor and patient exceeded anything the Sopranos ever tried. Vera's wordy monologues and Elliot's stoicism built a fire that burned hot and bright. Then like a light it was gone.
Great show. We are so lucky to bear witness.
Wow. This was... beautiful. While I am sad to see Vera's arc come to such a sudden end, the last "act" of this episode was pure catharsis.
I honestly don't know how to explain how incredible this episode was.
Let's just say that I was so overwhelmed I had to pause twice to pull myself together during the last twenty minutes; it was so raw and powerfully executed I felt like I was intruding into someone else's painful memories for real. Nothing even remotely compares to this show!
The best episode of any show I've ever watched. Should be framed, worshiped and aspired to. Sam it was beautiful, thank you.
Went in with a open mind, knew nothing about the movie. Just in there for Alexandra Daddario. Some parts were cliched, wouldn't deny that. But the comedy worked. It was not boring, meanwhile it could have definitely been a lot better!
Have nothing to watch? Go for it.
How relevant has this movie has become now eh?? After watching it again now (first time on release date), man this is almost exactly what's going on out there!
Bravo! I was right there with Emily the whole time. The rescue scene may seem simple at first glance but I'll be damned if it didn't pack a punch, right in the feels. Like Emily, it took me a minute to realize they hadn't been caught. He was probably halfway through the speech... :sob:
If it wasn't for the absurd Jeremy Irons bits I would quit watching this show right now.
Its sad how close this movie is from being great instead of good. The problem is that the last act the movie really starts to drag. I liked it up to that point and it has a good ending but it really could have been trimmed down. Still a good movie, with a good twist on the concept of baseball but could have been executed better.
They made a 2 hour movie from a 90 min story.
To long and gets boring pretty fast.
Movies like this are the reason I watch movies. The film doesn't promise you anything, and the plot sounds kind of silly. It even starts out a little weak, but it draws you in and doesn't let go, and by the end you don't even care that you just watched a movie that all took place in a small room. Amazing film.
Wow! This show is so good.I don't think SyFy could have made this season at all with their budget.
I'm sorry but Terenzio should have seen Saw 1 to understand what is determination.
A very fun caper episode, and I especially enjoy each outrageously pathetic touch they come up for Gavin Belson. Also, man you can tell this is the last season because they just go ALL in on Jared material. Him being disdainful in the background behind those sunglasses, only to break down at the end... lol
What a waste of time! this movie pretends to have a meaning, but it's only a meaningless garbage, the story goes nowhere.
was good only for 15 minutes short movie
horrible time waste film with zero meaning or interpretation of what they r about f***ng waste
