John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum

It follows the same formula nicely as the previous two installments. It's the ideal series for people with low attention spans. Plus, who doesn't love a good old fashion action movie with Keanu Reeves?

Chapter 3 is a ballet of action, violence, and expertly crafted choreography. Bullets, fists, and knives & swords are front-and-center in a plethora of confrontations. We haven't gotten a clearer understanding of the High Table and the power it holds until now which fleshes out the world John Wick lives in. Now more than ever, Mr. Wick fights for his life.

He literally can not die

This is definitely my favorite of the John Wick movies so far. It was action-packed from start to finish, and it was definitely more intense than the other two movies before it. I definitely recommend it for action fans!

bring ear protection this is loud as The lore gets even more surreal

(Same review as John Wick 2) Near perfect movie but John Wick 4 exists and I think have to show that I like that one better

John Wick 3 despite being weaker than the previous 2 in terms of screenplay, delivers gut-wrenching action set-pieces which are still the best in this entire series.

International flavor.

A thrilling and exhilarating action film. As the third installment in the franchise, we know exactly what we’re here for, and the film delivers with insane, creative, and inventive fight and chase sequences that are masterfully choreographed and performed. The camerawork plays a crucial role in the choreography, effectively immersing us in the action. The use of wide shots and well-executed stunts enhances the impact, standing in contrast to the quick-cut editing style often used in fight scenes. Editing and sound further amplify the intensity, while the music contributes to the energy, though in a few moments, it draws attention to itself without any real significance. The film maintains a dark, violent, over-the-top, and unrealistic tone, though it generally remains within control. However, there are moments where the action pushes into excessive and unnecessarily extreme territory. The production design deserves praise for creating stunning, atmospheric locations that elevate the fight sequences. Naturally, in a film like this, the story is secondary, but it still warrants discussion. The film attempts to give the protagonist an arc, placing him in situations where his choices impact the plot. While these choices make sense, they don’t feel fully developed or carry much emotional weight. The same applies to the supporting characters, particularly the antagonists, who lack depth. Some of the plot points driving the story feel recycled from previous installments, making them somewhat predictable and uninspired. Of course, people don’t come to these films for character development or deep emotional investment. They come for the sheer spectacle, and on that front, the movie more than delivers.

Not as good as the original but still awesome.
