POSITIVES…
If you liked the first two John Wick movies, then there’s no reason why you wouldn’t want to see this third installment.
You watch this movie to see Keanu Reeves as John Wick kick ass, and he definitely does that here. There’s a whole scene where he used knives, and another one where he used horses, and many more that you just have to see.
Action! Action! Action! From hand to hand combat, bladed weapons, to guns, and even the use of a book in a fight, there’s simply a lot of cool action fight sequences to be amazed at.
Several deaths were quite brutal to watch, but still oh so entertaining.
The dogs in this movie, were expertly included in one particular action sequence, and wow were they awesome.
New characters played by Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dacascos, and Halle Berry, are great additions to this mythology.
Even Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman from “the Raid” and “the Raid 2” are in this too.
There were actually some good self-aware humor and meta jokes thrown into this movie that I thought were great.
The world building about all these assassins hit-men stuff once again gets more development to that whole thing, and only makes this franchise even more compelling.
NEGATIVES…
There were several scenes that required huge suspension of disbelief, that it boggles my mind as to how they could casually just ignore some real world factors.
I don’t know how to say this, but at a few points during the movie, I started to wish that they developed John Wick’s character much more than what has been given to us so far. Give Keanu Reeves more juicy material to do some dramatic acting, because right now all that’s expected of him is to just fight fight fight.
Had this complaint in the previous movie too, but John Wick needing to wear a bulletproof suit, come on now seriously?!
P.S….
Maybe it was a homage to how Bruce Lee fought Kareem Abdul Jabbar, but Keanu Reeves also gets to fight someone from the NBA, Boban Marjonovic!
