10:15PM next Friday night. It's a bro movie for sure. I got 4 tickets and I never see movies with anyone besides my wife (I saw Endgame solo) - except these movies. It's my birthday weekend, so I'm bringing bros with me, even paid for their tickets, with folks who don't even normally go to movies. They're hype for this. Of course in returning the favor they buy me pitchers of beer and my meal.

These are literally high quality, modern day, properly done, high class cinema action masterpieces. Coming from the Schwarzenegger generation, this generation could use some goddamn masculinity.

Also my birthday week and literally doing the exact same thing.

Tl;dr from it
Non stop action for 2 hours. In the first 30 minutes they exceed 1-2 combined then gets even better. Final verdict 9/10.


98% from 41 reviews so far

Liked it, but the end felt like a commercial for Sig Sauer. The gun nut in me was like hmm...questionable logic and decisions on armament there Charon.

Haven't seen this yet, but Iron Chef America guy is Mark Dacascos. Look up Only the Strong, and revel in the greatness.

Better than 2 but not better than 1.
Really liked they changed a bit the fight scenes, adding knives, swords and other shit. Not just wave after wave of badies with guns. (My biggest complain in 2)
Was fucking hilarious how the Japanese dude was a wick fanboy lol that scene was really gold.
And the movie has a great video game structure at the end, Streets of Rage meets Mortal Kombat lol loved that bit

The ending was meh, maybe is to open a possibility of a 4th movie but come on, wasn't this supposed to be a trilogy? He should have gone full circle and that was it, kinda like the Bourne movies (just forget everything after Ultimatum).
Still, I think there is nothing more to tell about his story, because him against the organization we have already seen it.

7.5/10

9/10, really enjoyed it and a must watch for any John Wick fan.

I would HIGHLY recommend rewatching 1 & 2 again before going in, just to reimmerse yourself into the world. It definitely expands upon the lore and world building in great ways. Just like John Wick 2 starts immediately after JW1, JW3 starts immediately after JW2.

1 was a very singular and focused, simple movie that introduced the world.
2 was great but felt a bit like a Hitman (game) movie, especially with the Euro kill stages. The main bad chick (Ruby Rose) was kinda lame.
3 felt like a mix of Assassins Creed and Call of Duty. Still really good, but more "huh... welp, ok guess this is the John Wick world" moments

The main bad guy in 3 is pretty awesome. Definitely gonna rewatch again next week, watched in Dolby this time and will give a spin in IMAX next week.

Last night we tried to think of any other actors who had starred in every movie of 3 separate franchises (i.e. at least trilogies). Try to think of some yourself! The list is very short. Keanu rules.

What's his third franchise? Cause I can't think of anyone who's done three. Unless we count all the guys in The Expendables, but that's kinda cheating.

Bill & Ted's, although the third is not out yet.

Stallone is definitely one we were counting.
