Plus the set-up to Wick 4.
In many ways it a reflection of our current state of affairs -- the rebelling of the status quo and the existing political structures.

How old is Baby Blaggs? A tad violent for most teens even.
He's about to turn 15. He's seen 1&2.
This is America mate. Guns and death are common place.
Anyway as someone had said, there is a little homage to old HK kungfu movies incl Bruce Lee's.
Nice. We should enjoy it then.
We actually just watched enter the dragon so he'll get the Bruce Lee stuff.

True. It all started over a fecking dog.
Tbf it was a cute doggo. We need more John Wicks out there to revenge on those animal abusers.True. It all started over a fecking dog.
You kill my fecking dog and I'll go fecking Baba yaga.True. It all started over a fecking dog.
Plus John Wick isn't the boogeyman.
He's the guy you hire to kill the fecking boogeyman!

Oh

I enjoyed Wick 3 more than I did Avengers Endgame. It was trying to be too clever and a half.
JW series is simple and yet the series interlocks/segues much cleaner.
Ass kicker Berry:
Just saw it today. Meh. That’s two movies in a row ive watched this week that did very little but set up sequels. The other being alita. Seems more like they’re kicking the balls out of this franchise than it progressing naturally.
Ending sets it up for a belting 4th instalment though! I think number 4 could break with tradition and be the best of the lot, although will almost certainly be the last with how the story is unravelling.
John Wick films are a very individual breed, they are massively OTT at times but very stylish films in my opinion.
They will never kill this off, wait until you meet his son or uncle or even better daughter or niece..
He plays the role to perfection. I'm glad he's back to acting.
Next up for him is the new Bill and Ted isn't it?

Number 4 needs him working with Morpheus and intro'ing Trinity into the franchise
I enjoyed 3. I actually wanted a bit more world building though but that first scene was fantastic in the library and Halle berry and her dogs were great

These movies are the absolute titties. IMO I can't think of a better action Trilogy.
It's actually somehow really cheap now. The first one was the best, it actually had a real story. Grieving guy who lost his wife gets a last present delivered from her, gets assaulted at home from gangsters, the present (dog) taken away and car stolen, find out he's actually a pro killer and part of a special circle with certain rules going for the ultimate revenge.
There is a real story. Part 3 is just a video game now. Move from one place to another while killing as many enemies as possible. 2 vs. 40? No problem. And a random ending because they didn't know what else to do.
It only works because everyone loves Keanu and most scenes are so over the top that it's comedic. Otherwise this movie would be total trash to be honest. Great entertainment though.

It carries on well from story of movie one. Getting dragged into one situation after another as a result of movie one is believable. But then, they need new blood for next episode.
I would put the Bourne movies above it (at least the first 3 anyway), but do really enjoy the John Wick films.
In terms of a deeper and more believable storyline/plot then I'd agree. But I personally love the stylized look of the Wick films, and the whole underground settings.
The Bourne movies are raw, whereas the Wick movies are stylized. And TBH they are the perfect weekend blockbuster action movie to see with your mates IMO.
The world building is fantastic. Organized crime in modern settings but with medallion coins, secret villain character only clubs and hotels, High Council....it's a mix of multiple genres stylistically done.
I reckon he'll take on high council in next 2 movies.
I wanted a women lead too, but that'd be too like Trinity and Matrix.

As long as it's not like the female villain. Was hoping they would at least make her charasmatic if being one dimensional (unless we see more built next movie)
Finally watched this last night.
Is it me or is the shooting scene with Halle Berry and her dogs like comically long? I swear there were infinite respawning guards for about half hour.

Fun but totally over stretched concept ridiculous now. Everyone everywhere is a top assassin.
