Will be watching this movie tonight due to the immensely good reviews but I haven't watched the first one before..

I thought the opening scene was amazing. It helped that the volume was extra loud and you can feel every crash, gun shot and punches.
I thought it got a bit too repetitive with the shooting and all towards the end but its probably because I was tired and needed to pee so I couldn't focus.
It was obvious certain parts where the woman took off her clothes were cut and we missed a few dialogues.

Fuu... I thought the sequel would be subpar at best... you know how it is with sequels nowadays 

Early reviews are very strong.

watched it this afternoon
badass as always

It's so good! They focus more on the close combat and minimum car chase. It goes to show you don't need big explosions to make a good action movie. And we finally see Wick killing people with a fucking pencil! XD

Very good movie. Love the fighting

Loved it. Better than the first film!

Haha most of the audience in my theatre went "oooh" to that pencil scene.

Will be watching this movie tonight due to the immensely good reviews but I haven't watched the first one before..

Beside head-shotting anything that moves in the first movie, the most intriguing part for me is the underground world of assassins. The sequel expand that world to basically give an excuse to unleash wanton of body counts. Give me John Wick anytime over any spandex clad cgi duking it out on the screen. Do wonder how many more sequels they are willing to put out given the fact set-up for the third already established in the cliffhanger. Another 3 more within the next 10 years otherwise old man Keanu will be rocking in wheelchair to gun fu his way out.
Lionsgate on a roll right now with 4 oscar nominated movies and now this. Guess they manage to move away from making schlocky horror movies for years. They are on the verge of closing shop few years back.

The same police patrol came back and asked him the same question again lol

Watched it last night....I totally lost count on the amount of bodies in that movie XD

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

It would not be a surprise to people who constantly read this thread that I am a fan of the first John Wick movie. It blindsided me.

So, my expectation for the second movie is high.

So, did someone kill his cat this time round?

Not quite.

From a story point of view, this movie took some risk.

It really tried to pay homage to the first and then own the second movie... and it feels like staging for a third, and that was just too transparent throughout this movie, and where I think hurt the movie.


Action fans will not be disappointed

Censors did not butcher this

So, if you are a fan of the first, you will appreciate this.

My Two Sen.

there is a mention that a member of High Table comes from China....

would it be part 3, John Wick in China vs Donnie Yen?

9/10 ... can I say I wanted... more? 

"La La Land", "Arrival", "John Wick Chapter 2" - - my films for the year thus far. What a contrast between them!

John Wick 3 is officially happening but filming won't be till end of this year or early next year.
John Wick 3 May Start Filming By the End of the Year

is the bluray already out?

Unsure will Chad Stahelski had anything to do with it.....

The ever expanding cast of John Wick 3....The Raid's Mad Dog, 90's action star Mark Dacascos, Matrix's stunt extraodinaire Tiger Hu, Angelica Huston, etc....

I wonder where the fountain of youth located in Hollywood. That's a premium 51 year old cougar....lol....

Hope for the best

I watched John Wick 2 directly, nice movie ever, actions non-stop, must watch in cinema!

While waiting for this to arrive on our silver screen,
watching Polar on Netflix
starring Mad Mikkelsen, as a retired assassin vs assassins as well

"All of this for what? Because of a puppy?"

"...wasn't just a puppy." - John Wick

Off to a stunning start... most likely to catch it this coming weekend!

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

Just so everyone is on the same page, Parabellum is Latin for be prepared for war.

The movie is aptly named, if you asked me.

Director Chad Stahelski, what can I say about him?

He was a stunt man in The Matirc (1999) and learnt the art of movie story telling from The Wachowski Brothers.

Not only the art of storytelling (which, based on their last few works, the The Wachowski Brothers/Sisters themsleves had forgotten how to...) also the art of movie universe creation.

Which leads me to John Wick.

The first movie is the hardest.

Why?

You had to create the universe, the characters, the rules and whether the general viewing audience to take to your concepts.

Once that is established, in John Wick 2, they had to expended the movie universe.

Most of you know that sequels rarely work.

If you give the audience what they want (more of part one) they will accuse you of pandering to the masses.

If you change things on they, they will yell sacrilege.

So, as I had said, not easy.

You have to find a middle ground and Chad Stahelski found the middle path for the John Wick 1 & 2.

So how did he fare in the third movie?

In a nutshell, good.

The movie universe is expended yet again.

If you like violence in your movie, boy do I have a movie for you.

Most characters from the previous movies return (except for the beagle.... poor puppy)

Everything here works.

The downside is, to make the action bigger, more explosion etc, the action was not "consistent" from the previous movies (I am talking about the fight style of Keanu), until the third act, and the evolution of John Wick fight style returned, and it was... spectacular.

I have to talk a little about Mark Dacascos here.

I believe he is one of the most underrated martial arts action star out there. He has got the moves, just unfortunately, he had not had luck with movie projects and audience.

Based on skill alone, he should have had a much larger audience base... c'est la vie.

So... did I like this

Yes

Will it be the movie to knock Avenger Endgame out of the No 1 pedestal?

We shall see.

Will they make another John Wick?

My concern would be would Keanu be up to it (he is 56 yo... )?

Everybody grows older.... not younger..

On the special note, My Two Sen

As a sequel, this is a better movie than the second one. This instalment greatly benefited from having actual action stars in it. Mark Dascascos and The Raid Bros ramps up the energy for the last action set-piece. Halle Berry another fine addition to the ever expanding characters of "Wick-niverse". Enjoy her action set-piece the most for me. Another cool bits are the creative kills this time around.

Pretty sure will revisit this over and over again.

Watched the movie tonight and theater was more than half-full on opening night. Crowd reacted to every graphic violence - only 1-2 cuts IIRC, hardly important. 8/10 for me and 5/10 for my SO cos too violent for her - she cringed many times ewww ehhh aakk.

He survived that landing with a f*king pencil
