Halle Berry was invincible, her and John's scene was basically a scene outta Modern Warfare.

I prefer 2 still mainly cos it felt they knew to restrain themselves there. Casablanca and fighting the Raid dudes and the fanboy just went on too long. A lot of New York scenes were nice and concise like horse deaths, knife throwing and the motorbike chase. Armored dudes was a mix up as well:ehh:

I dug it, just felt there could be a bit more style and vulnerability.

Me and another breh sitting next to me were having the same exact reactions, the horse kicks were straight up comedy....

To be fair, the brutality reminded me of Death Wish 3....

This franchise started with Gun-Fu and by the end of this flick was giving us Book-Fu, Horse-Fu, Motorcycle-Fu, Dog-Fu...just so much awesome fight choreography.
And Mark Dacascos left Kitchen Stadium to come through and show and prove that he still got them capoeira skills from Only The Strong. I wish they'd let his character live though because he was funny as shyt and would have made a cool recurring foil for John.

The last act really makes it for me. Honestly, I like the exposition for Sofia more than the shootout, but them dogs :picard:

Winston played 'em, that caught me off guard. Still, that moral challenge he presented really kept me from feeling like 2 was better and grounded the movie in some sense of direction beyond "Keep John Alive".

I liked The Ajudicator more than all the other world-building characters introduced. Her role made sense and was necessary, and came off exactly as the type of person who should play such a snarl-inducing role.

Some of the action was too over-the-top--the horses specifically. One was enough:mjlol:

I liked that they showed John's limitations when dealing with people who know how to throw punches and kicks. He eventually adapts every time, but he always takes a beating in the learning curve lol.

I'm happy The Raid gang didn't die.

I wanted to adjust the brightness sometimes so I could see the action better.

I thought Pidgeon breh had died from them cuts:picard:

My favorite showdowns were the library, the knife-throwing competition (:mjlol:), and the raid showdown. Nikkas was all polite n shyt :russ:. I'm just realizing Be Seeing You is a phrase that basically means I win, stand down and live to fight another day.

In pacing, 2 was like Infinity War while 3 was like Endgame. This is a series that would probably be fun to marathon.

I had some issues with it. I thought it peaked really early. I didn't care for the adjudicator stuff. And sometimes it went a little too far with comedy at times. I also thought the motorcycle fight in the trailer would have been way better and longer. Also some spotty CGI at times with animal stuff. The final fight setting felt too similar to the mirror fight in 2

Speaking of foils, what happened to Common? I thought he wasn't dead. Did I miss that? :wtf:

Yeah he's still alive, but I believe scheduling conflicts kept him from being in this one.

The mirror fight in two was just an homage and a stylistic choice. Here it had significance. Like when Dacascos' character says I am you, the whole thing was John basically looking face-to-face with his murderous side. It signified John's re-disavowal of his past life and that violence-for-violence's/money's sake lifestyle. It was like he was literally fighting his evil side, hence him replying in the negative when Dacascos was saying he'd get back up and what-not; he was finally putting it to rest.

I knew this shyt was gonna be brutal from the start after the library scene and already needing to get stitched up before the bounty was even active :wow:


Wick went through all that torture just to get betrayed, shot up and fall from that hotel :wow: But I guess you can say that's his fault, he coulda killed Winston like he was suppose to :francis:

I hope he gets a bionic finger or something for the next one lol, I don't want him to miss a finger.....

Loved the supporting cast.

Loved the Casablanca and desert scenes, shyt was beautiful :wow:

I lowkey wanted more Halle Berry, she was beasting with those dogs.

And yeah I thought the Pidegon King dude was dead too, they sliced buddy up like lunch meat.

Can't wait til the next one. We need at least 5 of in this series to complete the story :mjgrin:
