re: John Wick 3 (Spoiler Thread)

Watched last night.

It you completely turn your ‘wtf’ meter off, it’s mindless fun.

I agree a few of the fight scenes went too long, but the throwing knives leading into the horse kicking fight that opened the movie was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

It got a little too unbelievable how many people were willing to help John despite knowing the consequences...and then those consequences not billing fatal in the end. The High Table seems to be very forgiving for such a fearsome bunch.

Not sure if I love or hate how the sushi chef villain became comic relief. He lost a lot of respect from me as a serious threat once he became so much of a fanboy.

Abdicators voice bothered me. She sounded like an MTV VJ.

Also, after awhile, the ability to sustain that much damage and keep going as if you’re not hurt at all gets a bit ludicrous. End scene, a body stumbling into a glass case shatters it, but a hitting it forcefully with a sword only cracks it a bit...lol .But like I said, turn your mind off and it’s fun.

The plot of this movie is silly. John Wick one was much tighter and a much better movie overall. Revenge and not caring if you die because you have nothing to lose is a much better motivation than ‘I want to live so I can remember her’. That’s just dumb.
