Something Wick This Way Comes

although how he met his end was eeeeegh

I had to look up who that was, but yeah, that was a hell of a first action sequence. Actually, the movie suffered a bit for being frontloaded with a few of its standout sequences.

Mr. Wick needs to adjust his library etiquette, though.

please never reshelve your books at the library! even if you didn't check it out, the desk still needs it! why? well i'll tell ya in this thread!

I’m pretty sure this movie is satire and was gonna make a joke about it being Starship Troopers with a dog (“Starship Poopers”) but I googled it and that was already a Simpsons joke and an old one too

loved this and the ending action was very close to doing the Keanu finds new strength, gestures with hand bit but he rallied without obvious posing

appreciate they did no obvious “this other guy loves death, John Wick wants life” dialogue

I don’t think anything is satire as much as it is a continuous commentary and homage to convention and predecessors! A lot of the martial arts sequences referenced were humorous or ott and they play well to that

Many thoughts but mostly how much I was not expecting Kyary Pamyu Pamyu to show up on the soundtrack. Almost like they literally googled 'ninja music' and this was the first thing that showed up.

other than that, I'm just very, very, very glad that this franchise and Keanu Reeves found each other.

spoiler-light, incomplete list of things I greatly enjoyed in this one, in no order

dogs
horses
knife museum
Halle Berry
Mark Dacascos
Lance Reddick
all that glass
"I get it"

otm

also in this movie, John Wick utters a couple of words in Bahasa, instantly killing two guys... and the entire Bahasa-speaking audience I was with. (Hey guys, if you haven't seen The Raid, you should!)

I only just realized who Dacascos is and tbh I love that he was cast as the lead baddie in a huge movie, and that he's even older than Keanu (and similarly ageless)

and yeah seeing the Raid guys in this was a treat as well

Re-posting my Kyary link since it didn't work the first time:

The least of the three but only really cause the last 10 minutes is a bit enh

I thought this by the best of three by miles and wonder how they will try to top it.

The previous two really don't prepare you for how violent this is.

Halle Berry and her dogs were great.

Actually wasn't too bothered about seeing it but my brother offered to take me to cinema and I'm really glad I went. Will definitely be there for the next film.

Wonder how far this series will go and will we get John Wick in space. How far will he have to travel?

Funny how a guy is clearly killed in the train station and nobody cares. Supports the feeling of this being a cartoon world where assassins could be everywhere.

Wonder how far this series will go and will we get John Wick in space

We wondered aloud about how in the hell they could ever "top" this, and this very idea was raised.

release the Geoff Darrow poster, you cowards!

Saw it today

I love the opening, him going from neon times square to ye olde pistol/gun/knife emporium to fkn horse stables ...i love how much they love juxtaposing modern vs antique so much

keanu on horseback is everything bcs he can actually ride (of course he can he can do everything)

motorbike swordfight was dope af. do we know if that was keanu’s bike brand? i meant to look that up.

halle berry & her rad dogs were RAD AS FUCK those dogs flying through the air was awesome, such amazing trainers they must have
angry halle is good halle.

the GLASS room fascinated me, because of the different strengths. it’s kinda genius in the design, creating tension just from not knowing when/if it will shatter & when

i still love first movie the best for sheer simplicity of plot & economy of dialogue but they could make 50 of these, i’ll love em all if Keanu keeps doing his thing

Yup! Plot’s not as trim as the first, obviously, but I think the action scenes were the best of the series

motorbike swordfight was dope af

chopped-off arm blocking up one of the motorbikes' wheels was one of those moments I thought my brain made up as I was watching it

yeah that was insane

Things I liked a lot:

• Keanu getting horses to kick people to death
• The ninjas-on-motorcycles scene (even though it was stolen straight from The Villainess, which is also amazing)
• The dogs
• Knife fight in the weapons warehouse

Things I found genuinely upsetting:

• The dude getting knifed in the eye in slow motion
• Keanu shotgunning people's heads off

Minor quibbles:

• Part 2 ended on a sunny afternoon in Central Park; Part 3 begins in a massive black-sky downpour
• The actor playing "The Elder" was too young to be playing someone called "The Elder"
• How are you gonna stage a fight in a room full of cauldrons of molten gold and not dump one goon into the molten gold? Boo, I say

Keanu getting horses to kick people to death

When they went into this stable I thought to myself "it's too bad they're probably just gonna fight around the horses and not, like, have Keanu get them to kick them" and then he did it a bunch of times

The dude getting knifed in the eye in slow motion

I don't remember this being literally in slow motion, just agonizingly paced compared to the rest of the sequence. But yeah even for a movie like this, explicit ocular trauma seems like a bridge too far for some reason

nah its all great imo

new & exciting ways to off ppl

Italian horror movies love eye stabbins

we’re in a nu-eye stab era, transitioned right there from the recent eye gouge era

• Keanu getting horses to kick people to death

this was hilarious. also killing someone with a book which seemed like a particularly Keanu-specific way to off someone.

lol someone actually did it https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Wick&type=revision&diff=897955582&oldid=897910397

JW4 confirmed for May 2021

i was hoping to have a good time at this and i didn't really, it was fine

theater was pretty dead, though, like five people and i was the only person who laughed at some of the rare funny bits. maybe with a liver audience it would have been more fun.

liver audience?

live-er

The audience was rather pancreatic

show some spleen ffs

it was fine

the gall!

it was fine is the new it shouldn't have been made

a fine post

I guess people in high places saw my poll clowning on the awfulness of videogame adaptations because Wick writer/director is apparently filming a Just Cause movie and now I'm actually excited about a videogame adaptation.

oh

my

god

becky

wicky

the word is "livelier"

man u said it

livelier and deadlier

what is fishburne at i love it
