If he wants to do it, seems like a no brainer for a movie executive.

I still need to watch the third one. The second one was a drop off from the first, but still good, violent, mindless fun. My favorite aspect of it is how the non-assassin "normal" people just quietly keep walking while killers shoot the hell out of everything around them; sort of like NPCs from a video game. I have expected one of them to tell Wick that he used to be a professional killer, but then he took an arrow to the knee.

Come on dude. Give it another go. I admit it didn't meet expectations the first time I watched Wick 2. However, I must say it has improved with subsequent watchings.

I haven't watched any of the John Wick movies. I've been interested but didn't want to jump into 3 without seeing the first two

Yeah they’ve slowly gotten worse as they’ve progressed.
2 and 3 are damn good mindless action flicks though. |

I dug all 3 of them (filled with great great action /fight scenes), so bring on chapter 4 & 5!

They were entertaining however like a lot of movies and sequels, they have gotten a bit repetitive and predictable.
The first was the best, IMO. However if they continue to make money, they will continue to make them. |

I don't understand the craze for this series. The first one was pretty decent, but after that they lost all sense of pacing and build up. A good action film requires pacing and build up for the action sequences to feel impactful and consequential. 2 and 3 are pure shit. Not much different from your typical Michael Bay romp (the choreography is better I suppose).
Good action films are hard to come by these days. If I'm craving action I go back and rewatch the first two Terminator films, or Aliens, or the Mad Max films, or the first two Predators, etc. Last edited by Mahomes_Is_God; 08-08-2020 at 02:58 PM.. |

We've got to maintain some level of common sense. You don't get to bash John Wick if you're praising the second Predator. There is no universe where the second Predator is better than any of the John Wick series to date. |
