    I felt it was the best of the series! How often can you say that about a third part of a series? Just an amazing pace they kept up with the entire movie. Man, what an amazing series. I'm not a big movie guy, but this series is just absolutely awesome. What did you Gurus think?

    it must be good.....

    Lionsgate's John Wick: Chapter 3 earned around $2 million yesterday for a new $113 million 13-day domestic gross. That positions the $75 million Keanu Reeves sequel for a $115 million two-week domestic total, putting it ahead of all of Reeves' non-Matrix movies save for Speed ($121 million in 1994) and Something's Gotta Give ($124 million in 2003).

    Loved the action totally spot on but not as good as the first two. Not really a fan of finding out more about the high table and although the women playing the investigator was amazing, a potential movie stealer but yeah the back ground the deeper explanations it's bordering on being a little bit silly. If you have an issue or a problem you pull out some coin, or symbol or emblem and suddenly it is fixed or has some deeper meaning. The charm of the first and a little less the second was that their were signs of a bigger thing but we got a tiny little look at the surface and this movie went a tad too far with showing what lay beneath that surface. Yes it may give some clarity and drive to the story arc but I am still not sold on it being needed.

    My god that fight scene with Hallie Berry and the dogs was awesome. That'll teach Bron.

    Then again given this movie released two weeks after End Game the fact it is doing as well as it is shows just how good the movie really is and it is 100% deserved.

    Great action movie. They don't make them like that anymore.

    (I always wanted to say that.)

    2 was sleep inducing. It's because there really is no plot to care about, you know he's going to go videogame mode on hundreds of people and that grows tiresome. Some nice environments though and Keanu seems to be a top bloke IRL, I just don't think really succeeds in getting a rage going on. It's as if part of his diet includes Valium.

    I would have imagined you guys would be in perm movie thread talking about, well movies :).

    I loved John Wick, 2 was not as good as the first mind you, but hopefully 3 will kick that up a notch.

    I saw it on my birthday, and the theater chain gave me a free popcorn. :)

    The action sequences were plentiful, varied, and top-notch. Haley Barry looked like she must have been gifted to start with, and then trained her ass off, so she was actually a welcome addition with the considerable role she had in the film. Her acting and her lines were also very good. The writers didn't short change her.

    The plot was just there to laugh at, though every character was well placed, and decently drawn. The cast was top notch and sparkling with vitality.

    The second unit director was at the top of their game. I'm looking forward to re-watching all of that, and it was a pleasure to see such non-cgi generated action up on the screen.

    The quality of the display was impeccable, and this is going to look beautiful when it's released on 4k blu ray.

    For the movie fans among us, there are two distinct references I noted in John Wick 3

    1) Keanu says his famous line from the Matrix "Guns, lots of guns"
    2) He builds an old Western Revolver from various parts lying around -- this is a direct reference to the Gun Shop scene in "The Good, the bad and the ugly"

    Overall great film, I would say 3rd was better than the 2nd.

    Also his use of slugs with the shotgun... pure perfection.

    2 wasn't good because Ruby Rose is the worst "actress" ever and having an Australian Female Lesbian as a scary assassin doesn't work.

    I remember her, she was like 100 lbs soaking wet. It's like yeah you are going to go hand to hand with a dude that is double your weight and could throw you around like a doll.
