Mox Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 The embargo lifted yesterday. Unsurprisingly, it's been described as "glorious", "epic", and "badass". Very good sign, especially since there were concerns about the long runtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 That runtime does bother me. I don't see why a John Wick movie should be close to three hours... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 The acclaim is high. IGN: 10/10 RT: 93% IMDB: 9.2 Metacritic: 78 Jeremy Jahns: Awesometacular Chris Stuckmann: "Best of the sequels, simply wonderful" My hype is through the roof right now.

minutemancl Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Oh boy. I'm excited for this one. It has Donnie Yen and Hiroyuki Sanada in it, and Cecep Rahman and Yayan Ruhian from The Raid movies are supposedly coming back, so how can it not be the best John Wick sequel?? I hope they find a way to leverage a spin-off or something with some young, up-and-coming action stars. All these guys are getting old. Keanu is almost 60, Donnie Yen is almost 60, and the guys from The Raid are in their 50s as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Everyone needs to go see this. This is not a stream movie. This is a theater movie. There is no longer a debate. This is the greatest action series ever. Edited March 24, 2023 by Mox 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I saw it last night, movie was f*cking amazing. They couldn't have ended on a higher note for this series i Spoiler f they tried. I'm not kidding when I say everything and everyone was pushed to their max potential in this. With a near 3 hour run time, I thought there was almost no way it wasn't gonna drag in places, but this movie pulled it off with a well-crafted story that ventures into uncharted territory for the franchise in certain places. And the fight scenes, holy shyt. The fights in this put The Raid's to shame, they were that damn good. My jaw was on the floor the whole time, them numchucks, man. My mind was blown how they managed to pull off all them stunts and still kept the stakes which somehow only got higher as the film progressed with John finding new creative ways to take out goons from set piece to set piece. Even Bowery King steals the show with some unexpectedly badass dialog, the "you gotta look good for when you get married or buried" line got a nice smirk from me in the theater. You can tell everything was stacked in a nice neat little row for this to be the finale and boy did it go out with a bang. And I LOVED the Spoiler fake out at the end. Only John Motherf*cking Wick can come up with that. 4.5/5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 if I had to pick between the terminator or John wick to hunt me down. I'm picking the terminator. I'm really liking the wold building in this series. I know their is a spinoff and TV show on the way. I can see a video game coming too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 A lot of worlds and genres they can explore. they can make a film around the "no name" guy. maybe he's former military. they can lean into those 80s action "rambo" type films and/or tap into the Blaxploitation genre. That could be a hit. also would like to see a film about the Japanese crime world featured in this. feel like that's a lock with how that part of the film ended.
