Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) by Moviemitch96 — 17 May 2019

The 'John Wick' films are some of, if not, the coolest, most intense, and expertly choreographed action films I've seen! Having highly enjoyed the previous two films, I was definitely looking forward to this third outing.

Keanu Reeves is just as awesome as ever! Can't praise the guy enough! And while it offers the same over-the-top crazy action that's come to be expected, I have to say that this one seemed to really expect me to suspend my disbelief more times than I could count.

Characters in this film that very much should've died on numerous occasions somehow survive and defy death unexplainably to the point where it became ridiculous and I absolutely could not suspend my disbelief about any of it! (And this wasn't as near as big of an issue in the first two films.

) The ending also felt rushed and half-baked and just begs for a sequel, which I'm honestly not sure I'm ready for given how this film made the whole premise of this franchise wear quite thin in my opinion.

Overall, the action sequences are still undeniably impressive and Keanu's still great, but there's a fine line between suspending disbelief and completely implausible scenarios, and this film crossed that line a surprising amount, so if you can get past that, it's still a fun action flick, but it's definitely the weakest installment yet to me mainly for those reasons.
