Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) by Trineo99 — 18 May 2019

Just saw John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and this helps make the John Wick trilogy one of the greatest action trilogies’ of all time. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum takes place right after the second movie where John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, has killed a member of the high table and has a $14 million bounty on his head.

Now he has to prove why everybody calls him baba yaga (boogeyman) as he fights to survive. First of all, I will say that this film has the best action scenes out of all three films. Not a lot of these scenes though had one shot takes but honestly I’m fine with that because they are still really entertaining to watch.

I honestly have no clue how director, Chad Stahelski, can keep upping up these action shots but somehow he can and has. Keanu Reeves is still amazing as John Wick and just dominates it as this role. Although I didn’t like what they did to his character that just comes out of nowhere and doesn’t fit his character.

I’m not the biggest fan of Halle Berry, who plays Sofia, but in this role she won me over. Especially because I learned that she actually did a lot of her stunts herself and went through the training.

I will say that the middle section of this movie is really slow and pretty boring at times. During the middle section it slows down to a snail pace and it feels like it. It was at this point in time that I was considering lowering the review but then it redeemed itself with the finally.

There is a subplot that ok I understand why it had to happen but in the end it wasn’t really necessary and just came in at awkward times. The editing in this film was awkward and how it transitioned from one scene to the next.

There was no smooth transition it just awkwardly changed scenes. The music in this film is still great though and if anybody needs and epic soundtrack to work out to this soundtrack is perfect for that.

I do wish that in one scene they included music. In the end, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is a great film for the first bit and ending but the middle section loses it for me. It does end with an idea for a fourth movie and I hope it will happen.

I give John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum a 9.5/10.
