Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) by Meritcoba — 09 Dec 2019

I stopped watching this after ten minutes. The big problem with the movie is that they didn't even attempt to make it look right. One of the earlier chase sequences has Wick run down a street. He then gets hit by one car and immediate by a second. Without anything to show for. The people in the cars then let him get up and run into a nearby stable before giving chase. How nice of them.

The people inside the stable then react like gun wielding goons are a daily occurrence you do not need to worry about. Probably they have seem too much Wick already. Next Wick takes a horse and gallops down a street while being hunted down by two motorcycles. Where do these guy comes from? Well, they were visible watching Wick going in and then exciting that stable. How did they know he would be there? How did they know he would come out? Who cares.

Next we see clearly that the cars to either side to the chase scene are all parked and have their headlights on. Every scene feels fake. Like when someone is surrounded by five thugs who all wait in turn to get a whipping. It has been done to death. Try something else.

The first movie felt like a graceful dance, this feels like a drunken swagger.
