Added 2023-03-18 07:11:42 +0000 UTCWOAHHH!!! Why do you still cheer for him? You do right?! I can't explain it. This was A LOT! I was entertained and grossed out at the same time... Do I want to watch 3 still? Yes, yes I do.

No love story. No significant back story. Instead, a thin story. The stylized action/well-performed violence makes the movie.

2024-02-12 07:15:35 +0000 UTCquestion to assassin baddassary for killing people. Rambo (John Rambo), the Equalizer (robert McCall), Taken (Bryan Mills), Kill Bill (the bride), Mad Max (mel gibson), The long kiss goodnight (samantha Caine),

2023-03-22 10:04:30 +0000 UTCJohn Wick 3 for Easter would be awesome. Or just something cool for April 9th. Its my birthday.
David RedEagle
2023-03-21 05:06:27 +0000 UTCWell now you obviously have to continue with Chapter 3 right? And no this was way better than the first.

2023-03-21 04:40:34 +0000 UTCStill remember when this movie came out on Valentine’s Day weekend. Took my then girlfriend obviously now ex to see this instead of the new fifty shades of grey movie that came out on the same day lol probably that’s why she dumped me lol she still loved the movie though lol
The King In The North
2023-03-21 01:32:03 +0000 UTCI actually feel bad when I know she's watching something that will be a hard watch. District 9 is a great example.
Martin Carter
2023-03-20 16:43:20 +0000 UTCI'd double my monthly pledge for that.

2023-03-20 12:01:09 +0000 UTCA Cassie watch of The Wire would be too good to be true.
Mike LL
2023-03-20 06:28:33 +0000 UTCIt's super fascinating to see Cassie's reaction to this type of movie. The sheer look of horror on her face at the gratuitous violence that made me smile, made rewatching this movie all the more enjoyable. I'm probably more excited to see her reaction to Chapter 3 than I am the remaining episodes of The Last Of Us, and that's saying something!

2023-03-20 02:31:00 +0000 UTCI really, really recommend the Fantastic Fest film festival for fans of genre cinema. It’s outrageously good fun held at my favorite movie theater in the world, the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX. My best theater-going experiences are all centered around that theater.
Just Plain Bob
2023-03-19 21:50:51 +0000 UTCI don’t know. I suspect it was because it was an unknown franchise and they were taking a bit of a gamble with it and didn’t want to risk spending more money. But that’s pure speculation on my part. The year before they had premiered Man of Thai Chi, a film that Reeves starred in and directed. I liked it a lot. But it bombed at the box office. Hollywood has a short memory for success but the memory of an elephant for failures, so I suspect that played a part. Again, pure speculation on my part.
Just Plain Bob
2023-03-19 21:47:16 +0000 UTCthat. is. awesome!! why did they not do any advertising?
Cassie
2023-03-19 21:36:04 +0000 UTClove this!!
Cassie
2023-03-19 21:33:52 +0000 UTCI mean, yeah - Mad Max: Fury Road is such a conceptual piece as a film, you don't even have to have seen any of the previous films in the franchise in order to enjoy it or figure out relatively quickly what's going on. I do love it more than the other films in the franchise, but for completely different reasons than any good points I might pick out about the original films. lol I will say that this is one of the best acting performances I've ever seen out of Keanu, like ever - so that's something.
Rue
2023-03-19 20:35:26 +0000 UTCTrue dat. For my money, HBO's best show
Dave Sees Movies
2023-03-19 18:25:59 +0000 UTCIt also has Idris Elba and a 15 year old Michael B. Jordan.
Tim Raths
2023-03-19 17:40:25 +0000 UTCHell yeah. Part 3 is a masterpiece. Although I hear part 4 is epic.
Philip Davetas
2023-03-19 17:22:29 +0000 UTCHey buddy! Here is Cassie's letterboxed, most of what she's seen off channel is here: https://letterboxd.com/pib1/films/by/name/
Jon Johns
2023-03-19 16:03:03 +0000 UTCIf we're trying to get Cassie to consider great Lance Reddick performances, ya can't go wrong with "The Wire." Of course, you need 60 hours to watch it, so maybe take it in chunks.
Dave Sees Movies
2023-03-19 12:35:41 +0000 UTCwell speaking for myself, as an action movie afficionado, they're very enjoyable due to the spectacular fight scenes. The movies were made by stunt people, and they know how to make a fun action film. I mean, Mad Max Fury Road is a fantastic film, but its also very loose on story. Thats the point though.
Armchair Wizard
2023-03-19 06:48:06 +0000 UTCThanks Tyler.
Ike
2023-03-19 05:53:10 +0000 UTCYeah, I'm honestly surprised that it's made it as far as it has in terms of sequels - I guess everybody was just so hyped that Keanu was acting again, they just wanted to have him do as much as he possibly can before he retires for real-real. It's not that the story's bad? It's really not. It's just very, very... thin. I think the most interesting thing about the entire franchise is the whole secret world of international assassins that have this exclusive means of paying each other for things, places to stay, doctors, rules, etc. Fascinating shit, but they don't put enough of it into the universe to make it anything more than "watch Keanu Matrix the shit out of all the things for 2 hours." Which - fair enough, but again - that's some thiiiiiiiiiiin plot.
Rue
2023-03-19 03:38:02 +0000 UTCIsn’t it a Shelby GT Mustang. Shelby from Ford v Ferrari
Sean Stuart
2023-03-19 03:30:55 +0000 UTCThis is definitely an unpopular opinion but outside of the first movie I don’t care about this franchise at all.
Alex Gorell
2023-03-19 01:18:53 +0000 UTCYour reaction to Fishburne (Morpheus) showing up was perfect matching how the rest of us reacted to that scene.
Tringard
2023-03-19 00:20:55 +0000 UTCFYI; The High Table is a Deep State myth. According to the myth the High Table is where elected representatives from the Order of the Black Sun and the Order of the Dragon families come together yearly to elect their leader, The Pindar. According to the myth, the elders from the Black Sun Clan and the Dragon Families run the whole world; and The Pindar is one of the only people who can overrule a member of the High Table.
Uncle Phoenix
2023-03-18 23:27:20 +0000 UTCNo, that's the next one, Parabellum.
Tyler Foster
2023-03-18 23:24:18 +0000 UTCNo.Thats the next one.
Gary Smith
2023-03-18 22:43:43 +0000 UTCIs this the one with Halle Berry?
Ike
2023-03-18 22:35:19 +0000 UTCWatching all the killings. Cassie: No, stop it. It’s too much. The rest of us: awesome headshot and tactical reloading. More more more.
Michael Lynch
2023-03-18 22:14:08 +0000 UTCCassie's hair is always nice. Some people are just blessed like that. She probably wakes up looking like that. 😋
Rick Williams
2023-03-18 22:09:18 +0000 UTCYou thought John Wick 2 was a little violent? Maybe. 😁 Great reaction. You don't like the squishy noises? You had the same issue watching 300. You asked why must he shoot them in the head after shooting them in the heart? To be sure they are done. Double tap. One in the chest. One in the head. That's normally good enough to make sure they are no longer a threat. Now on to John Wick 3. Preferably in less than a year and a half this time. How about next week? That's good for me. 😉 Until next time. Be good.
Rick Williams
2023-03-18 22:06:45 +0000 UTCPS to my previous reply: Just finished the first episode and it was awesome! Can’t wait to listen to the rest. Thanks yet again!
Just Plain Bob
2023-03-18 21:56:49 +0000 UTCI think we'll need a lot more comfort blankets for John Wick 3
Woody G
2023-03-18 21:31:56 +0000 UTCThank you so much for bringing this to my attention. Had never heard of it but I just downloaded every episode to my phone. He was a tremendous actor and taken too soon. Can’t wait to listen to this series. I’m a sucker for radio dramas (I have several hundred MP3s of everything from The Shadow to The Hermit’s Cave) and this seems to fit right in my sweet spot. Thanks again!
Just Plain Bob
2023-03-18 21:07:51 +0000 UTCHe and Hallie Berry trained at Taran Tactical. It is out on Youtube. He and Berry really put in the honest work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xii9_oWQ7HY
Matt Mabry
2023-03-18 20:21:15 +0000 UTCI was trying to avoid a spoiler with that, but YES, dog lovers will be impressed.
Richard Bourne
2023-03-18 19:18:02 +0000 UTCLove the first film. The sequels not so much.
Odd Thomas
2023-03-18 19:17:13 +0000 UTCYes, looking forward to it!
R Harper
2023-03-18 19:12:37 +0000 UTCI can see what you're saying, but by that logic the Mission Impossible series should have been eight months between each film reaction the IM films were knocked out like clockwork.
R Harper
2023-03-18 19:12:03 +0000 UTCAnd JW4 opens this week.
Steve Colletti
2023-03-18 19:11:34 +0000 UTCAnd the dogs! JW2 felt a bit too repetitious in places to me, especially John working his way through the museum.
Steve Colletti
2023-03-18 19:09:14 +0000 UTCI love the John Wick movies. They’re a wonderful update on the 70s revenge thriller. I used to attend the Fantastic Fest film festival in Austin each year. They usually have one or two world premieres during the course of the festival. In 2014, the movie they premiered was John Wick. There had been no tv advertising for the movie, no word of mouth or magazine articles. Just nothing to indicate the movie had even been made. And then, suddenly, they premiered the movie at Fantastic Fest. I was lucky enough to have a VIP badge that year and be able to attend the premiere. I still remember the young ladies going nuts when Keanu Reeves walked the very short red carpet they had set up in the lobby. Great experience.
Just Plain Bob
2023-03-18 19:06:30 +0000 UTCShe watched the first Wick movie almost two years ago. Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are more recent.
Tim Raths
2023-03-18 18:57:41 +0000 UTCAnd you want to watch #3 . . . What about Lethal Weapon 3 and 4? What about Die Hard 3? Considered by many fans and critics to be the best Die Hard. I'm all for John Wick 3 still think you need to clean house on movie series you've already started 👍
R Harper
2023-03-18 18:34:37 +0000 UTCThey spelled it out onscreen as Baba Yaga in the first movie. And Baba Yaga is mentioned in Antman by one of those guys working with Louis.
Mike LL
2023-03-18 18:20:09 +0000 UTCDid you know that John Wick's granddad was born in Finland? There is now a movie about him 😃😃 https://youtu.be/2NnPzpuU5ao
Björn Karlsson
2023-03-18 16:35:58 +0000 UTC"He speaks Russian, Italian...doesn't believe in lights." hahahaha, best reaction comment ever =D
Paul Ark
2023-03-18 16:12:59 +0000 UTCI believe she has seen those.
Tim Raths
2023-03-18 16:04:04 +0000 UTCLoved this movie. John Wick is like a one man version of DEVGRU.
Josh Phillips
2023-03-18 15:46:03 +0000 UTCIf you haven't already, can you watch the Ocean's trilogy?
LionBro
2023-03-18 15:35:58 +0000 UTCThat's my thinking as well, that the first has an emotional starting point and relatable arc that this assassin and crime underworld gets layered on as it goes as a fun garnish. After that it's this labyrinthine maze of rules and council's and terminology that feels like the snake eating it's tail of lore.
Choof
2023-03-18 14:37:46 +0000 UTCI'm gonna get tarred and feathered for this but I actually preferred this sequel more than the original. The mano a mano fight with Cassian (Common), John's selection of his tactical clothing and weapons, Italy and his dog lives. Also along with others... Rest in Peace Lance Reddick
Robin Craft
2023-03-18 13:12:10 +0000 UTCI will always remember Lance Reddick as Lt. Daniels on The Wire. RIP Mr. Reddick, it was a pleasure to have you.
Tim Raths
2023-03-18 13:06:44 +0000 UTCFinally John Wick Chapter 2 been waiting for this Hopefully John Wick Chapter 3 doesn't take as long get a reaction 😂😂 also R.I.P. Lance Reddick such a dope actor 🙏
Charles Briggs
2023-03-18 11:41:06 +0000 UTCPlus I think Cassie could handle the original. I think the 2003 remake is better than the original but it might be rough on Cassie.
William Bryan
2023-03-18 11:37:02 +0000 UTCI will always enjoy Charon saying "As always, it is a pleasure to have you with us again, Mr Wick." Rip Lance
EligiusXCVI
2023-03-18 10:52:51 +0000 UTCMy Lance Reddick recommendation for everyone is Batman Unburied on Spotify. It’s an old school radio drama where Batman’s family never died and he is a doctor and medical examiner for the police. Lance Reddick plays Thomas Wayne. It’s a tremendous performance and series. Very fresh take on Batman <3
djKENTO
2023-03-18 10:04:24 +0000 UTCOh especially the original. It uses smart editing and sound to make you think you’re seeing more than you are. Hooper was so smart when given a small budget.
djKENTO
2023-03-18 10:02:26 +0000 UTCLance Reddick brought a swagger and class to every project he was in including and especially John Wick films. RIP to a fantastic actor
Jyn Jilly
2023-03-18 09:12:05 +0000 UTCYou've literally made me insane. There, I'm insane. It was Babayaga. And Babaganoush is Arabic for Sweet Daddy or a dip made from eggplant.
Martin Carter
2023-03-18 09:04:41 +0000 UTCThe movie "Equilibrium" for another one where the main character can just kill everyone 😀 I'm not sure /why/ you asked, but there you go.
Planner
2023-03-18 09:01:34 +0000 UTCCassie, first your hair looks nice. Secondly, John Wick's car is a 1969 Ford Mustang, a classic muscle car.
Richard Bourne
2023-03-18 08:54:33 +0000 UTCI know, terrible. He was what, 61? At least his character had a larger part in JW3 and hopefully so in JW4,
Richard Bourne
2023-03-18 08:35:58 +0000 UTCGonna rewatch from Fringe now for some Lance Reddick and Anna Torv.
Christopher Smith
2023-03-18 08:32:48 +0000 UTCI'd like a tasting with something big for the end of the night. I also need two suits, one for day and one for night, Italian, two button, and tactical. LOL. Come on this is great stuff. You've got to watch three, if for nothing else they got Halle Berry on board and she trained for it with K Reeves. The guns and the shooting tactics are real.
Richard Bourne
2023-03-18 08:31:12 +0000 UTCI'll say it again watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Oct. You can handle it now
William Bryan
2023-03-18 08:17:57 +0000 UTCRIP Lance Reddick! You were a real one!
djKENTO
2023-03-18 08:01:11 +0000 UTCIsn't March Pedro Pascal month with finishing TBBF, watching The Last of Us and Mando S3? 😃 For me, this is one of those movie series where the first one was outstanding, but I have mixed feelings about the sequels. In the first one, as a viewer, you immediately had an emotional connection to Wick's character thanks to the tragic backstory about his wife and the dog and you could understand his anger, grief and rampage. Because of that it sorts of had a heart&soul. This is something that I feel is entirely missing from the sequels. Those are essentially just wall-to-wall action (but good one, I admit that), and diving into a more and more crazy and unplausible assassin world.
Gábor Árki
2023-03-18 07:31:04 +0000 UTCHey I was surprised you decided to watch JW 2 I didn't think you was crazy about the last one. Also why wouldn't we cheer for him he's an awesome character
