Haven't seen the third movie but one guy fighting many for two hours pretty much sounds like the first two shows as well. Does get a bit tired after a while. I think two is enough for me.

I have only seen the first one, isn’t the whole point of John Wick to be one guy fighting many guys? What were you expecting trips to Home Depot or a stroll along the beach?

Seen the first two so I'll have to watch the 3rd just because, but what about the dog already, the one he rescued at the end of the first?

4th one should be better
We enjoyed it. Nothing terribly exciting but good action.

Haven’t seen it yet but I did catch some YouTube footage of Halle Berry training at Taran Tactical with Keanu running her timer, I’m thinking she shouldn’t have a much of a problem with stalkers if she opts to ccw.

I have very little respect for Taran Tactical.
The general public cannot afford their prices. They cater do Hollywood's need to have actors look like they know what they are doing.
A lot of the actors they train (like Matt Damon) make millions with their movies portraying gun toting heros....yet are very vocal in public preaching how the general public shouldn't have access to firearms.
Nope...no respect at all.
Now on the other hand...Keeanu Reeves is very vocal in his pro gun views.
Will always see his films.

Would you turn down a client if they were anti-gun? Some anti-gun people drink Coke, yet that in no way influences my opinion of Coke.
I also don't dislike Rolls Royce because they cater to the wealthy....
Didn't know that about Reeves, thanks for the info.

So you are comparing a company that exists solely from the proceeds of firearms to two companies, neither one of has ever had anything to do with firearms or the use of?
Okay!

Stop and think for a moment whether the film will inspire more gun sales than the actors political stance will drive gun control. I'm of the opinion that the film will drive more sales than the actors personal opinions will diminish them. And besides, who are you to say who Taran can and can't accept money from? Those big studio's pay him a lot for his services which in turn increases his fame which in turn increases his clientele and billing rates. I'm happy for the guy but I guess some people just want to concentrate on the negative....

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. Whatever, would it make it more "logical" for you if I said a gym owner let clients in who drank Coke? I'm with Caber on this one, good for him. I'd rather a pro-gun outfit like Taran train an anti-gun actor vs nothing happening or getting training from an anti-gun outfit, if that were somehow possible.
You didn't answer my question, would you turn down a client who is anti-firearm? A bit of reluctance to answer the question leads me to suspect that the answer is no, probably have worked for them in the past.

Watched it on my Amazon account. Wick was ok. Wick #2, #3 bad. Wick probably kills 250 people each movie. That is #2/ minute. Notice he has all his “matrix”, buddies in #3. Rate them 1/2 🍿 popcorn.

I agree. Enjoyed the first one, the next two pretty much sucked.

I would agree with that. Pretty much how I described it to a friend.

What were you expecting? Something to be nominated at the Oscars?
I thought they were awesome, but I went into them looking for cheap entertainment.
Real world is horrific these days, more stock needs to be put into cheap entertainment movies like this (and Rambo, Expendables, Etc, Etc).
And any movie where I have, or can buy the same gun is a win haha.

The library fight scene was awesome.
Keanu actually can shred the range which is awesome. Not just another poser. He could probably hang with even the best 3 gunners in competition.
Taran Butler is a world champ multi gunner, and based in California theres no doubt that his main clients are actors. The John Wick series really helped him. Hell even Joe Rogan was out there learning to shoot.

As has been pointed out, that's the basic plot of all 3 John Wick movies.
I thought it was ok. Like the other 2 it's a shoot'em up, I don't expect Gone with the Wind or Over the Hedge...............I expect bullets and blood and lots of fighting and it delivers that.
If you're looking for something deep, the John Wick movies will definitely not be enjoyable to you.

Spoiler!
But, at the end of three, what happened there? Did Wick and Winston have an agreement in which Wick would help get Winston reinstated and then Winston would "kill" him to get the High Table off his trail. Or did Winston use Wick and then just flat out try to kill him? Surely Wick had a vest on for the shots, but the falling off a building was pretty convincing. Winston must have used him, but if that's the case, why didn't Winston just kill him at the beginning as the High Table would have reinstated him if he had done so? Is the fourth movie going to be Wick going after Winston or the High Table, both, neither, does Wick, who has traditionally gone solo, teaming up with the Bowery King, does Tick Tock Man have a more prominent role. So many questions that have absolutely no bearing on my life.
