Although I enjoyed it, it dragged and felt like it was rehashing old ground. It's the best of the three. The second one is a masterpiece though, so maybe my David / MMA action film bias is taking over or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yeah that was excellent but I now have to watch all of The Matrix movies, I now know why I was seeing so many people rewatching them on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted May 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) What a fuck-tonne of fun that was. My brother and I went to see it last night, possibly the first time we've been to the cinema together since Fury I think, and we didn't half pick the right movie to break that duck! We were like giddy children again. It was like that feeling of watching action films for the first time when you're a kid and everything is just so captivating as you finally realise what you were missing when the Rugrats and Hong Kong Phooey was on the tele instead. John Wick. What an excellent man. Edited May 16, 2019 by WeeAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this because of Laurence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves? I just don't get this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members seph Posted May 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2019 "Guns. Lots of guns." Spoken almost in the exact tone as Neo. Seeing that it's obvious they want a ch.4 greenlit, i can has Hugo Weaving cameo pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 16, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2019 No, because he's one of the worst actors ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 His neice tho 😍 But yeah as Seph said and there seemed to be a couple of other nods and even a trailer named "Bullet Time". Chad's been talking about a Matrix 4 as well in the past week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam O'Rourke Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Since I don't know how to hide spoilers, I'll just simply say I watched it yesterday and it was ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep81 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Gotta give credit to The dogs. The scene with Berry/Wick and the dogs was fantastic. They just wouldn't let go lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted May 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2019 Just saw it a few hours ago, just about gone back to normal. It is superb. 1 is still my favourite as the story is so short, simple and to the point, but I love the universe they have now created. The knives scene is just rediculous and that sound. God. The horse stable scene, the fights in the hotel. Everything was just great. Another thing, it was pretty packed so it was a good audience, but there was a lot of laughing throughout, more then most recent comedies I have scene. Just complete balls to the wall from start to finish. I do have one gripe though. How the fuck does John Wick survive being shot off of the hotel, hitting a stairwell and then falling another 30ft or so to solid ground? Don't give me just because he is John Wick, because thats not good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 That's one of the most fun experiences I've had in a cinema. If you're an action film fan (or enjoy spending money doing fun things) definitely go see this. I'm not sure where to rank it out of the three because it's a slightly different vibe to the other two, which was important otherwise they risked becoming a bit if a self parody. I'd definitely say it's funnier than the other two. Anyway, some specific praise: Indeed the scene with the bloody knifes is a high point in the trilogy. Everyone in the cinema was giddy watching the whole thing unfold. Flawless. I thought the ending and set up was brilliant. They've created so many interesting stories to tell (and shoot up) in the next one. They did a tremendous job giving us enough of what we love about the other two without sinking it with some world building and backstory. Instead the additional fleshing of their world added so much intrigue. The dog love is such a brilliant angle to this all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'm worried about the dog references. I don't want to see another dog death, I'm a big old wimp when to comes to animals in film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
