I didn't like the 2nd one. It was too ridiculous. First one was very good.
LOL and the first one was not ridiculous? These movies are fun action movies nothing more. I like both of them and it was amazing to also watch the training Reeves did to get ready for the movie.

The first one was tethered to reality. If you want to make him a super hero, go all the way and make him a super hero. I'm probably in the minority, but I found some of the stuff eye rolling, just going one by one and never getting shot. I was barely watching by the end of the movie and was instead looking at my phone.

What? He was shot and stabbed in the second movie. I am not saying it's realistic overall but the actually try with some stuff like how he constantly reloads his guns which you virtually never see in these action movies.

Halle Berry is in it, shot from the movie in what looks like one of the Continental Hotels.

Keanu Reeves’ sharp-dressed hitman ended 2017’s John Wick: Chapter 2 with a $14 million contract out on his life — which is exactly how John Wick: Chapter 3 (out May 17) begins. “The third chapter is literally connected to 2 and starts with John Wick on the run,” Reeves tells EW. “It goes crazy from there.”
Some of that craziness involves Sofia (Halle Berry), a new character Wick meets in the Middle East. “She has a past with John,” says Reeves. “I end up going to find her to see if she can help me.”
Sofia has two Belgian Malinois dogs, continuing the tradition of canine-centric plotlines in a film series whose first entry, 2014’s John Wick, featured Reeves’ character going on a killing spree after the murder of his four-legged friend. “Whereas John’s puppy was symbolic of his wife, Halle’s two dogs are symbolic of someone she’s lost,” says director Chad Stahelski, adding that they developed an action sequence around her “canine assistants…. They work very well tactically.”
Other newcomers include Mark Dacascos and Asia Kate Dillon, who play characters associated with the criminal council known as the High Table. There’s also Hollywood legend Anjelica Huston as “someone who was responsible for [Wick’s] upbringing and his protection,” says Stahelski, who calls Chapter 3 “a little bit of an origin story.” The filmmaker thinks the movie’s death count will “land slightly north” of the previous film’s.
Stahelski reveals that he would happily make a fourth John Wick film if the audience enjoys this movie, but he isn’t counting his chickens yet. “We did the first one and were like, ‘They’re going to laugh at us,’” he says. “This one, I’m already looking for janitorial jobs.”

Well that certainly lowers expectations and makes part III questionable at best

Berry is overrated and tends to drag down most movies she is in
I'm looking at that picture of Berry and the pooches in the hotel and reading your comment, and I'm thinking "this dude is f***ing crazy." No offense intended.

I enjoyed the first two, but I don't even remember them. Yes, that sounds weird, but in my mind they're just fun, generic action flicks.

Plot: Headshot headshot. Throws gun, avoids ten bullets somehow. Grabs new gun, headshot headshot headshot. Just saved you all $10+.

You’re welcome.

I don't think they've ever pretended that these films are anything more than popcorn fare.

I never mind a film that knows what it is and sticks to it without any delusions of grandeur (unlike Mad Max: Fury Road which people tried to turn into some kind of phenomenon).

And yet they are still great fun and I'll be seeing this one like the first two.

The director has confirmed that the Wick's body count will be slightly above the 128 of the previous movie.
