Is Reeves a Hall of Famer at this point for some mythical Hollywood HOF? I mean if you give him credit for the Wick series, The Matrix movies, Speed, Point Break, the Bill and Ted stuff, River's Edge, etc. he has a pretty decent case.

Just got home from it. Holy shit YES, how does this franchise keep getting better and better? As of right now, I would put this as better than Chapter 2. Thinking about it, Chapter 2 made John into more of an inhuman superhero but with the story that this tells, it definitely makes John more vulnerable obviously. But yeah, we’re all here to watch heads getting shot and there’s plenty of that in spades. The action is top notch like everybody believes and I just love how visceral it gets. The first 20-25 minutes alone tells you that. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}John with the knife towards that guy’s eye. My theater was like “Oh god don’t do it, he’s not going to do it, he’s noOHMYGODWHYYYYY?!” It was f***ing brutal. Bring the hell on more of this. My screening was great. People gutturally reacted to every kill, all the comedic beats(intentional or otherwise {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}(such as when one of the dogs kept tugging on the arm of a dead guy for waaaaay too long) ) were received with great laughter, they were just all in on the proceedings and it was great. Honestly best crowd I’ve watched a movie with all year. Yes even better than the audiences at all 3 Endgame screenings I went to. There were more of those beats in your spoiler tag than I can remember and each one absolutely slayed me. {Spoiler}Sofia: BUT HE SHOT MY DOG! John: ...I get it!
That might have been the line of the movie.

Saw it this weekend. It was super fun and I'm excited about the future of the franchise. The whole underground assassin world is fascinating to me so the more we learn about it the cooler I think it is.
I also marked hard for Boban's appearance and him actually having a few lines!

Saw this on Friday, loved it as I did the other two. After thinking about it a few days, I've come to a conclusion, possibly a controversial one. If everyone involved can keep up the current level of quality and nail the eventual ending, I think John Wick will go down as legitimately the best action film series ever. Not one of the best, but the best. I might have that crown already when you think about it. 3 movies in and they're all amazing. The action is memorable and the movies stand up on re-watches. The story isn't overly complicated and each ones leaves you wanting more and more. You think of other great action franchises and there's something that ends up not holding up or the franchise has a stinker in it. The last 2 Die Hard movies drag down the franchise. People like to not think about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when thinking about Indiana Jones. Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 stunk. Mission Impossible comes REALLY close. Part 2 is the only thing that holds it back, but I think John Wick and Mission: Impossible are the best action franchises and it's a fun race to watch!

Finally got to see it tonight and oh my god just hook that s*** right in my veins
That was so fantastic. I was watching it in my house after a tiring day and after the first twenty minutes I was practically on my feet cheering because it was that good
I can’t wait for chapter 4
