Is a really fun movie.
I like action films that pay attention to ammo amounts etc.
Anyhow if you liked the first two you will really like it.

I watched it last night. It was ok. Like one non-stop gunfight for 2 hours

There's some videos online of Keanu (and now Halle Berry) training firearms for the movie. Keanu got really good. They're setting the bar for this ****, finally. Hollywood hasn't had proper gunplay in movies.

i saw a post on twitter earlier that said "keanu reeves is what johnny depp thought he'd be". struct me as poignantly fitting.

Keanu always puts in the effort. Film crews love him.

i dont get the hype behind john wick movies... how are they different from any other mindless shooter action pew pew fest. not that thats a bad thing, but theres a difference in standards within a genre.... like harry potter vs game of thrones

Kind of a return to solid, well crafted action films that aren't entirely reliant on CGI or ludicrous plot lines. Here's the good guy, he's a bad ass, here are the bad guys, they're jerks.

Because it's honest about being a running gunfight for 2 hours and doesn't pretend that the story isn't anything more than a basic setup to get John Wick to murder a string of bad guys in a highly choreographed ballet of death, performed without camera tricks like quick cuts and shakey cam to make Keanu Reeves do things he can't do.... because it's him doing all of it himself.
It has great cinematography, straight forward plot and fun characters.

isnt that just most action movies tho... like the die hards, lethal weapons, transporters, all the kungfu movies like jet li/chan/fat, etc... and i throw john wick into that pile.
but if i want something a little deeper i look at terminator, matrix, and bond movies.
with the rep wick has though itd make you think it belongs to the latter mix.

The movie was awesome although the long journey and choice was moot in practically 2 scenes further up.... Definitely action outweighs story in this one by a lot.

This.
It is not deep in plot but the action scenes are fun as ****. They are way more realistic than the movies where the hero has a 9mm with 25 rounds of ammo. I don't know why that bothers me but it does. Willing suspension of disbelief I guess.
Also fun fact, the first John wick only had 7 extras because the budget was so low; they just kept giving them different looks.

It is nothing more than mindless fun, but nothing wrong with that and some popcorn!
Agree that what makes it more appealing is getting rid of the cheap asian influence camera tricks like the quick cuts and shaky cam used to hide cheap productions that don't make the effort with choreographed fight scenes. I appreciate that effort and find it much more enjoyable.
