but things were too hectic. Both the good and bad reviews make it sound like I'll enjoy it very much.
I haven’t seen 3 but love 1 and 2
But I’d love to get a prequel that would explain some/many things
One problem is that villain from movie 1 has died
and I have 2 DVR'd, but not yet watched.
Was going to watch 2 first.
John Wick world-building universe, then yes. But for good, normal people who just want to see amazing fights and ultra-violent killings, then obviously no.
Former elite assassin leaves the business to settle down with his wife and little puppy. Bad guys kill wife and puppy. Then elite assassin goes apeshit against the bad people.
There, you're all caught up.
EDIT: The wife gets a terminal disease and before dying leaves elite assassin a puppy to remember her by. Bad guys kill the puppy and elite assassin then goes apeshit.
The bad guys don't kill his wife. She dies, presumably from cancer, and as a dying gift gives John the puppy. Otherwise spot on.
You can tell how important plot is to me for these movies.
had to say was bad guys kill puppy. Any subsequent ultra violent killings are completely welcome and justified.
a congruent arc to the storyline but they could have done a much better job exploring his past and making it more interesting. The dogs were awesome but the fighting lacked tension becoming stale and saturated like being in a candy store. My son fell asleep in the later half of the movie.
I am biased because I wanted him to take it to the high table. Winston should not have it both ways. 1 > 2 >>> 3.
My clay shooting has been severely limited the past couple years by the outrageous amount of time committed to chauffeuring my daughters to their various activities (most egregiously, gymnastics).
I very much want to do it at least once or twice this summer, whether at Palos or Hickory Hills or Frankfort. On a side note, I find it amusing that a lot of Chicago-area shooting clubs are named after towns they are not located in (Palos in Frankfort, Hickory Hills in Plainfield, Frankfort in Mokena, etc).
on wanting him to take it to the high table.
Desert strolls don't look all that fun.
Some trailer called it a great trilogy, so at the end I messed my pantry a bit. Thank God Morpheus was my proverbial Depends.
It rules. 1 > 3 > 2. And 3 is not far behind 1.
Sounds like you didn't like 3 for what it was, you disliked it for what it wasn't. Seems like the same complaint GoT gets.
It is an action-fest. Spoiler: Maybe not for book lovers, though. Now, THAT was classic! Who needs a pencil, when you have a book?
The first was awesome, second not as good in my opinion. Where does number 3 fall?
Maybe even better because there's little expository setting up. Just gets straight to the action and killing.
John looks like he does much better with head trauma than I ever could. My approach would not include as much close-in combat. My marks would likely die oblivious they'd died.
