John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum by AverageMansReviews

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is excellent.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline: in a nutshell it is a continuation from the previous sequel and it is good.

Artistic visions/Comedy level: the artistic visions are well spaced out in this project, be it the ballet practice scenes on stage or without giving too much away when our lead role is walking through the desert [I am specifically focusing on the night element, the day elements are okay but the night element is beautiful and it did catch my eye, or being when our lead role is doing combat with this character that is bold [the background is colourful and engaging, you won't be able to miss it,] in fact these scenes or sequences within these see-through locations are smart, efficient and elegant.

Now moving on to the comedy level, I am sitting here trying to think of a descriptive word or words for it, because I could say mature or adult, but it wouldn't cover everything, so let's just say it ranges between these two words with a elements of dark comedy as well.

Like briefly for one example our lead role and another character which is an enemy are both out of bullets so basically the first one to completely reload wins [his prize is he gets to kill his opponent and he gets to live.]

Action sequences: firstly in short there are weapons being used, combat elements and chasing elements. Now these action sequences are high-octane action, action and more action, they are swift impactful and show imagination like watch out for I think it is an axe or a design of an axe but it gets thrown by our lead role, the horses and an underwater scene.

Character developments/Performances: now from an overview perspective it is very important and appreciated by me, that all these characters are in one way or another designed to see these events as everyday events, because in turn this builds the chemistry/friction between one another [depending where you are in this title is depending what you get at that time.] Now just to focus on a small number of performers for a little while Reeves and Berry have excellent friction/chemistry and not forgetting our two other performers in this sequence as well they are handsome or pretty, I should say pretty dangerous as well they respond perfectly well to Berry/Sofia and I shouldn't forget Keanu Reeves's/John Wick's little friend either when he's on screen in this sequel.

This film receives: 9/10, if there was to be a sequel in the future; may I suggest somebody gets these performers under contract as soon as possible, because yes this sequel has much to offer, but with these performers making these characters their very own, it will leave a gap in this sequel that will be very difficult to replace if they were not to be in it, but for here and now after everything is said and done this sequel is excellent.
