Author Topic: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 05-17-2019 05:05 PM                        CINEMA: B&B Ankeny 12 & B-Roll Bowling, Ankeny, IA AUDITORIUM: 2 PRESENTATION: B&B GRAND screen Recline-o-Vision stadium seating with butt warmers, dts:X, and 4k projection from freaking laser beams PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None RATING: Three stars (out of four) THE PLOT: Parabellum is a dish best served violently. Wackiness ensues. This is the best of the John Wick movies. Best script, best fight scenes, best sets, and most fun overall. There's tons of deaths by gun and sword of course, but also by use of dog, horse, library book, and more. The one thing to overlook...or maybe embrace...is the primary bad guy is played by the same guy who played The Chairman on Iron Chef America. (Naturally, his first scene is in a restaurant kitchen.) Every punch, kick, drop, and gunshot are exaggerated with resounding thumps so seek out a theatre with a killer sound system to see this in. This is the first John Wick movie I wouldn't mind seeing again.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-17-2019 11:40 PM                        We got zero inquiries about the first two John Wick movies, but people are asking for this one all over the place. I think it looks like a piece of crap myself but you can't argue with butts in the seats.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-18-2019 01:27 AM                     Rotten Tomatoes score of 88% out of 202 reviews counted. Very much in the "certified fresh" territory. 92% audience score.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-23-2019 01:16 AM                        They use a Commodore 64 for their dispatch system in the organization's headquarters. I'm pretty sure they did that in the other two movies as well. I notice because the C64 was my very first computer. And that chess set in the glass room is very cool indeed.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 06-25-2019 11:13 PM                     I don't think it helped that I missed the second one, jumping into the third movie so little of it made sense. The action scenes though are amazing and the glossy sleek cinematography looked like a Dolby Cinema presentation on a non-Dolby Cinema auditorium - outstanding!!  |  IP: Logged
