Unhinged: 7/10
Nice short movie that my other half found quite stressful to watch
I want expecting the last half to be so intense but you pick up on all the foreshadowing they do in the first half. Nice satisfying movie.
A lot of the dog sections were CGI Sorry.John Wick 3 6/10
I think it's about time Reeves put JW to bed as he's not getting any younger, & he's definately slowing down, the most entertaining part of the movie?, the dogs!, they clearly enjoyed what they were doing & went for it with total commitment, they were like frikkin fur missiles zooming across the screen!. take the dogs out of the equation and it would have to be 5/10, we've been here before & the novelty is wearing awfully thin.
A lot of the dog sections were CGI Sorry.
John Wick 3 - Nonsense/10
Actually, nonsense x 1 gazjilliontyboohickdillyon.
Here is my review of John Wick 3: kablaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
e: On a more serious note, this sums up most of the problems
Admit that John Wick is a Garbage Franchise You Cowards | Scene and Heard: Scene's News Blog (clevescene.com)
Whilst I'm not so bothered by the gratuitous violence as this critic seems to be, I agree with the rest of the points they make. The John Wick franchise is gratuitous violence, but this instalment is not necessarily entertaining. It manages to be quite mind-numbing gratuitous violence.
There's a lot of times where you're thinking, "That was kind of cool the first time but we've seen it 10 times now in the space of a minute." The fight scenes are not great. A lot of the time the martial artists can be seen either putting up no resistance at all, or slowing their movements to a crawl, or deliberately missing Mr Wick. And Wick himself has about three moves, and three moves only. And one of them is a slap, lol.
In truth, most of the film plays like a video game. I actually said to myself, "This is Max Payne the film." Only with a plot that is completely unfathomable. And that's not really a compliment, tbh. Video game logic doesn't make for a great film, unfortunately.
There are unlimited enemies that just run at Wick and he slaps them. It's over an hour of people getting slapped and falling over. It's not really engaging. I found myself laughing at a lot of it.
Bonus (negative) points for the Game of Thrones guy doing the worst possible Italian accent.
Not a wind-up. Got a source for that? Multiple scenes looked completely unnatural, with the uncanny valley effect you get from modern CGI.Only the part where it gets shot is apparently CGI, all the dog work was practical, even the wall climb.
Unless you're on a wind up.
The dog poo in JW1 is cgi though

Are any animals hurt in the film? (MILD SPOILERS): We see that Sofia is as dedicated to her dogs as John Wick was to Daisy: When she takes Wick to see Berrada (Jerome Flynn), who’s connected to the High Table, Berrada demands she give him one of her dogs. She refuses, so he shoots the dog! We all know what’s coming next: She, Wick, and the dogs take down everyone in sight.
Both dogs were wearing harnesses, so it appears that the one that was shot was not actually injured. Still, it’s enough to tick off any animal lover.
And, by the way, the dog who climbs a 30-foot wall? Real, not CGI, as Rob Nederhorst, the film’s visual effects, pointed out on Twitter.
There were a fair few sections where even that simple premise wasn't done right.I enjoy and watch the John Wick movies overall as I know exactly what i'm going to get, i'm not expecting ground breaking story telling, just over stylised gun fights with an never exhausting supply of bad guys
My wife and I watched most of it and, although it was well acted and had a great cast, we found it meandering, pointless, self-indulgent and boring. Eventually we turned it off and read instead. Felt like an absolute waste of an hour. I won't bother watching the rest.I watched Once Upon A Time in Hollywood on Netflix.
