The Terminal List (2022)
Not bad, but not good
I read a review before watching that mentioned that this would have been a great movie, but in this format it's too long and drawn out - I tend to agree. It has nice action sequences and the first episodes started out great and was engaging, but the longer it lasted the more I wanted it to be finished.
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Turning one into two
I really enjoyed the first two movies in this series I got half of what should have been one movie. The overall feel of this instalment is to make more money and continue a so far successful franchise even if the cost and potential of what this movie could have been.
I will not go into lengths about how long and at times unrealistic the fight scenes were (it's all ready covered by others). I will note that perhaps the reason why John Wick does seem to be impervious too bullets is his bulletproof suit? But still, at the end of the movie it becomes a little ridiculous how unscathed he gets through it all.
My main problem with the plot of this movie is that it becomes painful obvious that what should have been one movie have been split into two. The ending in this one could have been a great plot twist midway in a potentially great instalment, instead the rest have min saved for what I guess know will be John Wick 4. Instead of filling the two hours with maybe more background story of the universe the movie is sett in, Wicks background or the tables organisation structure it's just fighting, fighters and more fighting. A missed opportunity to engage viewers but that's just my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the action and thrills are the reason I enjoy this franchise but it would have been nice too see a plot driven action movie instead of a fighting tournament with some plot sprinkled on top.
You: Pilot (2018)
Really good
A goood pilot episode. I was hooked from the gett go. Some great acting from the two leads. Can't wait to watch the rest!!
Like Father (2018)
Great chemistry!
Old story, new wrapping. This doesn't mean the movie isn't good, just that you've probably seen something like it before. I really liked the chemistry between the two leads and it made the movie more enjoyable and believable than others in this genre. You cry, you laugh (uncomfortably) and than you move on :)
