Spoiler Alert. John Wick 3 puts "Guilty" Keanu under the thumb of three Feminazis, to pay his penance. First, they introduce a new rank of character to the show, called an "adjudicator". As the woman "adjudicator" walks around, they place the camera down by her feet, so you're always looking up to her and following her around from a dog's perspective, as if she's some towering authority. The feminazi adjudicator goes around enforcing the rules of "The Table", systematically lecturing all the male heroes of the series (Fishburn, Wick, Winston, etc.) about their evil deeds, pronouncing them guilty, imposing their penalties, and putting them in their proper place, under her feminazi feet. Next, John has to go and suck up to the second feminazi, who was in charge of the orphanage who took him in as a child. After giving him his bad-boy lecture, she grudgingly helps him out with safe passage to Casablanca. Once there, Wick has to go take a 15 minute, venomous, resentful, "you done me wrong" lecture from Halle Berry. She's can't say a nice word to Wick, spewing out venomous, contempt, and sarcastic, cutting remarks about everything he says. After showing how much she despises him, she reluctantly, and grudgingly helps him find her former boss, who knows how to get in touch with the elder of "The Table", so Wick can try to make amends. As Wick sets out across a blazing hot desert, Berry pours a quart of water out for her dogs to drink. Then she drinks what little is left in the bottle, and spits some of it back in, and hands it to Wick. That's pretty much it. The franchise is now a political vehicle for feminazis to claim control of the world, by preaching against the evil of men, and putting them all in their place under their feet. The spineless men all suck up to gain social approval. Now that we know the primary message the movie is trying to convey, we can move onto the action scenes (again, spoilers ahead). Probably my favorite moment was when Wick used a horse to kick his enemy in the face. It sends him rocketing across the stable. It was absolutely brutal, and there are many similar scenes that make you shout out in empathy for the pain Wick inflicts. That said, the action seems slower, less natural, and more contrived than in Wick 1 and 2. There are several times when Wick could have easily been finished off by the villains, but they just stop attacking him, start talking to each other, then let him come at them again, only to then be defeated. The whole show is overshadowed by the sickening Feminazi agenda, and the spineless men who abdicate their roles to suck up to it, just like the Bond franchise. It not for that, it could have been a serviceable installment in the series. As it is, I will definitely be ditching this now Feminazi franchise.

This got a 90% critic review on rotten tomatoes: "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum reloads for another hard-hitting round of the brilliantly choreographed, over-the-top action that fans of the franchise demand." So the critics admit that it's basically the same movie, with absolutely nothing new; and the reason it was made was because the fans demanded it. Ok, that's fine. the fans got what they wanted, cool. But that doesn't change the fact that this movie can't distinguish itself from John Wick 1 & 2 at all. There's no reason to watch this movie unless you liked the previous ones already, that should weigh heavily into the review. If the audience wants to give it 90%, that's fine; but the critics need to critique. I give it one star for being the exact same as the other two movies in the trilogy.

Good movie to add to the series... BUT... It still falls short to the first two movies. I'm guessing this movie was meant more as a segway to the next film(s). It dives more into the structure of the organisation and developing more characters within, not so much just action. I really think this movie was meant to further both future sequel, and any potential prequels that may come.
