This is a nonsensical script combined with useless directing. The story is just plain silly and before anybody thinks "oh that's how it's supposed to be" I've seen enough to know the difference between mockery and pure incompetence. The comedy of course is forced all the way through- like a typical quirky modern marvel movie, it feels cheap. Kevin Hart is playing himself just like he does in every single movie and the whole schtick is getting old. This movie is a complete waste of time and for those who find this entertaining and hail it as 10/10 you need to learn more about what movies are out there or it's just a bot. It baffles the mind how even cheap comedies are degrading in quality- modern cinema summed up.

Too much forced comedy with Bruce's character- he is the weakest part of the show and is central to it. Bruce is just a fool- the best part was him getting a minor beatdown. The action sequences are decent. The writing is mixed, it's missing something and Bruce is probably the one who drags the show down. Charles and Yeoh are the stars of this show, if there was less comedy this show would have probably faired better allowing higher stakes and more intense moments. The foundations are there, but it's missing something- if it was more serious it would have probably been a better show, seems like there were shades of everything everywhere all at once which does not belong in a show about triads.

This movie is essentially an over-zealous action montage where a story has been shoved in to excuse the action- the writing even fails at that. The cinematography and stunts are pretty good, especially the birds-eye action sequence.

I feel as though this has been transformed into a fast and furious movie or Tug Speedman's Scorcher series.

Donnie Yen is a fantastic choreographer and to have him blind in this was nonsensical- a jack of all trades blind assassin....

Mr. Nobody could have had more potential instead he has a bit of an identity crisis- it all went down the drain when he wimps out to the Marquis, took away his mysterious badass tracker persona.

What is the point of Morpheus in this? He has had a build up for a while and has now transformed into Johns suit and gun supplier? More wasted potential.

The world building/lore is still very weak- there is so much interesting potential here instead we are just given one liners and are expected to eat it up. Fillers for the next bang bang scene to see John using his trusty suit jacket collar shield.

Clearly, the writers just solely focussed on the action, sure it looks very cool at times but when you show too much of something it takes the magic away. Using the excuse 'this is a john wick movie' is irrelevant, compare this to the first two and think. If you want to hail this as the best action movie ever you may as well hail Fast 9 as the best too, both are akin. All flash, no substance.

Where to begin? I was quite disappointed to see that bollywood movies like this are still being made where there is such blatant degradation of Pakistan.

Firstly my mother knew the daughters of the nuclear scientist, she grew up with them and knew where they lived. The movie changed the names and the location- they actually lived in Islamabad- not rawalpindi. How are we meant to feel sympathy for Amandeep and that other RAW agent when they got Nasreens father killed and told so many lies- basically dehumanising Pakistanis. You can't have it both ways trying to make this a cute love story when all this bakwas is going on at the same time.

Secondly, as aforementioned, why is there still a need to constantly make Pakistanis in this movie appear as buffoons? All action scenes were ridiculous! Whilst I enjoy Dhoom etc that's fiction- but when you are portraying this as based on true events you are just further creating a divide between two nations. Ha ha India stronger than Pakistan look at all the useless soldiers.

Thirdly; costumes, set designs so so lazy. Come on yar Pakistani streets and houses don't look like that. Incorrect language used in this too, most people in Rawalpindi speak punjabi!

To conclude, this is a ridiculous propaganda movie which has twisted and made up facts. I love how at the end they had the cheek to say Pakistan never got to test their nuclear bombs etc. Too many lies just putting Pakistan in a bad light akin to what Hollywood does with Russia. Bollywood decided to go the extra mile here with making their fave 'rival' seem utterly useless. Grow up.

I really struggled to have any interest towards the story presented in this movie, it is quite bland and generic and the main characters are not really likeable or notable therefore it is hard to stay invested in the story. The cenobites do have some cool moments with their kills , one in particular was the van scene. However, for the most part there is no tension whatsoever and the cenobites are not intimidating and look very strange without the regular leather attire... Below average movie, however still watchable. For gore fans, they do have some parts however it felt tame/anti-climatic....

The first movie is better in my opinion, Julia Stiles performed pretty well. Leena is not her unleashed self here rather she is on the defensive. There is an alright twist too which caries much of the plot later on. Some illogical moments here and there, but overall it is a watchable movie.

I watched this movie on a rainy day at home when I was a kid, plate full of jacket potatoes and baked beans. This is a wholesome adventure which has very little political nonsense shovelled in your face that modern kid movies are riddled with. It teaches you to be brave and kind, the use of the different genre books reflects that. This movie is highly underrated and I would recommend this to anyone who has children who are between 6-10.

I recently watched this movie again and it did give me overwhelming feelings of comfort and with more of a critical mind I still stand with what I have aforementioned, excellent movie. I cannot think of any flaws because this is a cartoon movie for kids and it does exactly what it was made for!

This is an excellent movie which is stacked with many talented actors who display the fruit of their skills. I have not read the book, therefore, I can only judge from what I have seen and it was an highly engaging movie with space for interpretation regarding the mentality of Randle.
