I thought the third movie was better than the second, and I really enjoyed the second film.

I guess everyone here hates it, but I loved John Wick 3. I think it’s the best one. There was a tinge of disappointment toward the end when I realized it wasn’t ending here. Hopefully they wrap it up with one more.

The plan—after they realized there was going to be more than one—was a trilogy. They opted not to do…

these movies work for a number of reason:

Loved 3. Can’t wait for the finale in 4, where he’ll burn the whole system down with the help of Morpheus and Mantzoukas (I love that his character is basically just an intro for what should be a much expanded part in 4).

It’s gonna be a wild ride.

John Wick 1: you did this to you

I am a non-critic regular person who was around when the original trilogy was in theaters and who enjoyed TLJ. I remember young Luke Skywalker being extremely whiny, and it makes complete sense that he’d turn into a disgruntled old hermit. It confuses me that more people don’t see it that way.

Rian Johnson’s imperfect but often spectacular and genuinely daring The Last Jedi. [snip] Watching The Rise Of Skywalker, you realize that J.J. has...made what feels sometimes like a glorified apology for his successor’s choices.

I had problems with TLJ, but bringing back ghost robot palpatine is the most boring story to follow up that movie.

“It’s OK” seems to be the consensus.

It makes the moments that actually did age well stick out all the more. Just two examples:

- There’s an episode of The Jeffersons where an old army buddy of George’s came out as a transwoman. It’s a cis-actress playing her unfortunately, but what’s stunning is that it’s completely respectful otherwise. George is…

And then comes the observation that he was only in 5 movies, but they were all classics.

I believe John Cazale gets mentioned here everytime there's a discussion of 70s cinema.

We go over 70s cinema again and again and again, and I get that it feels redundant and OK Boomer-centric and indicative of our present day dearth of originality but, man, that decade was just such an embarrassment of riches. Also, can we appreciate for a second just how much of a cultural loss John Cazale’s early…

The Shining would like a word.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the shark looks incredible to this day. Give me clunky, animatronic Bruce over the CGI monstrosities of Deep Blue Sea any day. 

This movie may tie with The Godfather for “most improved movie from source material.” I remember being a nine-year-old on a road trip and grabbing Jaws from a hotel’s take-a-book-leave-a-book pile (I did not leave a book) and thinking: this book is dumb.

Can you imagine a movie like this selling out theaters now? Long, long scenes of dialogue, long, long, slow buildup of tension? Character development? A sense of place? Watching a movie from the ‘70s feels like time travel.

That’s the thing - the mere fact that they’re adequate in 2019 means they were mind-blowing in 1995.

I love how people are just trying to stick Marty with all the criticisms of Marvel movies in an attempt to discredit the criticism.

Man, The Aviator really had an amazing performance from DiCaprio. I very frequently think about the dinner scene with the Hepburns and the way that it plays out, and Hughes’ words “You don’t care about money because you’ve always had it”... pretty relevant to a lot of the conversations that bubble up in today’s…
