Just got back from the theatres seeing John Wick 3: Parabellum, and man they should have just called that movie John Wick Chapter 3: Part One. The ending of the second movie was kind of ambiguous as to whether there'd be a sequel or not (I mean we live in hell so of course there'd be a sequel, but I think the image of John Wick fleeing, chased by hell and all of it's demons would be a fine note to end on), but this one is basically John Wick saying he's going to finish this fight. Aside from that, the fights are back and they are better than ever. John gets a 2x horse combo, is confused by glass some more, and a dog bites a bunch of guys in the dick. The effects are significantly better as well, which is pretty noticeable considering how much gorier this movie is from the last one. The new ideas and themes they introduced kind of shifted the thesis away from damnation and more towards trust, human nature, and the consequences of making choices (you can tell the last one is pretty important because there are like 3 scenes where characters just say the word "consequences" to each other instead of talking). The new characters are all great, the returning characters are all great, the dog is back, and there's gonna be another one, so I guess it's a good movie.
