potentiality_26I saw John Wick: Chapter 3 in theaters the other day. Not much to say about the movie itself other than I enjoyed it; this franchise is pretty consistent, so you know what you're gonna get: slick action scenes, cool settings and eccentric characters, not a whole lot of plot. The violence in these movies is pretty hardcore but I find the use of it so interesting. The thought that went into making the fights unique is always so obvious, and it makes them easier to appreciate than a lot of "total blood bath" style R-rated action movies.
That said, I've never heard so many grown adults make that "Eww!" sound somewhere between fascination and disgust so many times in one movie as I did watching this one.
Also Aladdin was starting five minutes earlier and sold out (this at a Sunday matinee in a rural area, so I guess Aladdin is doing well) and a couple of enterprising families apparently decided to see John Wick instead, which was... interesting. I wonder about some people.
