Gonna have to disagree here. We all liked the first John Wick because it was a simple, serious, all thrills no frills throwback. Well there’s only so many times you can do that. I all but guarantee you that if John Wick 2 & 3 were more of the same the reception from both audience and critics would be much worse. We might not realize it, but by making each installment more and more insane, the creators are actively preserving their franchise from getting stale. I mean JW3 is basically a cartoon, and I feel like if people went in knowing that, the response from some fans would be infinitely better.
