Keanu Reeves is back as the lethal John Wick in his third film reprising the role John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The newest trailer gives us glimpses of several brutal but amazing fight sequences, where Wick disposes of his opposition in a myriad of ways. From pure fisticuffs to throwing stars, knives, and swords, Wick will use whatever is at his disposal. That said, from the trailer we also know that there will be plenty of guns in his arsenal, and he’s going to make the most of them to survive the $14 million dollar bounty on his head.
As you might expect fans are taking their reactions to social media, and overall the trailer seems to be drawing quite a positive response. In fact, most of the negative response is really tied to the lack of one actor in the trailer, that being Jason Mantzoukas, who has appeared in a poster for the film but as of yet not in any footage.

A Jellyfish
The action sequences are a big draw for John Wick fans, including one in particular that reminds one fan of James Bond.ย
John Wick 3 has a fight sequence that’s clearly inspired visually by the jellyfish scene in Skyfall and I am SO READY for it.

Excellence Expected
There was a lot of excitement to see the newest trailer, but some already expected it to be excellent, and thankfully they weren’t disappointed.

One Small Flaw
While the overall reaction to the trailer is immensely positive, there is one aspect that many can agree it falls flat on, which is no appearance from Jason Mantzoukas.

Bikes and Swords
There were some slick looking fight sequences in the new trailer, but one, in particular, grabbed a lot of attention, that being the one where Wick is fighting thugs on a motorcycle with a sword.
Y’all… There’s a sword fight on motorcycles. #JohnWick3

Percentages
If you loved the first two movies you will likely love the new one, though 90% of one fan’s appreciation for it is all tied to Mantzoukas.

Who Is Complaining?
It seems some are complaining about John Wick having too many action scenes, though that would be like complaining Taco Bell has too many offeringsย centered around a taco.
I honestly don’t get the complaints of “too many action scenes” in an action movie#JohnWick3

Not a Fan
One fan isn’t too happy with the film’s villain though, feeling as if it rips it off from Skyfall.
Oof, not a fan of John Wick 3 shamelessly ripping off Skyfall and The Villainess.
