This John Wick guy seems cool, he needs his own series of movies

The amount of bee metaphors they make should be in the Guinness Book of World Records

ROUND 6

“Blink of an eye” still shocked me

ROUND 5 IN DOLBY

The sound in this format cannot be replicated, even at midnight coming out of this 9pm showing, I was still so fucking engaged to the point where I did the “leaning forward” meme during the end

Also that damn Lilo and Stitch movie is stealing Dolby screens it doesn’t fucking deserve 🤦🏾‍♂️

Going to a 9pm Dolby screening of a movie that deserves that surround sound experience and coming out at midnight is the price I pay for Disney’s mid remake…anyways…

My one flaw of this movie remains Gabriel…I liked him more in Dead Reckoning and he’s a bit more “cartoony” in here near the end

Other than that, submarine scene had me locked in, the plane scene too…but that “blink of an eye” moment might be one of the standout SCENES of all time.

God I love this movie, idc what the critics say.

Will be coming back for more…

ROUND 4

What a movie.

ROUND 3 AND COUNTING

My movie of the year, will anything top it though?

My 2nd favorite Karate Kid movie. One thing’s for certain, I’m going to watch Cobra Kai this summer!

Watched on Wednesday May 28, 2025.

I liked it more than 2, definitely adds to the story of the first in really interesting ways - surprised that people like the previous one more

Mission Impossible had believable water scenes at least

This review may contain spoilers.

ROUND 2

I rented a private theater to watch it with all of my friends and it was the most fun I’ve had during a private theater screening I’ve hosted.

Now about the movie…

YES. This movie does have a lot going on and a LOT of plot packed into this one package. YES. This movie is something I hyped up ever since Part One and Part Two were announced. YES. Gabriel probably isn’t AS good in this movie as he was in Part One. YES. It’s nearly 3 hours long. YES. This could have been a bit more final.

BUT

Did I get emotional when they showed all the clips of the previous movies? Did I tear up when Luther died and had to say goodbye to Ethan? Did I walk away absolutely loving this as a sendoff to the series? Was I on the edge of my seat during the submarine and the airplane sequences? Will I go see this more than twice in theaters? Does this even deserve the 5 star rating I gave this film? Is it my current movie of the year?

The answer to all of those questions is…YES

…ONE LAST TIME

Red Guardian is in my top 5 MCU characters

One of the worst offences of Quantumania was not bringing Luis back

Red Guardian is one of the greatest MCU characters

Brave New World is literally a remake of this movie

I wish it had more personality, it’s cool if it’s a lot of dialogue but I didn’t feel a reason to care about these characters and the team - everything just felt so stale to me

You’ve always been on the right side, brother
I have no regrets
Neither should you

La-la-la-lava
Ch-ch-ch-chicken
Steve’s Lava Chicken, yeah it’s tasty as hell
Ooh, mamacita, now you’re ringing the bell
Crispy and juicy, now you’re havin’ a snack
Ooh, super spicy, it’s a LAVA ATTACK!!!

Dude

The character designs of the humans are terrible

One of the whitest actors on the planet playing a character named Lamar Blackburn is just hilarious to me 😭 😭

He really was…an AMATEUR
