 My Review:
Being a fan of John Wick and realising that a third movie was on it's way I was excited to give this a watch at the first opportunity I had and with all of the action within it, it did not disappoint.

I loved that from the very beginning of this movie till the very end scene was full of action and killing which is how people know John Wick. I thought by doing this it kept really true for the fans of the franchise and with everyone against John Wick showed how great an assassin he really is. Having from the very beginning how people who helped John Wick at all also getting punished I thought made this more real and showed how the the High Table would not stand for anyone helping him after he killed one of their own. With showing how the king was taken off of his throne and being cut seven times for giving John seven bullets and at the very ending seeing him want to bring down the table, which makes him save John in order to get him on side was a great way of leading into a forth movie! Showing how John's friend Winston was determined to keep his power and so much so as to after having John Wick not kill him and to help save his hotel ended up shooting him was so expected but couldn't help feeling sorry on John for putting his trust in someone in which didn't care about him. Having a character in this movie say that they also looked up to John and make the audience laugh at times was something which I did like as even though this movie was full of action made this movie lighter at moments which did stop it from being serious all the way through which I did personally like.

However, this film did have some faults in my opinion, I found that this movie although had a lot of action and was a great bridge movie for the forth movie to come in didn't really focus enough on the plot of the film which I was rather disappointed with as I feel that they could have done more with the High Table rather than just a quick moment. Not only this but some of the deaths within John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum were really not believable and just rather funny to see which was a good change of pace at times but felt that some of the shots within those scenes could have been better. The only other thing about this movie that I will put as a negative however wasn't really a problem for myself was that you needed to know the previous movies to fully understand why John was being hunted down and could come across confusing to people in which haven't seen the previous movies.

Overall, this is a great addition to the John Wick series of movies and one that is very action packed. I would recommend this film to those who are fans of John Wick and people who are fans of action movies as this one has action non-stop throughout it. I will definitely see this movie again but as part of the series and not as a stand alone movie.

 My Rating: 4/5

Circle (film review)

Film: Circle Year: 2015 Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery Directed By: Aaron Hann, Mario Miscione Starring: Allegra Masters, Aimee McKay, Ashley Key About:  Held captive and faced with their imminent executions, fifty strangers are forced to choose the one person among them who deserves to live. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAlpm2oRzy8 My Review: Having not watched this movie in a while and wanting to watch it all day, I caved and put this on through Netflix. Personally, I like horror movies that have a psychological twist such as this film about right and wrong. I have seen this film before and I wouldn't say that it is amazing but it is a good watch.  I liked how Circle  had a lot of different characters and that the viewer got to see the movie from everyone's perspective not just one or two characters while also leaving the questions "why are they there?" and "what is the purpose of the circle?" which left me hoping for more answers as the film w...

Black Panther (film review)

Film: Black Panther Year:  2018 Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-fi Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o About:  T'Challa, the King of Wakanda, rises to the throne in the isolated, technologically advanced African nation, but his claim is challenged by a vengeful outsider who was a childhood victim of T'Challa's father's mistake My Review:  As a lover of Marvel comics and superhero films this really excited me having Black Panther finally as a hero which will be recognised by everyone as one of their own and joining the Avengers. With a lot of hype about this film as well I wanted to see if it lived up to it and why this was being called the first of it's kind for a black superhero movie when there is previous black hero's. As this film follows T'Challa gets to become king of Wakanda you see the struggle in which he is having letting go of his father and not really understanding how to run his country. As well as this yo...
