John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum - Official Trailer (2019) - My Thoughts and Reaction


We keep getting trailers after trailer this week. We barely got Spider man Far from Home trailer two days ago now we got a new trailer for the third John Wick movie. The first John Wick film didn't scored high in the box office but the second one broke ground after the good feedback the first film had from its audiences.


The official trailer just dropped so I'm going to go into detail what I like about it and what I didn't like about it and what do we know about the film based on the information and rumors that has been circulating around the internet. A little bit of spoiler if you haven't seen the first two films.




Judging from the first few minutes of the trailer it would appear this new film picks up a few minutes right after the events of the second movie where ian McShane's character Winston gave John Wick put a 40 million bounty on his head and gave him a one hour head start to run for his life.


So the trailer is basically every killer, assassin in and out of the Continental will most likely want a piece of poor John. And for any fan of John Wick that means more body count than probably both the previous film combined. At least a lot of us hope it will. 


I love how the song the Impossible Dream plays during the entirety of the trailer it gives it sort of that nostalgic feel to it ala Godfather or the Untouchables. its absolutely perfect for this type of trailer.


We also see Laurence Fishburne's character the Bowery King in this which was pivotal person to John Wicks little adventure in the second film. It would be interesting to see which side of the coin the Bowery King lands in this third film. Will he help poor John again or will he side with Winston now that Johns a wanted man.


We also get to see new characters into play like Halle Berry's character who seem to be on john Wick side as we seen her and Keenu side by side in a scene. And she seem to also have a dog so I guess that makes them...friends?


Halle Berry has some issues with her acting but at least she can deliver in Bond-like action flicks more than she could do in Catwoman. At least her role in Storm was sort of ok. I think she is a good actress when she has the right role to play.


What I didn't like in the trailer is they showed Keanu in the desert which I think shows the end of the film itself where John escaped the city and is somehow got stranded in that place. I hope I'm wrong but I do think the trailer did show a bit too much.


Trailer aside they mentioned that the third movie will mark the end of John Wick's journey as a character and the next film in the franchise for Lions Gate will be titled the Continental which will explore the assassin hotel of the John Wick universe.


There's also a rumor that they are working on a female led spin off entitled the Ballerina. Will this be Halle Berry character? Is the third John Wick film sort of an introduction to her character? Any theories are open at this point of time.


I just find it intriguing that ballerina was also a profession of Black Widow and that other assassin flick with a female lead entitled the Red Sparrow.


Also Keanu is set to join Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in Toy Story 4. So that's another exciting thing to watch out for.
