          I don’t get the love for the John Wick films. They are ok at best. I think it’s because I struggle to really see Keanu as a badass.

          And yet, he is pretty legitimately a badass if I'm not mistaken, at least with a gun.

            He trained with Taran Butler for JW2 and 3. Taran is arguably one of the best competitive shooters on the planet.

              There were ten sets of identical working guns from JW3 recently for sale.

              Not sure if they sold out yet, they're about $18k for the set.

              I'm not going to lie, I was really tempted to cash in part of my retirement and buy this.

                    John Wick 3 - Yep, it does what it says on the tin. 😎 With some outrageous action-scenes and bodycount probably in the 100+ territory, this movie leaves fans of the genre (and this particular series) wanting very little… And the ending strongly suggests there’s more to come. The story wasn’t the strongest and I would’ve liked to see more of Halle’s character, but it’s an easy thumbs up from me.

                      Speaking of Keanu, I recently watched 47 Ronin and boy was that terrible. The addition of mythological creatures certainly didn't help it but I also didn't understand why Keanu's portrayal of a 'half breed' was even necessary. The only upside is that at least the main cast were Japanese actors.

                        I could be wrong, but on its surface things like 47 Ronin and The Last Samurai with Westerners playing heroic roles in the middle of sacred Japanese cultural context just seem like the worst kind of cultural appropriation to me. And I can only assume 47 Ronin is at least as noxious as that turd The Last Samurai. I can't even remember how I wound up watching that one in the first place, as the very concept seemed awful when I saw the trailer.

                        Think it, be it.

                          That was my thought as well. On top of that, I can’t believe the Japanese actors even agreed to star in a movie that embellished Japanese history.

                            Embellishment of history is it’s own sub genre in Asian cinema.

                            I used to watch a ton of Chinese movies and they were all period pieces with fantastical creatures.

                              And westernized protagonists is a thing in Asian cinema. If you watch anime you can note the good guys always have rounder eyes than the bad guys.

                                    Batman being the only superhero franchise I'm remotely interested in, this is not good news; having said that, it's also not the worst possible news, as Pattinson showed some relevant qualities in Cosmopolis (2012). Wait and see, then.

                                      I'm conflicted. I think Pattinson is a capable actor but playing Batman might be a stretch. But then again, I remember when Daniel Craig was criticized when he got the role of James Bond in Casino Royale and turned out to be the best Bond ever. Pattinson would have to pack on some serious muscle for this role but I think his age might be a harder sell. Bruce Wayne has always struck me as an older captain of industry rather than some fresh faced young guy right outta college. Maybe Pattinson will surprise everyone.

                                          @gaseousclay I've heard a rumour that the new Batman film is supposed to be set in the nineties, so it's a prequel featuring a younger Bruce Wayne.

                                          In any case he's about the same age as Christian Bale was in Batman Begins, and that didn't turn out too badly.

                                          In other movie news…

                                            The trailer doesn't look great but, the people working behind the camera lead me to believe this could be alright.
