After gunning down a member of the High Table -- the shadowy international assassin's guild -- legendary hit man John Wick finds himself stripped of the organization's protective services. Now stuck with a $14 million bounty on his head, Wick must fight his way through the streets of New York as he becomes the target of the world's most ruthless killers.

Went to see John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum with my husband and 18-year-old daughter. We've all seen the first two so going to see it was a no-brainer. If you've loved the first two then you don't want to miss this one. Each film has upped the action and violence and the pattern continues.

John Wick 3 has a crazy number of fight scenes! I mean CRAZY. Whoever choreographed the fighting deserves a flocking award. They were creative and fun.

The film has more humor then the first two. I was cringing and laughing at the same time. There were a couple of places where the movie lagged so I deducted half a sheep.

The best part, it ends with the promise of a John Wick Chapter 4!

If you enjoyed the first two then this is a must see. I suggest IMAX. There are multiple city-scape shots at night that are breathtakingly beautiful.

My whole family gives it 4.5 "consequences" Sheep

Sheep Movie Review: Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Spoiler-free

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

Sep 22, 2017

"Kingsman: The Secret Service" introduced the world to Kingsman - an independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe. In "Kingsman: The Golden Circle," our heroes face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that tests their agents' strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that's becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy.

Went to see Kingman: The Golden Circle with my husband and 16-year-old daughter. We all saw and loved the first movie and looked forward to this one. We weren't disappointed. While not a necessity, I suggest seeing Kingsman: The Secret Service before The Golden Circle. There are a few inside jokes that you won't get unless you do.

One problem with sequels is the need to out-do the first one. If a little is good, then more is better seems to be the studios' answer. And The Golden Circle does suffer from this a little. Especially with the quick changing camera angles during fight scenes. More is not better! But that is a minor complaint. The rest of the movie was campy, over-the-top fun like the first movie.

People forget Kingsman is a 2012 UK comic written by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, published by Icon Comics...an imprint of Marvel! And the movies keep the outlandish comic book feel. It has a super spy theme like James Bond, but with a strong roll-your-eyes comedy aspect. That is part of its charm.

Don't want to spoil, so not plot talk. But so many twists and surprises! Unfortunately, the trailer ruined one of the biggest. Oops!

The movie was made for the 3-D experience, but we saw it standard. It is worth catching on the big screen.

The whole family agrees on 4 1/2 "Golden" Sheep
(actually I wanted it to be: 4 1/2 best sheep I've had in three weeks)
