John Wick: Chapter 4 continues to dominate the box office and serve as the perfect reminder of why you should never mess with someone’s dog. While there’s no telling when and where the titular character’s rampage will end, cinemagoers are taking this opportunity to look back at some of the highlights from the franchise, with one going so far as to suggest Chapter 3 – Parabellum is one of the few good threequels in cinema history.

Quoting Christopher Nolan from one of his recent interviews, where he said “there are no good third sequels,” the made a case for why Parabellum might have broken this industry curse, casually glossing over numerous fantastic movies that would beg to differ.

Social media was ready to respond with a flurry of counterarguments, and some of the movies they thought of were actually among the best in history. Who could deny that The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, winning 11 Academy Awards in 2003, is one such flick?

What about Toy Story 3? Would that supersede John Wick 3?

And going for threequels that aren’t necessarily perfect, but really, really good, people can think of stuff like Return of the Jedi and The Prisoner of Azkaban off the top of their heads.

Besides, Parabelluim was probably one of the weaker entries in the John Wick franchise.

John Wick is understandably the talk of the town for the time being, so don’t be surprised if you run into any more of these hot takes in the days and weeks to come.
