Decent movie, but I wanted just a bit more from it could have been a lot better, so just like the first two If you enjoyed the first two you should enjoy this one as well
@@matthewmartinez3774: Not a bad movie at all, after seeing it earlier, EQ3 has been made in a way that draws the series to a close and all the better for it. Die Hard 5 is a clear example where it could have been a lot better and I say EQ3 is a great example of a fictional character (Washington is no less than brilliant) finding solace after so much loss in life - gets my vote.
I understand weakness, i understand pain,i understand death, i understand suffering & bcuz of these people i'm starting to understand peace. You can't take that away from me
The most inspiring aspect of this film was that people as a supportive community could turn out to be more powerful than guns and thugs. Robert relied on his connection to the people who took him in to come out and have his back. THAT WAS AWESOME to see in this day and age, because it's becoming less reliable with everyone being so disconnected and addicted to the Matrix, my way of classifying social media.
Good point. These super duper spies always figure out how to achieve goals with the resources at hand - and here, he drew upon a community. He also drew upon the see aye Yay - he pulled the thread a little, and hten got them on the scent of the trail, confident that they could unravel it all. So, he used both the community and the see aye yay. Some reviews say the movie had slow points, but this was him laying the groundwork to help the town, once he figured out they needed the help. He needed help ,as well. If he came out with guns blazing too early, Enzo may have been targeted. And, he would just have been seen as a guy passing through who just brought trouble.
This is the first time I've seen a community of nobodies actually giving a damn about Robert McCall and going well out of their way to welcome and help him out of courtesy. In the previous two installments, he was the one doing people around him a favor and we never saw kindness by the community in reciprocity. So I totally understand him when he says Altamonte is where he's meant to be.
What made no sense to me is the Mafia was making millions (probably hundreds of millions) of dollars importing n exporting drugs on that islands wit no oversight or interference from their government. So why would they waste their time tryin to shake down small mom n pop stores for chump change? If anything they would go all out of their way to make business owners happy so they could londer money, as well as get a small piece of tourism action
@@alanfreeman7374 I’m assuming you’re referring to the dress uniform that McCall kept in his safe room behind the bookcase. Watching the clip rn…looks like he was a gunnery sergeant (and quite a decorated one, judging by the amount of chest candy).
Prequel using Denzel's son? OH YEAH. This would give him 2-3 films as a strong foundation for his future. One of the old films using ages is FREQUENCY (2000, Dennis Quaid, Jim Caviezel) for a time-crossing tale that is blended at the end.
I was expecting to find out more about McCall's back story, Particularly what happened to his wife, Vivian, mentioned in the first two films. Perhaps they left this open for a prequel?
She died of Cancer. They found out too late to really save her. Thus the 99 books theme where he wanted to finish thermal on her behalf. She also tried her best to let him know he was a good man.
In general, this movie lacks a lot of what made the other two so good. The back story of McCall is one such thing, but the back story of those he saves is another. Every thing feels much less alive and instead feels like a mimicry.
I loved the movie but i have to sayy that the first movie still has the best soundtrack.......in the climax scene of the first movie when that song plays....man that gives me chills all the time
If they were to make a prequel, it would make sense to cast John David Washington as the the younger McCall. The title could be the Prequellizer lol...
NOOOOOOO prequels or transitions or another actor. Just NO. It ended wonderfully. He is at peace, there is a potential love interest, and he has accepted that who he was and what he did, did not make him a lost cause or evil. He just used his tools as they were needed. Great movie and a wrap to Denzel's first franchise. I wouldn't say no to a 4th but only if Fuqua directs and Denzel is back as McCall.
@@matthewmartinez3774 As a fan growing up on the original show, and the first two movies. Not having even seen the movie yet, just based on the trailers. It is very obvious Adrian has every right to have that very reasonable perspective. Apparently you have become numb to children being held at gun point and bloody bodies shaking from body trauma of a bomb. Or just have a problem being kind to strangers you don't know who are expressing a very simple honest impression. That you felt a need to step on. And explains your harsh unnecessary reaction. Classy.
@@matthewmartinez3774 The first two movies were almost nothing like this one when it comes to the violence. In this movie, it's not only glorified, but it's the point of the movie. The camera doesn't cut away like in the other movies, nothing happens off screen, there isn't a lot of darkness etc shrouding what happens. Even the angles when he attacks folks are different: it's right up on the action and the wounds are highlighted and shown in explicited detail (and there aren't really any environmental kills). The closest the first movies came to this was the final conflict in 2, where you see Denzel doing knife stuff, but the way it was captured was notably different from the kills in this film.
If you notice in most the action/fight/kill scenes, they’re very quick with little to no scene of Denzel actually fighting, nor much of a fight back from the mafia during these scenes. Safe to say that this is the last Equalizer movie and maybe Denzel transitioning into less demanding roles
@@hassantanveer96 : At the time - between the 2014 and 2018 movies - Washington was in his early 60's, this one is different, as he's nearly 70, highly unlikely he's going to be the lead in a 4th movie, if one ever happens.
Fun fact. The actor who played the Russian gangster in the first Equaliser film also played Galadriel's Husband in The Fellowship of the Ring. You're welcome.
I moved overseas complete with demons and ghosts from 40 years in Firefighting/EMS - I can attest to the 'script" and assumption that one sees a "Community" long lost in America. While certainly not free from those demons, I make a difference in a different way, and many demons cannot cross such a vast distance of water... Italy has peace in the smaller, towns, that require you work to stay alive, like Portugal. If you are willing to work, you can walk into a villa in Italy for 1 euro... it comes with great work, and a need to help.
It needed a bit more, IMO. Wasn't as good as the first film and was a bit underwhelming. The final fight was set up to be thrilling, but wasn't a contest at all.
The ending just showed how sadistic Robert McCall is. He is not only good at killing people, he actually enjoys watching them die a slow and painful death. He will slit your throat, and smile watching you limp like a gutted fish on the floor as you lose blood. He will even hum a song, like he is just making a sandwich. Thats how brutal he is.... But thankfully, he is actually the good guy
You‘reright. This is why i look at Robert with mixed feelings. I don’t see him as a hero after part 3 anymore (which is my favorite movie out of the trilogy).
What makes anyone think this is the final chapter in the franchise? This last one is by far the best one yet and since the peace would could only be temporary, it gives the franchise more room for another installment, and it would be just as entertaining as this one. GO ROBERT MCCALL!!! 👏👍😊
Opinion: De-aging can be a hit or miss in most cases. Star Wars franchise applies it on iconic characters given the relevant, in-world time. The Equalizer can do one better, with the younger Washington to play McCall in a prequel movie. Tenet is enough proof of his ability, presence, and approach. As for the premise: It could display his development of his efficient combat, relevance in the DIA, or his doubts on his path. Your comments.
The final Equalizer movie? Not necessarily. It would be more accurate to say this is Denzel's final Equalizer movie. But can't shut the door on Equalizer IV as the character is very popular. OTOH, it will be difficult to imagine another actor playing the role. Denzel's shoes are hard to fill. But it is definitely possible.There are always good new actors coming up.
Looper goes ahead and advertises a video claiming to explain the ending of this movie and gets stuck on the religious procession at the end. "Maybe it's this, or maybe it's this ..." After Robert is better halfway through the movie, he runs up a very, very, very long flight of stone stairs that deposits him outside a church. There, he finds Emma (Dakota Fanning) waiting for him. She shows him that she swapped out the Rome guide book for a more general one and tells Robert that the church behind her has a mural of the Virgin Mary rescuing an innocent man from being hanged, performing a kind of miracle. In that, Emma gives away the ending's meaning. The procession focuses on the Virgin Mary and the people of Altamonte. That's the key to the meaning of the ending. It's not like it has a lot of Jesus imagery, but a focus on Mary and everything she represents. The ending is about a miracle of the town being saved from the monstrous Vincent, and Robert's soul being saved by destroying the evil and renouncing his violent past with this one last act. It's a parallel event and pretty blatant if you were paying attention. Looper, I love your effort, but I have to ask: really??
When I found out that there's a tv show version of the films with Robyn McCall as the main protagonist instead of Robert McCall. I tried to give it a chance. At first, I kinda like it. Instead of operating alone, this McCall version has a team, and also a family. And then, her family issues slowly creeping in from just a side plot of the show to the main stories, suddenly my interest in the show had disappeared.
I don't think there should be a 4th. Maybe prequels would be good. But this was a nice way for him to end. And kind of passing on his legacy. I mean the guy is 69 years old.
The ending leaves plenty of room for part 4. Plus I don't see him coming full circle with this ending. Hope they do make part 4 and end it with some closure.
Did the narrator misspeak in the beginning? McCall starts out in Sicily, but that is not where the bulk of the movie is set. He leaves Sicily by boat and presumably goes to the Italian mainland living in a small costal village. The small village is not in Sicily from what I can tell. Did I get this wrong or did the announcer?
I thought that a picture prominently showing robert with her parents would be found on the mantle of Dwyer tying the story together- full circle. So she would have an answer to why her?
I needed to look up 'ending explained' as I felt they weaved 'Man On Fire' which starred both Washington and Fanning versus the intrigue of his special interest into Fanning's character with this 2023 flick.
Nothing was "weaved." She played little Pita in MOF, and Emma in TE3. His special interest in Emma is that she is the daughter of his dear friend who was murdered by the man he, unfortunately, only got to kill "once." Unless it's not clear to you, Man On Fire" has nothing to do with The Equalizer movies.
So I'm assuming Vincent never saw the first movie where Robert killed ALL the Russian bad guys, particularly in the Home Depot and ending the head bad guy with a nail gun...
They never really explained who he really was, in all the movies they ask him "who are you?", but he never really gave us an awnser to that question, if anyone knows his background and his past please explain
I loved all three equalizer movies but franchises do tend to get stale after a while. Take for instance the rocky and Rambo franchises and fast and the furious should have stopped 4 or 5movies ago
Ho Hum … Prequels & Sequels are Hollywood’s way to squeeze blood from a stone. Instead of being creative and producing new interesting movies they just run previous good ideas into the ground. This trilogy held my attention and came to a good end. I hope they let it rest in peace.
Just a Question : At the end, there is a procession. Is this procession is related to his actions against Camorra and the whole village is with him ?? or it's just a religious day ?
Since the movie was just released and I haven't had the pleasure to watch it as of yet, thank you for ruining the movie for me. Also thank you for realizing that American's are so stupid that we need a play by play about Robert McCall's life and why he finds it necessary to be a do gooder. Jesus Christ I don't think we could have figured this out, thank you for your 2 cents! UA-cam has become so shitty with the way they handle content these day's, but I'm grateful you still have a job. Because damn what would people do without you!
The movie honestly had me gasping at some scenes, especially the "wheelchair" one. It was great with Dakota's reunion too. Though I WISH we could've heard the original Equalizer theme play, because of how bada** it is and how fitting it could've been in some of the fight scenes. All of the Equalizer movies are dope in their own ways, including this one, but the first Equalizer is the best imo. The mall scene, fighting that bald guy, paired with the vengeance theme and Mccall's skill in stealth on that ending cannot be topped. I'm sure some will agree.
John David Washington for the pre-quel. I'll be there. I like Michael B. Jordan, but I don't see him in this role. He doesn't give me the energy that's needed. Just MY opinion.
this movie had such bad pacing. so many extended scenes that were boring and didnt extend the plot. would have been a 60 minute runtime if you cut that out.
to date there are only 3 movies with sequels that will stand out for all time.........The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, and THE EQUALIZER............just my opinion.
The guy was a passenger of his when he was driving for Lyft. Probably his passenger shared how he lost his pension and he wanted to help him retrieve his money. Following the money leads to discovering the drug operation and the rest follows.
This is definitely a man who seems to believe his own publicity. He seems very self righteous and moralistic, a kind of a cross between Bill Cosby and Clint Eastwood.
I disagree on the part of " Most powerful and most vicious foe"... That jackass didn't even put up a fight when Denzel tortured and drugged him to death... 🤣🤣🤣
What did you think of the ending?

So I'm assuming Vincent never saw the first movie where Robert killed ALL the Russian bad guys, particularly in the Home Depot and ending the head bad guy with a nail gun...
LOVED IT!!!❤❤❤
we more of this movie equalizer 4 lesgo
They never really explained who he really was, in all the movies they ask him "who are you?", but he never really gave us an awnser to that question, if anyone knows his background and his past please explain
When i saw the Equalizer i was Happy Denzel was whipping all of the bad guys !!! GO DENZEL !!!!!!😊
Half the movie is in Italian and No Subtitles for it!!
How am I suppose to connect to the story & characters if I can't understand half the movie?!
Given Denzel in Training Day these movies are an interesting switch.
Local crime boss? He is one of the heads of the Camorra.
I loved all three equalizer movies but franchises do tend to get stale after a while. Take for instance the rocky and Rambo franchises and fast and the furious should have stopped 4 or 5movies ago
Yeah maybe an anime version of it an origin story of a young mccall and how brutal he was as a black op agent.
Edward Woodward would be proud. And that is saying something.
Rambo 6 with Denzil as a vet . Sly and Denzil kicking ass.
I understand they meet ROCKY as he's teamed up with THE TERMINATOR, too. I think it's called RAMTERMROCK 14 or something like that. RAMROCKTERM?
Make a 4th!!!!
Good for you Denzel you finally became a Sicilian honorary citizen buona fortuna!!!
Ho Hum …
Prequels & Sequels are Hollywood’s way to squeeze blood from a stone. Instead of being creative and producing new interesting movies they just run previous good ideas into the ground. This trilogy held my attention and came to a good end. I hope they let it rest in peace.
Dakota fanning and Denzel back together again! “The gunshot sets you free!”
i just watched that movie earlier in netflix hahaaha
Just a Question : At the end, there is a procession. Is this procession is related to his actions against Camorra and the whole village is with him ?? or it's just a religious day ?
Since the movie was just released and I haven't had the pleasure to watch it as of yet, thank you for ruining the movie for me. Also thank you for realizing that American's are so stupid that we need a play by play about Robert McCall's life and why he finds it necessary to be a do gooder. Jesus Christ I don't think we could have figured this out, thank you for your 2 cents! UA-cam has become so shitty with the way they handle content these day's, but I'm grateful you still have a job. Because damn what would people do without you!
John wick equalizer cross over would be nice
Robert we need you in our America to clean up our America politics.
We need our community back!!!
The Equalizer 4
MR MILLS
MR WICK
MR MCCALL
3 gentlemen you dont want to mess with 💪
The movie honestly had me gasping at some scenes, especially the "wheelchair" one. It was great with Dakota's reunion too. Though I WISH we could've heard the original Equalizer theme play, because of how bada** it is and how fitting it could've been in some of the fight scenes.
All of the Equalizer movies are dope in their own ways, including this one, but the first Equalizer is the best imo. The mall scene, fighting that bald guy, paired with the vengeance theme and Mccall's skill in stealth on that ending cannot be topped. I'm sure some will agree.
That wheelchair scene got me too.. like seriously the man is old and sick why kill him like that damn
John David Washington for the pre-quel. I'll be there. I like Michael B. Jordan, but I don't see him in this role. He doesn't give me the energy that's needed. Just MY opinion.
Ending explained quickly: The Equalizer is better than John Wick because he is alive 😂
this movie had such bad pacing. so many extended scenes that were boring and didnt extend the plot. would have been a 60 minute runtime if you cut that out.
to date there are only 3 movies with sequels that will stand out for all time.........The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, and THE EQUALIZER............just my opinion.
Can someone explain the guy at the end who lost his retirement?
The guy was a passenger of his when he was driving for Lyft. Probably his passenger shared how he lost his pension and he wanted to help him retrieve his money. Following the money leads to discovering the drug operation and the rest follows.
however, town doesn't turned up for the cop.
Just use his son so it can look like him save some money. Lol
Funny ❤ your comment but true!
This is definitely a man who seems to believe his own publicity. He seems very self righteous and moralistic, a kind of a cross between Bill Cosby and Clint Eastwood.
Its not Sicily its a village on Amalfi Coat....
I disagree on the part of " Most powerful and most vicious foe"... That jackass didn't even put up a fight when Denzel tortured and drugged him to death... 🤣🤣🤣
The equalizer : far from rome
How about we end it here !
