You guys have to watch "The Magnificent Seven" with Denzel Washington

[@blacprophet1153]

What we are witnessing is the most savage, primal and brutal aspects of Robert McCall's dark side/personality and training! He is an extremely highly skilled and well trained killer! I have to agree with Steven when Nikki said that Vikings are better I was no! I've seen them attack a village rape every woman and female child and then murder everyone else! It's very disturbing to actually see some of the things human beings did to each other in the past!!!

[@erinstanger416]

Hi y’all! I love watching your reactions, especially about anything that has to do with GOT. I was wondering though if you have ever seen Outlander? It’s really good and it has that fantasy element that GOT and TWD have. So I’m really curious about how you would react to it. Please give it shot.

[@JoelAguilarCerna]

Glass movie reaction please!

[@TiaraJKW]

Please React to the movie "Dejavu" Denzel Washington

[@km.scrivo]

First saw this a few weeks ago, and all I had to say was that Denzel really gave an immensely powerful and beautiful sendoff to this character, and because this was the third and final installment of the franchise, the filmmakers brought a different taste to the table, but showed that age caught up to Robert but he is now at peace with his life.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

yeah, it was the perfect ending for Robert. loved it

[@theworldisimmense]

Age caught up to Robert? He was still Killing

[@Pochitaman30]

Is equalizer 3 the final one ..?

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

​@dziesekhrietuokire5023 yes. At least with Denzel. He said he's not coming back mainly because of his age. But the director and writer is considering a prequel surg either Denzel son or Michael b jordan playing young Robert McCall

[@TheDarkangelazrael]

When he walked away from his table, he left his spoon behind. He REALLY found peace in that town. This was so amazing!

[@gjhoward]

Denzel and Dakota's families have been friends and remained close ever since Man on Fire back in 2004. So nearly 20 years of friendship.

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

[@shect1]

Tony Scott + Denzel was always a great combo and anyone who enjoyed this trilogy should love Man on Fire

[@John-ru4iz]

I honestly think this is my favorite of the three. It feels distinctly humbler and quieter than the first two, which were more your typical retired spy story (albeit super well done). But this one puts all the focus on Robert just finding a new place in life to relax and retire and be happy, and it's not even a struggle for him to protect it. He just wipes the floor clean and kicks his feet up.

[@fogsworth]

I agree. It's very different from the first two, but really great.

It's awful. Dakota Fanning's acting is atrocious and not believable.

When you "didn't expect that" at the beginning -- Director Fuqua smartly shows you Robert's deathwish face, a man lost in a series of assassination jobs merging into one soulless reality. He's ready to end the silent suffering with a bullet. Surprisingly to him, the seaside charm and honest folk rehabilitate his body as well as his soul.

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

Especially his soul. That line about, "because of these people, I'm starting to understand peace. You can't take that from me," was him saying so out loud in as few words as possible.

[@jimreilly917]

Excellent take on the character and that setting point.

[@budoshi-f2l]

He just knew that gunshot was going to be painful and fatal, that is all .

[@warrenbfeagins]

It's been a while since I've gone multiple times to the theater to rewatch a movie. This movie did it for me. It was sooooooo much of a fun slow burner. The acting, the setting, the story, the heart, the opening scene or kills brutality in general and even the townspeople who we as the audience were allowed to get to know and therefore understand McCalls motivations. I think everyone who saw this movie wanted to go to Italy. It was a great send off to a character we all love. Great reaction as always guys.

[@timmer14414]

I am pretty sure the knife he dangled in front of the big bad guy after staging the drug overdose was from Equalizer 2 when he carved up the one guy at the end. And the twist at the end, Dakota Fannings character being Susan’s daughter, chefs kiss. Perfect.

[@So_Sag]

I soooooo enjoyed watching live with you guys. I’m so glad you enjoyed and Nikki gave what she was supposed to regarding emotions. This movie was epic and I couldn’t have been prouder to see twice in theaters and purchase prior to dvd release. EQ3 was everything!

[@4Kandlez]

I like how he gets up close and personal looking into the eyes of the top dogs as the lifeforce leaves their bodies, that's a major dominance thing, chilling.

[@charlestusin274]

I think the fact he forgot his spoon was so crazy. His comfort and love there is curing some of his OCD!!

[@AJimiDigginKat]

When people compare this franchise to the John Wick, one it's obvious they are not paying attention to the differences. It's so much more than action sequences.

[@elijahalonso5612]

Both are amazing and the best franchises but we can never compare both are different both have different vibes never the same and both are the greatest actors of their eras to ever live

[@jaredc.8849]

Thanks for getting to this movie so quickly. It's been a few years since ive gone to a movie theatre, but I honored this movie by making sure to go to the first viewing at the closest theatre with a friend that normally doesnt like action movies... this action movie is a cut above what you normally find in the genre.

[@cherylblossom8687]

Denzel Washington actually requested that Dakota Fanning be the central role on the other side for the CIA. He loved working with her as a child and she had grown so much in her acting career that he thought she could pull it off mama just an FYI❤😂😂

[@paulhewes7333]

You will notice that all of the big fighting was either by gun or off screen. Denzel is 72 so he cant do the same amount of crazy fighting as he did in the last 2 movies.

[@biblicalfailla4614]

There's a reason Denzel has never done a sequel before Equalizer, and now he's given us 3 absolute MASTERPIECES. I love John Wick movies but these add so much emotion to them. And he's never fighting for himself but others.

Masterpiece? This one was TERRIBLY predictable and boring.

@NikkiStevenReact 13:42 I said the same thing when I realised it was Dakota .. And for a bit of extra trivia at 25:55 the line he uses about "the way you pronounce your M's is a little dry" was Dakota's line in "Man On Fire" when she was teaching him Spanish.

[@TheFalconerNZ]

Was watching this with them live Watch-A-Long style (My first time watching as well) when it got to 2:30 to 2:47 & I thought & started commenting in chat "What do you do walking into this to find Robert sitting in a chair waiting for you?" then enter to post at 3:37. I was close but just as bad for you, maybe worse at least gun point it looked like you were safe. Great reaction Nikki & Steve React as always keep them coming & I keep watching. P.S. Love the 'In your face' joke & I still agree the best kill was the gun through the eye.

[@Therealdudeman]

Robert staring into the brother’s eyes, no.. Robert staring into his SOUL was the coldest moment. I got shivers when that happened

[@TalkingHands308]

I believe the ending scene where he gives Collins her mother's little black book is an easter egg to Man on Fire. Remember in Man on Fire he uses Peta's diary to write notes in throughout the film after he thought she was dead. And at the end when they reunite on that highway overpass he gives her the diary back. So in a way, he does the same here, he uses Susan's notebook after she dies, and then at the end gives it to Dakota Fanning.

[@edviera5326]

Great Reaction!!! As a side note, Nikki made reference to the Twilight movie. Do you guys know Dakota Fanning who plays Emma in this movie was also the actress who played Jane the Voltaire blonde headed vampire cutie?

I easily enjoyed this movie over the less plausible marathon action sequences that are John Wick 4. They feel more earned and impactful here. Or it could be because I fell in love with the location and portrayal of community. Or because John mostly fights for himself whereas Robert fights for the sake of others. Great reaction thanks guys.

I saw this one twice, Dolby Cinema & IMAX at AMC. Seeing how far McCall has come as this force of nature is quite the experience. Having him near death and defeat was hard to look at. I really thought he was gone for good. He reveals more of his invulnerablity as he gets to know the people of this Italy province. Seeing the best of them and the worse of them. Of course, McCall truly lives up to his name by dealing out the most major punishment to these mafia goons and their boss getting it the worse is well-deserved. Onscreen with Dakota Fanning after 20 years since Man on Fire was some great conversational scenes and dialogue. The reveals of McCall's reason for being overseas and Fanning's agent character made me feel so good. That everything happens for a reason, no mistakes or consequences. A worthy finale indeed. Glad to have been along for it. Justice perfectly balanced as it should be.

[@CrazySeabee]

Altamonte is the name of the fictional town in this movie. The name of the real town is Atrani, Italy and it is a beautiful place to vist.

Often, James-Bond beginnings don't link to the rest of the story - they end one tale, and the movie deals with something else (such as Robert Uber-Driver and the Cocaine Yuppies.
