I don't think is official confirmation, but Luke Evans said in an interview that Helen Mirren is indeed playing the mother of the Shaw brothers.

He was so amazing in Hot Fuzz, perfect and if it weren't for him it would miss something. I wish he'd do more comedy.

Dalton is the secret best classic Bond, and pretty much always great.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about 4 and 7 (and 6, although to a much lesser extent) just feels off compared to the rest of the series. They feel soulless.

I sort of know what you mean in regards to 7. I think it's represented well in the action scenes. That Caucasus chase scene in the mountains is amazing, but never quite hits the highs of something like Fury Road. It's by no means bad, but it just never gels as well as the vault scene, or the tank scene or the runway chase. There's something ineffably off about its pacing and energy.

4 is just weak as hell. It's not interesting enough to be Tokyo Drift, nor insane enough to be Rio Heist.

7, to me, honestly had the most heart of any of them. The Walker stuff got me choked up all three times I saw it in the theater.

My problem with 7 is that the Caucasus chase was the best scene in the movie, and it was the first big setpiece. Even with the ridiculous car jumping between buildings bit later, it was all downhill from there, and that's too bad.

That was actually amazing. I didn't expect one of the most sincere and beautiful cinema moments of the year to come in a movie where the Rock kills a drone with an ambulance.

Actually, the more I think about it, it's really just the action scenes that are off. But I'm not going to hold that against Wan. The rythmn behind an action scene is something that takes a really long time to get right. Chan's a master, as is Miller, and, astonishingly, Lin, but the pacing of any action scene is really hard to get. It's so easy for it to end up feeling either so frantic (like Taken 3, for instance) or so languid (like The Force Awakens) that it loses all impact. 7 isn't nearly as bad as either of them, but it isn't 6.

Some goon on here had the remarkable and believable fact that the runway chase took Lin well over a year to fully plan out, how all the pieces in play interacted with each other, never mind film.

You know what really makes an action scene fun and exciting? Droning sounds that I guess are technically music playing under them all.

I was imagining almost the inverse, with raptors frantically driving a car to escape a rampaging Dwayne Johnson.

The exact ending of Jurassic Park, but instead of a T-Rex, it's The Rock grabbing raptors and tossing them into hanging dinosaur skeletons.

I feel the same way, but I can excuse both of them. 4 just had a ton of work it had to do to reassemble the franchise's diaspora and set the stage for future movies, and it's hard to get that done while also having a good caper. 7 was likely a very different movie before Paul Walker returned to the source. The shift in perspective to Dom being the audience surrogate had weird tonal consequences - the audience is supposed to have some distance from Dom. He's supposed to have some mystery to him. I hope they figured that out for 8. I'm betting they did.

6, I think, is a victim of 5's success.

The felt like one of those old trailers where they'd just show a bunch of the movie more or less uninterrupted, rather than the ultra slick editing of modern trailers. It wasn't as well cut as the first one, but hints at some loving insane set pieces.
