Dead people don't come back to life as spirits, this is fact. I know this since there's no way those things that I saw have ever been human.

The Fate of the Furious I could feel my intellect drop every minute I watched. Statham and Rock need to do a buddy-anything movie like right now. Helen Mirren smacking Statham upside the head is hilarious. Vin Diesel drains the fun out of every scene he's in. Fortunately, the director understood this. They now have an honest to god supervillain to go up against. Kurt Russell will never not be awesome, no matter how stupid the movie... BONUS: Rock leading a girl's soccer team in an awesome Haka.

Is it weird that I have no desire to see the new FF movie with the sole exception of Helen Mirren being in it?

Let's be honest though, I already know that there is zero danger to any of the principal characters at any point in the movie and the last trailer I saw showed every action setpiece so there's not much left to get my lazy rear end to see it. The series peaked with 5 anyway.

Am I correct in assuming that the series has reached the point where the villain from the previous movie joins the team in the next movie? Michelle Rodriguez came back from the dead and became a villain, but by the next movie she was back in the family in time to confront The Rock. And then The Rock joins the family because there's a bigger badder dude in Jason Statham. But now it turns out that Statham isn't all bad, because there's someone meaner out there.

The Rock and Michelle Rodriguez were definitely antagonists in a film each, but I wouldn't really stretch it to villain. Each of them were back on the good side before the end of those movies. Statham is the first flat-out villain from a previous entry to join the family.

Yeah the Rock and Michelle were not villains. Statham was and he straight up murdered Han so it's a bit iffy. Charlize is a legit bond supervillain who almost definitely will not be joining the teamCacator posted:Let's be honest though, I already know that there is zero danger to any of the principal characters at any point in the movie and the last trailer I saw showed every action setpiece so there's not much left to get my lazy rear end to see it.

The shounen anime/manga approach. The Rock is Vegeta.

The next movie had better be set in either: A.) The Moon or B.) Underwater TerrorDome Otherwise what's the point? Also make Hulk Hogan the antagonist.

All I want is for the F&F series to end with a perfect transition to Pitch Black.

I know this is probably an opinion shared by very few people, but I just don't like The Rock any more. I know he's a super nice guy. I know he perfectly understands his role as a cheesy action hero. I know he plays that role well. But he just comes off as super fake to me from following his Twitter and interviews. I don't know what it is, but I have a hard time coming up with any enthusiasm for his films any more. All of his stuff in the most recent Fast movies just feels cheesy in the wrong way to me. "Daddy's gotta go to work" and breaking the cast off in theory should be bad rear end, but for some reason it's super cringey for me. All of his dialogue feels really fake and forced. I don't know why. This may be silly, but I felt the same way about his wrestling career. The guy has a ton of natural charisma, but I feel like he dials it up too much. Before the Scorpion King, everything he did felt natural because it seems like he played things how they naturally came to him. But when he went off to do the Scorpion King, I remember he said he spent a bunch of time doing intense acting classes to learn how to act. And his original management team tried to steer him into traditional parts so he would be an actor instead of a action hero. He later turned that around and embraced what made him famous, but it feels like he's still utilizing what he learned from those classes when I think he felt more natural before he started doing the exaggerated mannerisms. Compare his wrestling interviews before The Scorpion King and after (like the stuff with The Hurricane) and his later work feels a lot more animated, zany, exaggerated, and scripted. His most recent wrestling work ("when I say yabba you say dabba!") is terrible. I really respect the guy and like him as a person, as much as you can like a celebrity without knowing them, but I have no interest in his movies at this point. Fast Five was probably the last Rock movie that I enjoyed.

Yeah, The Rock checks off almost all of the boxes for what I liked about Arnold movies like Commando and Predator but for some reason I just can't get into his recent stuff. Maybe the new Fast movie will turn it around for me or I'm looking at things wrong.

Arnold is completely himself at all times, just look at his docs and interviews and the amazing commentaries he does with Vorhoeven (The robot! Her tits get bigger!). The Rock is a much smoother operator, but just might be a response to the increased scrutinity of the times, I don't know. Still think he's only getting better tho.

The Rock is essentially his wrestling persona in Fast Eight. Every line sounds like a wrestling promo.

My friend had this pitch for a movie where The Rock goes back in time to kill Hitler, except it turns out Hitler is necessary to the space-time continuum so he replaces Hitler and then fights himself trying to kill Hitler. He describes it way funnier.

There have actually been court cases concerning ghosts before. Mostly courts don't worry about whether ghosts are real but about whether people think that they're real. So if you sell a house and neglect to say that it's haunted, the legal concern is whether the buyer would want to know that fact.

Maybe the new Fast movie will turn it around for me or I'm looking at things wrong. Arnold did amazing action movies before regressing to crappy family films and comedies, The Rock did crappy family films and comedies before finally trying to become an amazing action star for real. Like, remember how the end of The Rundown had a cameo from Arnie as a sort of passing-the-torch moment from him to The Rock...and then it was eight years until Fast Five and until then all he did was stuff like The Pacifier and Race to Witch Mountain and Get Smart.
