I haven't seen that one yet. First one I haven't seen in the theater.

it was a decent action movie i guess. i just really dislike the turnaround on shaws character from "guy who murdered han" to "costarring his own film" within the span of two movies...that and the fact that the spinoff franchise exists at all and its not based around any of the main team. just rubs me the wrong way

Han wasn't Hobbs' friend though, so it's not like he got a movie with Vin Diesel's character.


But it would certainly be interesting seeing them try to film a movie where both stars have to look taller than the other.

The only good thing about Hobbes and Shaw was Helen Mirren, and to a lesser extent Vanessa Kirby, and to an even lesser extent the two cameos.

He killed some guy Hobbes barely knows. So what. Hobbes had killed tons of guys too. They're murdermen. The important thing is Shaw never betrayed are country the United States of great Britain.

Plus Han Solo is alive, believe it. In the next movie Charlize Theron will probably be a good guy.

What does Hobbs care that he killed Han? Hobbs tried to kill them all 2 movies ago.

I haven't seen Hobbs and Shaw either but aren't they forced to work together anyway?

well, again i dont really get what the point here is. my beef isnt about shaw being teamed up with hobbes (tbh they do have pretty good chemistry), its that he was quickly made a hero character in 8 and the spinoff

Really, people are complaining about Shaw turning face? On the loving comics subforum?

The Fast and Furious movies are basically a superhero franchise at the point, stop thinking about it and enjoy the butts and cars.

I still adore that a franchise which began with V-Tech car dweebs stealing VCRs and which canonically contains a melancholy Asian teen coming of age indie pic has culminated in Cyborg Elba vs G.I. Joe

So the initial tweet was in reference to Marvel considering how to handle the whole Jeremy Renner turning out to be lovely thing. I replied in the thread that they should just take everything cool about the Fraction run, apply it all to some grizzeld older actor as Barney, and then just have him be the one to teach Kate the ropes. Being Hawkeye's brother is almost as good, and they could include stuff like the circus flashbacks, the deafness, and pizza dog without losing anything because none of that would work with Jeremy Renner as Clint.

Besides, the show's supposed to mostly be about Kate anyway, right? Renner's had his shot, let the real Hawkeye take over in the MCU.

Hope he's not partial to a functional neck :buddy:

This was heavily-rumored a while back, wasn't it? Someone had pretty much a full summary of the film which included Max Lord. Good thing I don't remember anything else about that summary.

I think we knew Lord was in it, and everyone assumed it was Pascal, but this was the confirmation.

Fast and the Furious basically became MASK and i'm down for that.

But the original really is a good film, as much as it's streetcar Point Break (but gently caress that fartcan exhaust & giant spoiler trend it started).

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
Back in the 90s I got Tyrese Gibson confused with Tyson Beckford and when I was a kid I though Fred Ward was Harvey Keitel.

There have been a few times I thought I was confusing Mekhi Phifer with another actor only to find out it was actually Mekhi Phifer after all.

It's funny when people want more of those street racing type cars back because from the beginning the series always presented muscle cars as superior. Whether you believe that is another story.

Well if the question is "which is the superior type of car to drag a safe through the streets of Rio? Muscle car or Street Racing?" I think that the we have a definitive answer.
