There was a lot of silly poo poo in that movie such as when Queenie claimed that Vin Diesel and John Cena have „similar features” or when John Cena made three ziplines across Edinburgh

Speaking of features, apparently once their younger selves grew up and got some money, they both got rear end-loads of plastic surgery to be able to look like Vin Diesel and John Cena.

Cena looks like someone took a normal person and scaled them up like .5.

Any scene where he physically interacts with another person just looks goofy.

well obviously the electromagnet imparted a charge into the metal and then the switch reversed the polarity. It's just science.

No, he really doesn't - which is kind of hilarious to me. I mean, let's look at what he's done over the past three movies (including this one).

Saved Dom's life in Dom's initial confrontation with Deckard Shaw.
Provided massive resources and backing to the team in their quest to rescue Ramsey.
(Presumably) Smoothed things over when the team broke part of Dubai.
(Presumably )Smoothed things over when the team fought a war in Los Angeles.

Got Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs freed from prison and somehow not wanted by the police after they basically caused a riot during their escape.
Again provided massive resources and backing to the team.
Got Hobbs and Deckard Shaw pardoned.
Kept Dom from going to prison for the stuff he did for Cipher.
(Presumably) got Owen Shaw pardoned as well.

And in F9 we learn that in addition to the above

He saved Han's life and helped him fake his death.

Mr. Nobody is basically Spy Santa Claus.

Actually I was thinking, you know how Roman joked about running into the Ninja Turtles?

Why not? I mean both properties are about Family and ridiculous spectacle. It be perfect. And plus with Roman's increasing idiot badass credit, he needs to get some ninja kills down stat.

So last year was really hard and honestly my mental health took a toll. Really been working on it and since I have seen every Fast and Furious movie on opening night since the first one of course I saw this one. And it ruled. Really felt like a nice return to the movies and definitely going to see it again. Justin Lin is a fantastic director (everyone should watch Warrior) and it was just a ton of fun. Highly recommend.

well why not

This reminds me, just rewatched the first one, still a classic. I find it funny how "The Trucker with a shotgun" who they face in the climax is by far the most formidable foe they've ever faced. And he got away too.

When they were foreshadowing a bit with "these truckers are gonna take matters into their own hands!", I didn't take it seriously. Turns out a trucker with a shotgun is not something they were ready for that day. Maybe an homage to Easy Rider in a roundabout way.

It'll turn out that the super-duper-secret-mastermind was actually "Trucker with a shotgun" all along.

Well, the only people that don't have some version of "further problems down the road" are the ones that are already dead. Mr. Nobody helping out kept them from being already dead. Further problems down the road isn't a bad price to pay when you consider the alternative.

Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

I feel like all of the plot beats involving (very mild spoiler) Michael Rooker and Helen Mirren and Cardi B and really anything involving London really didn't need to be in the movie. Like I don't think there was anything lost just going straight to Edinburgh aside from the opportunity for a couple of cameos? That entire part also seemed kinda half-baked, since there could have been something more done with the bad guys outsmarting/out-performing the Family instead of just Jakob gets smuggled in, magnets get turned on, zip lines. The resulting chase was good, though.

I also feel like Han and even Cena really felt wasted. All of the emotional heavy lifting for Jakob was done via flashback with another actor and like, one scene with Dom, and despite saying that the spy world was his world, he didn't really do much of anything, compared with the constant threat that was Deckard Shaw in Furious 7.

Still had fun with the set pieces, but it dragged a lot in the middle. Was a great reminder of why theaters own though since that movie was LOUD. Vroom vroom.

Dom superman punches forty swat dudes and tears an entire building down around himself by pulling on chains JUST because he needs to reflect on his childhood and would prefer to do that somewhere cool, like in some watery abyss filled with debris and bodies.


Not the best entry in the series. But worth seeing for this moment.

Exposing ferromagnetic metal to an intense magnetic field aligns the domains and makes it into a magnet itself. That, in fact, is how permanent magnets are manufactured.

Therefore, the metal objects picked up became strongly magnetized with a polarity aligned with the existing field (which is the lowest energy state). If you then reverse the electomagnet's polarity, these newly-created magnets would be violently repelled from the car.

As long as we obey the laws of physics, the scene makes perfect sense.

It really was the birth of the modern Fast Franchise

It also served effectively as a reboot (hence the title) for everyone who hadn't seen the first 3

And just like the first movie, "Truck Driver with Gun" is their greatest nemesis
