An article about Dom's shifting ethnicity and how the last couple of movies have made him kind of pan-Latino.

They forgot about fast and furious 4 where there is also latino lore.

They also forgot about Los Bandoleros, the prequel to Fast and Furious 4

But anyway while it's hard for a multi billion dollar franchise to NOT be cynical and calculating about everything, Dom is clearly a character who is very mixed in a way that feels quite normal and natural to people who are mixed, and possibly very weird and confusing to people who are not. And naturally the nature of his mixed-ness expands ever more as the series goes on and adds heretofore unmentioned family members and creates ever more connections for this international criminal thief/robber/superspy/car warrior extraordinaire.

lol at every family photo being stills from past movies

Momoa’s character was an absolute delight, everything with Vin was a snooze fest (how can such sick action set pieces be boring?! what a charisma vacuum) and booo at Gisele being back. Han’s return shoulda been the only resurrection in the series.

was hoping the son would’ve stayed kidnapped til part 2 but eh, can’t win ‘em all.

Momoa was clearly having too much fun in this movie. Agreed on the kidnapping ending too soon. Dom should rescue him and then learn that "Cool Uncle Dante taught me to deal drugs!"

The Fast movies always border on (and sometimes cross) the line of being either stupid, mindless and fun, or just stupid and mindless.
To me, Fast 8 and 9 were only stupid and mindless, but Fast X was also fun. By no means does it top Fast 5 and 6, the best in the series.

I admit that I did kind of like the "cult with cars bit. I do wish the series would just bite the bullet and say that Paul Walker's character died peacefully in his sleep or something.

For all the Twitter drama, Johnson "walked away from the family" for one movie, and still made assloads of bank doing other movies. He probably got a bucket of money for showing up in X and saying one line.

Saw this. Was pretty let down. I loved 5-7 and I think that's when the series was at it's best. 8 was alright, 9 was completely forgettable honestly. I watched it, I know I watched it, I completely forgot it. Like, completely. I forgot that John Cena was in it. I forgot that Alana died, apparently. This series is burdened by its own canon. There are too many characters, too many switching sides, too many coming back from the dead, to keep track of them all. I couldn't figure out why Hobbes wasn't in it. Even while watching the movie I couldn't figure out why characters were fighting (first Han and Jason Statham, then the two girls).

The effects and action sequences were alright. I'm OK suspending my disbelief in physics for a time, but things have become so over the top that it's just silly now. Dom's car, whatever he's driving at the time, has the thickest plot armor of anything in the conceivable universe. They should make aeroplane black boxes out of his car.

Jason Mamoa's character was just out of place and way overacted. I hated every minute he was on screen. He's in all places, at all times, except of course in every movie prior to this one. He was elsewhere... plotting... apparently.

Since they went to space in the last one I was hoping they would take it further and have to go to either the moon or Mars in this one, maybe racing buggies or something. Instead they put a brake on the ridiculousness of the plot but sped forward with the ridiculousness of the characters and individual sequences, if that makes sense, and I think I'm glad this is the end of the franchise. I used to love it but it's collapsing in on itself.

I Floved Mamoa's character in this. Other movies look at him and his physique and make him this brooding big guy hero type. This one lets him be a metrosexual sociopath and he's clearly loving every second of it.

Han and Jason Statham fight because the last time Statham saw Han, he had just "killed" him. So when Han shows up on Statham's door, Statham assumes Han is there to kill him and so Statham attacks Han first. He basically says this outright right before he pulls Han back into his gym thing.

F&F movies tend to drop every two years. That's long enough in between each that a re-watch of the previous movies (or at least a reread of their Wikipedia plot summaries) before watching the next one is probably a good idea.

So Fast X was kind of mid, huh?

Some good action (of course) but it's a bad sign if you walk out of a movie reminiscing on the tighter told storytelling of Fast 9.

He was the inverse of Statham in 7 and I loved both characters in their omniscient and omnipotent methods, but played completely opposite. The movie just got buried under it's own weight of too many people getting too many scenes. Good riddance to Jacob in one of the most ridiculous things ever , but he isn't dead anyways

Cut out 2/3rds of vin going through the motions and the entire London detour and you probably have a good movie.

Just saw it tonight, so good! What a movie. Also had a friend there who had X as their first entry in the series, since Tokyo Drift back in the day. They dug it.

What a kitchen sink masterpiece of Fast movie magic. Now I gotta wait two years. Also Han was way cool, I liked in scenes with a few characters goofing around he was just being cool. Man that guy is cool.

Hope Kurt Russell is back for 11 too.

Eventually the "Family" is going to need to rent a stadium for their Bar-B-Qs because they'll be as large as the Avengers side in the massive battle in Endgame. And we'll see that when they come together to battle their final enemy - CGI Kaiju Decepticon Paul Walker.

I'm watching fast 9 and as funny as it is that roman is realising he's in a superhero movie it's a bit much when everyone else is doing it.

He's the best character in a not great movie so far.

edit: lmao these two guys are having an argument about their daddy issues in front of all of dom's crew and a bunch of special forces grunts

when did the crew start just murdering people? they shot up a bunch of $country military and now dom is throwing dudes into what looks like a bottomless pit like he's neo in the matrix

edit: they're sending a goddamn fiero to space. "As long as we obey the laws of physics we'll be fine."

Oh my god space nos. Why did they need to break the satellite if Dom and friends were stealing the thing from the infinitely sliding truck?
