Yannick_B posted:He's not not entertaining, but his comedy never feels like a character, he's just being a silly goose, whatever happens. You aren't wrong in that he doesn't fit in this dumb movie or feels like he is acting like anyone really there. It almost feels like someone gave him a bunch of generic plotpoints and he just decided to wing it and make fun of what he was told on screen and made that his character. Still the only part that was even vaguely interesting about the movie, besides John Cena who I will now forever associate with Peacemaker.

Jakob in this movie reminds me of Shaw in F8. They're all tough and serious in their first appearance but becomes an Uncle in the presence of a child. Also just found out that the flight attendant is Paul Walker's daughter. Man, he died 10 years ago and she's an adult now. The MSJ fucked around with this message at 23:53 on May 18, 2023 |

Cena was terrible as a villain in 9 and was part of the reason it's my least favourite. Nothing against him personally but knowing he was never going to be actually bad the entire time really neutered the story. Mamoa was really good. Not as hilarious as they clearly wanted Dante to be but he was a good ham and that's refreshing to have opposite ever-so-serious Dom.

I feel like the fast series has only had a handful of truly standout villains. Statham in 7 rules, and I guess the Rock counts in 5 at least as an antagonist.

Momoa did *really* well, even if I couldn't tell if his "affectations" were an embracing or tongue-in-cheek mocking of "wokeism," but sixty meters of water isn't gonna do poo poo against 20 kilotons.

I was surprised by the end of it how little Statham was in it considering Leterrier directed it but maybe he wasn't brought in early enough to affect the script.

I remember in one of the Raymond Benson 007 novels the car had a self-healing body. At one time it might have fit in the Bond movies, like one of the later Brosnans, but it would work perfectly with this franchise now.

Nothing had any weight. Outside of Momoa, there wasn’t any outlandish stuff that I expect from the series.

If you tape a photo of Helen Mirren to the side of the TV you have a lot of Statham action films to choose from.

What a ridiculous, fun, and stupid movie. "You should have taken my car" was a solid line reminiscent of "whatever you do, don't let them get in their cars" from fast 5.

Momoa and Cena are the only ones who act like they understand that the FF series is supposed to be kind of goofy. The hero worship of Dom is even worse in this one, especially all the extremely stupid things Dom is able to do to save people. One thing that's funny is how they clearly had to shoot around not having Vin and Alan Ritchson next to each other since Ritchson is loving huge both in mass and just general height.

It would be very funny if the ballooning costs and production issues made it so that this is the last one and so it ends with bad guy wins, everyone is dead.

You can really tell this was a troubled production because there are a ton of rough edges. Scott Eastwood just kind of vanishes partway through and just isn't mentioned again while Brie Larson's character just does everything he would have done. The scene where they introduce Alan Ritchson's Ames is just bizarrely shot and recaps the franchise for some reason? Rita Moreno also feels like someone who was cast but they couldn't figure out what to do with her so she just shows up for one scene, says absolutely nothing of importance and then is never mentioned again. Also once again the way they wrote out Brian is just an albatross around the franchise's neck.

It was a sign of dysfunction five years ago but now it's just how they roll.

Alan Smithee posted:I literally don’t remember Scott Eastwood in this or the last movie Scott Eastwood was introduced in 8 and then disappeared for 9. It's not a great sign of quality for a movie if people are asking, "Where's Scott Eastwood?" Edit: I liked the film just fine up until the Rome scene ends. Then everybody gets scattered to the four winds and most people don't really do anything of consequence. The Pete Davidson scene was useless, Letty and Cipher have a fight for no reason (I understand why Letty would want to go after Cipher, but it still didn't amount to anything), Jacob and the annoying kid do shenanigans. Mia and Eastwood just evaporate completely, and it always annoys me when Mia gets completely sidelined since she is literal family. Like as much of a charisma void Scott Eastwood is, he could have fit into the actual narrative, what with being trained under Mr. Nobody and probably not going along with Ames' plan. Really, the entire Agency subplot is such a wet fart. Like I'll accept it as being the reason why they go on spy missions, sure whatever, but now that it's more central, it's too poorly developed to actually make me care. The ending or lack thereof was also real dumb. Like you can make a film where there are still lingering threads, but still end it in a satisfying way. See Empire Strikes Back, the Lord of the Rings films, etc. GrandpaPants fucked around with this message at 03:15 on May 21, 2023 |

Yeah I knew there were going to be more films but ending on a cliffhanger when the next film hasn't even started filming yet is an... interesting choice. Is Dom's son going to have a lovely moustache by the time the water reaches them? Even the films I can recall that are clearly only one part of a whole either had a film already in the bag to be released the following year or they didn't have a "Same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel" ending. We're getting that this summer in fact, with Part 1 of Mission: Impossible and Part 2 next summer.

The Scott Eastwood thing was weird because he doesn't even get written out, he just falls out of a car and is only mentioned off hand once after.
