Maybe I'll have a better opinion a second time if I watch it at home but I was disappointed with this one. Especially for having to drive 45 minutes out of the city and back to see it at a drive-in. The humour didn't land and the space scene felt like they were doing it because everyone joked about expecting it to happen at some point. If you're going to have cars in space there should be some kind of race or chase or battle. I did like the action sequences, especially the magnet stuff, but in between it dragged. I'm feeling the loss of Brian in the franchise because I don't care about Dom all that much.

Was Scott Eastwood too blatant a Brian clone that they dropped him completely?

A good entry into the franchise. Very nice to have Justin Lin back. I think he is probably the world's biggest fan of the series and it really shows - there's a love for the characters (major and minor with all the cameos). Look forward to seeing what X and X-2 do.

F9 was exactly what I wanted it to be. B+ story, ridiculous car stunts, fan service callbacks and cameos, and FAMILY

Forget retconning han's death any more, retcon the heist in the first one and it turns out those combo dvd/vcrs are actually some sort of secret superweapon. We need to remember that 'trucker with a gun' is actually the teams greatest enemy.

Not the strongest of the series but I did enjoy it overall and John Cena is a great addition to the cast. Mostly I was disappointed by the over use of CGI, I thought that the return of Lin would be a mean a greater use of practical effects but drat near everything was CGI or heavily touched up with CGI. It really takes me out of the action. Some of the sets were terrible too, that Tokyo street looked like something out of a theme park. But I can't be too mad at a film that has Vin Diesel recreate the balrog scene and return as Torreto the White.

I want the villain of F10 to make Vin sit down and have a parade of all the henchmen's families come out and chastize him for killing them. Like an Italian Mamma or something coming out and wailing at Vin's feet holding up a picture of some random scrub that got iced in Fast 5 and Vin just sitting there stone faced like he normally is because he's some machismo joke but his eyes have a 1000 yard stare and then the villain asks "Family? You don't know what that means."

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/dwayne-johnson-emily-blunt-jungle-cruise-1234984896/ Interview with Johnson about Jungle Cruise but has a reply to Vin Diesel's remarks. quote:When asked about Diesel’s comments, Johnson says, “I laughed and I laughed hard. I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I’ll leave it at that. And that I’ve wished them well. I wish them well on Fast 9. And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast & Furious movies they do that will be without me.” Also kind of sounds like no more Hobbs and Shaw?

Nah, it was just a shift in director. It took 4 movies for Lin to learn that perfect balance between absurdity and sincerity that makes the movies work. James Wan had something very similar and Gray never quite found the sweet spot. Paul Walker, despite by all accounts being a nice guy, was not the thing holding FnF together.

Nifty article covering the work Proof Inc did on Previs/Postvis VFX for Fast 9. I've worked Postvis with these guys since Fast 7, and its certainly one of the crazier productions you can get to work on- I feel lucky to have been able to contribute some (accurate) visual touches to the space sequence! https://www.awn.com/vfxworld/proofs-f9-visualization-was-race-finish Okan170 fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Jul 25, 2021 |

atrus50 posted:wow, wish they had gotten into some detail on how they came at those magnet gags Coming in after Previs I can't speak to the creative planning of it, except that there are a lot of hot wheels around the office. Execution-wise, most of the magnet gags are the standard movie things: cranes, CG and lots of careful wire work (with rig/wire removal). The production tends to shoot a lot of it practically which means crazy rigs to launch cars around, and the article is right on about how its a pleasure to see plates come in- sometimes you get something like the flaming tire blowing past the camera at the climax of 8 that are just magnificent. It gives you a real appreciation for the practical side when you've got stunts and pyro at the top of their game.

The genuinely surprising part of these movies is that we still haven't gotten a decent video game out of them. They lend themselves so well to some sort of "diddy kong racing but sexy/gritty" formula, where some people are in planes, some in hovercraft, some in tanks and so on. It's weird that we never got it. Then again, I guess video game adaptations of film properties have been dying off for a long time. They used to be almost guaranteed. Everyone posted:I don't know. I could see the idea of Walker being the nice guy that got the egos of Diesel and Johnson to get along being something that held FnF together. I see that argument. He did have that channing tatum quality of being able to have on screen chemistry with basically anyone.

There was a mobile game around the time 7 or 8 came out IIRC. And yeah, Walker 100% brought an easy charisma to the franchise. You wanted that guy to succeed. And he would interact in funnier ways with the rest of the cast. Lobok fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Jul 28, 2021 |
