This is painfully bad, like even beyond the technicals. But did dude just shoot a plane down with a Javelin?

I finally finished this last week and it is dumber than anything I could have imagined. I got two major observations: First, I liked the part where Dom's car fought two helicopters, which had harpooned his doors. Even though they managed to lift up the back of his car, he was able to shift gears, and press on the peddle enough to make the car go back on the ground and he could defeat the helicopters. Second, John Cena was smart to have his character die one movie after his introduction. These films are easy paychecks, but the acting is always lazy stratdax posted:Two films? It's gonna be three. Fast X, Fast X part 2, Fast X part 3. Just continuing the absolute nonsense that is the F&F naming scheme. The Homestuck naming scheme Combat Pretzel posted:Finally saw this. As expected even dumber than every movie before it. I would have paid a full ticket price of admission to see blurry iphone footage of the exact moment that broke Justin Lin. Just what exactly was Vin Diesels ego defining moment that made the guy who directed half of the franchise just up and walk away from a $15,000,000 pay check?

muscles like this! posted:It's very funny to think about how the first movie ends in the epic car jump that then proceeds to completely wreck the car and compare it to what Dom does with his car in X. There's like two Epic Car Jumps in 9 alone that are basically the same CG with different actors, which elicited a polite chuckle from the audience I was with.

Vin Diesel kept threatening to "Russian Roulette" cast and crew and claiming he "couldn't die"; it sounds like playing the invincible Dom for twenty-six years really got to his head.

If that doesn't sell Chargers I don't know what will I mean, there's also a lot of "movie magic" going on in those scenes you're not going to pick up on from just watching the movie. For example, the film techs almost certainly lubed that safe to hell, which would have reduced the friction from it dragging on the road and drastically reducing the number of horsepower those chargers needed to deliver.

The vaults they used were also only 9000 lbs (4.5 US tons) and modified further, and many scenes were a vault mockup draped over a semi cab so it was actually being driven and steered, not pulled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaHxGu5YeKM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXhxDpdfoYU Name Change posted:If it's like video game contracts, they may not be able to portray the car as destroyed at all.

I still like the fast saga, it's just a magical formula. I enjoyed 10 even more than 8 or 9. Random note, I highly recommend that French movie Taxi (1998), I may have recommended that before, that is primo Fast fan viewing. Also this wild Indian spy movie Pathaan from this year, that is nuts and charming.

Me: Mr Toretto I have in my vagina a doomsday device and the only way you can stop it is to dick me down Gf: tick tock Mr Toretto Me: dick... cock.

It makes sense to retcon Han's death since nobody was happy about it and he's generally a good character. Bringing back Giselle is dumb because it pushes things too far for a character that nobody really cared about in the first place.

The events of the previous movie were actually just a campaign in a tabletop game that Dom played with the whole crew. This movie will be them finishing the campaign but the whole movie is just them at the table. And if you're curious, yes, they do roll a nat 20 to get out of the big plane crash.

Dom wakes up and discovers that everything after the first movie was just a coma dream after he crashed his car at the end of FF1. Although really I don't know how they walk things back after the last movie ending with Dom driving down an exploding dam.

Spending less money is fair as the last budget was kind of ridiculous, but high stakes was never the problem with the franchise. Last one was just poorly written and structured compared to the others. I don’t get the throwback to the first. They have too many characters now for something intimate like that.
