Film was amazing. Absolutely terrible film and I loved every moment of it.

People keep saying Dante is basically The Joker but they're wrong. He's Majima.

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.

:goofy:

Momoa's character is Goro Majima filtered through a western lens.

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.

Level 1 Equipment vs Level 50 Equipment.

At this point, I'm surprised that they're not just rebooting the franchise and going "back to the roots of the series."

(Also, that would suck. I don't want to watch a movie that is just about fast cars. I want superhero spectacle).
