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.

Obviously this is all leading to James Marsden being the main villain so he can get his revenge on Nobody for being blinded.

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 |

Yeah once they started aping the Bond and M:I franchises they have wanted the travelogue aspect but it's actually kind of tough to do without audiences going "sorry, we're where now? And why...?"

Watching 2F2F when you were first introduced to the series with the later movies must be a bit weird because Roman hadn't been Flanderized yet into slapstick and the butt of everyone's jokes. He and Brian made for a good team.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:I watched 2F2F for the first time last week and it holds up surprisingly well. Paul Walker turns in a MUCH better performance in that than he did in the first movie, and all of the things people ragged on it for at the time -- the cartoonish physics, the absurd gadgets, the largely non-actor cast -- turned out to be weirdly prophetic in retrospect. Yeah I rewatched it not too long ago and that stuff didn't even faze me since I'm now used to the later films. Although there is one moment, I think during the relay race, where it looks like Brian engages a hyperdrive

F8's main hook actually sounds like a perfect thing on paper for being the first movie after Paul Walker. Like Brian isn't there and what happens without him? The team immediately implodes and has to fight against Dom. But in the execution I really feel Brian's absence because it just seems way too focused on Dom and also getting into Mary Sue territory. Like is he so much better and clever than all the rest of them combined now? Reminds me of Doc Savage, who has a whole crew of specialists but ultimately are superfluous to Doc and are there more for flavour. (F8 also seemed funnier as a concept for the meta reason that it was in the zeitgeist for the heroes to fight each other. Civil War and Bats vs. Supes and F8 were all out within a year of each other.) Lobok fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Aug 18, 2021 |

Can't believe there hasn't yet been an explosive high-octane edge-of-your-seat post about how Jason Momoa is going to be in Fast 10! Makes sense to add him as a villain because as part of the Dom's crew I feel like he would overshadow Vin Diesel, literally and figuratively.

I just caught the end of 6 on TV and I lol everytime I see that team-up move at the end when Dom lifts the big bruiser guy up by the legs and Hobbs does a huge diving elbow clothesline to him. What a great move. Does it come from wrestling?

It is stupid and ridiculous but Brian and Roman make a good team. The first movie was Point Break but the second is more Lethal Weapon. Better in hindsight because you see why Roman becomes part of the team later on and before he becomes fully comedic relief.

The highway tank scene may be the best in the series. I remember the audience reaction when Dom saved Letty, too. That mix of incredulous but appreciative laughter.

muscles like this! posted:Mia coming back has definitely screwed up their write off of Brian. Because there's no circumstance where she would show up but he wouldn't. IIRC there was a rumor that they were going to try and deep fake Paul Walker back but I don't think that ever actually happened. He's at home with the kids! It's not really a big deal to me because it kind of sucks to have your role eliminated because someone else died.

I just did a holiday rewatch of the whole series and F9 is definitely the worst. There are 2 things about the rocket car that bug me. First is that they try to set the whole thing up throughout the movie with Roman going on about their apparent invincibility, which is just way too meta of a gag for my liking in this series (and I think at the point in the film where he first brings it up it isn't even true? Han's reveal comes later). And the second thing is that the rocket car scene is technically a little bit of action that involves a car but there is no actual driving. What really brings the movie down is the reliance on Cena as the villain, who is not a threat because we're just waiting for the inevitable teamup because Charlize Theron appears so early and has somehow become the Blofeld of the series. Part and parcel with Cena being a non-villain is how much screentime we need for the unsatisfying Dom & Jacob backstory. He just lets Dom think he murdered their father for absolutely no gain?

They do still live life a quarter mile at a time. Quarter mile a second that is, in their hyper cars fueled by love from hacking into the Family Dimension.

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 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.
