Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw

The repartee between the leads is painfully awkward and unfunny. The air marshall provided the first smile, 60 minutes in. $200 million budget, much of it CGI, yet the action did not excite. I really wish I picked Crawl instead.

That is a bit what the two stars are supposed to be. Though don't ask me who is who - if you insist I'd say Statham is the unstoppable force and Dwayne the immovable object. Which would make sense, since he is the Rock ... Ok kidding aside now, we know this unlikely team made waves in the last Fast and Furious movie andwas the best thing about it. At least the funniest thing about it.

So if you liked that and you came for more of the same, you will be treated that way. And you should not expect anything other than just silly action and all that accompanies that. Idris Elba has quite the appearance early on, but cannot add to that after that. He is just a stepping stone - I'm being a bit unfair. He has quite a few moments. Still overall you might be a bit disappointed in his character - but an obvious continuation of Hobbs and Shaw might shed some light on that (who am I kidding it made enough money for them to continue with this)

The movie really live up audience expectation. It's dumb, ridiculous,fun, and crazy too. This why audience watch this kind of movie because of its entertainment value. The movie really offer audience a lot this time. You got Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham bicker all the time like husband and wife, ridiculous action sequence, and powerful family theme which I think very relatable for some audience. The movie also have surprise appearance by some popular actor which I think gonna get people excited more. Overall, it's very enjoyable dumb flick action movie that definitely live up our expectation

... But I just couldn't. It was so obviously refusing to take itself seriously that you couldnt help but be swept up in the fun. Yes, it's over the top, unsubtle and about as deep as a politicians sense of honesty, but I found myself enjoying the banter. It's a movie you can watch with half an eye and chuckle at. Just watch it with no preconceptions and enjoy the ride.

This movie was the Rock trying to 1 up Vin Diesel by doing his impression of his own Fast and Furious film. Clearly we can NOW see what the issue was on-set of "The Fate And The Furious". When Dwayne Johnson said in interview him and Diesel had a different approach to film making, what he meant to say was "I put money over integrity". He sought out a deal behind Vin Deisels back and in spite of none of the original cast members not appearing in or supporting this film. Hobbs Customs in the trailer? I was like GTFOH ..now his family are car enthusiasts that live on a island? right. The heart of the fast and the furious was not ONLY about family, but most importantly it was about diversity before diversity was a subject in Hollywood. The reason why these films work globally is bc they had a character everyone could see themselves as. The film was green lit the Rocks WWE Fans & people who can't see what's actually going on with this film. This movie was a glory fest to be a prick for a cash grab with no heart and The Rock Show off exclusively one-half of his Bi-Racial background (Guess African American lives don't matter to him) and to pretend to have a heart. I would have preferred he introduced Samoan Culture in a different film or this been a different film entirely. Behind all that Charisma ..we can see a scared jacked up man on steroids who does films for his ego. His 2019 motivation speech said put your back to walk and use your angst of people not believing in you to move forward. Diesel says "lead with love" and the love here in this film is clearly false bravado.

You might've tricked Newer Fast & Furious Fans But you did not trick anyone who was in High School during Fast 1. Prick move. This movie had to rely on cameos for your contact list in your iPhone🤣 ..happy for all those who found work but get the Fast and Furious out of this film that needed to piggy back off of it. The Rock did not revitalise Fast, (Faster, Doom and more) tanked at the box office. Vin Diesel invited him on because him considering fan feedback. You think the Rock gives a damn about Fan Feedback? Or his production company 7 bucks? Vin Diesel as producer and Justin Lin since The Tokyo Drift saves fast and don't you forget it
