Idris Elba, The Rock, and Jason Stathom a.k.a. the United Colors of Benneton for dudes that your girlfriend wishes you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I posted in the Q3 thread, but will be more than happy to post about it here as well. Awesome movie from beginning to end. The chemistry between Rock and Statham is amazing and they both seemed to be enjoying themselves and having a shit ton of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Did you see the article about how F & F movies have to be carefully negotiated because the stars all refuse to sell for one another? Vin Diesel has someone on set counting punches, to make sure he lands as many as he takes. That's why the fights between the stars always end in draws. Nobody wants to be seen to do the job.

J.T. Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I only have one question. Spoiler At the end of Fate of the , Owen Shaw is very much alive and helps his brother rescue Dom's kid, but in Hobbs / Shaw, Deckard mentions that Brixton's betrayal forced him to kill his brother in order to escape, so is Owen dead now or is there more than one brother in the Shaw family? I'm thinking the latter since Owen getting killed in between Fate and Hobbs / Shaw doesn't really jive and we didn't really know that Deckard had a kid sister either.

I'm thinking the latter since Owen getting killed in between Fate and Hobbs / Shaw doesn't really jive and we didn't really know that Deckard had a kid sister either. My assumption was Brixton was the one he was referring to. Though I could be totally off there. Like he saw Brixton as a brother and because of his betrayal he had to kill him. And still no one addresses that he murdered Han in cold blood. He got off of that way too easily. Oh boo hoo. His brother got a few scratches. What happened to the family? Overall, I thought it was a decent action film. But all the sequel baiting was really annoying. Everyone is still trying to copy the MCU playbook without understanding how it works.

Eivion Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Finished the movie an hour ago. Dug every bit of it. Rock and Statham have wonderful chemistry, and Idris was a solid villain. Spoiler Loved the scenes with Reynolds and Hart. Would love to see both return assuming there is a sequel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Saw it yesterday and it was pretty good. It's not close to Fast Five or anything but it quenched the thirst for big dumb action. I LOVED the cameos in this and I am hoping for the sequel we get a big team up with said cameos as major players... This franchise just keeps racking up the W's and in my mind is the most consistently entertaining Hollywood franchise around. I am wondering who the big bad is. I was expecting a reveal in the mid credits but then nothing I have heard some rumors but... idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You can't set up a big reveal like that and not give any sort of payoff. That's one area where Captain Marvel failed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 How about a Double Turn ala Hart/Austin with Vin going solid heel by taking out Eastwood and Tyrese and Theron turning face after Vin double crosses her and leaves her for dead. And this time around she's rocking a South African accent complete with subtitles. Actually that's a shitty idea as heel Vin is less interesting than face Vin. I just want Eastwood and Tyrese doing a stretcher job just so that Reynolds and Hart can come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once Fast 10 comes and goes you'll see Vin become primarily a full time producer/director and then the new team becomes The Rock, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Kevin Hart and Ryan Reynolds.

Craig H Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Really liked it for the most part and I definitely want more of this. Some of the banter between Hobbs and Shaw got old by the end of the movie and it felt like they were running out of insults. They'll need to work on that if there's a sequel. Idris Elba was a very good villain. Loved the three cameos (I say three because while the two big ones mean more to everyone else, the third, the guy who meets with Shaw, means a lot to me because I'm a big fan of his and hope he has a bigger career now that his tv series is done). I felt that the action could have been better directed. It was clear that there was more comfort was Statham doing action scenes because you'd have longer shots with him doing them, but a lot of the fight scenes with the Rock relied on shitty quick cuts. Ending sequence with Hobbs' family was fun stuff. I laughed when Cliff Curtis appeared playing Hobbs' brother. I swear, casting directors will call Cliff Curtis, a Maori dude, to play every other nationality out there. As for the voice, I almost think it would be cool if it were... Spoiler Gal Gagot. Maybe Eteon grabs her body on the airstrip and runs away with her and she becomes the figurehead for this shadow organization. I mean, we never actually saw her body and she was presumed dead... Hey, this is the Fast and Furious franchise. It could happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
