Fast X (Louis Leterrier, May 19, 2023) • Page 10

At the theater now. Let’s get it

 

this was way more fucking fun than 8 & 9. Momoa the best. Some people gonna hate the end

 

I heard Dom and Mamoa’s character get sent back in time and have to settle their beef by racing feet-powered vehicles like they have in the Flinstones.

 

Dammit. I wish!

 

It was okay. For how action packed it was, it felt kind of dull. Like, anything with Luda, Tyrese and company is absolute dead weight - a bad cameo and almost all the jokes brick. There’s no reason for Brie Larson to be in this. Scott Eastwood has the presence of a hot dog with muscles.

Momoa is having the time of his life, though. It’s like he’s auditioning for the next Jack Sparrow. The first 20 minutes and the last 20 minutes are the best. And I was glad Dom’s wedding pic in his pristine white tank top made an appearance.

 

Also, it gets points for Cena giving someone the STF through a floor of a house.

 

Brie Larson will be a bigger factor in part 2 & 3 for sure

 

Also Alan Ritchson is great

 

Eastwood is god-awful. Why is he in this?

 

He was in “The Fate of the Furious.”

 

I was not prepared for the Pete Davidson jump scare

 

I hated this one. This was like what people that hate these movies/have never actually seen them think they are like. A clearly compromised production

 

I feel like that more accurately describes 8 & 9 tbh

 

I really loved 9. Did not like 8.

 

It makes no sense why Brian is still alive in this series.

 

Because family can’t die

 

dude

 

Like sorry, I’d cross the picket line if universal wanted to underpay me to write that for them.

 

This is the infinity war of the franchise. Therefore, it’s setting up an Endgame style “on your left” moment with CGI Brian to re-appear along with the rest of the family during the final showdown

 

This was so absolutely stupid in every way. I haven’t laughed that hard at a Fast movie in a while.

I loved it lol

 

I hate that this will likely be true.

 

Momoa absolutely crushed it in this. Watched a showing with closed captions so I got to enjoy being able to read his little quips while I was still laughing at the last thing he said.

 

The biggest laugh I got, outside of the climax, was Dom looking at a wall full of pictures of his friends that are clearly professionally done promo pics. Like, where was the photographer for all these intimate moments? Just out of frame?

 

1. Brian's existence is just creating bigger and bigger problems. Why would he and his children not be at the barbeque at the beginning? Why is Mia watching Dom's kid separately and not just have him over at their house?
2. Why does Cipher care to warn Dom?
3. The audience was openly laughing at the Gisele return. What was she supposed to be doing with a submarine in Antarctica? Her return is heavily hinted at with the way the camera lingers on Han at the beginning and says he has to get out there and date again.
4. It kind of makes sense how Han could fake his death, but does this mean at the end of 6 that no one, not even Han, went to look for her body? I know it was a long runway but that is pretty weird.
5. You have to put up with a lot to get through these movies but the Pete Davidson cameo was too much. I know not everyone in London has the accent but they just put him there completely out of context.
6. The Mr. Nobody "mystery" is really treating the audience like idiots.
7. Elena's sister serves no purpose and just clutters things up while we have four simultaneous storylines going on in the middle of the film.
8. Even the specific plot points have been done already. Cipher and Letty teaming up at the jail is the same as Hobbs and Shaw teaming up in Fast 8 and the new Agency guy teaming up with Dom is the same role Hobbs played in 5 (although this does get turned on its head).
9. The Stella Artois product placement in the bar was fourth-wall breaking.
10. Jakob is going to turn out to have a clone or something that is still alive to explain his complete change as a character between films.
11. Anyone who really thinks those five characters are dead should be careful opening e-mails from Nigerian princes. You can't be that much of a mark.
11. Tess having a near-death scene when she clearly has one wound in the shoulder was hilarious.
12. Why are they back at home? In 9 they were hiding in a farm to avoid Cipher and other danger but that danger is still out there when they are back to living out in the open.
13. The filmmakers were clearly just taking notes on The Dark Knight and Infinity War.

I fully believe that the father of Dom, Mia, and Jakob is still alive somewhere. Mr. Nobody is almost a given. I don't now if they would be brazen enough to bring back Elena. Monica Fuentes and the Tokyo Drift team will all come back at least once.

 

That whole Pete scene serves absolutely no purpose. None of the gags are funny - the fight, Han eating a magic muffin that has an effect on him for all of two seconds, Pete calling the cops on them because he saw them on the Deep Web (even though they’re shown to be wanted criminals on international news stations). As said, that whole gang is such a waste of time.
