How far the Furious franchise has deviated from the original.
This is the description for this one: Lawman Luke Hobbs and outcast Deckard Shaw form an unlikely alliance when a cyber-genetically enhanced villain threatens the future of humanity.
The trailer has Idris Elba running around punching people into the air like he a super hero and dressed like he in the X-Men! WTF?
There's a shot of them doing some witty banter near a window with a view and I as soon as I saw it I thought "they're totally going to jump out that window aren't they?" And sure enough... In the trailer the action sequence that takes place goes on longer than it would really take to fall from that height. LOL

If it has the name "Statham" attached I'm immediately interested. He and The Rock had a good chemistry in FF so quite looking forward to this. Hopefully it does a Bumblebee and turns out to be a spin-off that surpasses the original franchises. Plus I want to see if I can spot my friend who is an extra in the film.

You know what scene they're in?

You know what scene they're in? He said it was a nightclub scene, so I guess it's the one glimpsed in the trailer. He was offered a couple of interesting ones last year - Spider-Man, Star War, Downton Abbey, but Hobbs & Shaw was the only one he could make. Plus another he won't reveal so I guess that is a second stab at the new Star Wars film.

I think it looks awesome, though it definitely isn't a Fast and Furious movie. Looks more like a cross between the Rundown and the Transporter. Still looks better than some of the FF movies though.

Idris Elba, Dwayne Johnson, AND Jason Statham? There's no way I can't see this. Even if it's terrible those three are worth seeing on screen together.

Still need #Justice4Han though. Yeah, kind of weird they've all forgotten that. Guess saving Brian Jr. is all it took for redemption. I literally laughed out loud when I read Idris Elba was playing a genetic engineered superman, though. F&F is a franchise where, the more ridiculous and stupid it gets, the more I like it.

i liked it more than most F&F to be honest. its fun, its light, it has great action (well what do you expect from the codirector of john wick) it doesnt take itself seriously (like most FF do) and it has actually really good acting and a few pleasent surprises. feels almost Mission Impossible-esque in the creativity and playfullnes of the action. Oh and stat through the Entire credits! it has two mid credits and one Post credits scene. All good fun. 7/10 PS - this seems a laughable level of male ego fragility though. www.wsj.com/articles/fast-furious-stars-complicated-demandi-never-want-to-lose-a-fight-11564673490?

Well they took the best elements of the F&F series...Johnson and Statham, got rid of the chaff - the rest of the cast, the car fetishism, booty shots, too much shit music etc - and made the best film in the franchise.
Because it was in the realms of science fiction the preposterous action was more acceptable. Plus Elba, and especially Vanessa Kirby, were excellent support.
7.5/10

8/10. Probably my second favorite in the series. It's ludicrous but fun and entertaining.
