Fast X

wft I didn't know this wasn't a standalone movie, it was originally going to be two movies and now it's been stretched out to three. Thankfully the "cliffhangers" at the end are pointless, obviously everyone who "died" is going to miraculously survive.

Speaking of death, nobody in this fricking series can die. Not even the guy who's dead in real life is dead in the Fast and Furious universe, he could legitimately come back in future movies.

I knew what to expect going into this movie and I got it: escalating antics with cars that defy gravity and all common sense. Pinballing a bomb into the Tiber River to save the Vatican? Check. Screaming down the side of a dam like a Hot Wheels car? Check. A little kid killing like 5-6 people with a car mounted rocket launcher? Check. If you didn't like the previously movies you won't like this one.

Taking into account that it's essentially only half a movie it comes in at a very bloated 2 hours 20 minutes. So many meaningless sideplots with little to no payoff, just filling time or saying, "Hey remember this person!?! They're back in a meaningless cameo!" Also Pete Davidson for some reason.

Jason Momoa fricking carried this movie holy shit. I'm pretty sure they didn't give him any notes or direction, they just told him, "Do whatever you want." He went with weird, flamboyant supervillain and it's the perfect counter to Vin Diesel's grumpy seriousness. He makes sure you don't take the movie seriously. He also had some killer one liners.

Overall eh I dunno maybe 6/10. Kinda forgettable in the F&F franchise but there have been so many I barely even remember most of them.

They're the perfect movie to watch when you really just want to shut off your brain and relax. It's basically capeshit but in cars.

It's so funny when you think about the humble beginnings of the first movie where it's an undercover cop investigating some street racers to where they are now, literally flying a car into space.

Yeah the original Fast and the Furious is a very different movie, I really like it a lot.
