Fast and Furious should have ended with Furious 7 RIP Paul Walker

[@PrinceSibanda-o5u]

Even 7 was trash😂😂😂

[@jefffraser3205]

I am a huge fast and furious fan. Every movie is mindless trash but still brilliant fun to watch and I absolutely love them. But I have not watched a single movie since Furious 7. I have absolutely no interest in watching another Furious movie. And this movie especially just seems like a disgusting cash grab. This entire series was supposed to be about family, but sadly that has been completely forgotten. If they ever made another movie, focused on family and with only the original cast (with one sad exception) I would watch it in heartbeat.

[@kerry-j4m]

The studio is making-TOO-much money from F & F franchise to let it go and I don't blame them either.

Sounds like moving on is something you struggle with. You’re worth dealing with. The feelings will only grow as you ignore them until you’re consumed

[@Anonymous_0894]

In my opinion 8, Hobbs and Shaw and 10 are kinda worth watching. Yes they're extremely stupid, objectively bad and have a huge Paul Walker shaped hole, but they're good fun as long as you turn your brain off (a lot like Transformers 1-3). Fast and Furious 9 on the other hand is terrible (apart from the flashback scenes) as the story feels extremely lazy and forced while also having action scenes which aren't interesting.

That's what happens when the Rock tries to take over your franchise. It was there with The Mummy, we were just too blind to see it since he was a new comer.

[@playz8538]

the vast majority of people love hobs and shaw, it's only the pretentious film nerds who complain about it all day. It's a fun movie that you can enjoy without thinking too much, and that's the point of films for the most part. Entertainment. You can't get to 700 million box office if people didn't like it. And the other films you mentioned (with the exception of Black Adam, but even that I don't know for sure because we don't know how much of the headlines are actually true) probably would have flopped regardless. How do you know the rock had anything to do with their downfall? maybe the writers just did a bad job. People love making assumptions.

[@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168]

That's an interesting fact, whenever he joins a series/sequel it either peters out or stops. Fast and Furious is actually the sole exception but even that'll only go so far.

It's all the worst parts of Fast Five and Furious 7 shoved down your throat, punched in the gut, and vomited back out.

Remember when Shaw was an extremely serious threat and wouldn't back down before he killed Dom and his family and dance on their graves?

[@stefansimonka]

Hobbs and Shaw is a perfect reminder of why movies exist, namely to entertain. While I enjoy discussing films, this movie stands out because it doesn’t aspire to be a post-renaissance masterpiece or a philosophical think piece. Instead, it delivers pure, unadulterated fun. The chemistry between Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham is electric, funny, engaging, and consistently entertaining. The action sequences are fresh and creative enough to steer clear of being labeled as just another uninspired cash grab. Its box office success speaks volumes, cementing its well-earned place in the industry as a crowd-pleasing blockbuster. Sometimes, that’s all you need from a movie, and I definitely didn't need this nit-picky philosophical analysis of a movie which only serves to entertain, nothing less and nothing more. Movie viewers usually do not follow nor do they care what happens behind the scenes, they're just there for the movie. This video, I genuinely feel, is a first miss by Nerdstalgic in my books.

[@emoney6692]

Agree with everything you’ve said, I was thoroughly entertained by this movie and I’m not even a huge fan of the Rock. I’m baffled by this comment section, this is better than any of the F&F movies after 7 and is also one of the better movies in both Rock and Statham’s filmographies, the knowing winks to their old movies was a nice touch.

My opinions of Dwayne Johnson, growing up, have been: Early 2000s: oh, this guys kinda a douche… Southland Tales comes out: oh, this guy doesn’t take himself that seriously. Seems kinda cool. Recently, especially after finding out he has a “my character can’t lose” contract clause: Oh… wait. Yeah. Definitely a douche…

[@SonnyK248]

I'm pretty sure he brought the "my character cant lose" thing from wrestling to cinema. I never knew it existed in movies before him and now most action stars are putting it in their contracts. I remember there was WCW as a kid and they shut down due to awful ratings and one of the reasons was most of their top stars had the I cant Lose clause in their contracts and the writers of the show had to basically bend over for them. Because they could veto anything they told them to do that made them look weak. Now we have this insane behavior in movies.

I wasn't sure about watching this video, fearing it might just be clickbait, but I found it rather interesting, it even shine a positive light on the FF movies compared to this one, I can see myself agreeing on all your points, taken on a moment-by-moment basis there are nice, inventive scenes, but overall it doesn't feel memorable, I did not dislike it, but I rather rewatch other Statham movies like Transporter,Cranked,or Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels....though in this last one he is not the focus.

“Hey Dwayne”

[@samwall8390]

I'm pretty sure Dwayne Johnson is just a hard person to work with. There is stories all over Hollywood about him being hard to work with. Showing up late having alot of requirements. Etc and that just pissed Vin off cause he is a real enough dude.

Fast X part 2 is not slated to come out in 2025 (Universal rushed the new Jurassic Park to fill that blockbuster gap in the summer). Perhaps 2026...?

I don't give a damn since F&F 6

[@JebusCarbiel619]

It's like they expect us to bankroll their little roleplay playdate!

[@gonzalbo87]

Tried to watch it when it hit streaming, stopped after half an hour because it was a Rock movie and not a Fast and Furious movie.

HAHAHAHAH racing towards, I get it.

[@discord6047]

Not gonna lie. Completely forgot this movie existed

[@corvus4600]

FF series should have ended after Brian's passing.

Ngl, I still would rather watch The Rock play himself in every movie than watch Ryan Reynolds play himself in every movie
