This is THE dumbest movie I've ever seen.
Oh my god...there actually did it.
'F9' is wild, bonkers, fun, stupid, and really stupid. However, nine movies in, I fully accept its ridiculousness, and for the shake of your insanity, you should too.
It's funny how nobody really dies in these movies, and how the movie explains why a certain characters is somehow alive makes no sense at all. There's always betrayal in the "family" but at the end it's alright. The soundtrack is different in every movie but it sounds the same.
Honestly, I'm interested how ridiculous it can go.
Helen Mirren is right when she said "You don't really need to act in these movies. It's good fun".
Magnets!??! How do they work?
A ridiculous and unoriginal doomsday plot, poor acting, unrealistic English accents (US stereotypes), action scenes that are so over the top they are ludicrously implausible and characters with names like “Mr. Nobody”. Really? I think this franchise has run its course. Please stop.
I think it's time to put the F&F franchise to bed now. The storylines have been getting worse as the series has progressed and this is probably rated as one of the worst. What started out as a bunch of street racing outlaws has turned into something you would expect from Marvel with super heroes saving the world.
If you're into cars and speed then this is one to avoid. If you like super heroes and the most insane of storylines that even give James Bond movies a run for their money then you'll love this.
The one saving grace of the movie is the CGI but the plot scores a big fat zero. Over hyped for too long and should really have been left on the cutting room floor.
I'd say this is definitely in the top 9 of all Fast movies
FML I know I went to see Fast and Furious and I expected to see some ridiculous scenes but they sent a car into space to knock out a satellite dish . Were the writers high?
Did Dom and his brother have different mums or Dads as that wasn't explained at all
The original Fast and Furious was the best and the more they make the more they need to outdo the last one.
F10 will have time travel and dinosaurs in it.
this movie is so hilariously bad that i actually recommend people watch it.
When you go to McDonald's to order a Quarter Pounder and you take the first bite in a long time. The taste is exactly like what you expected. That is what its like watching this movie. No complaints.
It’s FF so don’t expect logic. They keep the trend of ridiculousness from past 8 movies alive but they kick it up by 9 squared. Turn off your brain. Don’t look for logic. And get ready for stupid entertainment.
Seriously this shit is better than majority of the crap that’s been released in past 1.5 years. I wish I saw it in the theater.
Can’t wait to see what nonsense they come up with for F10…going to be all kinds of stupid good.
These motherfuckers went to space in a car. 10 stars.
If you don't like the Fast & Furious movies, watch this one. You'll end up appreciating the others.
I think they have finally gone to far with these movies, it’s time to stop making them!
How do you review a movie like F9? At this point in the series, if you buy a ticket, you know what you're getting into. The pretense of being a serious crime drama of the early installments is gone. You are just going to get a wild ride.
...and sometimes that is okay.
I’m the first to criticize the films in this series. I think the second film might actually be the worst movie ever committed to celluloid. Or videotape. Or streaming. You know what I mean. I think the characters are hard to follow...are they alive or dead? That’s flexible. Never since Star Trek did a cast feel so much like a diversity checklist. I feel like marketing came in and said, “Okay, we need an African American….but can we make them Muslim? That gets us two checkmarks…”
That’s not to say the characters aren’t fun. I actually find Tyrese Gibson’s character fun....but notice I don’t know the character’s name? Or Ludacris? Or Vin Diesel...who I know is Dom, but I find that character so tedious, that I’ve been cheering for the Rock to come and knock him off since the fifth installment. Oh, please, please, please, let that happen.
But these movies are not about character development. They are about MacGuffins. For the uninitiated, a MacGuffin is a plot device...an object in a movie script (which I heard this movie actually had) that all the characters in the film want. In the 60s these were generally briefcases with files. Pulp Fiction actually brought that back. In the 70s, microfilm was a favorite. Nowadays, you see disks and USB drives fairly often. Even Star Wars had a MacGuffin or did you forget that movie was all about recovering the plans to the Death Star?
In this movie, our MacGuffin is some sort of weird globe that was cut in two. It needs to be recovered because if the two halves are reunited with an activating key, you can … well, you can rule the world. Basic Bond villain stuff here. What I get a kick out of is people ripped into James Bond in the late 90s for this kind of nonsense and pointed to the grittiness of movies like Fast and the Furious as the new feel for action films. Now, the two franchises have nearly switched seats (some would say for the detriment of both.)
While Bond typically did its stunts practically, the outlandish visual nonsense you are subjected to in these flicks appear to be primarily cartoons. The attachment to physics, particularly this installment’s questionable approach to magnetism, is tenuous at best. But you just have to keep repeating to yourself, “I’m the idiot that bought the ticket. And I’ve done it eight times before. So I’m supporting this crap. It’s my fault.”
I actually laughed out loud at the movie’s insane stunts (if you can call output from a PS4 game, which these sometimes resembled, a stunt) more than a couple comedies I’ve seen recently. I should mention, by the way, that the CGI, while it annoys me, is excellent in the film. It looks as realistic as you can expect at the state of the art and these visual artists should really be commended for making the completely unrealistic situations in the film appear feasible.
If I ever fall off the top of a building, I’m going to look for a car to fall onto; apparently, they are made of mats and foam because they broke some pretty insane falls in this flick.
John Cena should be commended with playing the part of...well, let’s get real. Vin Diesel and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson can’t be in the same room anymore, so they needed a replacement and Cena is freakishly gigantic, too. But he did well with his “heel turn” here playing the heavy. (Yet another trope of action films this movie is slave to. The rich “true villain” hires muscle, or the “heavy,” to perform the heavy lifting.) Charlize Theron is back, too, from whichever installment she was in. She is oddly taking this all very seriously. I’m not sure if she doesn’t know these movies are a joke or she’s intent on playing straight in hopes it comes off all the more jarring by doing so.
References to family, of course, dot the script but not to the nauseating extent some previous installments. F9 really feels like a movie put together by a creative team that has looked at the franchise and have specifically picked the things that have worked and punctuating those notes while shaving off a lot of the junk that didn’t work. For those that love the “saga” aspects of our characters’ continuing tales, that stuff is here, though I tend to watch these all as standalone films since the ongoing story is just as ridiculous as everything else. I know there was one reveal, in particular, that was total fan service and I thought “This is just proof I’m not a Millenial. I don’t care at all about this character. Can we move on?”
So did I like it? I hate myself for it, but yeah, it was fun. The action is well filmed and there is a ton of it. You can have a lot of fun with these films if you let yourself. So let go of logic and intelligence, sit back with your popcorn, and watch cars act like you used to zoom around your toy cars as a child. Remember, I’m the idiot that bought the ticket. And I’ve done it eight times before. So I’m supporting this crap. It’s my fault.
Did a bunch of stoned teenagers write this movie?...it's so so ridiculous :joy::rofl::sweat_smile:
I bet Dom & crew could take on the avengers and win. :thinking:
“Y'all ever thought about how many wild missions we been on? How we somehow... always survive?
Think about this. We've now been on insane missions around the world, doing what most would say is damn near impossible.
And I ain't got one single scar to show for it?”
The above quote, in my opinion, perfectly sums up the film. A good action flick should keep you on the edge of your seat, with adrenaline coursing through your veins. However, this is the most monotonous and uninteresting picture I've seen this year. You don't experience any emotion at all, and everything feels forced. Actions appear to have no repercussions, and everyone is as strong and fortunate as the writing requires at the time. There is no sense of impending doom or dread.
The acting is becoming increasingly mediocre; and the more the film attempts to push the "Family" narrative, the more unbearable the experience becomes. There are no noteworthy moments, just cliché after cliché. This franchise has come a long way from its beginnings, but not in any appreciable way. There's nothing wrong with crafting a simple action film that doesn't take itself too seriously and serves primarily as entertainment, but this is a poor attempt.
5.0/10 (Worst in the Franchise thus far)
They're honestly not trying any more.
This is like they had a fourteen year old write the script for a cartoon.
Or as Dom would have put it: It's family the family of the family and I family hope they family making any family.
The audacity of Tej suggesting the laws of physics are relevant within the world of Fast & Furious.
Hahahahahahahaha. Well I got what I was expecting. As the franchise goes forward the film's get more ridiculous every time.
I had fun and enjoyed the movie but found myself rolling my eyes through several scenes like "really?".
Predictable story, missing Brian, Shaw and Hobbs results in one of those Sunday movies that we just watch.
Story short, when you have family you don't need physics!
I usually like these movies even if the story and logic sucks, but this time they decided to dump logic out the window and make it as unrealistic as possible at the same time it wasn't as fun and the jokes fell flat. It was missing the fun of the last few movies, and maybe the lack of Jason Statham also killed it.
The Fast and Furious franchise has, since quite a few movies back, abandoned all pretense of being anything but silly, unrealistic, action extravaganzas. That means that these movies are not to everyone’s taste (which no movies really are for that matter) but it seems a lot of those people have watched this movie anyway and then pretends to be surprised.
Those who give this movie one star ratings have obviously never seen a real one star movie and those asshats that start their review with “I left after xx minutes” are just trolls. If you have not watched the movie, all of it, don’t write a bloody “review”.
To me this movie was pretty much what I expected. Perhaps even a bit more silly and over the top than the previous ones, not that this was much of a surprise, but still more or less what I expected.
It has a half decent, quite predictable, story that’s just good enough to tie the action sequences together. I do whish stupid Hollywood writers that probably never finished basic school would stop write stories with their favorite “device yyy which can take over all electronics” bullshit in them. Apart from being total scientific nonsense it is really, really overused.
Vin Diesel is Vin Diesel. I cannot remember many, if any, movies where I have not liked his character. His team is pretty likable as well although some of their silly shenanigans and ramblings was indeed a bit tiresome from time to time.
The core of the movie is of course the action and special effects. Sure, they are incredibly over the top and for the most of the time you have to put your brain in idle when watching them but if you, like me, like special effects this is a movie for you. The silly scene where the bad guys “tank train” flipped over was a bit too much for me as well but on the whole I enjoyed the action.
I was not too thrilled with all the flashbacks but then I almost never like flashbacks and there was plenty of them in this movie.
I would have liked Chipher to have a bigger role in the movie. She is cool as well as intelligent which is not something that really could be said about Dom’s brother. The main bad guy was just a jerk and not very charismatic. Hollywood really seems to have a problem writing good bad guys lately.
Overall, this was some well spent almost two and a half hours (I watched the directors cut). I quite enjoyed this movie.
We can now build a vehicle to launch into space give me a break
Fast & Furious has become so over-the-top that I wouldn’t be surprised if the next installment featured car chases on the moon.
I recommend this move because of FAMILY
Jesus christ this movie is bad. The fight scenes are especially awful. These dudes are literally tackling one another off of really high rooftops and just landing and getting up like it's nothing over and over again. WHY DOES VIN DIESEL SUDDENLY HAVE SUPER STRENGTH? He is literally throwing grown men six feet in the air by their shirts and then he PULLED DOWN THE INSIDE OF A BUILDING ON TOP OF HIMSELF. WTF IS THIS MOVIE?
I've watched the Fast series of movies with declining interest since Fast 3 as the crew gradually transforms from being a crew of car thieves into an outfit that is now more MI than the IMF team!! I mean seriously! You've always had to suspend belief and logic for the Fast movies (especially anything around the laws of physics) but this movie is just plain terrible. Limp script, phone-in acting performances and clearly works on the pretext that a succession of fast paced ridiculous action sequences make for a good movie. Quite why they had to make it at all baffles me, let alone make it 143 minutes long. Dom, for someone who never bloody shuts up about family, SUDDENLY reveals, in the 9th movie, that he has a brother, I mean FFS! They should really call it a day and kill this franchise off now, even if they don't, I have!
If you fast forward your way through this dumb flick you won't be so furious at the end. Its the end of the road for this franchise, surely!
Didn’t the filmmakers remember what happened to the Friday the 13th franchise after Jason went to space ! I read that F10 will pick up seconds after the “snap” and the F &F grew will be recruited to take out Thanos and restore the universe!!
I've watched every F&F movie and I've never felt the need to rant about them. Were they good? **** no! But a majority of them had some subjective enjoyment to them. There's been plenty of commentary about how it's just got outlandish. They even poke fun at it in their movies. However when you go on with a brother that became some kind of chaotic ex-government agent, and you need to go to space to defeat them. I kinda just lose faith. I mean come on. Some of the flashbacks to Dom & Jakobs childhood and relationship with their father was a nice touch. But you've just tried to push a bad guy for no reason. He somehow goes from fixing a race and accidentally killing his old man, to being a mother****ing super secret agent and then turning? For some reason? That's not explained. It's absolutely ridiculous. There's so much that could've been done to improve this movie. It clearly had a good potential storyline. But so much was shoved into it that was absolutely unnecessary. F&F brings back Mia to just have another familiar face and make it feel like Paul Walker was still alive but you could've at least done some scenes about her and Jakobs relationship together, to actually make it feel like you're not jerking to ex-14 year old boys (Including me) nostalgia of watching F&F in the movies 10 years ago.
I know they've planned another movie, and it would honestly surprise me if it didn't continue further, but this is getting kinda crazy.
okay it's the fact and furious and we all know it's not going to be realistic... but this one might've gone way to far into the ozone layer, literally. no spoiler but just very ridiculous in most of the storyline. the turetto back story and brother part was good, actually. and it's star studded and then some. it's a fast movie, maybe could've used some more real driving to stay more on point with the franchise. but eh. if you like the fast and furious franchise ridiculous or not. you're going like it.
Worst fast and furious installment ever
They’ve reached a point where they are actually hard to watch, and that makes me sad
Good grief, please undo this movie and save Charlize Theron's career. Please!
I kept saying "what the..." the entire later part of the movie.
It really has become ridiculous..
I'm not saying the movie was bad, but I dunno, maybe not really cup of my tea.
I used to like the fast and furious series, but now it became just another action film in my opinion.
Watching the previous movies I expected a "meh" movie but this is even worse that that. They have gone too far with the no logic, wtf scenes. At this point please end the franchise... After the sixth movie it's been a downhill.
I liked how they moved away from action movie to a comedy
Wow, what a pile of horseshit.
The plot (and I'm being generous by calling it that) is beyond ridiculous and nonsensical. The acting is either phoned in by actors who CAN act (Ms Mirren) or stinks up the screen by those who CANNOT act... I'm looking at you John Cena.
This is 2hr 20mins I'll never get back that I can add to the 10+ hours this crappy franchise has stolen from me. I rate only the first and the fifth as being slightly memorable in the least.
More fool me for continuing to watch this trash.
Oh, and before I go, I heard someone in the production crew saying that Vin Diesel calls from time to time and has deep conversations about what and where in life Dom would be... Seriously.
They should all be ashamed of themselves. Fucking adult toddlers thinking any of this is actually worth the slightest measure of positivity to the world.
A horrendous waste of time. If they make a 10th and it stays on this trajectory, it'll be the worst destruction of an original idea since Die Hard... Actually scratch that. This is wanky crap and always has been. It'll be just the empty-minded hollow nonsense that it deserves to be.
3/10
John Cena can't act so he fits right in with the franchise!!
FAMILY!!! That's what it's all about eh??
I thought previous instalments had some far fetched sequences but JESUS did this one not disappoint for that. In some movies you can say "Really? That's stupid" but in this one you just want to laugh as how stupid it really is. Without spoilers, the space car scene was just absolutely idiotic....They were street racers!! I mean it's just so bad it's entertaining.
That being said it took me 3 attempts to watch it due to being plain bored with the plot. But then again who watches this rubbish for a plot hahaha.
In F10 the gang travel through a black hole to stop an evil alternate version of The Rock from concurring the world with his giant Gorilla, Jason Apeman!!!
This is just an absolutely ridiculous movie. I'll let you interpret that however you like. It was fun to see Mirren in this.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Another horrible part in the slow and senior citizen franchise. The only reason i watch them is because i have nothing to watch at that time.
Glad i didn't pay for this crap
The real battle in this series is the battle Vin Diesel is fighting between Father Time vs steroids.
One part music video, two part brain fart. I hope this is a nail in the coffin of this "franchise" because short of racing aliens for pink slips to Earth, there's no ridiculousness left for them to go for.
Damn, he took a dodge to the jungle. Next time I’m in the jungles, I’m taking my Dodge.
The story is just too far fetched. The stunts are too far fetched. I think that's the end of the franchise for me. Just too ridiculous :unamused:
Wow! This might be the stupidest movie. How did this script ever get made. Speechless.
#1 dumbest movie in 2021 right after Wonder Women
shit was trash. Just like the last few smh. Glad I didn't pay to watch. Will continue to watch the first 4 which I love.
Very very disappointing. While FF6 7 and 8 introduced coherence, action and a good touch of humour, this last opus is completely insipid, horribly complex and very badly shot, without humour and where the action has nothing to do with Fast and Furious. After 30 minutes, we are bored. I'm going back to Shawn and Hobbs or FF5678 for some freshness. To be avoided.
The worst of the franchise. I hope the next one is the last.
One can't criticize this franchise.
If you are watching it, you know why you're watching it. Not for it to make sense.
For the explosions, the cars, the women.
In that department it delivers.
That doesn't mean it's a good movie. That's not the point.
The point is getting asses in the theatre which it does.
Mission accomplished.
Two decades ago when Paul Walker showed up in one of the first scenes of the first movie with that green Mitsubishi Eclipse and launched this cult movie franchise, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren would star in it. I watched every movie and spin-off of this franchise and will continue to do so as long as they keep making more. So much nostalgia and so much fun.:heart:
I never expected there to be such a bad Fast and Furious movie.
that was just shitty
Fast & Furious has out-CG'd the Marvel franchise.
and WTF is with all those magnets?
just horrible
Turn off your brain and enjoy the absurdity!
F9 is a baby sitter who thinks you're 5 years younger than you are and treats you like a baby when it spoon feeds you a story that is so unrealistic you'll gag on it when it comes back up.
The one where they jump into space.
If you gotta NOS something. NOS through space. I like how they had to tell us they looked like minions in those outfits because no one would get the joke otherwise but it's another universal property so they had to get it in somewhere.

Finally an actual good FF with a decent story. Sure it's still FF, but with the backstories from the first few. Solid movie.
rating: 7.5/10
posted 29 september 2023
Started watching it on a plane so I decided to finish it. Having not seen any of the Fast and Furious movies since basically the first one, I didn't get much of the actual story but I was in it for the fast cars and ridiculous action scenes.
What can I say as this was just another pile of garbage.
"As long as we obey the laws of physics, we'll be fine."
I keep thinking they won't get more ridiculous than the previous one but they keep going there. There are some moments where I actually chuckled at how stupid this was but I guess that is what they are going for.
I had enough fun to give it 3 stars but bringing Han back was pointless and it felt so anticlimatic, like nobody gave a flying poop that he is still alive. The after-credits scene where Han meets Shaw was fun/promising tho.
Even more ridiculous than before, and I LOVE the crazy stuff like going to space but I got so annoyed by everyone flying out of cars and crashing without a scratch. At least Roman recognizes that and he also makes this movie a lot more fun.
WTF？！, watched at 2021-05-28, imported from douban
Seriously wtf. Already the opening scenes near the plane are so extremely stupidly over the top........ not even Rambo in his best days would be doing that sh**. And then the minefield.... and that was not even 20 minutes into the movie. Things got worse from there.
Maybe if they'd made this more into an actual comedy, things would have been better.
It keep getting worse, this franchise is such a suite of random action movies now.
Music is a total crap, never racers listens to this auto tuned shite. Also most of action scenes are like old Chinese movies, physics just doesn’t exists in here. Ordinary people turned to super heroes who can withstand anything, jumping from burning trucks, look at the explosion with zero impact.. it’s very lame. Story is not bad though, ideas for some tech are not bad too, but that car in the space is a really bad joke.
my brother in christ there is not a single story long enough that would require this many movies, let it be DONE and over with, it should've all ended with the seventh part, god damn
F9 speeds onto the screen with a mix of excitement and disappointment. While I wouldn't label it as the worst installment in the franchise, it certainly lacks the punch and adrenaline rush, especially after the high note that Fast 7 played.
The film's action sequences feel disjointed, failing to jolt the anticipated adrenaline rush. The opening sequences attempted to burst into high-octane moments with explosions and spectacle, but they never really delivered the gripping excitement expected. The subsequent action scenes veer into run-of-the-mill territory, especially in the process of the Avengers-like assembling of characters with the return of Mia and Han. Many action sequences feel arbitrary, lacking narrative purpose.
However, to the film credits, the action gains momentum in its second half after the team assembled. The Fast franchise always has gimmicks and here's where the film's gimmick comes into play - electromagnetic tricks. The creative use of this concept in the final battle injects some much-needed freshness in an otherwise stale action sequences.
What makes F9 a very dull Fast film is its attempt at adopting a darker tone, which falters heavily. The pivotal brotherly feud between Dom and Jakob lacks the necessary kick for the audience to care enough about the newly introduced character. The underdeveloped relationship fails to justify the character introspection and moments of fragility. The actors struggle to convey the conflict, hindered by lackluster scripts and dialogue.
This darker tone is contrasted to the usual Fast humor and banter which fail to maintain a nice blend of tonal consistency. There is an appreciable attempt to satirize the implausibility of the characters' invincibility, a self-awareness that permeates the film. However, it feels too on-the-nose as the script repeats the point on and on.
In the end, F9 doesn't reach the heights of its predecessors, lacking in both thrilling action and bogged down by its attempt to be serious and darker. While it has its moments, it falls short of delivering the exhilarating experience fans have come to expect from the Fast & Furious franchise. If you wanted to watch F9, I suggest to skip right onto the second half. You won't miss anything.
Actually one of the worst films I’ve ever seen
Like a poker game where they throw wild cards at your face: this movie will drop deuces on your eyes.
And anyone who thinks I was reaching for that analogy clearly hasn't seen this film where they have giant magnets that only attract the metal they want them to, a young woman who's never driven before in her life drives a stick shift truck that passes a Porsche and where they drive. in. space. In space!
This is the Donald Trump of the Fast and Furious franchise because the fact it wasn't universally condemned but actually thrived is a sign that human beings as a species are irrevocably doomed.
Why do they always split superweapon maguffins into two pieces and then keep the pieces instead of utterly destroying them?
Guys. I haven't watched any other FF except maybe the first one back in the days. WTH happened in between in production? :joy:
Btw, if you can accept all the crazy, CRAZY nonsense sh¡t that happens, beyond any possible imagination and real-world physics and chances of things to happen, you'll have a good time. FX are just great. It's hard tho. You really have to unplug your brain, way more than Marvel's. :dizzy_face::dizzy:
The plot armors here are insane, and it was so funny that even the character at some point realize that they escaped certain death without a scratch, and think they're somehow invincible. This is meta writing. The writers know what they do is nonsense and they enjoy it. Enjoy it too! Appreciate it for what it is, not everything has to be serious :heart::fire:
A jet catching a flying car in mid-air, people jumping from car to car in trafic, car magnets, a whole lot of cringe family drama and we officially enter the sci-fi genre. Loved that, they embrace the ridiculousness and that's when these movies are at their best. The cast is so big, the acting is worse than ever, Helen Mirren is a badass, John Cena can't act for shit and Roman & Tej are the MVPs. First act worked great for me, the middle is incredibly long and sometimes hard to get through. Last third is pure action bonanza silly crazyness entertainment. The movie suffers when our main characters aren't in a scene. It was way too long, feels like a LOTR movie at this point a lot of the stuff in the middle could have been cut out.
"You put your foot to that floor, and you pray!"
"My ass is in fuego!"
I don't know where the fun and joy of the "Fast & Furious" movies disappeared to in "F9". Here, everyone in front of and behind the camera seems to be working on autopilot. Vin Diesel doesn't appear to be in the mood to do this film at all. Furthermore, in every shot, it looks like his face was altered with some half-baked deaging technology. And was he ever even on set with the other actors? New to the cast is John Cena as Dom's brother Jacob; siblings you've never heard of are part of every daily soap, after all. Unfortunately, Cena isn't allowed to be funny; he just doesn't work for me in serious roles. The return of Charlize Theron's Cipher isn't something I'm excited about either.
I did like a few things, though, like the return of the "Tokyo Drift" crew. Also, Sung Kang finally gets to be in the mix again. And I love that the series is finally going into space. Of course, that's incredibly stupid, but I definitely prefer it a thousand times over the dull main storyline. Of the action sequences, the only one that sticks in my mind is the one with the magnets, which are very picky about what they pull towards them and what not. But it's better than every single hand-to-hand fight scene. I don't know if the series has another entertaining movie in it; this one definitely wasn't one.
This movie is a joke, and they know that.
I mean these were decent when Vin Diesel was in his early 30s.... but c'mon now, he is pushing 55 and how many times am I supposed to believe that this kind of shit can happen to the same group of people??? It's over, The Rock knows it, most everyone else does, but this is Vin Diesel's career these days i guess...
It's over! Stop making these!
Hm, I don't get the lower ratings. This is a solid 7 for me - maybe even a 7.5/10. It doesn't feel really different from the other FF movies for me (or rather they kept changing over time and this just continues that change).
Is it realistic? No (the physics are completely off)
Does the story make much sense? No
Should this be surprising and was that different in the past? No
IMO the FF franchise was always about cars, action, and hot girls (plus comedy, music, and family). The focus changed more towards action and entertainment/comedy but the overall concept didn't really change.
Anyway, let's get to it.
Physically, it makes absolutely no sense, as always (the magnets would generate a counter force, car physics aren't that crazy, Dom's ridiculous "too soon", etc.).
The scenery is nice.
Dom has a brother.
Mia is back <3 And Brian is still mentioned <3 Taking care of their kids :)
There are two second cars now :D
Han is back! <3 I always hoped for it but didn't expect it anymore... His death was never for certain so I'm glad this is finally resolved :) And I'm especially happy that Han got to tell his story / explained what happened <3 Elle is super cool, I'm glad that Han still cares about people. And he's even reunited with Sean (I only recognized Sean for sure at the end though).
Mia got some action scenes and was driving for a bit <3
And last but not least: Some fun lines:
Shaw and Han(?) at the end got me confused.
shitty movie that is worse than every other one which makes no sense in every way possible, still fun to watch just not very good
The first The Fast and the Furious parts were really great, unfortunately they get worse every time and this part can't be surpassed in absurdity.
The only good thing about this movie is Theron’s haircut.
I'm pretty sure if you watch this entire movie without fast forwarding through the boring bits, you will be stupider. I just watched the action scenes only, and I know my I.Q. dropped.
Japanese title: Wild Speed Jet Break.
This is the one with John Cena as the bad guy, where they have a sports car fly in space, where they use giant magnets to throw other cars around, and where they manage to flip a huge centipede armored truck just by driving into each side with two different cars. The action scenes and dramatic moments are hilarious, but the middle part with the “plot” is too slow and anticlimactic. Although the action scenes and impossible situations are dangerously close to the so-bad-it's-good apex, you can feel that everyone is getting a little tired of the same routine. I miss you, The Rock.
Guilty pleasure score: 7
Actual score: 3.5
Final score: 6
I miss the old days with Mia and Brian, when it all started, the real good jokes, the action, when it was all about the real street racing... This isn't it anymore... They're ruining Paul's legacy. :(
They should've stopped when Paul died, to honor him.
F9 is the craziest, most outrageous entry in the franchise yet (and that’s saying something). When Mr. Nobody goes missing while transporting Cypher, after capturing her, he sends a secret message to Dom’s crew, leading them to chase after an incredibly powerful weapon. Jordana Brewster and Sung Kang return to the series, and are joined by John Cena; but no one stands out, as the cast is just too bloated. And the writing is just terrible, particularly in how it retcons the series to try to make this story work. Also, the CGI is pretty poor, making a lot of the action sequences look fake. Yet the fight scenes and car chases are extraordinarily fun and audaciously entertaining. A popcorn film that you have to turn your brain off to enjoy, F9 is a ridiculously stupid, but also thrilling, ride.
When I watch a movie, I usually take the time for it. It was different with this movie.
After some time, I realized that I was doing completely different things. I played on my cell phone, went to my PC... Every now and then I heard a few statements in the background, turned around and only saw a car grate through space. Oh God... I can hardly remember when a movie that I was really looking forward to, slipped so gracefully into the background of my attention.
Found it completely uninteresting, exaggerated and pointless. The first movie in the series was still really a really good movie.
However, the effects and animations were already insane... I don't want to know how much money went on for it.
A movie about shitting on the laws of physics just to tell a shitty story about some boring and meaningless family drama.
WTF was that? Action, Crime, Thriller?? Why they didn't mar it as sci-fi, or sometimes even fantasy. Maybe if it was comedy, it would be accurate. Car made by bunch of home handymen went to space, guy on the top of the truck hit by street sign without he even notice. very bad car accident Dom without seatbelt and he doesn't have even scratch. Sure he held steering wheel, so it's ok. They talk about Brian like nothing Save your time and don't watch this
When we saw F7, me and my friends joked that they will go to space one day and they did... just Elon Musk did it before them. Now i just want to see where all their cars get assembled Power Rangers type, or even transformers will work fine , after nine space is not the limit
I Definitely DO NOT recommend watching this movie. It is forgettable, even if you are a fan of the franchise.
So much CGI .. it was a cartoon.. might as well watch a Popeye cartoon.. JOKE
absolut low point. excessive and bad made CGI. But the CGI was still better than the plot.
But more unlikely than the car in space was, that the police in London drives BMW ;-)
Did Dom get superpowers without me knowing it? I mean, pushing back that many people in a fight and getting thrown theough brick walls is indicative of both superstrength and invulnerability right? I’m starting to think Roman’s theory is right.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
Haha
wat
Well at least they let the women fight men this time.
Despite my growing discontent with the trajectory of this franchise, I stooped to curiosity and watched this latest movie. My response? They need to stop making these movies! They have so devolved from all that was good about them to become unrecognizable. It’s a waste of money and star power. They are just phoning it in. Please stop! It’s an embarrassment. I give this film a 4 (silly) out of 10. [Action]
Like I always say, there should've just kept with the first two because now it just seems make up the story as they go, shove a big cast in and make it too obvs that it's not possible to do some of the action and only made for the money and become cheesy and a joke. Vin Diesel, I think you should slow down and end it there. I can't say I didn't enjoy the action and it was nice to see old familiar cast from other films in the franchise but defo wasn't anything brilliant.
Over the Top Action Movie without showing blood feels like a Disney movie. Kinda boring. Felt no danger for any actor in all this action scenes.
This is so bad... Firstly Dom just leave a 4 year old alone in his house, that was a 1:1 copy from Haweyes home in Avengers . Then CGI forgot bullet holes in his car. And, I don't even want to bother mentioning all the major issues this unrealitic movie has. It's so bad.
swol bois into these cosplaying cartoons (get it....get it?) got no place taking the piss outa furries or "bronies" - makes about as much sense
