The more fat Vin Diesel has on his neck, the dumber and dumber things get, and all the time you're wondering which is worse, Momoa's buffoonery or the attempts at "Shakespearean" character acting by the chump in charge. You can't enjoy the action if you know that 90% of what you see is CGI, so there is no human factor, no risk. So, while for example Bullitt can be enjoyed even after fifty years and gives you a pleasant tingling sensation, here I was bored after 10 minutes of fooling around in Rome, and I would rather do something more useful, like getting drunk :). Moreover, I'm getting tired of the franchise from the human side, because characters who were previously arch enemies are now best mates, or the other way around in the next episode, depending on whether the actor has managed to sign a contract, and you really stop giving a fuck. At least the production didn't make Charlize wear those stupid wigs anymore, here she's looks fine here :)

I can't believe this is really happening, but is the FF franchise finally going back to the old way where cars, action and brutal pacing were the main assets? Because in Fast X, there aren't nearly as many blatantly bullshit CGI sequences that make you grab your head, nor the moronic flying into space, but it keeps the action quite believable and pretty much keeps its head down (except for the final car chase, where I laughed quite a lot at times, and where they had to do one "jump" from car to car... ), which is much better than overconfident naive gimmicks. A big asset is the iconic villain played by Jason Momoa, who played the egocentric, deranged narcissist with pleasure and whose motivations seem natural. There’s nice action, cars, chases, shootouts, classic "family" (thanks for the new meme material) and overall I don't have a bad feeling about the new part as I did about the previous ones, on the contrary I am surprised and excited at the same time. The humour is on point, John Cena and Jason Statham make me smile (perhaps only Dwayne Johnson is missing to perfection), and even though the open ending is a good tease and a bit out of place in this series, I have to say I had a great time. It just seems to me that Vin Diesel is a bit fed up with the role and sort of jaded, without emotion and without mood...? So hopefully the next bit will be dominated by Hobbs and Shaw and I'll be satisfied to the max.

A reliable dose of the same old same old, occasionally lacking in any exceptional originality. Even though everyone in front of and behind the camera can bend over backwards to surprise, provoke, or turn the laws of physics upside down for the viewers over and over again, I can't help but sometimes sit with the feeling that it's not a complete Yes. I welcome Brie Larson and the wild Jason Momoa in the role of the Brazilian clown Pennywise, I can also accept any "fun for the whole family". After all the leaping over skyscrapers, endless highways, or torpedos getting hurled away, I was just expecting something more specific than complicated chases through metropoles and more escalating triumphs pulled out of agency sleeves.

Just as stupid as last time, but a lot more entertaining. This time, Dom and his family face an enemy that's been preparing for a clash with them for ten years, and he wants to enjoy it. And most of the cast enjoys it too, not afraid to push the tenth Fast and Furious into comedy, but also pushing the most superficial characters to at least some development. Everyone here is trying and everyone here is having fun. Except Vin Diesel, who apparently still thinks he's making something like Hamlet with cars. Stupid, but fun.

I am slowly starting to forget what happened where and who is family or enemy with whom and in what frame of mind we actually parted ways with him/her. It's still dumb, and now it's hideously unfinished. But it has Momoa, a brutally wisecracking, loud, mocking, laughing Momoa, a breath of fresh air in this overblown franchise. Everyone shows up: the dead, the alive, the squabbling, with newcomers Jack Reacher and Captain Marvel + Ratcatcher 2. The action is fiercer and stronger than last time. I'm still enjoying it immensely, but I'm looking forward to the end. There, the paraplegic Torreto will have to cope with a different type of life after waking up from anaesthesia.
