FAST X REVIEW

 Fast X review: 

To say this is a stupid fucking movie is an understatement. There’s no integrity or art making involved. These movies used to mean something. Now they’re just mindless action movies. They make Michael Bay’s movies look like Casablanca. At this point everyone knows these movies are just cash grabs. They’re extremely profitable, and that’s why Universal Pictures keeps green lighting them no matter how bad they are.

The last three movies have grossed:

Furious 7: 1.5 billion

Fate of the Furious: 1.2 billion 

F9: 726 million 

Fast franchise total: 6.9 billion 

When you’re making this type of money quality doesn’t matter.

The review: 

Like I said in the opening of this review, this is a stupid fucking movie. Not only is it a stupid fucking movie. It’s an inconsistent movie. First off, the main villain of the story is Dante Reyes. Dante is the son of Fast 5’s villain Hernan Reyes who was robbed of 100 million dollars by Dom and his crew, and killed by Hobbs. But check this out! Hernan didn’t have a son in Fast 5! Once again the directors ignored their own continuity and retconned a character that never existed. 

Dante is played by Aquaman’s Jason Mamoa, and he really is over the top in his portrayal. He’s a combination of Heath Ledger’s Joker & Jim Carrey’s Riddler. Incredibly zesty and zany with cringe dialogue. You can tell Mamoa is having too much fun with this role.

This is a poorly directed movie with a poorly written screenplay. I can see why Justin Lin left the film because of creative differences with Vin Diesel. This movie is all over the damn place. One minute it’s John Cena and Dom’s annoying son driving and flying all over the country. The next someone is in fucking Antarctica. The next scene someone is in fucking Brazil. Then the next scene someone is in London. It’s wild as hell. 

Now the Fast & Furious franchise has NEVER been know for its realism, but they’ve really been pushing boundaries. I thought I’ve seen it all after these motherfuckers went to space in the last movie. But now we have people still returning from the dead, a bowling ball bomb destroying Rome, a damn car escaping an explosion by driving down a dam, All while using terrible CGI. 

It’s crazy how a little movie about street racing and stealing dvd players turned into a superhero heist film, because the shit they do in these movies is something you’d expect to see in a MCU movie. At this point Dom & his crew has turned into a parody of itself at this point, and I’m sure everyone is aware of that. It’s even referenced in the movie. Just two more movies to go. Just two more movies to go. And this franchise can finally go to the junkyard. 

Fast X gets 2 stars out of 5 from me dawg.
