New Indiana Jones trailer is lit
It’s almost too cartoonish. Like there are some fun scenes and stuff but it’s not that great of a movie.
The opening scene where Dom becomes the King of Cuba by winning a street race is just…dumb
There one hit was a cover.
They tried to make Movies a hit. Twice. After they became a one hit wonder they remade the music video to give it new legs on TRL. It lasted about a week.
I mean…I’m going to say yes but I love the franchise.
Their lead singer broke his neck in a bus cradn right after their big break.
But the Cuba race sets up the fact that he has gained resistance to Fire damage, which comes back later at the end when he shrugs off being hit by a missile.
If you haven't seen them, it is one of the most buckwild movie series out there, it's definitely an experience to watch it through so I definitely say yes
The Rock redirecting the torpedo is just…*chef’s kiss*
It’s wild that this is true despite the very next movie having them drive a Pontiac Fiero into space to ram a satellite.
Also Dom hulking out and ripping down two giant concrete beams with his bare hands.
Do they all three hold up equally? Because I think the first is kind of a masterpiece.
The opening race is the only good part of Fast 8
If she hadn't hooked up with Dom she'd still be alive. Can't have a baby mama and a side girl in this FAMBLY
You also need to know it starts dumb and only gets dumber. Personally that's not a negative for me, but you definitely need to be willing to go along for the ride.
even the bad one?
and if you land on a car it's basically a powerup
The Double Toasted crew had that exact same reaction, so this was very amusing, and it's funny to think that they're right, the first movie does have its charms that the later movies don't:
The first and third are amazing, I didn't like the second as much though.
I picked up that album before they blew up because of Smooth Criminal, and the whole thing was great.
On the plus side though, Jason Momoa puts in a massively over the top performance and Alan "2 refrigerators in a suit" Ritchson as an agency goon is something I'd managed to miss in the promo stuff so that was a good surprise.

A more bold choice would have been to have one film about Dom running around and part 2 about the rest of the crew but I suspect that the ensemble aspect of the film being (Afaik) hard contracted puts an end to that
Cena being (at least seemingly) gone is a real shame because his road trip with lil B was probably my favourite part
Holy fuck.
It says something that even when the movie was in hindsight clearly wrapping up I was unstuck from time until it was really clear it was wrapping up.
That hallway fight with the door frame got the most visceral reaction out of my theater that I have ever experienced.
I found a friend that’s never seen a F&F I’m getting him to watch Hobbs and Shaw first then the rest of the series from beginning to end.
The Raid 1 and 2 are two of my favorite theater experiences that I've ever had based largely on audience reactions. Especially The Raid 2, where after one major fight finishes and everything goes quiet in the film as the scope of the damage is revealed, the entire theater is hushed except for one guy who audibly says aloud "oh shit!" causing a theater-wide chuckle because yeah, Oh Shit indeed.

Are they still stealing DVD players?
Oh no…no they are not.
They’re stealing BLU RAY PLAYERS now
