Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

Fair point, silly me. My bad. It’s obviously much more "cohesive" to just grab a thousand cars and dump them onto the streets—where was my head at? Or, you know, dodging torpedoes by hand... or avoiding a runaway tanker... honestly, the list of things that make zero sense in these movies could go on forever...

Hold up, one tiny edit. I’d bet anything that a heatseeking missile took out that submarine in the eighth installment, not a Charger.

Which one was following what? Oh, right—the Flying Charger. Because clearly, it makes perfect sense for these cars to survive everything from a thousand-foot drop to an EMP strapped to their damn roof. Logic and reason... pure genius...

Didn't realize I was on duty for this thread. Pretty sure I wasn't even the one who started it. 🤔 And I didn't even see it until today, so it's the same old story. Who actually gives a damn? Certainly not you, apparently. From what I can tell after two posts, you're the type who needs everything to be perfectly precise. There are plenty of us here who aren't, and we couldn't care less. Well, some of us... 😁

So I'm just sitting here waiting for you "precise" folks (actually, it's just you nitpicking, let's be real) to inform all us imprecise people that the thread title is technically wrong. Give me a break! And thanks a lot for making it my problem, since I'll be busy watching Hobbs and Shaw anyway, not whatever F&F spin-off this is supposed to be...

spoiler !!!!!!!

I don't know, I used to have this dream where Reynolds would somehow show up in the F&F franchise. It probably would've worked back when Walker was around, mostly because they looked like brothers or something, but this? This just feels meh.
They packed the screen with cameos, but the one guy I actually went to the theater to see didn't even show up!!!! What kind of massive lineup is that even supposed to be?

And then there's those random Reynolds moments, the nods to good job in Italy, and Vanessa Kirby.
Honestly, Rock is a huge letdown. Every time I think back to him in Fast Five... man, that’s still easily his best performance.
Now he's basically just a neutered Hercules.

I used to dream about seeing Reynolds pop up in the F&F series somehow. That was back during the Walker era, since they look like long-lost brothers, but this just feels mid.
They hyped up a massive cameo, but the actor I actually went to see at the theater didn't even show up!!!! What kind of "massive" is that!?

Also, those Reynolds moments, the nod to good job in Italy, Vanessa Kirby.
The movie is a huge letdown. When I think back to Fast Five... that’s still his best role to this day.
Now he's just like a neutered Hercules.

Personally, I was cracking up every single second he was on screen. I was losing it, couldn't even pull myself together! It was brilliantly ridiculous. 🍿

It would’ve been pretty brilliant if they’d just introduced a totally new character around
Fast Eight. But this Hobbs guy doesn't really have anything to do with this character
