Eight sequels, spin-off movies, multiple video games, adult coloring, Funko board games, and a Netflix animation series (featuring Mr. Clean style VinDiesel cartoons) should be in the rearview mirror and Fast Furious. A movie world completely formed by the rhythm of showmaking f9 review. However, F9 found long-time series director Justin Lin making donuts in the franchise's parking lot.
This movie isn't disastrous-Lin's physics-challenge set is more sophisticated and faster than anything else in the 2017 Fast Furious ICE BREAK CG dissonance-but it's momentum. Not a two and a half hour action drama .. And it's because of Dom doing the terrible job of keeping his family together.
Of course, you may disagree with the logic of your study. You can say: With nine movies, we can get rid of fat. We know these people. We know it's a family franchise. Many of us probably play drinking games one shot at a time when someone says family, and use family synonyms to imply that they have a family to prove it. (And as a result, I was hospitalized). London, Tbilisi, Montequinto, Cologne: Mandatory outdoor pornography with riffs in the music to guide you through sudden lofty shots on the horizon or at the top of a mountain is also a reliable treat. That is, we know how it works.
But at peak times, the announcement of a new entry for the Fast franchise is like listening to Mister Softee's jingle a few blocks away and knowing that you'll be at your home in the time it takes to plead with your parents. I also know that there is. .. For a spare dollar bill. The promise is joy. Was it always worth it? Well, no ... but the devilishly clever trick at the heart of this franchise, after all, takes advantage of the money opportunities of most other movies of this type, the chase scene. Was to turn the whole movie into a slippery reverse about the great joy of this genre: all the climaxes, (almost) always there is the charismatic turmoil of the comic relief beats and the soap opera that connects them.
On its basic side, with that format in mind, the actions promised in F9 benefit from cutting room females, and even if the same established gag repeats less, those gags are elsewhere. Even if you feel more and more borrowed, you'll hit at least half of the movie's correct mark. F9 throws everything that comes into our way. Jungle chase, mine, complete turmoil in London's streets (following in favela's reconstruction, but in cobblestone streets), multiple layers of villains holding all the strings, to the descriptive past Flashbacks, and the improbable joy John Cena plays the beta of Diesel Alpha.
There is a bright spot. Edinburgh looks nice. Dom must block dozens of minions with his bare hands. If Samsung didn't need that much hair, his solution would be biblical. There are several scenes where Ramsey explains the plot on a huge computer. I swear I saw Super Mario's question block on his big screen. Rome's early death brush reminds us of all the other times he came out of a deadly catastrophe without scratches. It's very meta, but Gibson causes a sweet mess in self-awareness. He can't understand why no one is crazy. The best moment of the movie is a close-up of the Roman face, positively fascinated by the most ridiculous thing Fast Furious has ever done.
Lynn is reported to conclude the main series with two more sequels. Your job here will guide the franchise in the right direction, but it's not the perfect solution. The title is not a lie. F9 is not bad and not good. It's just amazing.
