Fast X

I liked Fast 9 but can't say the same for Fast 10. Was it the recycled footage? Was it Aquaman? Something didn't feel right in this that felt right in 9. Joy? Fast needs to spark joy. This didn't spark joy. Thank you, Fast X.

This was, of course, a totally ludicrous movie devoid of any pretense of realism or intelligence when it comes to basic science and physics from the script writers. It was however, also a quite fun movie. It is also a movie free from the usual Hollywood far left woke preaching which is, of course, a big plus. It is a shame that there is always a bunch of trolls around giving movies like this single star reviews.…

I've more or less enjoyed the Fast and the Furious franchise though with each installment, the writers attempt to go further in its goofiness from the previous movie, it's becoming harder and harder to really be entertained, not to mention care one iota about these characters. I will say Jason Momoa, in whatever he was doing, was a hoot in the cold-blooded villain.…

Writing a review for a sequel like “Fast X” feels pretty pointless. It’s the type of adrenaline-fueled blockbuster that rabid fans will eagerly shell out money to see and want to love, while snobby critics will begrudgingly watch with a chip on their shoulder combined with a predetermined disdain for whatever will unfold.…

Even for a Fast and Furious film, this is a total price of crap. You'll hate yourself for watching it.

I can always rely on this franchise to give me what I desire from it. <em>'Fast X'</em> is a great time. I adore the whole series and have done so since watching the opening entry of it as a teen, sure it has changed tremendously since those halcyonic days of 2001 (OK, I was like 5 then...) but my fondness and enjoyment of these films remains unchanged - quality entertainment!…

The very definition of moronic. Loud, obnoxious, cheesy characterisations, idiotic back story and enough bling to make you wince. The only vaguely redeeming quality is the polish and money spent on the over the top, at times novel, action scenes but that's not really saying much, in the wider context of awfulness, this represents. I'm not sure who the demographic for this flick is?…

Starting off with a bit of nostalgia, this high-octane adventure sees just how "Dom" (Vin Diesel) et al become the targets of "Dante" (Jason Momoa). The most improbable of robberies from a police station followed by an even less plausible chase through the streets of Rio dragging a ten ton safe behind their cars! Now I was thinking, this is going to be rubbish. Well, it isn't actually.…

A vacous and imbecile action potboiler which does what it's meant to do, "Entertain". Fast X is a noisy actioner which pushes the limits of inventive action set pieces but this time stays grounded compared to the space shit they tried last time.…
