"I'm not gonna remember this movie in T-minus 1 day (Yeah, already forgot)" "C-" Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 62% - "F9 sends the franchise hurtling further over the top than ever, but director Justin Lin's knack for preposterous set pieces keeps the action humming." Metacritic Score: 58 out of 100
As a fan of the franchise, I plan to watch it sooner or later. With this one, however, I think I'll need even more time to disconnect from my brain before I do.
My wife and I really enjoy going to these films and yeah… it’s not a great entry. It’s largely a set up film. They’re putting into place retcons and continuity set ups for the big two film finale they’re promising. Way too much time is spent talking about past events. And I am so over Cypher as a villain at this point. My wife and I talked after seeing it and this would be a better movie if it was about 30 minutes shorter. Nearly every flashback scene should have been cut. At this point fans of the series are willing to roll with anything, so telling us Dom has a secret brother doesn’t need multiple flashbacks. Telling me Han survived Tokyo Drift can easily be a 30 second conversation, not a long flashback sequence. It’s like they don’t know their audience.
Those family memes have been killing me. I liked ones I’ve seen where Dom catches Mufasa when he gets thrown off the cliff.
a channel that's about every single car in the F&F franchise, saying to stop making F&F for 25 minutes. huh.
I think someone has to themselves be pretty fucking dumb to think anyone needs to be told this entire series is dumb. Biggest "no shit" moment of all time.
Just finished watching this and it is dumb...but kinda fun. Throughout the whole movie I was thinking why isn't Justin Lin writing and directing a MASK or GIJOE movie? Could be a billion dollar franchise. Also, what are they implying with the ending with that car?
That’s Brian arriving at the cookout. It’s telling us in universe he’s not gone, but someone has the family’s back and is playing guard dog over the kids. And in that franchise, Brian is 100% the only person I’d hand my kids off to. And yeah, how they haven’t tapped this crew to make a MASK or GI Joe film is beyond me. He’ll give this crew, actors and all, a transformers film. The FF franchise is like a stealth MASK series anyways, and Hobbs and Shaw had that transforming motorcycle.
I knew it was Brian, didn't wanna spoil it for people who hasn't watched it. But it just kinda stink they are milking him and not kill him off while pretexting his family or something.
As someone who has followed this franchise since day one, I am just amazed at just how dumb this new installment is. Never mind the lack of logical physics displayed in the action scenes; Justin Lin has officially destroyed continuity in this franchise by double-, no, triple-retconning everything we know about Dominic Toretto and his family. Here are some of the major issues, just to name a few... Spoiler 1. If Jack Toretto's death is in 1989, why are the stock cars from the late-1990s? 2. In Wild Speed 1, Dom mentions he pulverized Kenny Linder's face with a torque wrench, but in this film, he's clealy using a pipe wrench. Justin Lin obviously doesn't know what a torque wrench looks like. 3. Perhaps the only thing consistent in this series is Agent Stasiak's broken nose. 4. Since when did Mia take up hand-to-hand combat? 5. This film is way too reliant on plot conveniences, such as Dom's old friend Leysa from Wild Speed MAX posing as an Interpol agent. 6. Why does everyone have to be connected to Mr. Nobody? This just made Han's death (and Deckard Shaw's involvement in the series) meaningless. 7. Now what made the Tokyo Drift gang turn into rocket scientists? 8. You'd think throughout all this time she spent with the Toretto family that Ramsey would have taken driving lessons from at least Tej and Roman instead of telling everyone that she's a London girl and no one in London drives. 9. It's been almost a decade since Wild Speed: Sky Mission, yet the Toretto house still hasn't been rebuilt. At least the X-Mansion was rebuilt in a day in X-Men: Apocalypse. Overall, Wild Speed: Jet Break is the worst in the series since Wild Speed X2. Not that any of the previous films required intelligence and logic, but this one simply insults viewers' intelligence because... family. Rating: D+ Wild Speed Ranking 1. Wild Speed Mega MAX (2011) 2.
