Likable actors. Check. Fun dialogue. Check. Dumb stunts. Check. Cars hooked to a helicopter trying to bring is down but the helicopter keeps climbing so more cars hook onto the existing cars. Check. What were you expecting? Good movie. Check.

We're nine movies deep in this franchise and, somehow, they've managed to keep getting my lowly, apparently-crocodile-brained ass in the seat to watch. For me, I think it really all comes down to the set piece design, and with "Hobbs & Shaw" you're given nothing different. This is a series of films that steers hard into the skid (forgive me) of ridiculousness, and when you have motorcycles flying through double decker buses, a flat-bed truck trying desperately to outrun a collapsing smokestack, and a helicopter playing tug-of-war with a series of roadsters fashioned with tow, you're holding up your end of the bargain. No, this doesn't change the action movie game in any of the ways that really count. No, the character and narrative elements aren't at optimal levels of intrigue. But did this really have anything else riding on it other than being a solid, turn-your-brain-off time at the movie theater? Also no. And in that, I'd say it's mostly a success.… Expand

This film is exactly what we have come to expect from the Fast and the Furious franchise, mindless action with over the top characters and and a plot with several implausibilities. Meaning this film could either be wicked fun or simply horrible, thankfully this follows the way of the former not the latter. The characters all written and portrayed well and the action is well paced add that to your standard Fast and the Furious message of family and togetherness and could have a really great film. However, this film does have it's fair share of problems. First being that it feels 30 minutes to long. The second problem is they don't give a good explanation for why they don't call the rest of the Fast and the Furious characters for help. I get not having them because you want to start a new series of films staring Hobbs and Shaw but you still need to give us a narrative reason why they aren't there. Lastly though the action was well paced it wasn't shot all that well and it relied on to much slow motion. Yet those problems don't stop me from having a good time with the film. In conclusion if your looking for a good mindless action film to pass the time than this is the film for you.… Expand

The chemistry between Johnson & Statham was on point and their back and forth dialogue was absolutely hilarious. Throw in Vanessa Kirby and it was a perfect trifecta! Idris Elba was perfect as "Black Superman" and his interactions with the other three leads was gold. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention at least two actor cameos, which were brilliant and unexpected. I won't mention who they are because I think they're uncredited, but one is a CIA agent and the other an air marshal. Both were so funny in their roles and every time they appeared the audience just loved it.

The action scenes, continuing in the tradition of the Fast & Furious films to keep upping the stakes were sometime over-the-top, but they were so much fun to watch. The tech was also a bit too sci-fi to be believable, but actually worked quite well in the context of the plot. This movie had everything you could want from a mindless (not a bad thing!) summer popcorn flick - action, comedy, drama, & sci-fi.… Expand

Unlike the main series, this movie isn't so much about fast cars than it is a action/spy film. (There are a few car chase scenes in this, and they are pretty top notch). This is also the first film to feature sci-fi elements which is a far leap if you consider that the original F&F was fairly grounded. Still, considering how increasingly fantastic the movies have gotten over the years, I feel perfectly prepared for this happening.

The purpose of this movie was purely to entertain, and it succeeded. Whole thing looks great. Fights are well choreographed. Doesn't hurt that director David Leitch has a long history as a stunt coordinator. There are some fairly inventive action moments. The film maintains the franchise's history of great scenery. This is definitely the funniest film in the franchise.

Admittedly, the plot and the emotional beats are rather lightweight, even by Fast & the Furious standards. (There's usually a scene or two based on the characters' relationships that really hit home.) Think Roger Moore era James Bond. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing about the story that really drops the ball, and the film builds upon the lead characters by shedding light on the leads. It's just that the plot points feel perfunctory.

They do lean into the constant bickering between Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) perhaps a little too much, but the two actors manage to make it work. It helps that the back-and-forth is broad and childish enough that you can't helped but be amused rather than feeling it all was too petty.

The entire cast in this is pretty darn good. Vanessa Kirby as Shaw's sister Hattie commands the screen as much as the leads. Idris Elba manages to make what could've been a pretty paper-thin villain with a couple of pretty cheesy lines work. Though it's basically a cameo, Helen Mirren makes her scenes as Shaw and Hattie's mother count.

Okay, this isn't the greatest action movie ever made. The plot is just kind of there. Yeet the film is still pretty darn fun and testosterone packed. In the series, I'd rank this below F&F 5-7 and above the rest.… Expand

To save the day, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are forced to team up, despite their bad blood in earlier Fast and Furious sequels. The contemptuous banter between them is one of the movie's most enjoyable aspects. Actually, Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart (uncredited cameos) provide some of the funniest moments. Then there's the action. There's plenty of it, but it's more about fights than physics-defying stunts, although there are a few of those. Many of these moments land (literally) and some don't, but there's still sufficient energy and sass to make it fun. NOTE: Stay thru ALL of the credits for 3 extra comedy bits.… Expand

However, this one manages to blend humour, action and heart in a way that none of its predecessors could. Fun cameos from Kevin Hart and Ryan Reynolds provide some funny moments, but most importantly the chemistry between the two leads (technically three) is very enjoyable. It really looks like the actors are having fun, not just for the movie. The dialogue between the leads is laugh out loud funny at times. The action of the movie is also very outlandish, but it's part of the fun. It's hard to take the movie seriously, but the heart is definitely there. I feel like a better villain than Idris Elba could've been chosen. Elba does great in his role but he's just too likable to be a villain, I never feel truly scared or on edge. Also, the movie is plain predictable, from the start. Aside from its flaws, the movie was very well done and I hope they put the Fast and Furious series to rest and begin making more Hobbs and Shaw.… Expand

A fun action-packed on-the-Edge of your seat thrill ride with great cinematography, a hell of a lot of choreography in the action, great chemistry by The Rock, Jason Statham and Vanessa Kirby and a great expansion of the Fast and Furious franchise with this very first spinoff. You’ll see unexpected celebrity cameos. You’ll visit a lot of locations on the globe-trotting adventure of our three main heroes. And, like I said earlier, you’re gonna get a lot of car action and action-related action. Plus, there are important messages for everyone in this movie.

Only downside are we don’t get any lines from Roman Reigns and not enough screen time for Eiza Gonzalez, though I’m hopeful we see more of her in more potential side films in the F&F franchise, assuming this one does well.

I’d say this is the second-best film in the Fast and Furious franchise, underneath Furious 7. Go see it. It’s worth your time and see it in IMAX or Dolby. Final rating: 10/10. 5 stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

P.S. Don’t leave the theater until all the credits are finished. There are three post credits scenes to stay for.… Expand

By that I mean it's a mixture of ludicrous storytelling and high-octane action with a cast of endearingDespite a lack of Vin Diesel and noticeably fewer car chases, this is unmistakably still a post-Fast Five era Fast & Furious movie. By that I mean it's a mixture of ludicrous storytelling and high-octane action with a cast of endearing characters from both sides of the law coming together to save the day. It's ridiculous, over-the-top, and so much fun.

Dwayne Johnson might have even better chemistry with Statham than he does with Hart. The reluctant partnership between the two is the centerpiece of the movie. Their verbal back-and-forth is hilarious and I give kudos to the Fast & Furious team for realizing that bringing these two characters together like this would create such a successful dynamic.

The plot shows just how dangerously close this franchise is getting to jumping the shark. It's weird to think that a relatively grounded film about a cop going undercover to infiltrate a group of street racing hijackers has now spun-off into a tale involving super viruses and cybernetically enhanced robot people, but here we are. If things get anymore absurd from here Dominic and crew will start coming dangerously close to Sharknado territory. Hobbs & Shaw (somehow) never crosses that line though. So you should be able to remain invested for almost all of its running-time.

I say "almost" because there are a few places where the pacing drops of a bit and I caught myself realising how long the movie was going on for. Luckily, another spectacular fight sequence was always right around the next corner to quickly regain my attention.

Director David Leitch has already proven himself to be one of the best names in action today with his work on John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Deadpool 2. Hobbs & Shaw only bolsters that reputation as weapons are improvised, buildings are exploded, and a handful of vehicles appropriately get to burn rubber. It's preference for fisticuffs over firearms is certainly appreciated, and the attention to detail in giving each star their own fighting style is commendable. Statham uses some of fastest and best looking martial arts this side of The Raid to dispatch groups of enemies at once, Johnson of course acts as the sledgehammer to his scalpel, and newcomer Vanessa Kirby has a tendency to wrap up foes with her limbs in ways that would make for a grappling/jui jitsu fan's wet dream MMA match.

Kirby proves to be a great addition to the mix when she isn't being forced into the damsel in distress role. Nobody can make embarrassing dialog work like The Rock though, so the few times where she's forced to trade lines that are just as bad (like in their interrogation sequence) it's a little tough to watch. None of this is the fault of the actress, but rather the writing. So there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out with her character for future installments.

Despite ditching most of the cast and firmly instating itself as a standalone side-entry in the canon, Hobbs & Shaw continues to deliver the same kind of big thrills that have kept audiences coming back to this franchise after its soft reboot back in 2009. You can even catch glimpses the long-running theme of makeshift family here and there. It's definitely the hardest to take seriously from a narrative standpoint (which is saying something), but considering all these new sci-fi elements have lead to battles this thrilling I can't complain too much.… Expand

As user reviewer, Proteus, comments, this8.5? Phenomenal cinematic aptitude, script and tonal control arranged by David Leitsch. This is the best retro-1990s blockbuster in years. Far ahead of any of the Fast & Furious entries, for me. As user reviewer, Proteus, comments, this is an unnecessary movie. The look and feel here remind me viscerally of Cameron's and Schwarzenegger's 1994 film True Lies. This is True Lies #2 in terms of look and feel.

Very few minor elements of Hobbs & Shaw reflect the zeitgeist of 2019. They are:
- respect shown to women,
- respect shown to Idris Elba and Kevin Hart as black men, - honoring of Samoan culture - and the way the main macho male keeps telling characters, "I love you," in a sincere male way, not as a running gag. For those interested, in the Cards of Destiny, both Johnson and Schwarzenegger (Jack of Hearts birthday) have strong heart suit potentials.

Jason Stratham has no heartfelt brief to live up to but seems to enjoy endorsing true human values if a script calls for it. Neither asked nor addressed here is how would an action blockbuster express human values more reflective of our current zeitgeist? The Bond franchise has been ignoring this question for decades now. Of recent movies, only Wonder Woman and Alita: Battle Angel feel reflective of our time and place to me.… Expand

The surprise cameos are great details and they also up the hilarity of the film, with both roles having amazingly funny moments. Complaints? An underused villain and some areas in the middle act of the film do get pretty slow. Overall, it's a great Summer blockbuster and is surely a fun time in the theater. P.S., stay for the five end credit scenes!… Expand

De forma geral, gostei do filme. Me senti entretido na maior parte dele, mas acredito que poderia ser bem melhor.

Primeiro, a "química" entre os dois personagens até que flui bem. Digamos que fica "fácil" com dois atores carismáticos como Dwayne Johnson e Jason Statham [Vale tambem mencionar atuação de Idris Elba, que faz o que pode no seu papel]. Porém, tanto essa química quanto o resto do filme seguem uma fórmula na qual estamos habituados. Eles fazem sim de forma satisfatória para o público geral, mas quem é mais atento tende a se decepcionar.

As lutas, um dos momentos de ápice - ou assim deveria ser - do filme, se mostram desgastantes; não acrescentam nada de novo. Sem uma dinâmica que faz diferenciar-se de outros filmes de ação. A OST também segue a mesma linha. Não é marcante, e sua presença faz parte da receita do bolo. Por outro lado, aqui há uma evolução natural quanto aos efeitos especiais. O filme tem um aspecto técnico basicamente impecável. A cena de luta na chuva só tem um mero destaque por conta dos efeitos muito bem aplicados, aparentando ser completamente orgânico. E quanto a história de "salve o mundo do vilão", e no ápice da sua hipocrisia, "acredite no coração". Oh my... Isso foi muito deprimente. Enfim, devido a proposta, o filme deveria ter mais confiança para arriscar, porém cai na receita blockbuster de Hollywood, sendo mais um filme pra lucrar, ao invés de inovar - ou ao menos tentar.… Expand

As you could probably tell from the trailer, Hobbs and Shaw is not a deep movie (in anyway).
But despite its unbelievable stunts, Hobbs and Shaw is still a decent action film. One that could have been better if it had a solid story. PS WaitAs you could probably tell from the trailer, Hobbs and Shaw is not a deep movie (in anyway).

Co-Writer Note: Not enough plot twists. Obvious story line but still a good camera work. Scenes (even though they are sparse) where funny and action packed it was an overall a fantastic movie.
Co-Writer Rating 7/10
Writer Rating 6.5/10
Cast, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Idris Elba
Directed by David Leitch
Introduction: I felt there was a lot less driving than the previous fast and furious (FAF) that have been known for; Driving, chase scenes and more. The title is a bit misleading because It would bring in more fans of (FAF) thinking there was more driving than there was. It was a bit more like mission impossible that is more like stealthy and action. The type of the movie was action and the moral is teamwork. Luke (Dwayne), Deckard (Jason) hate each other due to a previous mission. Hattie (Vanessa) has a deadly virus that can kill a large amount of people. Hobbs and Shaw must retrieve it. While Brixton (Idris) self-proclaimed Black Superman wants to get his hands on it. Luke (Dwayne) is a funny sarcastic individual but he is not that intelligent he is a personal favourite. Deckard (Jason) is a lot more serious that Luke he is a like licenced killer with a bad temper. Hattie (Vanessa) has a fierce attitude and used to work for the MI5/MI6 or Secret Service other individuals say she killed her team and stole the virus she fights like an acrobat. Brixton (Idris) is more cybernetic and sinister he fights like a cyborg with vastly powerful punches and can take out Luke and Deckard at the same time.
The camerawork was quite good: e.g. in the trailer there is a scene where a helicopter was pulling multiple cars of a cliff with the beautiful sea in the background the camerawork was extraordinary and the actors where very persuasive with the determination in their eyes. The sound effects where fantastic and the CGI was surprisingly good especially in the fight scenes with slow-motion and the spit coming out of the mouths after a punch. I recommend this film to ages 13-16 but every could enjoy it the rating is 12A… Expand

Their very combined presence is a bit of a "yin-yang" mixture of bombastic action, testosterone, comedy, and style. Their chemistry just works. Vanessa Kirby plays her part very well and holds her own in terms of action, comedy and drama, considering she is acting between two titans of the action genre. And then, of course, Idris Elba makes being the bad guy, cool! Cold and calculating, style and substance, all combine in Idris' character onscreen. The cast is crucial in F&F movies - if the chemistry doesn't work, the movie won't carry. In Hobbs & Shaw, I can assure you the cast is the perfect blend.

The movie itself isn't too far off the usual F&F franchises. Stylish and sophisticated bad guys attempt to take the world (this time via a walking virus timebomb), only to be stopped by the Fast & Furious families. All embellished in bombastic, over-the-top action. I won't spoil the surprises but there are a few great cameos worth their weight in gold too. It was also cool to see the Samoan culture featured prominently in here - it made the action scenes rather "organic" amongst all the sophistication.

Very very good movie, highly recommended.… Expand
