( 20/100 )

"Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" es una grosería cinematográfica y una absurdez inaceptable. La historia pretende sostenerse con una ideología ilógica, nada ética e incoherente; por lo tanto la "gran" voluntad del villano, interpretado por Idris Elba, simplemente provoca vergüenza. El guión, al contrario de otras películas de Fast And Furious y cualquier película de acción, construye su épica con frases ofensivas entre Hobbs y Shaw que se extienden eternamente. En ese aspecto, la actuación de Dwayne Johnson y Jason Statham no solo es mala, sino que, gracias a la misma dirección, es tan melodramática y deficiente que da lástima. Con toda seguridad digo que ni Vanessa Kirby, Helen Mirren o Eiza Gonzales (especialmente Eiza) tuvieron una participación relevante o digna de ser vista en todo el film. Los efectos especiales. Por Dios. Siempre pensé que el punto de la saga es crear una acción espectacular que empuje los limites de la realidad en el concepto de F&F (Furious 7 podría ser un buen ejemplo), sin embargo, la película es un ejercicio retrograda en la que las coreografías de pelea se interrumpen por la misma edición y los efectos especiales están tan lejos de ser realistas o dentro de las leyes de la lógica física, que provoca molestia. Este sutil Transformers se escuda detrás de valores culturales como la familia que "se tiene, se recupera y se gana" solo para eliminar cualquier gota de empatía, sensibilidad o sensatez. "Hobbs And Shaw" más que una película, es un montón de niños meándose dinero encima después de vender chicles masticados a sus padres ricos quienes, con indiferencia, les dan el dinero para que los dejen de molestar. Lo peor es que esta plaga promete un futuro, que es lo que más me ofende, pero ahora que sé que tan fútil puede ser la industria del cine, aspiro a actuar en contra de un consumo de entretenimiento ínfimo. Por favor no la vean.

"Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" is a cinematography vulgarity and an unacceptable absurdity. The story pretends to sustain itself with an illogic, non-ethic and incoherent ideology; therefore, the "great" willingness of the villain, played by Idris Elba, simply provokes shame. The scrip, on the contrary of other Fast & Furious and any other action movie, builds it's epic throughout offensive dialogue between Hobbs and Shaw which extends eternally. In that aspect, the acting of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham is not just bad, but thanks to the direction itself, it is so melodramatic and deficient that it gives pity. With all the security in me, I state that not even Vanessa Kirby, Helen Mirren or Eiza Gonzales (specially Eiza), had relevant or worthy of seeing participation in the hole film. The special effects. My God. I always thought that the point being of the saga was to create a spectacular action that pushes the boundaries of the realness in the concept of F&F (Furious 7 could be a good example), but the movie is a retrograde exercise in which the fight choreographies are interrupted by the edition itself and special effects are way far from being realistic or accord to the physical logic that is annoying. This subtle Transformers shields itself behind the cultural value of family that "you have, you recover, and you win" just to delete any drop of empathy, sensitivity or sanity. "Hobbs & Shaw" more than a movie, is a bunch of kids pissing themselves money after selling chewed gum to their rich parents who, with indifference, give them the money to stop bothering them. The worst thing is that this plague promises a future, which is what offends me the most, but now that I know how futile the cinematic industry can be, I aspire to act against the consumerism of empty entertainment. Please don't watch it.

'Hobbs & Shaw' is literally 2 hours of people dissing each other and it isn't just from Dwayne and Statham.

It's a dumb movie, but at this point we should just expect that with these movies. Judging it on a entertainment standpoint, it succeeds on that. I was never bored watching it, which is the best compliment I can give.

Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham both have such great chemistry and comedic timing, the movie wouldn't stand without them, of course.

I liked Idris Elba as the main baddie who has a past vendetta to crack. While not one of his best performance, yet still manages to bring a physical presence to the screen. Vanessa Kirby was a standout as she's fully aware how ridiculous it all is, but plays along anyway.

There's a few surprises along the way that actually caught me off guard.

However, judging this as a movie - there's less positives to say. The dialogue is awful, action scenes happen for the shake of it, and the movie is a little too long. And since everybody in this universe is immortal despite the fights, free falls and explosions - Dwayne and Statham are unhurt, which deflates any sense of danger. Also the trash talking between the two gets stale really quick.

Overall rating: See it if you know what you are getting into.

When Fast and Furious started things were about cars. The next two sequels changed the mold but cars remained the strong element.
After the fourth film all that was forgotten and Brian O'Conner, Dominic Toretto and all their gang went from being mechanics and thieves to being super special agents.

Ok I understand, this is a business and people enjoy it and for those reasons the whole franchise changed and because of it this spin-off was born from the characters of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham who became quite popular within the franchise.

This film doesn't fool you and tells you frontally: This is a full in your face action story and even gets into the field of science fiction.
You certainly know what this films is offering and yet despite all the grandiloquence of its staging, it never ceases to be an empty show.

Even when the film should not give you rest from all the action chaos, it does so with many interludes that deal with a disastrous comedy.
I say it sincerely, the chemistry between Johnson and Statham may be quite good in the action terrain but their comic timing is appalling. The dialogues and the jokes burn for how pathetic they are. Childish as ****
Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart have small interventions and they without much effort are much funnier.
Vanessa Kirby does enough with what the story allows her.

The script sucks, understand that from the first minute.
The story is as thin as its own conflict and the little that advances its ''mysterious narrative'' with the villain behind the curtain is only to immediately sell you a sequel that will undoubtedly exist.

Hobbs & Shaw has quite good action sequences and in that they work quite well, that's where the film excels. Even considering the great implausibility of the majority of those scenes, they don't stop being entertaining but that doesn't compensate for a whole film and never will do, although obviously everything will continue to depend on your own tastes and expectations.

If you want to turn off your brain for two hours and enjoy entertainment that demands nothing, you have an option here.

Yet, Idris Elba deserved better.

I expected this film to be along the lines of the movie, "Knight and Day" with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz with respect to the mix of action and humor, but this movie is actually lots and lots of action just as in any straight forward action flick, with tiny bits of humor here and there. You could literally remove all humor and still have a full length movie. It is that incidental. The result is that much of the humor seems out of place because between humorous moments you forget it's not just a straight forward action flick. Also, the movie opens with a pretty extensive and brutal scene introducing the bad guy, which also seems out of place in a movie that attempts to ride this particular line between action and humor. I know the bad guy isn't supposed to be part of the humor, but there is still a limit to how brutal a movie like this should get in any scene or else it feels schizophrenic. Unless it's shooting for black humor like the Coen Brothers, which it most certainly isn't. In fact, it has a very strong, unmistakably Disney-esque message at the end, about the power of love etc. So bottom line, it was OK but I think they need some serious reshoots to rebalance.

Also, one more point from a strictly action perspective. I saw the opening to one of the Fast & Furious movies. It's the only other Fast & Furious bit I've ever watched. I don't remember which one it was but the scene was with the good guys racing down a road in the Dominican Republic and some kind of truck threatening them. It was a brilliant action bit. Nothing in Hobbs & Shaw comes close to that Fast & Furious scene, despite all the over-the-top stuff with a helicopter linked to trucks and so on.

The film began largely due to an on-set dispute which arose between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson during filming The Fate of the Furious, with Diesel and Johnson refusing to film scenes together, Diesel using his position as producer to cancel some of Johnson’s scenes and Johnson creating a long post on Instagram detailing his frictions with his co-stars on set. With this tension making production difficult and Johnson’s chemistry with Statham being a notable highlight during filming, studio execs just decided to go ahead and separate them by giving Johnson his own spin off. It’s like when two children are bickering over the same toy so their parents just decide to buy a new toy and let them play separately. Though with each new F&F film, it’s strange to think back to 18 years ago when this franchise was just a loose retelling of Point Break following an investigation into some street racers. Now these movies have gotten so big that they’re dealing with a virus which threatens the lives of millions and a genetically enhanced supervillain leading an army of terrorists trying to release the virus on to the world. With Shaw’s sister in possession of the virus and on the run from the terrorists, Hobbs and Shaw team up to save the world with their seemingly superhuman abilities and constant banter. It’s a ridiculous plot, filled with ridiculous action and ridiculous dialogue. But fortunately the cast knows how ridiculous everything is and are able to thrive in it. Johnson and Statham’s chemistry is definitely the main glue which holds the film together and most of the films best moments is just the pair trading insults. They’re both able to let their personalities shine through their performances and deliver on the over the top action sequences which play to their strengths, with Statham precisely striking enemies down whilst Johnson smashes through bad guys like a raging Hulk. They’re also both willing to share the screen without hogging the spotlight leading to a fun team dynamic. Vanessa Kirby is also a great addition, with the film never reverting to her being a damsel in distress and letting her hold her own with the rest of the team. Plus Idris Elba seems to be having the time of his life playing a villain so over the top that he literally introduces himself at the start of the film as being the bad guy.

Beyond the characters, this film has everything that fans have enjoyed about the recent Fast & Furious films. Funny action one-liners like Elba calling himself “black superman” or Johnson saying he’s about to open “an ice cold can of whoop ass”. Action sequences which sees characters perform superhuman feats like Johnson go full Captain America and holding back a helicopter with his bare hands. And the mixture of sprawling settings across the globe and high tech gadgets that give the impression F&F is trying to become an adrenaline filled version of Jame Bond. But the film still has the same drawbacks of the other F&F films too. Whilst Johnson and Statham are great at sharing the screen, they also have contracts that have been drafted so that they can never be the definitive loser of a fight. This causes a lot of the action to be too one sided with sequences lose any potential tension. I wouldn’t be too surprised to learn that the main reason they made Elba a superhuman was just so they would have someone they could both fight against without harming their onscreen reputations. Also as entertaining as these fight sequences can get, they do often go on too long which makes the film feel bloated. Plus whilst there are a few cool long take sequences from Statham who has been performing great action choreography since his days in the Transporter series, a lot of sequences here suffer from the same problem of a lot of modern action movies with the action being obscured by too many fast cuts and too few wide shots. Though when it comes down to it, Hobbs and Shaw is in many ways the ideal spin off. It has everything which people enjoy about the F&F franchise, whilst still being independent by setting up it’s own story separate to the main franchise. And with several surprise cameos clearly setting up a new crew for future films, it’s likely we actually will get 2 Hobbs 2 Shawious sometime soon.

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

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!

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.

I had a good time with this spin-off of the successful Fast and the Furious franchise.

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.

It is satisfyingly funny, for they are technically making fun of the actors and not the characters, the film itself and not the situation.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Leitch and his unflinching promise to the world on breaking down the middle ground between a B grade premise to good filmmaking has left me amazed and happy. And challenging himself, he isn't just diving in on an outdated formula but also on the most frowned upon franchise and to add more troubles, a spin-off. But by now, we should face the facts and acknowledge that he had not just been winging on his luck up till now. The director David Leitch is famous for his signature over-the-top procedure on... basically everything. But is he really stretching things though? I mean we've encountered some pretty obnoxious overflowing embroidery before too, but none of it felt so coherent. None of it made sense. Yes, he is really going over-the-top, the only difference is that he accepts his near madness of spiced up screen with genuinity and frivolity.

Plus, he calculates the characteristics of the characters in numbers. Something that might sound like a head turning idea, but when he jumbles those same things onto the screen, it works. Against all odds, all accusations and flaws, it works. And this is the note where the film leaves me on. Is that it worked. I bought it. All of it. I shouldn't be surprised considering that the franchise, despite it's ups and downs, has managed to stay toe to toe with the political correctness- one of the few films in recent years, that gets the message passed on with a nuanced and effective expression- and expectations of its fandom.

And yet with the same characters, same concept, same world and the same structure of the script, Hobbs And Shaw is unlike the root of the franchise. As in, for a franchise that has evidently and proudly worked so hard on the choreography of the antics- which often is a big stunt or a change in location- Hobbs And Shaw perpetually rejects to nod on those hyped up moments. To be fair, there is tons of pressure to let an entire quarter of a film hinge upon one moment.

And it is also not that they don't try, but knowing that they end up coming with often derivative set pieces, they are leaving the answers blank on the sheet. And as a result the surprise catches you where the film should have actually failed. Justifying the title of the film, they have worked properly on the lead equation of the film. After a thorough homework on what made their relationship so special in The Fate Of The Furious, the makers have given enough reason for the fans to discuss their fights, their stunts, their bickering, their trash talks, their empty threats, and their unsung boyish comfort level that they share.

This film, in fact, the franchise has proved again and again, bringing a new dimension on filmmaking, how and what sort of potential information should they pass on. If a film is art, and commercial film serving the audience that very art wrapped with attractive blingy wallpaper, it is not only safe but smart to know then, what audience really wants; Bravo!

It's a lot of fun, but what a missed opportunity to truly take advantage of Idris, making him one of the great bad guys in action movie history.

The movie is worth seeing for 3 things only: the great chemistry between the two leads (and the super-fun dialog they read); Vanessa Kirby, who is amazing in her part - have we seen her before? ; and 2 extremely funny cameos by actors whoThe movie is worth seeing for 3 things only: the great chemistry between the two leads (and the super-fun dialog they read); Vanessa Kirby, who is amazing in her part - have we seen her before? ; and 2 extremely funny cameos by actors who cannot be named lest I spoil the movie. Idris Elba is essentially wasted - he's robotic and boring. The action sequences are decent, but largely ridiculous. So if you're up for the leads, you won't have a bad time. Just don't expect a great story like the one in Fast 5. Expand

My Review for #FastAndFurious Presents: #HobbsAndShaw:

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.
