Fast X - Unapologetically Dumb Fun
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- The end of the road begins here. Fast X may be the ultimate example of the big, dumb, fun summer blockbuster. A movie with no message, no politics, no agenda except to entertain. And you know what? I'm okay with that.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see The Critical Drinker review 10 of these movies.
He’s only reviewed 9 & 10 but funny joke tho 😂
Got this comment to 100 likes
Why stop at 10?
Why not 15 or 29 or 100?
Just keep going till their in pimped out mobility scooters.
There are 11 movies
Ah yes I loved his reviews for The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7, and The Fate of the Furious
At this point, the only logical next step for the Fast and Furious films is to crossover with the Transformers franchise.
im glad to hear this sentiment more and more
stop steal comments
Take it back you fool they might hear you!!!
Don't give them anymore ideas this damn franchise needs to die it's so shit
Definitely
This franchise is literally protected by so many layers of irony that it's untouchable
It is like fucking body armour.
Drinker really nailed it when he said "It kows exactly what it is, and will absolutely not apologize for it"
I think that right there is what's missing, people who refuse to apologize. Because that's what the woke bullshit wing is always pestering everyone to do.
Aren't films so much easier to enjoy when they don't take themselves seriously?
It is equivalent of someone calling you a ret@rd and you reply "yes, and?"
F&F is Post-Irony: The franchise
The fact that a Fast & Furious movie gave Brie Larson more room for acting than a main line MCU film says a lot about the state of the MCU
Don't forget that a Lego Movie also gave Brie Larson better material as well as an adorable Unikitty.
She is an Oscar winner for best actress...I don't think she needs to prove her acting skills
@Prasoon Mishra Nowadays all it takes to be recognised as a 'good actor' is ticking boxes
Such as
Being a woman
Being a gay woman
Being a black woman
OR
A BLACK GAT WOMAN.
@@prasoonmishra3462 you always have to prove your acting skills , every performance is a new one . That’s like saying a team or person has won a championship so they Herve have to prove their ability
@@prasoonmishra3462 Oscar winner for acting skills in which movie exactly? And I think most of society doesn't even care about the Oscars anymore, so if you still use the Oscars as your base to tell whether an actor is good at acting then you need to reevaluate that decision because there are many actors across the world who are brilliant and have never won Oscars in the same way there are actors that have won that do not deserve it because they're terrible
TBH I gotta give them some respect for having the kind of diverse cast that would be approved of by "modern audiences" and just letting them be those characters without trotting it out like they deserve a gold star sticker and a cookie for it.
100%
It tends to work better when its never mentioned.
And if you look back at the movies of the last 20 years or so, you'll find a lot of diverse casting that audiences loved. Wesley Snipes as Blade (and in Demolition Man)? Hell, yeah. Ertha Kitt and Halle Berry as Catwoman? Yeah, baby! The activists refused to see that Americans accepted great acting, heroes, villains, and, yes, sex objects regardless of their race, and set out to divide us, or else they would be out of a job. And here we are today.
One of the funniest things I've noticed some time ago is that the 2000's Charlie's Angels was surprisingly more progressive & objectively more fun to watch despite it's campy nature.
That, & Michael Bay unironically made actual strong women, without them being Mary-Sues.
@@BillPeschel And yet we still have White people as the bad guys 99% of time in basically all forms of media. We really haven't progressed. We just are too afraid to not check those boxes. Yeah this Fast and Furious franchise has added some villain's of color. But let's face it, it's not that much.
Race used to be just another dimension to the characters... now, it's the only dimension they have.
It's like in identity politics when gay people base their whole personality about how gay they are.
In breaking bad, I didn't even know Gus Fring was gay until I read comments about that episode with the bartender, and even then I have some doubts. That's how you write a "gay latino" character, you never focus on that single trait and instead give him a real personality. But good characters like this don't get the activists to write "yassss queeen slay!"
My favorite part of Fast 1 is when Paul Walker pulls out a paper map from the glovebox to figure out where the rest of the crew is. Really reminds you how old the series really is... and how old I am.
paper map? why didnt he just ask siri on his iphone 20?
I was just bitching a couple days ago about how no one can read a map anymore. Not even most of the people the same age as I am.
@@toms7114 studies have shown peoples sense of direction has deteriorated something awful
True!! No one even knows wtf a map is anymore. I was just watching the founder and Michael Keaton did the same thing in that movie 😢 makes you feel old indeed
I m 27 , don t remember that , but I did grow up with a bunch of these clownfest movies...how tf are you old at this age ?
"We don't need physic, logic, nor common sense. We have family".
Fast & Furious franchise in a nut shell.
hey, I thought that was the motto of my indian movies... good to know that the fast and furious movies borrowed the same sentiment
And all the right leaning reviews will eat it up as the way to make a good movie 😂
Family > Gravity. 💪🏽😎
How is it possible that a movie is so fun and stupid that even the drinker doesn't have anything bad to say about Brie Larson, and what he said even sounded like a compliment?!?
because he is biais
it´s blatantly obvious they are trying to use this movie as a "decoy" to see if they can make Brie Larson more likable and "reboot" her .
the film itselft is garbage and with momoa turned into "rain-bow fashion barbie doll" it is another franchise fallen victim to pushing the "message"
(they are trying to be cool and more "settle" about it in this one but it is blatantly clear what they are up to) .
the fact that momoa is a terrible actor who should not be given more than 2-3 one-liners in any movie he is in does not help either .
i used to like switching off my brain with Fast and furious franchise and enjoy it but they are too far gone now .
fast 4 and 5 was the peak of this franchise (in terms of turning off your brain and having fun , and also maybe feel some emotions along the way) .
i was a teenager when the first 3 movies came out and i feel certain nostalgia while watching them but this has nothing to do with the originals anymore .
this franchise should have ended with the 7-th movie .
@@darkglobe406 cool it with the conspiracy bullshit.
Brie Larson in this movie is how Captain Marvel should’ve been tbh
@@rusty7984 nah she is still annoying AF .
she was decent in earlier stages of her career but she has turned into obnoxious character both on and of the screen .
You know somethings wrong with the state of cinema when the Fast and the Furious hitting 10 movies goes from being a joke about cash cows to being a heartwarming and wholseome experience
So it was actually good?
Better than what we usually get nowadays, I’d say
@@globalnationalismyoutube idk I haven't seen it personally but considering I expected the Drinker to lampoon on it and he actually spoke positively on it, it probably turned out decent
@@globalnationalismyoutube No. But it can be fun if you're into that sort of thing.
@@globalnationalismyoutube In my opinion it was a terrible movie in majority of the aspects aside from the soundtrack but there are rarely some decent moments.I Personally hate all of the movies that came after f7 but felt this one was better than the last few

Take my upvote dammit!
It's so wholesome to hear Drinker so happy about a movie and even the Brie Larson got a thumbs up.
Brie Larson not being completely insufferable was the most shocking part.

@@dannyknightblade4592 when brie doesn’t have sjw writers on her ass she’s actually a very good actress and a chill person

I liked the part in the after credits of Dominic confronting Optimus Prime and Prime asked “Dom, We need a team..” and Dom replied, “No we need a family.” My theater went crazy!
I can't tell if you are joking or not which is funny.
I farted after hearing that!
😂😂😂😂😂 you wrong for this
Man, don't tease us like that! 😂😂😂
So Fast X is where we get portrayal of family values now.
Finally, I knew the Drinker would understand what this Franchise is all about!
Mindless, action driven, testosterone filled FUN! Nothing else!
idk this is silly fun, like pro wrestling, but i wouldnt call it testosterone filled. maybe trenbolone filled
@@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 TOBLERONE FILLED?!! Mmmmmm
@@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 Nothing about pro wrestling is silly. Only people who never actively watched it say something like that. I like the Opera, the Theatre AND pro wrestling. All 3 are real live performances of different genres. Opera - Musical movie ... Theater - Drama movie ... pro wrestling - action movie.
Its ok if you dont like action movies, or drama movies, or musicals... but to call any genre silly just shows that you have a pretty limited perspective on art and entertainment.
Me and my wife started watching these movies during the pandemic. It was so hard to not binge watch them all at once. It's a shame Marvel's catalog won't age nearly as well.
@Smido83 Calling a genre silly is just their opinion, if they think they are silly then so be it. You can't complain about perspective on entertainment and then btch and demand someone else to accept all sorts of entertainment without limit.
Fun fact: when filming for F&F X in Lisbon (Portugal), many cars on set were actually robbed of their catalisors by the infamous "Catalisor King" in Lisbon, who was just set on parole.
I'm not making this up, I'm portuguese, and this was all over the newspapers that day.
Isn't that just delightfully meta on many levels.

@@lochlannach7 the new one looks good and it’s not Michael bay
Whenever someone says “how has it gone from street racing to fighting world dominating villains?” I describe this franchise as a Dungeons and Dragon session that has gone on for 10 years with the same characters. Start off fighting bandits and by the end you are slaying Gods.
Isn't that just every Japanese RPG game tho? Lol
Which is very fitting becuase Vin Diesel loves DnD so much, he has his character name tattooed on him. He also wanted F&F to have "a mythology" like Riddick did.
20 years
Also reminds of World of Warcraft. They seemed to have countered the trend a bit with Dragonflight, though. Not that it matters.
You should spell gods with a small g.
Tokyo Drift is quite literally and unironically the best FF movie. It's actually about racing and the whole premise and setting is awesome.
Yep
That and the first movie will always be my favourites to revisit. I haven’t watched anything after the 7th
Everyone just hated on it cuz Vin Diesel wasn't the star when it came out, and it's gotten a bad rap ever since. Didn't help that Lil Bow Wow was in it and that the actual star was pretty bad as well. They're honestly my only 2 gripes with the movie. It's easily my favorite, tho. Most car guys like Tokyo Drift the best
Eh, I'd argue that Tokyo Drift still felt like a missed potential. As I feel the movie would have benefited coming around the time of Fast and Furious 6, and keep the focus more on Han.
And the main girl on it is....wow ❤
From stealing DVD players to shooting a car into space.
Bless you, Fast and Furious franchise. Thank you for being over the top and making people have fun.
Nah should have stuck with Grounded stunts and whatnot. Screw that going to space shit.
@@SirRorschachJack Yeah it was dumb as shit and I had to forcefully shut my brain off during just about the entire movie. But it was still visually entertaining. They could have made it more believable but I guess they didnt take the time to set it up correctly. The big mistake I think was that they somehow gathered all the resources to shoot a car into space and we got to see none of it in the movie. They just successfully did it all of a sudden.
DVD players? Weren't they VCRs?
@@SirRorschachJack this franchise would definitely NOT survive as long as it did if it only focused on street races and "grounded stunts"
It does feel nice when scenes fall on grounded and realistic concepts but I also don’t mind if things are over the top and unrealistic because end of the day movies are not real, they’re just set pieces made to give entertainment and a form of escape for all of us. But yeah I do understand being more realistic and unrealistic has its pros and cons.
Jason Momoa is unironically the best part of the movie. The guy was having the time of his life and absolutely stole every scene he was in.
Dude looking like jack sparrow 🤣
@@stansb37 Mix of Jack Sparrow and Sam Hyde. Its beautiful.
@@BobbyWanKenobi 😂 for reals
@@BobbyWanKenobi i didnt see sam hyde until you mentioned it lmao
He has to do nothing, just be himself
The cast constantly seeming comfortable with each other and that helps make the OTT-stunts and the paper-thin plot workable. So its fun for the team and fun for the viewer - just like in days of yore and totally different from the ideological clap-trap of so many modern franchises.
There are definitely times when you have to push the "I believe" button. Dom's charger got absolutely destroyed about a half dozen times in this movie and still came out of it with some dents and scratched up paint job until the very end.
We really went through the 5 stages of grief throughout this franchise didn't we
underrated comment
This needs more likes
holy shit youre right we actually legit went through all of the 5 stages completely
actually accurate. i went from liking the first few movies, then not liking how they were seemingly milking the franchise into the ground and making the sequels less about racing and just dumb over the top action flicks, now i accept how honest it is about how its just over the top action.
500th like
The Fast and Furious movies are like late night fast food, it's not objectively great food, but at the right time, it hits the spot nicely.
I disagree. At least you can finish fast food in 10-15 mins.
And they both leave you with an upset stomach and a burning ring of fire.
and you're a tubgirl.jpg afterwards.
And paired with a joint, it’s practically the capital grill
Especially when the other stuff can be described as moldy stale bread if we continue this food analogy
Still no clue how a franchise that started as a goofy 2000s movie about illegal street racing turned into Diet Marvel
Same here.

Not as trash as marvel
Family
They had lives before this
Love how the franchise is clearly Vin Diesel and friends having fun with a budget.
You know the movie industry is FUBAR when the Drinker is starting to appreciate the Fast series.
Or not. Movies are created to serve multiple moments or emotions. Sometimes movie fans want hamburger and sometimes we want filet mignon on our screens. As long as it's prepared right, it's all good to me.
And as drinker points out, my movie tastes are evolving also. Big, loud, dumb and fun is getting more attractive to my tastes as artsy, important, "adult" movies are losing interest to me.
Ok, Nos Q, that was funny! 🙂

To think Fast X is the movie that gets you to complement Brie Larson is pretty damn amusing
Charlize "I'll F- Anyone Up" Teron is in this, though... No, thanks.
Plank did good
@@Snipe942 she went from plank the robot in the film.
“…As comfortable with a gun as a feminist in a strip club” 😂😂😂
@@redacted2275 I'm okay with that from Charlize, when I'm not from most actors or actresses. The difference is she'll take the hits. When an actor or actress is willing to do stunts that put them in the hospital for a month and then show up to do them again they get a pass. She continues to do most of her own stunts after having broken bones and spending a time being immobile in traction for weeks from a broken neck from a stunt. She gets to talk crap. I don't care if it's a male or female, if they're willing to go through all that they get to talk a game. They earned it. In this series... The Rock and Jason Stathum are legitimate action stars who do stunts. They don't do the type of stunts she has in the past. She gets to talk down to them. It's one of those things. Noone can say boo to Tom Cruise or Jackie Chan, not because they are guys. Because they are willing to do what they did and noone else was. Another woman... Michelle Yeoh really did ride a motorcycle on top of a moving train and lose it, she gets to say stuff to people unwilling to even try to do it.
Fast and furious is almost like fantasy anime for people into cars. Instead of power of friendship we have family, bad guys sometimes gets converted into friends, ridiculous action scenes and car magic. As dumb as it is it's kind of entertaining.
Vin Diesel is a DBZ fan and it shows
Getting close to a live-action Redline
These movies are also huge outside of the west, where everyone takes everything so seriously. Turns out in the harsh rest of the world, the people just wants entertainment out of the entertainment.
The Fast series is the ultimate example of fun to watch escapism movies ! Thankful they never forgot who their audience is :)
I love the part when Vin Diesel said : "Its familying time" and familied all over Jason Mamoa. Truly a movie of the century
.
Edit : damn some people are just mad about a dead meme, get some btches yall
I loved when I said "It's UA-cam comment time" and then posted UA-cam comment all over UA-cam and everyone clapped around the planet and it was truly one of the things that ever happened.

Jason momoa was so good in this because he embodies what the franchise is : over the top, ridiculous and entertaining.
It forced Jason out of his comfort zone and he pulled it off.
Jason Momoa is the best part of the movie, dude was absolutely chewing the scenery in every single scene he was in and you could tell the man was having more fun with his performance than anyone else in the whole ridiculous movie! He was a weirdo in the best way and an all-time best Fast & Furious franchise villain!
Agreed 100%. Momoa was awesome here.
Maybe he’s just grateful to not work alongside Ms. My Dog Stepped On A Bee- I can only imagine that shitshow.
and because it's F & F he'll be back in the next movie as part of the family.
When I saw him in the trailer I thought ffs, and I've never watched any film with him in, tbh, as you said, he is the best part.
@@L8ugh1ngm8n1 he’s the perfect “cool uncle” kinda guy
Fast and Furious is what Sharknado could have been with a higher budget. Once you accept that; you’re in for a good time. Carfu is the strongest martial art/superhero ability to ever grace the screen.
Basically, a-turns-your-brain-off moment for this movie, as some would say, but for dumb fun 😅
The city is nearly destroyed. Most of the citizens evacuated but casualties inevitably large nonetheless. As we look into the distance, we see Godzilla begin to resonate with a familiar glow. He charges his beam directly at Dominic Toretto and his new charger set on top of one of the tallest buildings in Japan. Torettos eyes locked, he watches with his hand on the nos button as the energy builds up throughout godzillas body, it’s power resonating through the air with a clear peak in sight. Suddenly with force great enough to level cities, the beam from godzillas mouth is unleashed. Toretto looks on and says with a familiar grin “too soon” and activated his nos, avoiding the beam and jumping off the building. He crashes into a hot air balloon that happens to be flying by and his wheel catches onto the ropes hanging from the ballon causing his car to swing around in the air towards the direction of Godzilla. The trailer fades to black as Torettos car is about to collide with Godzilla while Godzilla roars in Terror. Coming soon
"Weird love child of Jack Sparrow and the Joker" Yes! That's exactly how it felt! This is the perfect description of his character in the movie. Thank you for finding the words!
Fast X is the type of movie that you can watch completely sombre, without any intoxication whatsoever, and you’ll still leave the theatre high as sh’t.
I don’t really know how to explain this phenomenon.
Although credit where’s its due, the scene in Rome was kinda creative. It’s like the filmmakers said let’s make a Hot Wheels track out of a pinball machine.
I think brain storming sessions would be fun to watch. XD
"let’s make a Hot Wheels track out of a pinball machine" 😂
Thats by far the best description I've heared so far for that Action szene! Just perfect!
@@Smido83agreed 😂
Vin Diesel unironically being upset that the F&F-franchise have never been nominated for an Oscar, is something that brings me joy everyday. It's such a beautiful form of delusion. The fact that he actually believes he's making great films is genuinely inspiring. If you like what you do and are proud of your work, you will always feel accomplished and it won't matter if people are laughing at you behind your back.
Wut? Seriously? I’m guessing he’s never sat down to watch one of these flicks.
I mean, they’re great fun, in an ‘okay you cannot do that with a car no matter how hard you try’ kind of way- just suspend realistic beliefs for about 120 minutes and it’s actually decent films with no realistic expectations going in and you’ll come out pretty pleased.
Maybe it’s all the nitrous fumes he’s huffed in the last few decades.
I somewhat sympathize with him, solely because I think F&F is more kino than something like Black Panther.
The one thing he has though with F&F franchise is, years later people still know them, watch them and enjoy them. All while most Oscar winning films are barely remembered. He should embrace that instead of hoping for acknowledgement from the stuck up twats of the Academy.
They are inspiring and I can tell you right now, I don't know or have ever seen 90% of that crap they give Oscars for. I'd rather see Fast and the Furious franchise get it then ...Wakanda Forever, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, West Side Story (like that was something to re-awarded), Tenet, and others. I mean I have re watched, enjoyed, and took more lessons on the importance of the people around me and how people who are your real family would act and fight for you from F and F than the one time I watched the Oscar winning Suicide Squad, yes the 2016 one. If the aforementioned crap above can get one, then F and F should most certainly have one by now.
The oscars is pretentious
I actually liked Tokyo Drift. It was different, nicely filmed and fun.
@thoth81 Street racing is pretty cool when it's not being ruined by criminals and media demonisation.
I still feel that in the original sense of the movies it is the strongest entry, it just went on a very diffrent direction from what the 2 previous were going and where the next one was headed
Straight facts!!🔥💯
I really don't see any bad things about this movie
That movie 🎥 sucked
I think the franchise should’ve ended after Furious 7. It would’ve been a strong ending with respect to Paul Walker and everything.
Exactly! Loved 7! Ending was perfect. But looks like it made millions so the studio couldn't let it go. More movies more money for them
In fast X, it's revealed that the franchise DID end after fast 7 and everything afterwards has just been in vin diesels head. kicking nuclear torpedoes? driving in space? all the delusions of a madman. vin diesels character had a breakdown after walker died.
Should have ended with the original. 😂
@@dang75790 Hilarious and Original Comment Detected.
Just commenting here to say best freaking username ever! Alucardo Malvados y Asociados! XD
I think the big difference between the fast and furious franchise and so many other modern movies is that the fast and furious franchise is not pretentious. They don't even make any attempt to appear clever or even just make sense. They know that every non-action scene is essentially just filler to get to the next action scene and the plot is just a thin excuse to loosely link the action scenes together in a way that kind of makes some little sense. And they don't pretend it's any other way.
i nice to see a movie that has cool cars explosions lots of guns and hawt chicks without shaming us for being entertained by them :)
There was once a time when the Fast and Furious franchise was kind of serious...and then they made a sequel. Critics everywhere called it dumb, stupid, and ridiculous, but the fans loved how fun it was.
And so the creators decided to see just how dumb, stupid, ridiculous, and FUN they could make it.
I salute people who make movies for the critics. I never watch those movies, but I salute em who make em.
The curious thing is that "2Fast 2Furious" now looks way more serious than the last few entries in the franchise. Roman was an actual character instead of a eternal comic relief and I still consider the warehouse scene one of the Top 10 moments of the saga. As a guy who likes cars and don't drink a lot, I don't have the Drinker's ability to kill my brain cells in order to watch the films in the post-Walker phase.
We are on the verge of Idiocracy. Next the Critical Drinker will review the Butt film and give it high regards as a fun film that you can turn your brain off and enjoy.

@@ScottCleve33 Oh no, people are enjoying a movie that was made purely for action and enjoyment, how terrible
The weird thing about the fast and furious movies is that you can watch any movie in the series and never watch any of the previous movies and you’ll still understand everything that is going on.
There are a few subplots that last for two movies.
I think one of the most admirable qualities of these films is that they are fun... consistently. After so many movies obviously they had some misteps and dips... but they were always fun. It's a series where everyone is on the same page about what it's trying to be and even if it's not objectively good quality... there is a very good quality in consistently delivering exactly what you try to do. rather than haughty directors trying to "subvert" your expectations with sub-optimal results, these guys are meeting your expectations. It's like a friend whose not the funniest, smartest, or most entertaining guy to be around, but he never flakes on your invites, he always shows up when you need help with something, and he never mistreats you or talks behind your back. It's that dependability that endears people to this franchise.

@@editingsecrets exactly!
I think I watched up until the 5th & never touched the franchise again. Even for rewatches.
These are also spectacles that are so much better in the cinema, they are literally keeping the cinema experience alive with booming sound and massive screens, they simply don't work on the small screen. Working in a media shop I can tell you nobody bought Fast movies on disk, just like nobody bought Avatar, yet as movies in the movie business they are extremely important in keeping cinemas open, the summer fun spectacle is very important in movie history.
Honestly they're a complete snooze fest. Haven't had genuine fun watching a FF movie in years. FF used to be enjoyed for the vibe, now they're only good for shiny poster material and nothing else. The old ones still bring joy, new ones are just soulless cashgrabs
I was reading a list of feats and powers Dom has displayed through the movies. I completely forgot Dom got the ability to see the past perfectly by looking at some tire marks ok the ground and then never used it again.
You don't need to see in the past when you got Family
I have a feeling that once they conclude this last trilogy, they'll do a reboot with Dom's kid and every other kid from the "family" and start fresh from street racing again. I'd watch that.
I- Isnt' that just what Boruto is? Oh my god, this is really is just an anime, isn't it? That's beautiful.
the prologue opens with them street racing souped up power wheels cars from the 80's.
Theres a cartoon similar to that, thats in the Fast N Furious universe.
If it’s something on the level of the first or third movie, im in. Just simple street racing without all the crazy saving the world drama
"big bald guys growling lines in something which could be vaguely described as English" - I really laughed out loud!
The series has been going on so long my son grew up into a huge fan, and now we share this nonsense together even though he is now grown up. It gave me an excuse to introduce him to the original Point Break, and that led to watching many of the best classics of the 1980's and 1990's. No matter how dumb or silly it gets, I am thankful for movies like this.
The original Point Break, the one that started it all. ❤️
I dream of having that kind of life with my kids. You're living the dream, good sir.
This is the best comment I've read in a while, maybe the best example that justifies these movies.
F&F makes every cheesy 80's action movies looks realistic. I'm grateful for that.
And when you watch a proper car movies like The Driver (1978), The Duel (1971) or
Vanishing Point (1971) - you realize that the whole FF franchise is just a bad and unfunny joke.
It’s still crazy to think that in all the post 7 movies, Brian is just chilling

I seem to be in the minority, but I actually enjoyed when this franchise was about street racing. I haven't even seen the last 3 movies of this franchise.

Any movie without “the message” feels satisfying to watch these days
This movie franchise is perfect example of the diversity is the outcome, not goal. This is ironically one of the most diverse casting lists in all of modern movies and you would never know it.

Can anyone advise me then on which movie can turn me trans and remove my white guilt and lust for women whilst working 60 hours a week? Did I mention steak?
Jason Samosa was literally playing a trans-woman.
momoas character is the embodiment of the "message" in this case my friend .
The drinker, your philosophical take on this movie was much more impactful than you might expect, thank you for it
Hearing Drinker say no one ever really dies in these movies hurt my soul just a bit.
Rest In Peace Mr. Walker. Rest In Peace
I remember the original Fast and the Furious where it was a simple street racing/heist/undercover movie that worked.
Yep, the original fans lose in this situation
Your reviews are among THE best written AND entertainingly delivered of almost all the other reviewers - and most all the other UA-cam channel presenters - irrespective of their subject matter or flavor of the day they are purveying.
I attribute that to the following:
1. You are an excellent writer - as evidenced by your novels - which, I confess I have yet to experience the undoubtedly wonderful pleasures of high drama, derring do and adroit meanderings into the world of literature and words - that they must hold, portend.
2. Your vocal gymnastics, Scottish accent and delivery make it impossible to ignore what you say.
3. Your perspective is - at least in my humble opinion - because you almost always agree with me and thus obviously have an intellect of the highest quality - is spot on and a nice cathartic; a powerful cleanser of the palate - in the face of so much that is distasteful in movie land and basically falls under the heading - of pure shyte!
LOL - Don't stop - whatever you are doing - it is working!

I still say fast and the furious: tokyo drift was a excellent movie. Real cars and real stunts! And some of the driving was amazing....
The first three movies also Tokyo drift, was the best the rest is utter dogshit.
Car dudes like the first 3. Marvel/Transformers fans like the rest.
It was boring as hell
@@ThatisnotHair its literally a movie about street racing. sorry your attention span got destroyed with the fast and furious franchise
Tokyo drift was aight but I respect because if it hadn’t happened, we wouldn’t be on 10. 8 and 9 were terrible. 4-5-6 is the best trilogy

I just like to think that the actor who played Jessie in the first film is sitting by the phone waiting to hear from his agent that his character actually survived being machine gunned and has been planning his revenge for the past 20 years and will return in Fast & The Furiest 15.
Watching F&F franchise is just like playing a game with all cheat codes unlocked, it still follow the story narratively, but still having fun with the amount of ridiculous things activated from cheat codes along the way 😁
The Fast and Furious movies used to be a guilty pleasure of mine. Now, there is no more "guilty" qualifier. In this clown world we live in, these movies are a breath of fresh air, and I didn't realize how badly I was gasping...
It's just plain MIND-BLOWING how much these films have actually... well, pretty much DEFIED the shifting cinematic landscape by just being and doing their own thing the whole time, all while not falling into the "woke" trap in particular. What's even MORE mind boggling is that it turned out for the best that they kept that way in the long run.
Fast X was progressive woke trash (in comparison to its past), but since its not Lord of the Ring or Star wars or some comic book adaptation, all the boomer fu cks have no issues as to how they have wokified this franchise
What's the definition of woke to you? Anything you don't like?
@@Astro2024 anything thats emasculating a previously masculine franchise
you should know, youre completely emasculated
It’s had a diverse cast since day one and always felt genuine
@@elbowjuice2627 yeah diverse, but it was a male centric franchise, where men do most of the fighting and driving
Fast X is a female centric movie
“Taking revenge for the death of your father isn’t exactly a complex motivation, but what the fuck, its not like we’re talking Shakespeare here.”
I have one word for you, Hamlet.
Thanks captain obvious…somebody isn’t familiar with irony it seems.
The plot surprise of having someone who was previously thought to be dead coming back bigger and badder than ever was a staple of the comic book genre in 60's and beyond. Similar techniques were also used because the more you could bend and twist reality to make the heroes look even better for conquering the bad guys made them a billion times cooler than before. I can't even count the number of times as a kid when I thought Spiderman was finished and would be replaced. It blew my mind how a hero with no armor or weapons could fight baddies with all the cool high tech killing gear and come out victorious. Made me love him even more! The Fast franchise is doing the same thing. The original Star Wars did it too.
I unironically love how dumb these movies are. I agree with "sometimes dumb is fun" and this to me feels like those old dumb 90's early 2000's movies I used to love as a teen. Sure takes me back to better time...
You should try the Butt movie. They loved it in Idiocracy.
@@ScottCleve33 Doesn't sound interesting to me.
Drinker, so cool you praise Ms. Larsen here! You are a class act and a good sport, being fair to her even though she was not kind to Marvel fans. Great video and critique as always. R.i.P. Paul Walker.
She might be an arrogant and out-of-touch Hollywood airhead, but I wouldn't say she's bad at acting. Though you wouldn't know it from watching the MCU... 🤷♂️
@@JohnGardnerAlhadis As I remember it, she was pretty good in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and Kong Skull Island.
When was she exactly not nice to Marvel fans?
@@fielalmanga When she said she didnt want any white, straight men watching her first movie.
@Fiel Manga she said there should be more diverse in critic panel for the movie A Wrinkle In Time.
But some incels heard "I hate white dudes."
Growing I used to love these movies because I saw them as the live action version of the Need For Speed games we used to play on our computers. For a boy, what's not to like, fast cars, races, girls. It was just mindless fun.
I also used to have a major crush on Dom's sister.
Honestly, I've ditched this franchise a long time ago - and I mean a LONG time ago.
But watching the footage made in my local freeway (the A24) here in Portugal, which I crossed countless times and runs right besides me, not gonna lie, is satisfacting AF. 🇵🇹
3:26 "Because there's always a long lost son or a brother or a daughter or a fucking pet alligator ready to replace the previous bad guy."
Me imagining a whole movie where the plot is just a alligator wants revenge for killing it's Master. It would probably only work as a Disney animated type thing.
I said my goodbyes to the F&F "franchise" after Paul Walker, but seeing it devolve into the car equivalent of Sharknado was... something
Legit the funniest comedy I’ve seen in ages. Had me laughing throughout the runtime. 10/10 would recommend 😂😂😂
Drinker, you NAILED IT with Mamoa's performance being the love child of Jack Sparrow and The Joker. I said that same thing during the movie.🤣🤣🤣
*CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
@@theunknowncommenter725*okay, Karen
I will never get over the fact that they didn't call the movie "Fasten your seatbelts"
The true hidden title lmao
Or FX, just to create fighting with the actual TV channel....
I'm so happy for Ritchson. The guy so deserves the stardom.
Very happy for him dude is here since "Blue Mountain State" and only start to be know now
I was asking myself who that guy was… first time i saw him in anything
I remember him in Blue Mountain State and Hunger Games Catching Fire. I'm glad he's been doing an image reinvention with Reacher and now this one.
I loved the part where John Wick says to Dom, "I'm gonna need a gun," and Dom replies with "I'm gonna need a family."
BEST moment of the John Wick Furious Franchise.
I really respect that as a film critic you can appreciate cinema in all its forms. Like a restaurant critic who can enjoy a roadside burger shack with equal ease and a michelin star restaurant. You take them as they are and tell us how well they met their goals. Thank you.
Still hoping that Drinker will start to watch and review more anime films someday.
oh please,he still ain't gonna appreciate any kaiju movies anytime soon. guess he only gives that benefit to movies with humans as main characters.
I'm convinced Dom is the Borg Queen and "family" is the Collective. Just assimilating more and more people and never ending.
Dom is basically Goku, he turns most of all the bad guys into good guys 😂😂
Cool review. Never thought I'd ever hear Drinker say that Brie Larson did a good job acting. He may be a drunk but at least he has more honesty and integrity than any other film critic does.
Fast and the Furious and Mission Impossible are the last two legacy action holdouts that still are going strong after years of woke destruction that ravaged Hollywood I never really want to see them end honestly
Fast X was progressive woke trash (in comparison to its past), but since its not Lord of the Ring or Star wars or some comic book adaptation, all the boomer fu cks have no issues as to how they have wokified this franchise
Well, at least Mission Impossible has Tom Cruise in charge and he makes sure that the action, the stunts and the special effect are not dull and forgettable even though most of the stories almost the same. Also, it's a spy movie just like James Bond where the stories almost the same but it's still going for many years. And Tom Cruise
While FF franchise look like they play Wheel of Fortune to know what kind of plot they have to go with and the only one who take it seriously is only Vin Diesel.
@@margarethmichelina5146the new mission impossible looks like a John wick film with Tom cruise style stunts and I’m not complaining
And transformers
@@Daveluvutube Course, time will tell if they stick to two movies for it's conclusion or try to stretch out a 3rd, which I worry for with Fast X since it seems there isn't much material to work with for a 3rd movie, but by god, I bet they will try.
I totally agree with the drinker when he said nowadays we are not often excited about movies before they come out and wonder what they’ve done to our favorite characters to fit ‘the narrative’.
It the invasion of anti fun critic twats into mainstream media. Before you just ignored signalling critics as they gave every entertainment property that wasn't Oscar bait bad scores in their little feifdom magazines and newspapers. Now they fill up review aggregate sites feeling more empowered than ever, whilst the audience scores shows they are more disconnected from real audiences and reality than ever. Hollywoke stopped chasing audience and started chasing media awards and ESG score by scoring virtue signalling points and the mainstream media caballed together to repeat the same mantra and silence opposition.
I’m not surprised Fast X is a hit in CHina, guess having John Cena bend over forward for them helped 😂
Haven't watched it yet, but your description sounds like Fast X is kinda like a Bollywood serial but made with a Hollywood level budget.
Pretty intriguing👍🏻
Jason Momoa at least was having a blast of being a villain.
yeah, and he got to choose his own car, which probably helped make it even more fun
I think Dom’s Chargers are made out of the same material as John Wick’s suits. They’re fricking indestructible.
Honestly, at this point I’m convinced, Dom and his Family-Powered Charger can take on the Avengers and win.
Dom and his charger would be a pretty funny cameo in a marvel film. Big action fight happening between heroes and villians and you just see dom race by nodding slowly and saying, "Family" as he takes out a henchman out of frame never to be seen or acknowledged.
Dom and his family were the only people that didn't lose anyone when Thanos snapped his fingers.
Oh you will find their will equal to the Avengers.
Haha essentially a superhero movie; everyone is kick ass and basically invincible....still fast, fun and ticks all the right caveman boxes. Another great review. Thanks.
I love how Roman becomes self-aware at some point in the franchise and starts questioning how they keep surviving the most unreal shit everytime
and so we get more idiotic blockbusters
maybe Expendables will come back too. always fun to see the gang back together.
@@chancepaladin I believe the 4th one is indeed coming out this year
The Fast movies are refreshing for the same reason top gun maverick, avatar 2, John wick and most recently Sisu were such a breath of fresh air: the complete lack of cynicism and the fact that they actually respect their audience. Now I wouldn’t say fast & furious are anywhere near as good as the other films I named but it’s nice having a film franchise like it that’s dumb for its own sake rather than dumb due to a lack of care and actually lets it’s heroes be heroes and aspirational for once.
Which honestly, thinking about that is kinda depressing
I love how you replaced the "don't know" catchphrase with "don't care". It really sets the tone for the review.
Been watching these in cinemas with my brother for the past few years since F8. Some of the most fun I've had in a cinema. Can't help but laugh at the stupid set pieces, dialogue and implausible action. Too good!
I'm extremely happy the Fast and Furious franchise managed to understand what their movies are about and embrace it. I saw it in theaters last night and had an absolute BLAST. From Jason Momoa stealing the show, to the over the top action sequences that make little to no sense but you love to see anyways, it makes me excited for the next film so that way they can repeat it all over again
I finally got won over when I saw the Rock shove a fucking torpedo while hanging out of a car. I was like, "oh...they definitely know what movie they're making." 😂
Exactly this. These movies are the definition of "shut your brain off and just enjoy it". Everyone I know says "Wow those movies are so dumb.." but they enjoy watching them anyway. They're right. They are dumb. And they're fun because they're dumb. Even 9. When they turned the Fiero into a space shuttle I was dying. Because everyone - EVERYONE - in the car community who's ever seen a Pontiac Fiero has, at some point, said "Wow it looks like a little space shuttle..."
They KNOW their audience and that's why they're so great.
One thing I noticed about the Fast and Furious films, is that they do car stunts well. They may not make scientific sense, but they look great. I remember after the un-numbered chapter, that kinda relaunched the series, there was a James Bond film and a Die Hard film, that tried to have an over the top chase scene. I remember thinking that even though the films were supposed to be more serious, the car stunts didn't seem nearly as entertaining. In fact, the chase scenes in both cases seemed tacked on. F&F is a good example of doing one thing well. Also, the main cast has charm. They are enjoyable to watch. This the subversion of expectation, that I don't mind - taunting your logical brain, after it has been turned off & showing you how much they can outdo themselves from the last movie. They reward you for turning off your brain.
F&F uses tons of CGI in their car action sequences. Bond and Die Hard almost avoids them to a fault. Traditional car stunts just can't hold up without a ton of pyrotechnics/CGI and we've becoming acclimated to the spectacle they provide.
It was actually good. A step up from the previous installment. it feels good to see a film where every character is equally epic
2bad they split the movie in 2 parts tho :D
I call bullshit.
Roman was epic to you? Huh?
Han's group really didn't get to do much though. Thought they are gonna jump out of the plane with cars but guess they are saving it for part 2.
@@shawklan27 roman's character being stupid as hell is still epic at the end of the day
At least Fast & Furious doesn't push for agendas.
At least they know their audience and don't throw them away for new ones.
At least Fast & Furious can still be fun.
Something I constantly try to tell people is that movies don't always have to be a cinematic masterpiece that'll change your life.
Sometimes, it's okay to simply watch a dumb and fun movie for pure entertainment and have a good time with it.
I feel you, man.
I miss stuff that was just dumb fun.
@@kingsleywelch3360 I mean, if the purpose of this industry was to entertain people, *surely* it would be given a name like "the entertainment industry", wouldn't it? (Oh wait...)
@@JohnGardnerAlhadis👏
This was to dumb
Absolutely perfect way to sum it all up. My younger brother, this was his star wars, etc. I'm 54, he would have been 45 in August ( passed in '21), and we went every opening weekend for these and the marvel movies start in 2008 . Saw the last 2 alone in honor of him. It's ridiculous fun, but who cares. Not looking for Citizen Kane here, just hot chick's, cool cars and fun. Great review!
Fast and Furious is actually the only franchise that unintentionally made a hugely diverse cast without being obnoxious about it.
Damn. That's a good point.
Well, except F9….
A movie that's a nice reminder of how fun Hollywood used to be. I love it. I watch the Expendables for all the same reasons. Kinda bummed out they didn't call it 'Fast-ten your seatbelts' tho.
Fasten your seatbelts, family. It's gonna be a long drive...
Cue: Over-The-Top Action.
Fast X was progressive woke trash (in comparison to its past), but since its not Lord of the Ring or Star wars or some comic book adaptation, all the boomer fu cks have no issues as to how they have wokified this franchise
I loved it! I keep saying these movies are actual examples of real “diverse” casts where they actually deliver fun action and not social justice lectures.
cLeOpAtRa WaS bLaCk-random grandma Netflix borrowed from the streets.
People might hate the fast franchise but it's one of the only franchises that doesn't need to represent modern audiences.
I have yet to watch a movie that lectured anything. I recently watched Mario, John Wick, Thor 4, Shazam 2, Guardians 3, etc. no lectures in any of those. You can argue bad writing for Thor 4 and others but no lectures. Many super fragile these days.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608 The actual problem at times for people on the "we're not snowflakes" side, is that at times they don't realise they have confirmation bias so they end up looking for it. I'd say the only confusing film I watched recently with that stuff was Lightyear.
@@MrGlostuber I agree. Light year was confusing with bad writing but there was no lecture. Maybe the actors are saying things but nothing in the movie reflects their statements.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608 For me I felt the two mums with a child was a bit unneeded.
Just saw this in cinema today and was literally clapping my hands everytime Jason Momoa came onscreen. He was nuts and funny as hell and I just wanted him to kill everyone in the most insane ways.
Its odd seeing Jason Mamoa as a villain but considering how it looked he played his role, he could end up as a modern age Raul Julia (M Bison) or Tim Curry. I do miss the old 90s over the top scene chewing villains, usually the best part of even bad movies.
OF COURSE!
