Neo

The Fate of the Furious | 4.14.2017

Recommended Posts

I watched Face/Off for the first time a couple years ago and gave it an A. It floored me and I didn't find the doves that stupid. Haven't watched it since though so I don't know if that A holds up.

 

Rock and Con Air are definitely below it, though all 3 are fun and really showcase why the 90s was one of a kind.

John Woo would be a great choice for a Fast and Furious film but I believe he doesn't make Hollywood movies anymore

he's actually not against hollywood movies like people think he is. i know he still talked about doing an american remake of the killer (his best film imo) only a year ago.

I used to watch The Rock hundreds of times. Was my favourite movie when i was 13-16. Its still a fun time though the pathos can be a little bit much.

Con Air is one of the greatest comedys of all time.

Face/Off is incredible stupid but also the culmination of all the 90s action tropes and that makes it great. Plus Travolta/Cage is just utterly entertaining.

Scott Mendelson of Forbes just reported that the overseas opening weekend was actually bigger: $437.2M. Add in the domestic opening of $98.8M and the worldwide opening record is $536M.

 

He also reported that the film reached $599.4M worldwide yesterday. JUST missed 600.

Watched 4-7 yesterday.  The thing that really pisses me off about the fight scenes is that not only does Dom do well against both Hobbs and Deckard, he basically wins both fights.  What an enormous pile of crap.  He's a stree fighter.  Hobbs is a trained fighter.  And Deckard would kill him in about 3 seconds.  The Hobbs fight was entertaining, but the Deckard fight was absurd.

Spoiler

Maybe that's why Dom only fights some no-name guy for five seconds in 8.

 

Said this before, and it'll never happen, but these movies need to move away from Dom. Some of the worst parts of 8 are his parts.

fuck Spin-Off. Start 9 with Dom being killed by the big-bad and just have Hobbs/Deckard be the stars.

 

oh I could deal with that too, but I doubt Vin would kill himself off in his own franchise :P

No. That needed to happen this movie so we could've gotten The F8tality of the Furious. I can't think of euphemisms for death that match with the number 9. And if I can't, then the Universal movie title think tank can't.
