Huh. They kind of alluded that a future one would do that.
Meh, at this point whatever. IMHO these are all surprisingly fun. Didn't super dig "Hobbes and Shaw" though. That did a little bit too much.

Watched all 8 movies last week.
The most amusing thing was slow transformation of the series from mediocre criminal drama about street racers to batshit insane CGI fest G.I.Joe meets Missions: Impossible thing. |

Yeah, it actually blows my mind what this franchise has become. Nobody could have predicted in the early 2000's what it'd turn into, let alone have 9+ sequels and spinoffs.

So they finally let Helen Mirren drive. That was like her first requirement when she signed onto all of these but they hadn't let her yet.

2nd trailer. Kind of... gives away too much, unnecessarily, IMO.

This clearly shows where all those Hollywood "Social Justice Warriors" stand.
They only can deal with random people and "has beens" who don't want to follow "party line", but as soon as there is a prospect of a conflict with someone who can **** on them back, like Western Taiwan, they **** themselves and turn into obedient slugs. And this ****s think they can dictate others "how to live their lives", lol. |

Saw it. Decent. Not as fun as 8, but it felt more like a "real movie" than it. Justin Lin definitely knows how to shoot action better than anyone else in the franchise.
I don't like people coming back from the dead in something like this and the Han explanation, while checking the right boxes to exonerate Shaw and tell us how everything we saw was "true"... it's still pretty messy. The trip to space by Roman and Tej probably got the biggest reactions from the audience.

It's interesting, it seems that this is what Vin Diesel wanted to have "his" franchise and thought XXX and Chronicles of Riddick were going to be the "franchise" that made him huge. But he never found it, and without diesel FF died with the second movie and was forced to go to direct to video hell for the third, and it could've stuck like that but for whatever reason a fourth movie with vin diesel did well and now he has "his franchise" even if a decade late from when he was a hot hollywood movie star in the early 2000's. That revival of his career hasn't helped him with other movies, at least not his revivals of Riddick and XXX. He's kind of like Robert Downey Jr in that sense, but I like Riddick and Diesel seems to love it so I'm sure we'll see another riddick movie even if he has to pay for it all. |

This one is supposed to be higher budget than Riddick 3 as well, which is good I want to explore the universe more, though I doubt it'll be as big as Riddick 2. |

I found it such a pleasure to see this movie in Dolby Cinema the other week. The sound of cars driving was all around me. I know how Letty felt when she said at one point she was feeling herself and then suddenly a big change happened in her life. I'm sure she and I are not alone with the year-and-a-half we've had.
