Not going to lie. That would actually be hilarious purely to see Diesel's reaction over the Rock invading yet another franchise he's already a part of.

First thing I ever seen him in was as Stringer Bell in The Wire and remember being shocked when I found out he wasn't American. It's still his best role to this day. Although he's excellent in Luther as well.

i like him in Luthor .... I remember when he did an episode of Law and Order

Possibly. But they will probably put more out if they keep making money. I notice though that F&F 9 is slated for 2020 and F&F 10 for 2021. So, they are doing them very close to each other, compared to all the others.

Or maybe they want to become the new Star Wars lol. Give us a movie every year. 2022: Hobbs and Shaw 2: Hobbs and Shaw got to Space.

Yeah...they have said the 10th one is the final one, There'll be a 11th i'm sure of it if it makes alot of cash.

Supposedly Keanu Reeve's has a role in this movie

Also, it might just be deceptively cut, but it actually kind of looks like they have Hobbs rip off Cap's helicopter feat from Civil War at 3:25. Which would be hilariously absurd if it is the case.

To me it looked like an upgraded version. Instead of holding off a helicopter from flying away by holding onto a railing like Cap did, it looked to me like Hobbs is hanging onto the helicopter and holding up that truck by the chain

So I just saw this movie and it was a lot of dumb fun. The movie feels like it something that would have released back in the 90's but ir still works. Idris Elba committing to the dumb lines in the script somehow works.

Far as the actual movie is concerned

Spoiler:
Hobbs and Shaw are for all intents and purposes superhuman and the movie expect everyone to go along with it...even when the main villian is an actual superhuman. The scenes in the trailer are just as ridiculous when fully fleshed out on screen. Also having the plot device virus being called the Snowflake sounds like a not so subtle social commentary.

The movie is dumb but knows it's dumb which makes it pretty enjoyable IMO.

I watched this a bit earlier. And yeah, it's very dumb, but it knows exactly what it is. And, because of that, it's quite fun.

This movie is A LOT though, so there are a few pacing issues with somewhat jarring jumps between different points in the story, in order to move things along. You get more used to it as it goes along though. And lol, they actually had Hobbs

Spoiler:
pull that helicopter by the chain for a couple of seconds before re-attaching it to the truck, and even had him emulate the Captain America pose while doing it.

Also, there are a couple of really surprising and entertaining extended cameos.

Great movie, everything you would expect in this type of move. Ryan Reynolds has a great cameo and not expected.

“He really is Black Superman” Hobbs

Best line in the movie.

Yeah, it's a really entertaining flick. You just have to go all in with the suspension of disbelief for the action sequences, but that's standard for these movies at this point.

Crazy thing about Brixton is

Spoiler:
he isn't even the real Big Bad. He's just a top level henchman, really. So, there is still more to come. And they've opened up a lot of potential options with the tech-themed bad guys. I still say they should go to space next. Put a supercharger on a lunar rover. Have Hobbs punch a small asteroid lol.

Brilliantly ridiculous. Hobbs definately has a degree of legit Superstrength.

i liked it. it's fun, silly, stupid, a little over the top but this is a good film.. Statham and the Rock play off each other really well.. Idris was awesome as

Spoiler:
Black Superman
.

loved seeing

Spoiler:
ryan reynolds and kevin hart

vanessa kirby who i like held her own

Great action. I found the mix of comedy and action to be perfect. The Dwayne and Statham combination is brutal.

Hobbs & Shaw is a solid spin-off of the Fast & Furious franchise with familiar faces delivering fine performances in an action-packed, fast-paced, at times generic, summer blockbuster.

I enjoyed it up until the final act. I tried checking my brain at the door, but had too much brain residue to enjoy the climatic battle.

Hobbs & Locke is the movie that really needed to be made btw.

Never saw it. Probably will not. F&F is just not cool to me.

This apparently had a good Chinese opening weekend. Which isn't really surprising. Jason Statham is very popular there for some reason.
