How does Deckard Shaw get nominally brought onto "the team" when he was retconned as being responsible for Han's death? Booooo.....
This is Empire - level forgetful of a previous subplot.
Ah well. I enjoyed this craziness, regardless.
Hobbs and Shaw's escape from the prison was intense, though I figured it was rigged.
The Cuba sequence was beautiful. Makes me even more aggravated that I don't have a snowball's chance of going myself and introducing myself to as many women as possible.
Is there anything that Tej can't gadget his way out of? Heh.
I wonder how much CGI and how many real cars got used and trashed in the NYC cavalcade sequence. I suppose this probably doesn't do much for convincing people that automatic-driving cars are a good thing.
I don't suppose there's any point in thinking about the people who were maimed and/or possibly "killed" during Dom's heel-turn activities. Doesn't really count when you're brainwashed, right?
Helen Mirren? Um, oh-kay.... just what is her character's backstory? British Mafia? I guess we'll find out next time? I guess Owen Shaw will be back, too. Eh.. I'm a little weary of the Juggernauting of the bad buys in the saga. Bah... (did I just coin a word? Hmm..)
So is Hobbs married? His daughter's mom never comes up. I guess it doesn't matter. So was that Samoan war chant authentic?
Elsa Pataky, at least I still have part 5 & 6 to admire you in... sigh..
A gunfight with a baby in tow? What the blue $&!%...
The submarine chase/climax was worth forgiving the goofy ways that people got out of trouble. Roman's damn near bulletproof, it seems, or all the goons were terribly bad shots on the open ice...
Hopefully the next one will start filming ASAP.
So I guess Kurt Russell's Nobody is the "M" figure from now on, eh? I guess Scott Eastwood will be "brought up to speed" with the rest of the guys by next movie and become more of a co-partner and more heroic. At the risk of being inflammatory, I can see the studio wanting a youngish white guy to be more in the mix after Walker's passing.
Still wish Paul Walker was still here, but it's fair enough that Brian and Mia are 'retired' from the saga..
Next time, more Nathalie Emanuel, please. Much, much more. Please. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
