Things move very fast in this, the 11th movie in the franchise (don’t forget to remember to not forget about Hobbes and Shaw!) and is the start of a trilogy of movies that might could possibly finish up this furious story that they’ve been telling for over 20 years.
Jason Momoa is a breath of fresh air in terms of bad guys for these films, we’ve seen many mustache twirling baddies doing bad things just for the sake of being bad, getting rich, or getting incredible world controlling power, but Momoa is the first psychotic bad guy that we’ve had where yes, there’s mustache twirling and an over abundant amount of monologuing, but it’s all done in an over the top entertaining way that I didn’t know just how to deal with while seeing the flick. I think my final opinion is that I like the character? Like, as is, he’s a good villain, but he’s not “like” I want to buy him a beer any time soon.
Everyone from the franchise makes appearances, they’ve added a couple new ones (Momoa, Brie Larson) and there’s a nice mid credit scene that teases the next film in the franchise which may or may not be an official entry. I bet it’ll be a “Fast and Furious Presents” film.
