Eligible Popcorn Movies

Let me conclude my review first: this is a decent popcorn movie.

The movie basically meets all the elements that popcorn movies need: exciting scenes, the protagonist's mouth cannon, the heroine's beauty, Guo Da Statham's traditional arts and suits, thugs, a reluctant plot and an ending that can be guessed at a glance .

However, as a regular movie fan who has seen the Fast and Furious series, I don't think this rumored movie has anything to do with Fast and Furious. There are no more than three points to force the relationship: the part of the world view of Suji, the family view of hello logging tired, and some of the creators of Suji.

But the above relationships are all weak relationships. If this movie is so strong and weak, it can also be called "Mission Impossible: The Adventures of White Widow", "Fate Express: Travel the World", and "Jumanji's Game: The Battle of South America" "Running Brothers America: Family Returns", "Deadpool Prequel: Bits and Pieces with She Hulk", "The Brown-Skinned Captain America", "The Bald Agent Breaks the Transformers" and "Heimdall's Rebirth and Employment"

Because this is a popcorn superhero movie, it doesn't matter whether it conforms to physical common sense, after all, it's over. But the core problem is: this movie is not Fast and Furious. When Speed ​​and Passion gradually changed from a speeding car party to a speeding car family, and then upgraded from a speeding car family to a bald alliance, this IP also moved from a niche racing crime B-level film to a-level or even super A-level hero films. But at least the original intention has not been forgotten: the love for cars and car culture. Even if the pure car racing scene in Fast 8 has become dispensable, the car is still the biggest hidden protagonist outside the protagonist group.

But in the limited car chase scenes in this movie, except for the British-made supercar at the beginning of Guo Da, the pickup truck group in South America, the big truck in an airtight laboratory with a top defense defense, and the car chase scene of the tactical jeep It's not really fast racing. And in the car chase scene with the supercar, the villain's motorcycle can be deformed, and I can bear it when I grit my teeth, and I also learn how to whistle and call a car from Zorro. . . If the wheels of your car burn, I guess Marvel will have to ask the crew for royalties.

Above, this movie is a (not) good (wrong) popcorn movie like that Hitman 47, but it shouldn't be called that.

    [YVR-Scotia] One and a half stars. The selling points of the film are very clear: 1. Speedy brand effect (racing, action, family); 2. Protagonist celebrity effect; (3. The director is a fan based on actions developed by sickness, extreme cold, and Deadpool). As for the finished product, although there are a few lengthy but good clips of the drag racing action, the whole is still boring. The main problem is that there is no new idea. The only "truck centipede" that shines, breaks away from the true basis of the previous series (reasonably exaggerated) and causes constant conversion between awesome and stupid. The unprepared family dramas and indigenous dramas are really hard-pressed. The theme of love/family is too big and weakens the literary drama, and the inexplicable sparkless love has no solid foundation. The action scene can only be considered satisfactory. The remaining celebrity effect is stereotyped as "contrasting cuteness" between the two heroes... It is indeed harsh to say that there is nothing, but more than two hours of watching is really not interesting. But for a purely popcorn work, it can only be a success or failure at the box office. Achievement is a series of rolling, if it fails, rely on the right to return to the blood!
