muscle weakness

I watched it before the release, although someone warned me that this film is average, but as an old NFS fan, I always feel sorry for not watching it.

With the unfortunate death of Paul Walker, the Fast and Furious series is probably coming to an end, and the NFS, which is coming strong, has the meaning of taking over the guns of its predecessors.

If you are an NFS gamer, this film is worth 10 points from a certain point of view. The familiar driving perspectives in the film, the highly restored street tracks, the well-modified supercars, the wanton roar of the engine, The police's siege, exaggerated hurricanes, sharp turns, drifts, collisions, tumbling... Even every detail of the street lights, isolation green belts, gas stations, etc., all pay homage to EA's masterpiece to the greatest extent. How can these not make the adrenaline of NFS fans surge?
So much so that my friends and I were talking while watching: which track is this for... Hey, it's unreal not to hit a lamp post here... Isn't it supposed to knock down the post and let the ceiling collapse after passing through the gas station? Block the car behind... blablablabla
rush these, actually enough.

However, as a racing movie, I am afraid it is only passable.
In many places, you will find the same ingredients as the Fast and Furious series, such as brotherhood, teamwork, the main line of revenge, and even the ratio of team members is very similar. It's probably not a good idea to go down the same route after the seniors have already achieved obvious success.
What's more, the style of fast and furious is so distinct, firmly taking the muscle route, the muscle man driving the muscle car, Vin Diesel's cold and tough style has been running through the film, as well as several leading actors in the film. Such as family friendship, the interpretation is also in place.
At this core, NFS is a little powerless. Although the whole article revolves around the male lead's revenge for his brother, it is always a little less expressive.
Also, I secretly thought that the essence of NFS is not only racing, but also modification is a major core. There are some scenes where they are holding wrenches to pretend, but this film does not show it at all, especially the modification factory in the film is still Under the premise of an important scene, all the cars are conjured out of thin air.

Finally, let's spit out some places that I think are a bit bloody, personal opinions.
1. Ford put a lot of money into the movie and made the new Mustang look like a super long commercial; (by the way, the real Mustang in my mind will always be the 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 , the new model doesn't feel at all)
2. The most bloody thing is that the wild horse that the whole film is touting, actually hung up before the final climax, and then replaced it with an all-over European supercar;
3. In the end, it was so positive. What's the deal with parking to save the villain? If you really have a heart of great compassion and compassion, all the four opponents in front were hit miserably, why don't you go back and save them. It's a bit deliberate (but this setting is probably guessed by many people);
4. What is the trouble of getting a black man to drive all kinds of planes to engage in air support? Isn't that the kind of thing that looks at the map and tells you that there is a path to turn in a few seconds, isn't it? Especially the part of crossing the United States where the car was hoisted away by a plane.

To sum up, it's basically a game promo + Ford commercial, just watch it, and it's over to find the feeling.

    [Two Stars] Just kidding me... 65 million for this kind of thing

  • Alta 2022-03-21 09:01:51

    This is a movie that gets worse and worse, and the director's only talent is to make a little sense of the game for gamers. The 3D transformation in the later stage is not necessary at all. The roaring engine noise is from beginning to end. The plot is built on a realistic logic bug. A selfish young man who ignores the law and seeks revenge escapes the police and everything. The drag racing and traffic accidents he created are the highlights. That's all, the characters are so flat that the actors go too far. ★★

  • [first lines]

    Monarch: Hey, I've been doing some homework on this kid Tobey Marshall from Mount Kisco. This kid was a phenom. Used to tear up the local circuits. Him and his dad, man, they campaigned like champions. Of course, Mount Kisco had another great, Dino Brewster. You all know Dino. He went on to race in the big leagues at Indy, and Toby just kind of fell through the cracks. Well, here's some news, cretins. Tobey's been running again, and running fast. Real fast, fast as that "Grim Taquito" will take him. Tobey, you wanna fly with the eagles, you need bigger wings, son.
