It seems that "Fast and Furious 9" is trying to make the Marvel Universe kneel...

There is no suspense, "Fast and Furious 9" is the biggest recent box office winner. On Friday and Saturday, the box office was smashed at a rate of about 300 million a day, and nearly 900 million in three days. However, in contrast to the super high box office, the film's super low reputation. If there are audiences who want to buy tickets to watch in the cinema, it is recommended to watch the trailer directly, because the explosion scene in the trailer is already the essence of the movie.


Newton will cry when he sees it, Marvel is ashamed to see it

The timeline of Fast 9 follows Fast 8. Boss Tang took Letty and his son out of the rivers and lakes, and lived a peaceful life indifferent to the world.

However, the younger brother of Tang Boss, Jacob, is planning a great conspiracy that threatens the safety of the world. So Boss Tang returned to the rivers and lakes, gathered his former partners, and teamed up to save the world.

It's an old traditional art, and it comes at the beginning of almost every episode.

The action scenes are outrageous, everyone should have heard of it. I seriously suspect that the director Justin Lin stole a lot of our anti-Japanese dramas and put together this "Drag Racing Hero".

In fact, the action scenes of "Fast 8" are already very illogical, but the big scenes such as "Car Rain" and "Submarine War" are spectacular enough, and the emotions are over.

But "Furious 9" really can't stand it.

At the beginning of the scene, Letty, one of the protagonists, drove a small motorcycle and passed through the minefield unscathed, while the villain driving a heavy armored vehicle on the other side was about to blow up.

If this is still a routine operation of the protagonist's halo, then there are only more and more outrageous actions behind.

To escape the minefield, the protagonist group has to cross a thin wooden suspension bridge, and the load-bearing capacity can be imagined. As soon as the car got up, the bridge began to slowly collapse.

The bridge has collapsed, but the protagonist's halo has not collapsed. So our protagonist's large off-road vehicle still rushed over . Isn't the foreign film also under Newton's control?

Boss Tang leaned on the bridge's steel cable to tie the car, and threw him and the car over the cliff, and accurately threw him into a small open space opposite.

The car made of metal alloy was destroyed, the flesh and blood were still there, nothing happened.

Silk-swinging Peter Parker and Quadruple Serum Captain America expressed shame.

There is also a huge and powerful magnetic truck in the movie. If you want to suck whatever you want, you can accurately suck only the villain's car across a building . Magneto looks at it and exclaims .

I still remember that in "Fast 7", Brian shouted to Mr. Tang: "Cars don't fly." Justin Lin heard it, smiled slightly, and said: Not only can I fly, but I also want to go to the sky.

In the movie, in order to prevent the villain from controlling high-tech weapons, the boss of Tang sends Roman and Tej to space to destroy satellites. So the two tied a rocket engine to the small broken car and went straight to space. The Guardians of the Galaxy watched cursing.

This is not the end, and then the two directly drove into the satellite in space. After an explosion, the satellite was destroyed and the car was blown up, but the people were not only unscathed, but also squatted in space to the rescue of other countries' spaceships.

I feel that my IQ has been deeply insulted. Is this a plot that can appear in a Hollywood A-level production?

Some viewers feel that no-brainer cool films do not need true logic. However, in a vertical and horizontal comparison, whether it is "Godzilla vs. King Kong" released a while ago, or "Furious 5" directed by Justin Lin himself, there are no large-scale logical flaws. According to the standards of the peers, "Fast 9" is not too much, right?

And after sacrificing the basic logic, the action scenes of "Fast 9" did not make any new ideas, nothing more than racing, explosions, rollovers, and flying. The audience has seen similar scenes a hundred times in other Hollywood blockbusters.

The "Fast and Furious" series was originally a subculture movie , attracting audiences with elements such as modified cars and underground racing.

In the ninth film, the box office is getting higher and higher, and the scene is getting bigger and bigger, but the drag racing scene has lost its early uniqueness. It is not only similar to other superhero movies, but also has many fatal logical flaws.

If the audience can see the same big scene in any Hollywood blockbuster, why choose the "Fast 9" which insults the IQ?

It's a pity that the global movie market has been delayed by the epidemic. There are no blockbusters at the moment, so "Fast 9" has all made money.


Don't ask, it's tiring to ask

"We are tired of logging" has always been the core theme of the "Fast and Furious" series, and the "family" that appears in the movie can be connected to circle the earth.

If the previous "Fast and Furious" still used complete stories to describe the inclusiveness of the family, then in "Fast 9", "logging tired" has become a slogan -like existence, everything is family.

"Fast 9" returns directly to the origin of the Tang family, and the villain is his younger brother Jacob, played by former WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) pillar John Cena.

Jacob is a newly added character, and even Boss Tang's "Lumberjack Member" learned for the first time in "Fast 9" that he has a younger brother. It is estimated that the director and screenwriter also know it for the first time.

Jacob, as the child his father did not like, was somewhat of a psychological shadow. His biggest goal in life is to become a better person than his brother.

However, in the "Fast" universe, in addition to the invalid gravity and the immortality of the protagonist, another constant principle is that no one can be stronger than Vin Diesel.

Although John Cena is a wrestler-turned-actor, he had a very wonderful performance in the R-rated comedy "Wreck of Life" earlier, which almost stole the limelight of the protagonist and left a deep impression on the audience.

In "Fast 9", Cena's performance is not very good. As a former WWE facade, he didn't even arrange a hearty fight scene in the movie, maybe he was afraid of stealing Vin Diesel's limelight.

After all, Dwayne Johnson, the last "stealer", was squeezed out to shoot rumors.

From the death of the father to the rivalry between the brothers, to the escape of Jacob, the film spends a lot of time telling the history of the eldest Tang and his younger brother.

It could have been very tense and dramatic, but in "Fast 9", it became a slogan-like existence.

Whether they are buddies or not, whether they have any grudges or not, the screenwriter doesn't care at all, and the big scene is over.

Jacob's inner scar is to say "I don't want to live in your shadow", and Boss Tang's "timbering" feeling for his brother is also a sentence "My brother's miscalculation is mine".

In the end, Jacob was successfully "washed ashore" , and years of hatred and grievances were reconciled on the spot with the words "tired of logging".

There are new logging members, and there are resurrected ones. In addition to reserving a seat for Paul Walker at the end, another major emotional stalk of "Fast 9" is the return of Han.

Justin Lin also kept saying in the interview that justice should be brought to Han.

I was gearing up to see how the director arranged for Han to resurrect and bring justice to him, but no one planned to explain it at all, without any details or retrospectives , just one sentence: Mr. Anonymous was so powerful that he faked Han's death.

After Han's resurrection, he played the role of a tool man. In terms of emotions, it was a stalk of feelings. In terms of plot, it was to lead out the key to unlocking weapons and promote the development of the plot.

As for justice, the director left it to the easter egg. Han went to Xiao (played by Jason Statham) who killed him in the first place, with the intention of revenge.

But I doubt that given the boring and mindless level of this plot, there will be a few viewers who will have the patience to stay and watch the easter eggs.

Since the plots of the "Fast and Furious" series are outrageous one by one, many viewers are imagining the plot of "Fast 10".

In an earlier interview, Vin Diesel revealed that "Fast 10" is the finale. In order to give back to the fans (to make a fortune), it may be released in two parts, the top and the bottom, and the box office ambitions are aimed at Avengers 4.

In fact, the whole series stopped in "Fast 7" is quite perfect, with quality and feelings, and it can also end with a double box office word of mouth. Helpless the market is booming, "Fast 7" has followed one after another, see you again and again and again...

I advise "Fast 10" not to be divided into two episodes, and to be integrated into one, and go quickly after fishing. The studios put their money into serious movies, the global economy is not good, don't put it aside and waste money.
