  1. Fast and Furious : Hobbs & Shaw (film, 2019)@florenceboens1598d

    Bonjour à tous,

    En forme ?

    Fast_&Furious_Presents_Hobbs&_Shaw 2019.jpg

    L'action est au rendez-vous, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire ! L'humour aussi est présent, bien dosé.

    C'est le premier spin-off de Fast and Furious, vous n'y verrez d'ailleurs pas Vin Diesel. Par contre, Hobbs et Shaw sont interprétés par Dwayne Johnson et Jason Statham, qui sont également coproducteurs de ce film américain et japonais. La sœur de Shaw, Hattie, est jouée par Vanessa Kirby et le "méchant" par Idris Elba.

    Synopsis : Hattie a volé un virus mortel au méchant et n'a pas eu d'autre choix que de se l'injecter. Elle n'a que très peu de temps pour se le faire extraire, sans quoi elle décèdera.

    Avis : Il ne faut pas chercher à savoir si c'est possible ou non, par exemple, qu'une moto arrive toute seule (sans pilote) et attende debout que son pilote l'enjambe, parce que dans ce film, c'est possible ;)

    Beaucoup de cascades, de courses-poursuites, de combats, de "Oups ! c'était moins une, hein !?", mais aussi de "C'est moi qui suis le + fort !" et de "la famille, c'est sacré !".

    Ryan Reynolds fait aussi partie du casting, en second rôle, et dans son genre humoristique.

    Ce film dure 2 bonnes heures, mais on ne voit vraiment pas le temps passer. On profite aussi des beaux paysages des "îles Samoa", même si ça a été tourné sur l'île hawaïenne de Kauai. Attention qu'il y a 3 scènes inter- et post-génériques, qui insinuent qu'on n'en a pas fini avec Hobbs & Shaw. Il semblerait que ce duo infernal apparaisse déjà dans Fast and Furious 8, aux côtés de Vin Diesel, cette fois, mais je ne saurais vous dire dans quelles circonstances, puisque je n'ai plus regardé de Fast and Furious depuis le volume 2. Ithara et moi sommes d'ailleurs d'avis de les regarder à l'occasion. Malheureusement, ils ne sont pas disponibles sur Netflix. Celui-ci, on a profité qu'il passait à la télévision pour le visionner. Je vais vérifier s'ils ne seraient pas accessibles via Prime Vidéo, sait-on jamais.

    On a passé un très bon moment devant ce film. Je me demande encore comment on peut manger une si grande quantité de pancakes, sans avoir d'indigestion ! Vous comprendrez si vous regardez ce film ;) Hihi

    Sur ce, je vous laisse à vos occupations et vous dis à bientôt,

    Florence

  2. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) review - A good identity crisis@richardalexis1862d

    Source Separador.png

    Among so many films in the Fast And Furious franchise, especially after the third installment, it was easy to see the identity crisis coming that the subsequent installments would suffer, what started as a series of movies about cars and a little action was folding and folding the bet, until it becomes a blockbuster show that has more of superheroes than tuning culture.

    The change of vision, as expected, uncomfortable for some and pleases many, if we take into account the figures Fast And Furious has reached at the box office from Fast Five onwards, which are not exactly small.

    Personally, I am not bothered by the change but I am not dying of emotion either, I have spoken a couple of times here about my experience with this saga and I feel that the peak of quality was in the fifth installment, which although I do not complain about the most recent If I feel like they lost a bit of charm.

    Captura de pantalla 2021-05-22 17.24.50.png

    For all this, I was very surprised that Hobbs And Shaw, a kind of spin-off of 2019 that brings together two characters from the last chapters of the saga in an adventure that combines espionage, action and superheroes (?) Was quite pleasant.

    You have to take everything as the North Americans say, with a grain of salt, although it is far from perfect and it fucks up the internal canon of the saga a bit (Or what's left of it, let's remember that Shaw killed Han), Hobbs And Shaw is a much more focused film, and it is something that they needed for many years.

    Captura de pantalla 2021-05-22 17.38.53.png

    A fun and surprisingly well-written film (What a good chemistry Dwayne Jonhson with Jason Statham), that feels fresh even if it repeats a formula that we have already seen several times. Also notable is the role of Idris Elba, who, although he walks in an absurd position as an almost cartoonish villain, never feels out of place.

    Years of balancing between different genres and approaches end up producing a great action movie that has no problem keeping us interested.

    We must also recognize the good cast that makes up the film, with interesting appearances by Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart. Vanessa Kirby is another pleasant surprise as Hattie Shaw, who could easily be defined as the best female character in the entire saga, her presence, apart, serves to add complexity and depth to other characters that until now were extremely one-dimensional.

    The plot has the low points of it, and it is easy to find problems with it, but it serves the film, maintains its rhythm and effectively entertains.

    Entre tantas películas de la franquicia de Fast And Furious, especialmente luego de la tercera entrega era fácil ver venir la crisis de identidad que sufrirían las entregas posteriores, lo que empezó como una serie de películas sobre coches y un poco de acción fue doblando y doblando la apuesta, hasta convertirse en un espectáculo blockbuster que tiene más de superhéroes que de cultura tunning.

    El cambio de visión, como era de esperar, incómoda a algunos y agrada a muchos, si tomamos en cuenta las cifras Fast And Furious ha alcanzado en taquilla desde Fast Five en adelante, que no son pequeñas precisamente.

    Captura de pantalla 2021-05-22 20.53.05.png

    A mi, personalmente no me molesta el cambio pero tampoco muero de emoción, he hablado un par de veces aquí sobre mi experiencia con esta saga y siento que la cúspide de calidad fue en la quinta entrega, que aunque no me quejo de las más recientes si siento que perdieron un poco de encanto.

    Captura de pantalla 2021-05-22 17.24.50.png

    Por todo esto, me sorprendió muchísimo que Hobbs And Shaw, una suerte de spin-off de 2019 que junta a dos personajes de los últimos capítulos de la saga en una aventura que combina espionaje, acción y superhéroes (?) resultara bastante agradable.

    Hay que tomar todo como dicen los norteamericanos, con un grano de sal, aunque dista de ser perfecta y jode un poco el canon interno de la saga (O lo que queda de ella, recordemos que Shaw mató a Han), Hobbs And Shaw es una cinta muchísimo más enfocada, y es algo que necesitaban desde hace muchos años.

    Captura de pantalla 2021-05-22 17.38.53.png

    Un espectáculo divertidísimo y sorprendentemente bien escrito (Que aparte, que buena química la de Dwayne Jonhson con Jason Statham ), se siente fresco aunque repita una fórmula que ya hemos visto varias veces. Notable también el rol de Idris Elba, que aunque anda en una posición absurda como villano casi caricaturesco nunca se siente fuera de lugar.

    Años de balancearse entre distintos géneros y enfoques terminan produciendo una genial cinta de acción que no tiene problemas en mantenernos interesados.

    Captura de pantalla 2021-05-22 17.52.39.png

    También hay que reconocer el buen cast que conforma la película, con interesantes apariciones de Ryan Reynolds y Kevin Hart. Vanessa Kirby es otra agradable sorpresa como Hattie Shaw, quien fácilmente podría definirse como el mejor personaje femenino de toda la saga, su presencia, aparte, sirve para añadir complejidad y profundidad a otros personajes que hasta el momento resultaban extremadamente unidimensionales.

    La trama tiene sus momentos bajos, y es fácil encontrar problemas con ella, pero sirve al film, mantiene su ritmo y entretiene efectivamente.

  3. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw@filotasriza32479d

    Hey ladies and gentlemen i hope you are great! Last week my uncle called in order to go and watch a movie together. The ones who read my content know by now that uncle+cinema= free movie for me along with the fun! Thus, i couldn't say no and went. A little bit before we arrive to the cinema i remembered that i had no freaking idea of what movie i was about to watch, so i kindly asked. 

    As you can tell by the title the movie was Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and you may wonder "what's the big deal?", yeah i haven't watched a single one of the franchise... Also, i am not fond of the cars that much so i don't particularly like movies and games that revolve around that matter. In other words, I thought that i was gonna waste 2 hours and 17 minutes of my life over just cars... 

    Long story short that wasn't the case because they made some changes and took a different direction from the usual format of their franchise so at the end of the day i had fun. Now you have to know that you are damn lucky as this isn't only a movie review of a fanboy but also a review of an one in a million people that have never watched a single fast a furious! 

    Plot

    Our story starts with some MI6 agents that wanna capture a strange virus that as usual can destroy the world (everyday stuff) and the main villain trying to claim it for his own agenda. Before you ask me and i know you will "who the villain was" it was Brixton (Idris Elba) and the MI6 captain was Hattie (Vanessa Kirby). Brixton uses some kind of advanced tech that makes him kicks everyone's butts so Hattie in a final attempt to protect the virus from him, she injects it into her own body! (she is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of the world, YOU HEAR ME?)

    Things become a little bit complicated as Hattie is considered responsible for stealing the virus as well as a traitor of MI6 and very dangerous. Thus, the Intelligence agencies need the best men for the job in order to secure the virus and save the world. Those 2 men are Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) a badass masculine man and Shaw (Jason Statham) a man with more finesse. Apparently, they hate each other and are forced to cooperate together and team up in order to find the virus. My spider senses say that those 2 have also played in previous fast and furious.

    trailer

    Anyway soon enough we learn that Hattie is Shaw's sister and was framed from a secret organization that has a lot of power and it's goal is to have tech implants and stuff to every human in order to go one step ahead as society. They want to use the virus in order to eradicate most of humanity in which the one who live are the worthy of tech transplants or at least worshipers of the organization. They also need to take the virus out of Hattie's body withing 48 hours otherwise she is gonna die! Hobbs Shaw and Hattie team up under the family ideals and save both Hattie and the day!

    What i Liked

    The first thing i really enjoyed is that they took a different approach with this movie, making it more like an action comedy and not that car oriented. Less cars more fighting in simple terms! Also, they had many funny scenes with Hobbs and Shaw together as they both hated each other's style. Most of the action scenes were pretty good but ofc not believable but still pretty satisfying.

    Finally, they had some key actors that from the trailer nobody knew they gonna take part in the movie. One was Kevin Hart and the other one was the one and only Ryan Reynolds. Whenever those 2 had a scene it was guaranteed that you gonna at least share a smile!

    What i didn't Like 

    First and foremost the whole scenario wasn't anything perfect or different. A secret organization with a crazy like belief want to nearly destroy the world having a badass soldier in their side, while the good guys who are also badass they to save and ofc they save the world! Another thing that i didn't like was that the movie was too long. It could easily end at 1 hour and 30 minutes and that was because of the repeated scenario. The bad guy finds them, they fight a bit, they manage to run and the same keeps happening until they win. 

    Conclusion & Rating

    Overall it was a good movie to watch if you just wanna have a fun time and not start overthinking about where the world goes, how the toxic society makes us the same or worse (watch Joker for that) and whether Earth is flat or square. Just a fun movie with tons of action that you can enjoy while eating your popcorn. If you want something with a meaning, a romantic one or a horror please don't watch it, but you can still eat the popcorn at your house!

    IMDb Score 6.8/10 

    My Score  7/10

    Have you watched and if yes what's your opinion?
