Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Fast X (2023)

The first couple of action scenes are kind of cool: cars dragging a huge vault through the streets and over a bridge and then a huge bomb rolling through the streets of Rome. Jason Momoa's villain was also sorta fun until we find out he treats corpses like life-size dolls. 

But really, it's just so tiresome now. The comedic shtick is played out. The fights feel perfunctory. The body count is literally laughable, if we're taking Little Brian's joy at personally blowing up baddies as any indication. The fact that this movie ends on a cliffhanger just made me tired. I'm assuming the abrupt end means that (SPOILER ALERT) most of the "family" didn't actually die in an aerial explosion? Because if the only family left are the most boring members (Dom, Letty and Little B), there'll be even bigger issues with the next installment.
