See a film on the day its released thats more like it isnt it, thats more of me. A Rush from the office to get to cineworld, but im here for the 6pm showing of F9 (Fast & Furious Nine) & im excited for the madness these films give me.
Before we get onto anything huge shout out to the woman who scanned my ticket who when she did it said, you were here last night for Supernova. & i said yes good memory, it was a fab film. Her reply was oh i only recognised you because of your distinctive face mask which has the london Tube on it, its really cool. Cheer love thats made my day even before the film starts.
Id say the 6pm showing was almost sold out there were some gaps right at the front & by the walls but other than that every row had lots of people in. It was in screen x too so i was expecting it to be all around me but it wasnt which was nice. I also didnt realise till i got there that i was in screen x so…. Id say most people were around my age late 20’s to early 40s. I felt like i was the only “one” there everyone else was in groups of at least 3… Im not that strange right???
Trailers, Black Widow (yesss so close) Suicide Squad (yesss getting closer) No Time to die (almost here please dont move it again) & Free Guy (yesssssssssssssss Taika on that big of a screen makes me smile). So yea all the big films coming up basically. Get in Cinema is back baby.
& then the film started… & it was Madness, absolutely crazy & off the scale just out of this world (pun intended youve seen the trailer its not a spoiler).
So lets talk about the best bit of the film & if its not your favourite bit that you seriously need to look at yourself. Its the whole 6minutes of film Helen Mirren is in. She just nails it, she is so classy, & she actually gets to drive. Bloody love it. The film deserves to be watched just for that bit, its fantastic.
John Cena is good as a bad guy but you do sit there every now & then & think hes being carried through this a little he still needs a few more roles before hes a proper actor. Hes still better that the 2 minutes of Cardi B in the film, not sure why she was there or what she adds to it.
So the film spends so long telling you about the maths & the figures & the science & how it all works & that its all practical & realistic & then just throws it all out of the window when it needs to. & im not just talking the McGuffin or the magnet im talking all of it. It spends too long making you think its going to be logical & correct & then just goes where going to flip this truck thats on fire down a hill & the guy is still going to be alive…. yeah…. either be brave enough to go were mad fact & furious or dont spend so long trying to justify it all.
Didnt like the Scottish stereotypes, seriously every stereotype that would go to Edinburgh was there & it was a bit oh god anymore. Its not Hogwarts horror shit its history get used to it.
I liked the flash backs to various peoples storys throughout that was good i liked that. Proper insight & it was nice it was throughout the film too & not just in one place. I mean all films are improved is Rooker turns up to be a dodgy father like figure arent they.
The chases really are a work of art they always are. The yare edited & choreographed to a t & you sit there & yo udo have to smile at them all & think yes this so good. I mean i dont know much about cars at all ( i know mine has a stope engine mood to save the planet in theory) but i appreciated that driving & that it looked super cool.
Again its mentioned in the trailer so this isnt ruining it but going to Space was epic. I loved it. At hat point you do just go with it & the madness.
Ive not seen all of the previous fast films i think ive not seen 4 of them so there were a few bits where i was like hang on where this who are they ( dont worry i know who Han is) but there were some bits that i have missed throughout which might have helped. I did here people talk about them while in the cinema.
Its Crazy mad & obscured & i did smile & have a bloody good time watching it. I just want to know where we are going next with this franchise. I know theres only 2 left to go but what can we do now. They are already out of this world, so im guessing the sky is no limit.
