 Fast 10, your seatbelts fam. There's a new Fast and the Furious movie coming out in just a few days and the early paid shill results are in. So buckle up, because we're gonna talk about them. Full disclosure, I was being a little bit saucy, a little bit catty in the intro. I don't think these are all paid shills or fake reviews. I do think some of the early reactions that go out on Twitter though are a bit easygoing. A little bit more generous maybe, than if they would have sought like the rest of us common folk on the day of release. Instead of, you know, getting the early access treatment, seeing Brie Larson and Vin Diesel on the red carpet, going to some of these early premiers. These exclusive events that I will tell you right now aren't gonna be handed out to people that constantly crap on the movies they're going to. That said, we can still learn a thing or two from some of these early reactions. So I'd like to, you know, put the pedal to the metal and drive over them real fast. I will point out that I have changed the names of the critics as to keep them anonymous, keep them from getting any sort of hate thrown their way because some of them are probably honest. They could all be honest reactions to what they watch. I don't think so, but let's jump in. Lil Nas X says, fast X is everything you'd expect it to be. It is funny, action packed and ridiculously entertaining. Some moments will leave your jaw on the floor. Jason Momoa is a scene stealer and easily one of the most menacing and memorable villains of this franchise. It sounds like fast fans are going to be creaming themselves over this. Well, let's hear what others have to say. Brie Larson, MommyMilker says, big, loud, dumb, a high octane blast that recaptures the series peak. The po-faced ridiculousness is wielded as a holy weapon, propelled by a relentless momentum, faces old and new shine, the set pieces sizzle, and a doozy of a cliffhanger seals the deal. Awesome. He seems pretty high on this. I do like the use of the word sizzle. Doesn't get used enough. I appreciate a good film that can bring home the bacon, sizzle it up, fry it in a pan and feed it to me. Sounds like this might be that movie. Paul Walker Forever fan, four with a number four, of course. It seems like most of the things I hated about F9 got fixed in fast X. While it's still stupid, it's enjoyably stupid. Never stops being entertaining. And there's a cameo at the end that made me happy, still flawed, but a massive step up from eight and nine. Bring on the next two. Khaleesi Grimes 82 says, not alert. I love this movie. Fast X is just as good as fast nine, fast eight, fast seven, fast six. They just keep getting better. I love it. I think it's great. I love it. I think it's great. When I saw fast nine, I was like cool beans, but fast X is everything I wanted and whore. That's right. We got Brie Larson, baby. She's a strong female lead. And frankly, it's about time. I'm gonna be seeing fast X three more times tonight. Okay, that one wasn't actually from a credible reviewer. Let's keep going. Diesel come guzzler 69 says, fast X is a mixed bag. On the plus side, it contains some incredibly exciting action sequences and the best villain of the franchise with Jason Momoa's Dante. On the negative side, outside of the action, it's extremely convoluted and boring. So pick your poison. Based on some of these early reactions, it sounds like Jason Momoa is bringing his game. See if this continues. Aquaman Stan says, fast X is thankfully an improvement over nine. The nonsense stunts in action feel fun again. Jason Momoa literally slayed. Loved the refreshing new take on an F and F villain. That said, this family is too big and the plot is overstuffed with a few reveals that will make eyes roll. I've only seen the Dark Knight trilogy says, if you unabashedly love Fast and the Furious, you're gonna be thrilled with fast X. Jason Momoa is the Joker to Vin Diesel's Batman, favorite villain of the series, a perfectly insane foil to our fast family. This is a thing I've been seeing every time one of these fucking early access review critiques comes out. I did the little mermaid a week or so back. There were three or four tweets that said, Halle Bailey is the little mermaid or is Ariel and the is is always an emphasis, you know, capital IS. We have it here now with freaking Jason Momoa as the Joker. What? I've never seen a good movie in my life, says. Epic, shocking and more furious than ever. Emotional triumph, crazy twists and an intense climax that'll jerk your gears off for an explosive finale. This isn't just another fast film, it's one of the best action movies ever made. A fitting end, setting what's next. Okay, some of that I didn't even understand and it sounds like he wants to jerk off a car at one point, but he's high on it. I'll say that, he's high on it. Lastly, an impression from Dwayne The Cock Johnson. Fast X is the wildest FNF yet and full throttle with no brakes or idea what it wants to be. Jason Momoa is having the most fun he's ever had on screen, legit playing the Joker. It really wants to remind you fast five happened. It's absolutely ridiculous, but I was never bored. Jason Momoa being referred to as the Joker by several different outlets is something I didn't have on my vision board for 2023. What the hell is happening? I mean, I saw the 35 minute trailer that they put out. I'm not getting shades of Joker from Momoa, but I mean, okay, I guess we'll find out. Is it possible that the acting is just so horribly bad by everyone else that Jason Momoa stands out because he's competent? That's maybe where I'm going with it because fast nine has no acting at all. It's seriously just Vin Diesel chiseled out of rock, getting moved around and dropped. Michelle Rodriguez just mugs at the camera. No one has any emotion in these movies. They're just so awful, awfully fun at times, sure, but fast nine was a complete train wreck. You still have to have some semblance of movie structure and something for me to hook onto from a story stake. You know, if it's just nonsense explosions everywhere, this is the problem I had with John Wick 4, which I did enjoy a lot, but none of the John Wick movies past the first really have anything for you to connect to. It's really just two hour showcases or longer of really cool special effects and stunt work and gun food, which is enough, but after three or four movies, it starts to wane. And here we are at fast 10, folks. To use a lame car analogy, this thing's been out of gas for seven films now. Let's be done with it, but no, we have two more on the way after this one, because fast X, that's part one out of a three-part saga, baby. This is never gonna end, not until all of these people legitimately die. And even then, the technology's gotten to a point where you can make an AI Vin Diesel who's even better at acting than he is, which to be fair, is not saying much, but still, we can do this all in post. And the same can kind of be said for a lot of these early reactions. Some of them have absolutely nothing to bring to the table. Yeah, these movies are loud, dumb, and full of action. Okay, well, I guess that's what we're gonna get. I could figure that out from the trailer. You didn't need to see the movie for that. So Jason Momoa's Joker, that's the takeaway here.
