Review of F9 (2021) by Moviemitch96 — 28 Jun 2021

With a movie franchise as ridiculous as this one, you get what you paid for and pretty much know what to expect. There's not a whole lot in the way of story other than Dom's (Vin Diesel) brother (John Cena) coming back from the past to settle a personal vendetta against him and his crew.

As usual, the action is over-the-top to point of just being mind-numbing at times, and the acting definitely isn't Oscar-worthy. Regardless, it's still fun enough (I suppose) if you go in expecting it to be the disposal popcorn flick that it is.

Overall, it's certainly not what I'd call one of the better entries in the franchise, but it does raise the stakes and keeps things entertaining enough to a point. And spoiler alert: in addition to an out-of-place and pointless cameo from Cardi B, this franchise really jumps the shark towards the end by venturing out of earth-territory if you know what I mean.
