Review of F9 (2021) by Xavier-Tv2 — 13 Jul 2021

So here we go again… fast and the furious… but the ninth one. But is it really the ninth one? I feel after fast 5, the series has been really stale and almost kind of lost it’s identity. Let me explain, since the fourth entry they kind of stepped away from the racing scene and more onto the action.

What made fast and the furious so great were the cars, it’s racing, and of course bits of action and drama. However, every entry after tokyo drift suddenly took a quick right turn to more action than racing.

Fast and furious (4) started it off with less racing and more action. This didn’t make it necessarily bad but sure wasn’t my favorite. It’s sequel Fast Five was fantastic even though there was pretty much no racing in the movie.

Fast Five felt refreshing and more innovative to the series. Then came 6, 7, 8, and 9. Oh boy where do I begin?!? Thats right no where because the last 4 entries had basically no racing and ran off as a bootleg mission impossible series.

Rip paul… but anyways here we are with fast 9 which is kind of a copy and paste of 7, 8, and 9 where nothing new and innovative was brought to the table. Dom starts movie off with family, world and family are in danger, family fights, family happy at end.

Nothing new to the table and rather mindless action packed scenes. Don’t get me wrong, the action is fun to watch but once you get behind the fact that you’re watching a “fast and the furious” movie, you actually question yourself “why is it even called that in the first place”.

In conclusion, f9 is played out as a spy/action-adventure movie where little to no racing was taken place. Original fans of the series like myself hoped for more racing like the first 3 movies but were left in disappointment with a movie that goes to space.
