The Unofficial Ongoing Current Movies in Theaters thread

[dookeyXXX]

Yeah. I’m a sucker for heist films and I love Point Break, so the first one is basically a perfect movie for me.

Did I hear somewhere that The Rock and Statham hate each other so much they were never together for any part of the filming of Hobbs and Shaw?

I never heard any rumblings about The Rock and Statham…
But there was plenty of online rumblings about Diesel and Dwayne butting heads…I always assumed that’s why they did the spin-off.

I felt the last film suffered horribly from the absence of The Rock. That and the fact that everyone involved seemed to be taking the ludicrous story too seriously…

While I feel that the latter entries in the series have jumped a megalodon, this article is well-written and the author embraces the shark jumping wholeheartedly:

I saw Fast X this afternoon. It is the first Fast and Furious franchise movie I've seen in the theater as I've never been a big fan. I have to say it was an entertaining movie. I did shake my head multiple times as it was tough to suspend my disbelief, but I still had fun and thought Jason Momoa was a good villain. I wasn't expecting that type of ending as the only thing I knew about the movie was the trailer.

Walking out of the theater with my friend, who is a fan of the franchise, I said this feels like the MCU only with cars as the good guys really do not die.

Just saw this as well. The whole franchise is ready to be put to bed. It’s all just a rehash of the same people and same stories as 8&9, even with the forced nostalgia rammed down your throat every five minutes. The worst thing about it is that I didn’t even leave the theater feeling like I wanted to break a bunch of traffic laws. I’m pretty sure I was on the hook for felony speeding on the way home from the first four or five of them. I left this one just bored.

It really is a comic book movie now where they just pretend that these are all non-super people. They use Nos like they use Vibranium. Whenever they need to get out of a sticky situation, just hit it with Nos. That’ll solve it!

The only bright spot was Jason Mamoa. He was like a big, evil Pedro Pascal and really carried the whole show.

Well, we still have F11 (aka FX pt 2 aka “the finale”) to go, then innumerable spin-offs.
So there’s gonna be Fast & Furious clogging up the cineplexes for quite some time going forward…

As long as they keep making bank (I believe they are HUGE throughout the Asian market) they will keep churning ‘em out.

I know after the first one, when I was in my early 20's, I certainly pushed my Ford Taurus pretty hard on the way home. Good thing I didn't have a NoS injection system!

Unbeknownst to me, she is French (I was always under the impression/misconception that she was a Brit)…

I believe it is a “one-night only” event taking place at select theaters on June 21 (at least here in The States):

Oh weird. I was looking at something that said 2022. Must have been a typo.

Looks like it did the festival circuit in the fall of 2022, opened in Europe in November, and apparently had a limited run in The States in November 2022, as well:

Ha. It’s all starting to come together now!

Teetering on the fence about this, even though I really dug the first one.
It’s just that I am hella multiversed out at this point…

A quasi upside is that Galaxy Theaters sent me a free ticket for my b-day. It expires June 27, so I either use it for this, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts or The Flash…none of which I am terribly excited about, but they’re the only new films opening before the expiration date of the freebie ticket…


PS
I have realized that my favorite Marvel and DC films have all been stand-alone stories that didn’t involve either the multiverse or alternate Earths…

I agree on the multiverse stuff being overdone but you may as well go to this one. It was pretty fun
