After looking forward to the long-awaited "Fast and Furious 8", I rushed to the cinema after work, and I was not disappointed after watching it.
Some people say that the success of 7 has extra points for Paul's unexpected death, and I don't deny it. But as a fan from 1 to 8, I feel that the "Fast and Furious" series does not rely on feelings to win at all. This film is worth the ticket price in terms of brain holes, scenes and casts.
The film is more than two hours long, with racing scenes one after another, and a lot of jokes interspersed in the middle. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham also joined the team of black brothers shaking the burden. There are some cool points, some laughs, and the overall rhythm is relaxed and relaxed. They will not be confused by the dazzling racing scenes, nor will they let the transitional link. Too dull.
The biggest suspense of the pre-release trailer is the reason for Dominic's blackening. After finishing the feature film, I feel that the explanation given by the screenwriter is reasonable, but I don't think this is "blackening", at most it is coercion.
And the rumors that Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel were torn apart, and Dwayne Johnson said on social networking sites, "I'm really angry in some scenes, I really fight again", I didn't see it anyway. , There is no scene where the two are facing each other in the film, and it seems that it is more likely to be hype.
This is also the only regret I have watching this film: the three bald heads didn't fight at all.
It doesn't matter if Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel didn't fight, and Jason Statham didn't fight in the prison section. It seems that the screenwriter is determined to let these people form a "new family".
Compared with "Fast 7", there is no star supporting role such as Tony Jaa, and the screenwriter did not prepare a female man for Michelle Rodriguez as an opponent. Except for some rotating shots that absorbed the shooting style of the previous director Wen Ziren, creating a more amazing sense of dizziness, there is really nothing exciting about the fighting scenes in this film.
However, the drag racing scene still makes me feel satisfied.
At the beginning of the drag racing scene in Cuba, Dominic used a scrapped car to beat the Cuban gangster, and finally the front of the car caught fire and rushed to the end by reversing. It feels like the most creative racing scene in this series. (The first few drag racing competitions were really average)
Of course, the climax and finale of the "Fast and Furious" series is never a simple racing game (except for the third part), but let these drivers use cars to do all kinds of difficult stunts. For example, the fifth car pulls a large safe and runs all over the street; the sixth car fights the tank and the plane; the seventh sports car crosses the skyscraper.
In "Fast 8", this kind of creativity is reflected in the New York "zombie car" army in the middle of the film and the finale of the Russian nuclear submarine chase.
Especially in the "Zombie Car" section, where piles of cars flooded the streets, there is a real sense of horror of zombies attacking. It would be better if there were more shots.
The soundtrack of the film is still Brian Taylor, and the soundtracks of commercial blockbusters such as "Fast and Furious", "Now You See Me" and "The Expendables" are all from his hand. The BGM in the climax stage of "Fast 8" still uses the variation of the most classic soundtrack of the fifth part. It seems that the section of the safe is really an unsurpassable classic.
Looking back on the entire "Fast and Furious" series, the feeling is: these drivers have cultivated into superheroes in 16 years.
At first, it was just a group of gangsters hiding from the police and racing cars on the streets of Los Angeles, but now they have become the top 10 most wanted people in the world (except for the funny black brother).
Finally, let's talk about the female villain Cypher played by Charlize Theron, which gives me the feeling that it is more brilliant and full of aggressiveness. Although the conspiracy was foiled at the end of the film, it still managed to escape, and it is estimated that the sequel of the new trilogy will continue to appear.
However, according to the routine of the "Fast and Furious" series, if the sequel wants to have a bigger scene and a more luxurious lineup, it is definitely not enough to play only one villain who was defeated in the previous work. I estimate that the reappearance of Cypher will definitely bring other villains. Allies, let's make trouble for the speeding car family together.
Here's an idea for the cast of the villain's allies. Since both the translator of Long Ma and the savage Redbeard in the "Game of Thrones" crew have joined, let's just let Long Ma's bodyguard Ian Gray also join in.
Ian Gray's villain role in "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" is quite good. It happens that "Biochemical" and "Game of Thrones" have already ended. If he can appear in the new "Fast" trilogy, it will be lively .
