He is what he is. He’s egotistical, but what do you expect of someone obsessed with his physique and popularity? So is Schwarzenegger and people love him. Johnson doesn’t shy away from self-effacing roles, and I like his ability not to take himself too seriously. He always turns in the performance he’s paid for. He is always promoting himself, which I find annoying but I just don’t pay attention to him.
I think he’s nailing the assignment, but if anything, he’s facing audience fatigue, and people are just not excited to see him any more. I’d be there for a new Riddick movie, though, and he’s great in comedic roles. I honestly can’t remember if I saw the last Fast and Furious movie, and I don’t care.
Oops. He’s also interchangeable with Vin Diesel. I thought about Fast and Furious and got my meatheads confused half way through. Vin is the same but takes his work less seriously.
The last Fast and the Furious movie sucked. Everyone felt like they were being held at gunpoint to be in that film except Momoa and Cena, and I think both were fresh to the franchaise. Their scenes were the only worthwhile ones.
That said, it ended on a cliffhanger so they kind of need to make at least one more.
The early ones are pretty good. They start to really go off the rails around 5 or 6, but they were still kind of good fun action with cars. Starting at like, 7 or 8, they started really dunking.
Probably the most annoying bit is how literally every villain ends up becoming a redeemed hero, its stupid.
Everything has just been escalating and escalating. One character (Tyreese) even acknowledged a few times how absurd everything is, almost 4th wall.
My thought was, something happens, and they suddenly wake up and discover they have been trapped in a sort of VR simulation. Then they have to stop the bad guy, but everything is super grounded like the first movie.
Sort of like in Last Action Hero when they escape the movie. Or a bit like Saints Row 4.
The first one is fantastic. 2 is also very good. Toyko Drift is great if you can get over a 24 year old actor playing a high schooler. 5 is a good as an over the top action movie. The rest get progressively worse the newer they get.

I’m sorry, do you think Dwayne Johnson played Riddick?
Dwayne “Vinn The Diesel” Rock
I’m partial to Danhausen’s “Rock the Dwayne Johnson”

I’ve also had a couple of mimosas today.
Jason Mimosas?
I can’t remember the difference between the two either.

Are there any that don’t suck? I never saw any.

Didn’t they literally go into space?
Yes.
In a car.
lol, next you know interstaller travel with a car, and then a multiversal arc.
My sort of pet idea.

There were so many memes about them doing it in the future that it was basically fan service at that point lol
I actually enjoyed the first two as casual action flicks.

I’ll give some a try. Thanks all for the input. It seems I was being excessively negative about the series.
Tokyo Drift is great.
