Civil War (2024)
This movie should be called "A testament to the stupidity of the human race"
There's no plot at all explaining the events that lead this so called civil war, all you get to know is that there's a civil war (for reasons, literally, unknown), where people continuously kill each other, for no reason whatsoever.
The "story" follows a group of war reporters, that witness all the murder and gruesome crap that keeps happening, as they move from State to State, Those reporters seem so disconnected from reality, that they take photos of their colegues at the exact moment they are being killed, in pursuit of "the right moment".
Waste of a very decent cast, given that the end result is such a disappointing movie.
And there you go, a bunch of people, including the president, get killed for nothing, end of movie, hope you enjoy wasting 2h of your life watching this.
F9 (2021)
The (not so) Fast & The (very) Ridiculous
Vin Diesel plays "himself"... with his "Family"... again...
Really lower your expectations, by a lot, and just assume you're going to watch a comedy movie, that's not funny and has a lot of lame jokes in it, and than, you may be able to enjoy this, a little, anything else, and you'll just be very disapointed.
Compared to the first 3 F&F movies, this one can easily be considered fantasy or science fiction.
Spoilers ahead:
- Somehow, in the first minutes of the movie, they determine that it's possible to escape landmines, if you're driving over them at 80mph, unless you're in the "bad guys team" / real world, than you die.
- Dom's brother Jakob, that is about the same age, but was much smaller than him when they were younger, grows to become almost three times Dom's size when he becomes an adult.
- We all saw Han crash and burn inside his car on Tokyo Drift, there's even a whole movie dedicated to "The Family" avenging his death, and a lot more people die in it, but, in F9, miraculously, Han is comes back to life, because... he didn't die... which makes no sense at all. Maybe Han's girlfriend comes back in F10 as Wonder Woman...
- Apparently, it's possible to install giant magnets in vehicles, and use them to pull cellphones, that are mostly made of plastic and glass, from kids hands... Wait... whaaat...?!?!?!
- Still on the giant magnets subject, on F9, if you install those magnets on a jet fighter, you can catch cars, mid air, with them...
- On F9 cars are as soft as a mattress, so falling on top of them won't hurt you, this is not the first time they've done it, but in this movie, they really over play it, but, if you're one of the bad guys, even if you're bigger and stronger than Dom's Brother, those same cars, become as hard as concrete, and will actually kill you.
- They go to space, using a Pontiac Fiero, that's duct taped to a jet engine and survive, they even make fun about surviving, for as long as they have, without a single scratch.
- At one point, when Dom is easily fighting 20 plus bad guys, it became so ridiculous that, the only thing missing to turn this into a lame superhero movie, was for Thanos or Darkseid to make an appearance...
Most of the movie cast doesn't "act" (most of them are basically playing themselves at this point) in anything else besides FF movies and, I genuinely believe that, because it's such an old franchise, both actors and producers, think that fans will go watch it no matter what, just because it's an FF movie but, ratings and reviews really tell you otherwise this time, making this the worst rated movie of the whole franchise. They really should've stopped while they were ahead, the way I see it, F9 killed the franchise, and it's all downhill from here on.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Good action / comedy flick
Very entertaining movie, well worth your time, IMO it's better than almost all movie from the F&F franchise, except the first one, I really hope they make a sequel of this.
Just Visiting (2001)
Not nearly as bad as I thought
The original is definitely better, but that doesn't make this a bad movie. Also, there are two different versions of this movie (both from 2001 and with the same actors) but I can only find one on IMDb.
Even though many scenes are exactly the same, for instance: when Jean Reno and Christian Clavier arrive in the present, they wreck a wine red 4x4 on the parking of the museum that they call a "Red Dragon" except, in the English version, the radio is playing the song "Macarena".
One of the versions is spoken in french and starts at an inauguration of a medieval saloon and ends with Jean Reno kissing Christina Applegate in a castle window (I like this version better), the other version is spoken in English and begins in the medieval era and ends in "the present" with Christian Clavier and Tara Reid entering Las Vegas on a purple Chrysler Prowler, this last one is the one I consider an "american remake" from the original 1993 french movie Les Visiteurs, still, both are great for many good laughs.
I find it curious the I couldn't find any information about existing more than a version of this movie, anywhere....
