    Wow Jason Momoa is AWFUL in this movie. Plot was already dumb but his joker style acting was just off putting. Worst movie of the franchise. I did like Reacher in the film he had great presence

    As a fan of Fast and Furious, this part really disappointed me. A movie about chasers turned into a sci-fi movie that doesn't focus on racing at all. The real F&F ended with part 7. I have nothing more to say, the movie was fun, but not what it should've been.

    It opens with family and barbecue... and revenge. The Fast & Furious franchise has become very proficient at making big budget, high octane action movies with plots that are clear and coherent. The main fault is that they often get so absurd that it's impossible to take it seriously, but that might be a blessing in disguise because it forces the plot into being kept simple and mostly straight-forward. This installment mostly follows those patterns... and then it ends and there is no family, there is no barbecue, and the story goes into the void.

    Irredeemably silly. Ludicrous GCI, daft plot, puerile characterisation ..... a real low point for the franchise.

    This movie was absolutely terrible. Stuff just happens with no explanation whatsoever. The cgi is God awful. The kid is terrible. Jason mamoa's joker esq performance is laughably bad. Such over acting from mamoa. The tough girls kicking ass is just ridiculous. I just couldn't with this movie. Skip it. If this is where there going with this series, miss me.

    "Fast X" is the highly anticipated tenth film in the "Fast and Furious" franchise. This movie is action packed and turns back to its racing roots for a solid chunk of the movie. That being said, it does contain an extensive amount of violence, especially for a Fast and Furious movie. While definitely not a Christian movie in any regard, it does have some good strong messages about the importance of family, putting others first and sacrifice. First Media Key: Balance Balance is not a word that doesn't seem to be in director Louis Leterrier's vocabulary. I know that might seem harsh but there is little to no balance in this film. There is a huge amount of unnecessary violence and only a couple of dialogue scenes. Now while this is an action movie, "Fast X" does stray away from the balance that was seen in the first couple of films in the franchise. In the article it says "However, what I do find troubling with this latest chapter is the foul language, the increased amount of sexualized content (including sexualized females), and the violence for the film has certainly increased". Second Media Key: Attitude Awareness This movie doesn't require one to watch it with a strong awareness of their attitude. This movie will actually most likely change your attitude in regards to family, in a good way. This movie is all about family, or familia as Dom Toretto, the main character likes to say. Whether your attitude towards the topic of family is good or bad, you will leave this movie knowing that blood is in fact thicker than water. Third Media Key: Dignity of the Human Person While I am a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise, they unfortunately do not do a good job in fulfilling this media key. And "Fast X" is not an exception. Throughout the movie, there are multiple situations where someone is knocked out cold and then shot. Shooting the person is unnecessary within those situations because being knocked out, they wouldn't have posed any threat. By shooting the already knocked out person, there is a lack of respect for the dignity of the person. There is also a scene somewhat early on in the movie where the villain Dante, props up the dead bodies of two people that he's killed and is painting their nails. This is a very disturbing scene because not only is it kind of graphic, but there is an extreme lack of respect for human dignity. Fourth Media Key: Truth-filled This movie isn't the most truth-filled film out there by a long shot. However, it does have some very impactful familial truths. For example, there is the continuous truth throughout the whole film series that family doesn't turn their back on family, especially when times get tough. This is one of the main elements of family life. Another truth that is seen in the movie is we are all family. Looking at this from a Catholic standpoint, we are all family in the sense that we are all part of the family of God. Fifth Media Key: Inspiring This movie is definitely inspiring in regards to family. In the movie, Dom Toretto delivers lines like "Family defines us. By blood or by bond, family is a powerful thing". But Toretto is more of a man of action than of words; and that is seen very clearly throughout the film. He throws himself over members of his team when something explodes, he taunts the villain to chase after him instead of his family(his team), he wraps his son up in his arms and takes the brunt of the impact when thrown from a car, etc. This movie will definitely inspire one to appreciate, support and love one's family more. Sixth Media Key: Skillfully Developed Although this film may not fulfill some of the other media keys, it most definitely fulfills this one. This film was developed with the Fast and Furious franchise fans as the target audience. This movie was one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year because of its continuation of the series. Similarly to the "Barbie" movie, this film really plays on the nostalgia that this series set with its first film back in 2001. Many characters are brought back and many are revealed to be alive and well, when thought to be dead. When the movie came to an end and the credits rolled, theaters were filled with applause and cheers. Seventh Media Key:Motivated by and relevant to experience While on the surface this movie does not seem to be relevant to experience, when looked at more closely it actually is. Throughout the course of this movie, Toretto is faced with the decision of whether to put himself first or his family. And of course, as seen in the previous films, he immediately chose his family. This is relevant because at some point in our lives, we have been faced with the same choice. It is also relevant because of the self-sacrificing aspect. Toretto and his team members are seen being willing to sacrifice themselves in order to save/help others. This is something that all of us have experienced, maybe not in circumstances as extreme as the one shown in the film, but similar nonetheless. Additionally, as mentioned for the previous media key, Leterrier uses the fact that this is the tenth film in the series to really play on the audience's nostalgia. Although this film is skillfully developed and inspiring amongst many things, I wouldn't recommend it as a movie to watch with the family or as a good moral movie to watch. Leterrier does a good job at continuing the Fast and Furious franchise when remaining somewhat loyal to its original racing roots. I think that my review of this film would be appreciated by some people and not by others because I was honest and tried not to sugarcoat anything. There will most likely be a large number of people who disagree with me because a good chunk of people who watched this movie are Fast and Furious fans. Others will appreciate it because I give my honest review and I look at this film from a moral standpoint.

    This movie was so insanely stupid. The acting was half hearted and the plot was insulting. I like Momoa, but his talent was wasted here. I could see what he was going for, it just didn't work. There are plenty of movies that are enjoyable as long as you can switch off your brain - this isn't one of them. Brain on or off, it sucked.
