And I haven't even seen the first one.
First 1 was bad like, but I like the boy Statham, this was just horrific from start to finish.
I spent the last 30minutes browsing the internet.
Mate if you want a laugh you need to watch strays , I took 2 kids in my care to watch it last week … I was mortified

I’m also quite partial to Jason’s movies…
They stuck him with The Rock in those godawful Fast and the Furious films. But it’s the only the later films and apparently they have great acting chemistry together.
Can’t bring myself to watch that franchise though.
The last Fast was just stupid, just utterly ridiculous, Aquaman dude was mildly entertaining, but it was just off the chain stupid.
Hobbs and Shaw won't be winning any Oscars, but I enjoyed it, I couldn't honestly recommend it tho, so you are wise to give them a miss.

Well, it’s all about reboots and crossover movie franchises now.
I heard that they were toying with the notion of remaking ‘Driving Miss Daisy’, but with Jason Statham reprising his role as the Transporter to be her driver.
So it’ll be Transporter 4, but at the same time, the ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ remake.
I’d watch it…
Watched a few things on the plane.
65: Adam Driver crash lands on earth 65 million years ago and has to fight dinosaurs to get to his escape pod. It's the "Man struggling with the death of his own daughter fights tooth and nail to rescue the other survivor of the ship (a child just like his daughter)" trope. I like Driver, and he does his best here, but this was way too earnest considering the basic premise. 3/10
Lord of the Rings (first and second one): Never watched these in their entirety before, as I don't like LOTR. I still don't. The good: The movies weren't bad, and some of the scenes and sets are genuinely astounding. McKellen is absolutely fantastic as Gandalf
The bad: The general story. I'm not a big fan of magic and destiny themes in films, they give rise to too many overly flexible plot devices that are often ignored or discarded depending on the situation and I just couldn't engage with a lot of this. The acting was mostly rubbish with the exception of McKellen and Serkis, I actually laughed at Elijah Moore in places and Orlando Bloom put in his usual vortex of a performance that could barely be described as 2 dimensional. I can't say they were terrible films, they are certainly technical feats with some great moments, but I probably won't watch the third one, as they fulfilled their role of killing hours on the plane. 5/10

Don’t tell @Nymzee, LOTR is like gospel to him!
Do you want me to poke a huge hole in the plot for you? You know that giant eagle that saves Gandolf after he’s getting his arse kicked by Saruman?
Why didn’t they just take one of those to Mordor to destroy the ring? It would have been quicker and safer. I mean isn’t the whole fate of middle earth dependant on it?! You’re telling me that idea never crossed the mind of a thousand year old wise wizard?!?
I don’t know… Maybe I’m just getting cynical in my old age.

The Fellowship can't ride eagles to Mordor because of the giant, flying snake-dragon monsters ridden by One-Ring-sensing warrior kings and their half-mile-wide aura of fear.Don’t tell @Nymzee, LOTR is like gospel to him!

Eagles didn't want to fly over Mirkwood due to the darkness they felt growing in those woods. Second, the Eagles were disliked by the men of Dale and Laketown because they ate sheep and other livestock, and so the bowmen tried to shoot them down whenever possible
And thats before you encounter a whole army of orcs.
Honestly, fly the eagles to Mordor? never heard such nonsense.

Holy crap! And a good morning to you too mate! I’m sure Gandolf could have whipped up a cloaking spell or something…The Fellowship can't ride eagles to Mordor because of the giant, flying snake-dragon monsters ridden by One-Ring-sensing warrior kings and their half-mile-wide aura of fear.

Or they could have found another easier way to travel. I mean, they walked… Literally three movies about a bunch of people walking to a volcano.
I mean, for goodness sake, even the trees walked in those movies!
