I wonder if Keanu is the new big bad for the next Fast and Furious movie too or just setting him up for Hobbs and Shaw 2
So what did everyone think?
Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed. Dunno what I was expecting, but this fell short of that
I plan on seeing it again but I think the Rock and Statham's chemistry was hit or miss some of the jokes fell flat. and it didn't help that they were no-selling each other's feats half the time. Gotta say this movie could've used a lot more Kevin Hart.
I really enjoyed it. The not so smart guns fixed the major reservation I had from the trailer.
So is the real killer of Han revealed or no? Never mind.
It's still Shaw isn't it? Although he seems to have been 'redeemed'. (Fast 8 basically retconned it as Charlize Theron's Cipher making the brothers evil).

Yeah, and basically 4-6 is a prequel to Tokyo Drift as well, as Han becomes part of the team and his death is retconned from an accident to deliberate (and Letty's cross is added in). Vin's cameo in Tokyo Drift is worked into 7's plot with even Lucas Black returning to connect the dots. (The film uses some stock footage from TD so there's kind of a bit of a continuity error with the physical appearences of Black and Diesel).

So yeah, Vanessa Kirby as Catwoman. Pretty please!!
Link? Cause Google searches are turning up why Leitch, in his own words, didn't include Reeves.
It all stemmed from the fact that we had talked to Keanu early on. It was even before where we ended up with this draft. I had been talking to Keanu periodically through the shooting of it all and looking for opportunities of where it could be. I also wanted to make sure that it was enough — a real promise for something legitimate in the future — and wasn’t just a stunt casting role. We started to populate the movie with all these other personalities, and I just didn’t really think that we needed it, although I would’ve loved it. We even talked in post, and I showed him a rough cut of the movie. Then, we had conversations about “is there something here?” We came to the conclusion of “let’s put a pin in it.” I’m all for finding opportunities, but I also didn't want to force anything. The mystery at the end of the movie where the Eteon director is nameless and faceless seems perfect for our ending because we had so much story we’ve already told.
I didn't know about this rumor till this very thread...so when I saw the movie (Saturday afternoon) I was thinking the Director was either Han or Mr. Nobody.
When Shaw said there were shameful things he'd done he still needed to atone for, was anyone else thinking he probably meant those 90s pop videos where he dances in his trolleys covered in baby oil/silver paint?
Ya know, now that I know both actors had a 'equal punches' clause in their contract, I know why this movie fell flat for me.
Frankly, Brixton wasn't nearly as bad ass as he should have been, and the fights leading up to the main one were underwhelming compared to what they could have been.
I remember Bruce Willis getting all kinds of messed up in Die Hard(s) and only looking more bad ass for it, but these guys don't have the guts to bleed :P
