As Tej (played by Ludacris) says in the movie: "as long as we obey the laws of physics, then we'll be fine, okay?"

Yeah, that concept is right out the window in this movie. Literally. But hey, at least this 2021 movie titled "F9" made for some really good laughs.

Granted, I wasn't expecting a whole lot from director Justin Lin's movie here, as the franchise has been one steady downhill ride since after the first movie. And with each movie things become more and more outrageous and out of hand. In fact, by now the movie franchise ought to be renamed into "The Outrageous and Ludicrous".

Still, I had the opportunity to watch "F9", and so I did, as I hadn't already seen it. And yeah, "F9" was as laughable as I had anticipated it.

Actually, Cipher (played by Charlize Theron) actually summarized how I was feeling throughout the entire movie here, with one single line that she uttered in the movie; "you got to be kidding me."

Visually then "F9" was good. Yeah, I will say that much, because the visuals definitely are top notch and help carry the movie, as basically everything else in the movie wasn't doing much for the movie.

And yeah, they had a very impressive cast ensemble for "F9", I will admit that much. What does amaze me, however, is that people on the cast list don't stop up and go "really?" when they read the script. But I guess, a dollar is a dollar, huh?

If you sit down to watch "F9", you have to put aside anything called laws of physics and realism. Because all those concepts are non-existing in this movie. And the abundance of things that was downright laughable and outrageous in "F9" is countless, but at least they provided me with a heap of laughs. Yeah, I couldn't help laugh throughout the majority of this movie, because it was just so bad.

"F9" is a watchable movie, but it is essentially just another testimony to why the "Fast and Furious" franchise should have stopped after "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift".

I am rating "F9" a very bland and mediocre five out of ten stars. This is a movie that left no impressions on me, and it is one that will just quietly fade into oblivion, given its ludicrous over-the-top lack of respect for laws of physics, gravity and realism.

It's not terrible, you just have to be okay with remembering it's a senseless movie. I agree with most of the crappy ratings but I do think it's still an entertaining movie.

I was laughing so hard just 20 minutes in, looking at how fake and unrealistic it was, but then what else would you expect from a fast and furious movie these days. After seeing the previous two movies, nothing surprised me, not even the illogical stunts they pulled. Though they overdid themselves this time, you really need to shut your brain off to enjoy this one because they've turned a racing movie into a superhero movie now. Almost nothing makes sense in the plot or the science behind the action sequences.

The movies are becoming just too stupid. Soon the storyline will be 2 explosions from opposite side of the tracks who fall in love.

It is insulting to the audience. Actors should give their money back for making society even more dumb and primitive. Then ban the writers, director and producers from hollybank.

All that money and budget, probabily 125 writers they hired and they couldnt come up with a movie that would be something above the quality of a toilet cleaner. Actually all commercials,even those 5 second ones, are above this nonsense.

All in all, generic, insultingly dumb, unfunny and a horrible mess.

I usually enjoy this franchise and have seen every movie multiple times. Unfortunately F9 was the most ridiculous, unbelievable, far fetched nonsense I've ever seen. It was so dumb to the point that I wasn't entertained. Talk about disappointing.

I've heard so many jokes about the physics in F9 thinking they were just overexaggerating, but no, it's really that bad. F&F is known for going crazier and crazier with each entry, but I think it's gone too far for its own good. Not one action scene entertained me; none of the scenes were creative, they were just dumb. Some may find enjoyment from how ridiculous it is, but I was just left unimpressed.

And the story was exactly the same as the last few F&F movies. They're so similar that you can literally predict what happens if you've recently watched F8 or F7. F&F has gone so far from it's roots that I've given up on the franchise. At least give one spin-off for the car guys and OG fans, maybe something similar to the first three F&Fs, it'll hurt nobody, Universal.

This movie is just really bad. Tons of plot holes, ridiculous action scenes, and a story that disgraces what F&F used to be. As a huge and longtime fan of the franchise, I have now lost faith. This film is a disgrace, and I refuse to believe that John Cena is Dominic Toretto's brother.

That this movie is marginally more interesting than me.

The divorce is final next month.

Look, it's not winning any awards, but 5.2 (at the moment) is very misguiding. The action scenes are so crazy and over the top that they'll make you laugh and if you dont you need to loosen up a bit. There are a few lulls which doesn't hurt the movie but damn, some of the action scenes were so ridiculous in the best way. At no point did it feel too long and I was never bored. I did see this in a larger theatre though and I can see it not being such a spectacle if you dont have a decent home theatre setup

The story surprised me and had a few genuinely emotional moments, Vin was the best he's been in a while and john cena surprised me in this, I can see him getting a few big budget starring roles out of this. Tyrese is lucky they're keeping him around, the dude is straight up not funny., only times I laughed at him was how bad his one liners were...ludacris on the other hand has a few funny moments

If you can turn your brain off and enjoy a big budget over the top action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously then it's worth a watch.

The score of 5.2 is just unfair for how entertained I was.

I'm someone who's continued enjoy these films even as they've increasingly gone off the rails. F9 is where I think I've reached my breaking point.

The stunts aren't even crazy anymore, they're just stupid. It's gotten impossible to care about what's happening because anyone who dies comes back to life. There are no stakes. They're also basically superheroes at this point, which they even reference in the film.

The magnets. My god the magnets. I don't even know what to say other than the logic and consistency of how the magnets work is flabbergasting.

This isn't to say everything is bad. Cena is a fun villain, even though the flashback scenes for his character are cringe. The music is still great. Lin's direction is solid. The themes still resonate, but are becoming increasingly meme-able.

I feel like a 6 is generous here and is mostly based on my previous enjoyment of this franchise. I hope this series can course correct or find a good ending because they're throttling towards a cliff.

Just utter garbage. To say this movie was written and made by a 12 year old is an insult to a 12 year old. This franchise needs to end now.

This franchise was about street racing and now all of a sudden after 8 installments its about the same crew of below average actors trying to save the world from evil. If you want to see a bunch of people saving the world with their anti-physics and doent-make-any-sense sort of stunts, i'd recommend you put your 30 dollars on something like Batman or Superman because this film is wrong in so many ways that i dont even know from where to start.

Just please stop it! That's unbelievable and we really sick of this, and we all know that you sick of this too, and you guys just make it to get earnings and a F money , but please we DON'T WANT MORE.

I felt compelled to write this review one hour into the movie (couldn't carry on for obvious reasons)... We all knew the franchise was steadily worsening but this one takes the cake. I don't think you can make something utterly ridiculous even on purpose.

Only question I would like to ask the cast is do they actually care about F&F like we the fans do/did or was it just a big lie right from the start?

A person with some kind of self-esteem wouldn't embarrass him/herself this way.

P. S. Charlize, I keep having nightmares about that haircut.

I get it, this movie has a lot of logic loops but it never fails to entertain. I enjoyed every scene and it was a fun ride.

The opening scene was the standout , the first 30 minutes was epic. It's crazy and was fun to watch. The story was much better than the previous movies, a good plot but the action scenes ruined it.

John Cena did a really good job but he was invisible throughout the movie. Dom was just punching in the air. The action scenes were crazy and dumb but you'll enjoy it. Fast and Furious still hasn't lost it's touch, it's just getting crazier!!

I see all these reviews about how over the top this is and how ridiculous it is to have cars (one car!) in space....

....the FF series has been about impossible and ludicrous car stunts for quite some time. If you enjoyed F5-8, then you won't be disappointed with this one. Suspend disbelieve and it is a fun ride. I am certainly looking forward to the next one!

How does John The Chin Cena keep getting work? Why does Michelle Rodriquez always look like she thinks she caught the smell of a fart and she's trying to figure out where it came from.? How many bullets does a good guy clip for an AK hold? It must be a few hundred.. And when going top speed does switching gears and stomping on the gas pedal really make you that much faster? And who writes this crap and how do I get a gig like this?
