    I was excited for 9 just because of Lin returning, but I never got around to catching up with 8 as I didn’t have the time, so as a consequence I never caught 9. But now with Justin Lin having walked off 10, that makes me think that coming back for 9 probably wasn’t worth it. Sounded like it was just a career decision to go back to the well in order to make other films down the line. I look forward to when we hear more accurate details on what made Lin walk off, but I’m sure it has a lot to do with Vin Diesel.

    I completely agree. 7 is where it should have stopped; 8 is where they started to jump the shark. The space scene in 9 is where I felt utterly insulted. It's tough to be insulted by films like these but somehow 9 managed. 5 is the best of the series, in my opinion.

    They are really trying to push the nostalgia with these trailers...





    On leave for a week so will try to watch my copy of F9 still not seen it lol Pretty sure I bought it in 4K.

    FAST X: Fast & Furious 10 Teaser Trailer (2023)


    That's a lot of cast.

    Full trailer should be arriving in a couple of hours. I hope it’s awesome but if it’s another goofy looking CGI overload, count me out.

    Just watched the trailer, it looks totally overblown and CG heavy. I like Mamoa though not sure he can pull off being a villain. Plus if we get a Fast 11 we know Mamoa will join the family lol

    I will say there's more grounded action in that trailer than there was in the entirety of F9 but the CGI is still aplenty and rough, and that retcon is laughably poor. Not buying Momoa here at all, I'm afraid - and you're probably right, he'll be buddy buddy with them by the end, haha. Happens to nearly every villain in this series.

    Yeah the retcon of I think Fast 5 was lame plus The Rock surely should be in this one if they are referencing that film so much. The CGI when Mamoa was stood behind the hole where the safe smashed through very dodgy.

    I only saw it once but is the idea here that:
    Momoa's character is Reyes' son and was actually present during the vault heist yet we somehow didn't see him, and that he even survived the car crashing into the ocean?

    If so, that's stunning.

    Looks slightly better than 8 and 9 but...that CGI. X_X

    Vin Diesel wants 'Avengers' star Robert Downey Jr. in 'Fast and Furious 11' as a villain 'promoting AI and driverless cars'
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insider.com/vin-diesel-robert-downey-jr-avengers-fast-and-furious-11-2023-2?amp
    That's actually quite laughable as Dom is constantly driving CGI cars :))

    Didn't they already take the "AI is bad" route in a previous installment? This series really should've ended with 7.

    Looks utterly daft. I'm more interested in a Hobbs & Shaw sequel. I really look back fondly on the fifth film (which should have been the end, I feel) so the trailer was incredibly offputting.

    With The Rock busy these days and Statham appearing here, I'm guessing that sequel is never coming, sadly.

    I will say that it looks better than Fast 9 (not that that's saying much - that film was dreadful even by Vin Diesel standards). Even for all of 8's absurdity it's the perfect example of a "just turn off your brain and have fun" type of film. Likewise with Hobbs and Shaw. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't go see this, but I agree with the consensus that the Fast Five retcon is laughable and Momoa seems a lackluster villain.

    I saw rumors of a Gal Gadot appearance but hopefully it's just the stock footage from Fast Five. I don't think my brain cells can handle anymore retcons.

    It honestly wouldn't be so bad if ol' Vinnie Boy there didn't preach about these films as if he's the next Coppola or Scorsese.

    @Ryan, that's how I felt after seeing the trailer - didn't blow me away but it certainly looks better than its predecessor, not that that's saying too much.

    They're clearly going retcon city with the villain so I really hope they don't try to bring her back too. It's annoying when death means nothing in most films and shows anymore.
