Review of Fast X

Fast X (2023)
5/10
It's hard to believe how outrageous these films have become, but a tiny nugget of charm is still hidden in all the mess.

Sheer ridiculous nonsensical, and a little fun. The Fast and Furious franchise abandoned all reason, with the sixth installment culminating with its journey into space with F9. But Fast X strips all efforts to ground the characters, dialogue, or action making this film a mess of CGI and lunacy. I found myself laughing as cheese dripped from every line of dialogue. The films have become a parody of themselves, but at the same time, they're still fun. It's hard not to respect two decades and 11 movies worth of story and world-building. While Fast X was insane, it was fun having characters across the franchise parade across the screen. All the cameos and callbacks to early entries prop this movie up and keep it from an even lower score. The only reason to watch this movie is if you are a fan of the franchise. Otherwise, just pass.
