I like the Fast and Furious series. That is why I had wanted to watch this one in the theater. I booked it after a month it was released in the theaters.
The movie had nothing to do with the usual Fast and Furious series. The car sequences that the series is famous for was missing. They had just one sequence in the climax. That was all. It was just another action flick.
The story line was the usual one - nothing great about it. How many movies have the same plot - saving the world by stopping a deadly virus created by some scientist from ending up in the wrong hands. With the action, they have thrown in some family sentiments - Hobbs with his family and daughter, Shaw with his mother and sister.
I was really disappointed with Statham. Have seen his action movies and had really liked him. He was one of the reasons I had wanted to go and watch this movie. Wondering why he took up this role. He was better than this. Agree with what Hobbs says in the movie- "You have a voice like one of those Harry potter characters".
I did not understand why they had made it a 3D movie. It seemed that they did that just to sell tickets at a higher rate. Had nothing in the movie that really needed a 3D effect. It was actually an overkill.
Having said that, it was a good time pass. Worth watching it once if one wants to just enjoy a good action fast paced movie. And of course, Jason Statham and Dwayne.
