FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW

I'll start out by saying that I am not a fan of the FAST & FURIOUS franchise, but since this was a spin-off and it features both Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, I took a flier on it. Statham and Johnson work well together, feeding off of each other in every scene and their banter is very enjoyable. The jokes are hit and miss though. Idris Elba did a nice job as the baddie and while the special effects were good, some of the action was over the top (I know, for spin-off of the FAST & FURIOUS franchise, surprise, right?). Some of it I didn't mind but some of it I thought took away from the movie honestly (see the final showdown between our heroes and the villain). A few good chase and fight scenes make this an enjoyable summer popcorn flick. 6/10
