I have been a fan of the Fast & Furious series from the start. That series was always all about fast cars, the closeness of family, and friends who become family. Probably like most fans, I had a crush on Paul Walker. His death hit the series and fans hard. Still the series maintained their focus on family and fast cars. I was saddened to see the series come to an end.
I did feel some excitement with the spin-off of Hobbs & Shaw. I had fairly high hopes for this new partnerships being carried on by the Rock, Dewayne Johnson and Jason Statham. I just got done watching it, today.
It did have so much action, mainly physical fighting and explosions, as well as beautiful locations.
For me, it was missing the kind of bond of family that you were left feeling when watching the Fast & Furious movies. There was family in this one, but it wasn't the same kind of feel of closeness and warmth one was left feeling. Also, this one didn't feature the epic car/race scenes one had some to expect with the series.
So, I did leave the theater feeling a little let down. I don't expect this series to be as strong and long-lasting as the series it spun from. Although it was a decent start to Hobbs & Shaw.
Love it or hate it?
