Damn what did they do?
It took me a while to discover the Fast and Furious series but now having watched all of the movies I really can't wrap my head around what happened with this one ... A car in space seriously? Franchise did get more and more absurd, but man did they overstep it here. It's so ridiculous that it makes even the action pretty unwatchable ...
Don't get me started about the story, it's messy and makes very little sense. Sometimes I didn't know what was going on. Also how can they introduce Dom's brother in the 9th!!! Movie of the series when Dom always said "You never turn your back on family" when he did exactly that as they introduce his brother's back story. Overall I also feel like the villains here are very bad too, never liked Cipher here probably the worst version of her ...
And why do they keep bringing back characters after killing them of? Seeing Han back there just made me feel so betrayed after what I saw in all these previous movies ... Also this guy called Otto feels so cheezy and the "twist" that he turns his back on Jakob was not very surprising even tho they clearly intended it to be
Overall just aweful to see what they made out of this franchise, I wish this movie didn't exist. - alekspredator87 - 26 October 2023
How many of them were there - and will there be the last one?
20 years. The term is long. For a series of films, it's generally sky-high. It is hardly possible to find some kind of saga that is so successfully kept afloat after so many years. "Fast and Furious" is one of the record holders, a series of films that always attracts. But. There must be a "But". Attracts with a giant caveat. If you want to watch a pretentious summer blockbuster with a bunch of vague "well-staged dialogues, with a ton of jokes "for 200", with absolutely insane physics in the frame, then this movie is clearly suitable. On the one hand, it's good, but on the other, it's terrible.
The series was famous for its street racing drive: nitrous oxide, the hum of engines, bright music and interesting stories. The success of the screenwriters brought each subsequent picture to a new level, but by the ninth iteration, the gasoline saga had clearly gone somewhere into the wild, absolutely spitting on realism and, it seems, on scenario moves. The creators offer a new story, but it differs little from the previous ones. A new dangerous antagonist appears, ready to get even with Dominic Toretto and his loved ones once and for all, and the heroes will have to save themselves, save at least the world, and at most the galaxy. Corny. But again, all this must be taken in order to enjoy the film. You're watching Fast and Furious 9, so get ready in advance for a really beautiful action, but don't bother with the rest. And this formula works. It is she who allows you to treat the picture condescendingly. And this is not bad in principle. After all, you immerse yourself in a fantastic story for a couple of hours and just watch something explode around you, characters chase cool cars (and not only), and in general something fascinating happens on the screen.
The actors have already become familiar. You know what to expect and from whom. Both from acting and from the characters. Few of them are already developing. Everything seems to be static. One pretentiously speaks in a low bass, the other tries to joke constantly, the third shows that she is still that strong person, and so on. Something outstanding should not be expected.
The production is good. That's what the guys know how to do, so it's surprising with the variety and abundance of pleasant visual. For fans of colorful frames and explosive sounds, this movie is definitely suitable.
"Fast and Furious 9" loudly celebrates the 20th anniversary of the franchise, but in the picture there is little left of those first stories that are so warmly remembered today. The film becomes another bridge between the eighth and tenth parts of this high-octane series, but, in my personal opinion, is one of the worst parts. You should definitely watch it if you want to be transported into the world of action and fantasy, but something deep and important can no longer be found here.

I expected better.
Fast & Furious 9 offers a disappointing experience compared to its previous films. While action scenes are plentiful, the story and character development fall short. The plot feels disjointed and overly exaggerated, with some scenes defying logic. Relationships between characters and emotional aspects are treated superficially, diminishing the overall viewing pleasure.
The contribution of new characters and plotlines to the story remains limited. Moreover, the intensity of the action is so high that it diminishes the impact of emotional moments. Visual effects sometimes appear overly exaggerated and artificial. Instead of establishing a compelling pace, the film distracts with meaningless action scenes.
Fast & Furious 9 struggles to satisfy its fans as it departs from the original essence of the series. It stands out as the weakest link in the long-running franchise. - nffc-48863 - 1 January 2023
Unbelievable, even for this series
I can only presume the waiters and producers were taking vast amounts of acid during this production. My family of four were laughing so hard we had tears streaming down our faces. Have they run out of ideas?
Even my 12 and 9 year olds were saying that some of the stunts were laughable and that's when you know that they have gone too far. This could have been somewhat decent with some moderation but they decided to go for it. If this was a joke I don't think anyone gets it. If there are any more instalments we won't be rushing out to see it. Some of these movies have been very enjoyable but that have gone out with a fizzle this time. - wackoreviews - 14 September 2022
WE'RE IN SPACE NOW?!
The ninth instalment of the Fast and Furious saga talks about Dom Toretto who is living the quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, but they know that danger always lurks just over the peaceful horizon. This time, that threat forces Dom to confront the sins of his past to save those he loves most. His crew soon comes together to stop a world-shattering plot by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they've ever encountered -- Dom's forsaken brother (played by John Cena).
Eventhough some of its events and scenes aren't very necessary, the movie is very entertaining and fast-paced. The action sequences are still super cool but some are unrealistic, as the fiction has increased in this movie compared to the previous movies. The chasing/racing scense, which are what the movie franchise is famous for, are pretty good but could be better at the same time.
The main plot is pretty weak however, its nice to see some of Dom's back-story and his relationship with his late father. The comedy is really good and is perfectly timed. It's also pretty emotional, especially with the music. The movie, as I mentioned, is also very unrealistic. How one guy beat tens of men shooting at him without getting hit, Han's survival, and reaching space with a car attached to some rockets are some of many illogical things that happened in the movie. However, I didn't find that aspect a very big problem. Afterall, the movie is not meant to be realistic, it's meant to be an entertaining and action packed movie.
The cast still has that same great chemistry from the previous parts. Additionally, Charlize Theron, who returns to reprise her role as Cipher, is very intimidating in this movie.
Eventhough the movie is pretty illogical and its not the best from the franchise, it is still very entertaining and funny all throughout.
Score: 7/10. - neo-alive - 14 August 2022
Bad bad movie
Please stop making any sequels. This is the worst of all f&f movies. A lot of computer animation. Bad acting, bad dialogs. In total it should get -10 stars. What a waste of time and money.
