F9 is pretty good fun, perhaps because it rarely slows down, except to make the odd joke about road safety.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2024

This is a movie that openly engages the viewers’ sensation more than their intellect. And in that regard, the film largely succeeds.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 31, 2024

When car mayhem and traveling to space become dull, you know you've made a wrong turn.

While not the best in the franchise, it truly might be the wildest. It’s entertaining, it’s stupid, but it’s got family. Family is the heart & soul here once again

F9 takes its ridiculously absurd action sequences to intolerably nonsensical levels, all while trying to tell an overlong, messy, unimaginative story surrounding one of the most generic cliches.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 25, 2023

The action scenes fall flat - almost every single one of them - and the CGI looks like it was borrowed from Sharknado. The dialogues are painfully awkward, and the script should've been burned by the first person who read it.

...a predictably broad premise that’s employed to periodically watchable yet mostly underwhelming effect...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 19, 2023

I can’t help but wonder why Fast and Furious 9 would not have sufficed as the title here. At least 2 Fast 2 Furious has a goofy pizzazz to it. Naming conventions aside, the most recent entry does nothing to take the series in a new direction...

As a theatre-going experience, I can’t recommend F9: The Fast Saga enough.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 13, 2023

F9 is one or two too many explosions and one or two too many quips away from achieving its goal of as an action flick with an intriguing plotline and stalls out as an overly self-aware stunt fest with a storyline you wish you had more time with.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 16, 2023

To be fair things like logic, reality, even physics simply don’t apply to these movies. You have to turn off a portion of your brain and let some obvious questions and concerns drift off into the ether.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2022

If you hate the logic smashing exploits of muscle-bound gearheads, theres nothing here to convince you otherwise. However, for the many people who made this one of the biggest franchises in the world, it delivers the outrageous nonsense you paid to see.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2022

At heart, this still carries everything this franchise is known and loved for and continues to show that there are more miles left in this already impressively long franchise.

| Feb 22, 2022

The most daring entry in the franchise that is almost impossible not to walk away from with a massive smile on your face.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 12, 2022

At its very best, there's something positively life-affirming about F9, the fifth Fast & Furious movie directed by Justin Lin.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 21, 2021

Maybe it matters not, but the impulse to pump hype, hot air, bum warmers and a full rack of ribs into something - whether a movie theatre or Vin Diesel, so that it is barely recognizable from its former, more modest self - is everywhere...

| Nov 9, 2021

Overall, Fast & Furious 9 is a bloated disappointment that tries too hard to be serious and silly and I hate to say this - this ninth film is the worst entry I've ever seen since 2009's Fast & Furious 4.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2021

Physics? Bah! Who needs it? 'F9' is gloriously brash and stupid, like eighteen different Saturday morning cartoons mashed into an amorphous ball of idiocy. This is a compliment.

| Sep 17, 2021

The explanation for Han's survival is as nonsensical as the caper that sends Roman and Tej where no F&F cast member has gone before, if you catch my (Tokyo) drift.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 10, 2021

The important thing is to have as many ingredients as possible, no matter how well they combine with each other. More is more; caution is for cowards. [Full review in Spanish]
