It is difficult for an action movie to be too over the top, especially with the likes of the Rock and Jason statham considering that is what you expect from this type of movie and cast. However, this particular film may be a little too overblown. The plot is decent as are the special effects, but the biggest dislike I have with this film is how unrealistic nearly everything in it is. It is made almost more like an avengers movie then a fast and furious movie, with space age technology and motorcycles that are basically transformers. Idris elba's character is essentially the black panther and can move and jump just as he can in an inhuman fashion. There are a few scenes in it where you have to do huge leaps of logic for the film to make sense. In one instance the antagonist hacks every single media source on the planet somehow to make Hobbs and Shaw look like terrorists. Not only would this be impossible but they provide no explanation for how they achieved this. There is a scene toward the end of the movie where it is night time and then it suddenly is day time and back to night time all in the same fight sequence. Although I was pleased with the ending and the Samoa aspect which partially redeemed the film for me.
