Another F&F movie that’s stupidly entertaining if you can meet it at its wavelength. They toned down some of the dramatic undertones and over the top antics from the last ones, which I think was drastically needed. Momoa is a blast to watch, his mannerisms do indeed feel inspired by Ledger’s Joker. In fact, I liked most of the new additions, even someone like Brie Larson is a lot more fun here than anything else I’ve seen her in. However, it’s having a hard time balancing all of its characters and storylines (did we need this convoluted mini sidequest/_Infinity War_-esque set-up?). Sometimes you really feel that any breathing room has been taken out of the edit to make it as tight as possible. It’s not incomprehensible, but I really hope they make something more focussed for the next part. It’s F&F, this should thrive on simplicity. Everything else is the same old recipe. It’s a string of imaginative set pieces (loved the bit in Rome) and other entertaining scenes filled with bad acting, normie trap rap, great sound design, soap opera dialogue, lots of production value, fun comedy, plot twists to roll your eyes at and Vin Diesel mumbling about family inbetween.

5.5/10
