news culture A disappointing Fast X, but with an actor who levitates? The first reactions are not really flattering
Is Fast X, the final Fast & Furious, the best installment in the saga? The first opinions have fallen and they are more than mixed.
Fast X is already under fire from the critics
The Fast & Furious saga has never met with critical acclaim, it has to be said that the major show series is often viewed as a Nanar who doesn’t take himself seriously and is content to chain together action sequences to appeal to as many people as possible. However, some episodes were still better received by film journalists than others. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case with Fast X, the final episode in the series.
Almost But as we suspected, the critical world hasn’t been very kind to the film so far. And If Rotten Tomatoes hasn’t yet provided a well-defined average of all of these returns, some reviews have fallen… and they’re mind-blowing.
Jason Momoa steals the show
For Germain Lussier, journalist, Fast X is easily the worst episode of the saga which premiered in 2001. For him, the beginning is good, as is the whole first part, but the whole thing quickly fails due to decisions that are not very credible.
Just seen #FastX again and I stand by my dislike. Full review on Wednesday but I have to say the first 3rd works pretty well before it completely falls apart. And when a surprise celebrity makes an appearance and drugs a character for no reason, everything is broken beyond repair. pic.twitter.com/lIV93LOWZc

However, as many journalists point out, Germain Lussier says so anyway The film is worth seeing, at least for its great villain.
Played by Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones), this big villain named Dante Dom steals the show from Vin Diesel’s character.

For Kirsten Acuna, also a journalist, Fast X is a “roller coaster ride of non-stop action”. For them it is a success and Once again, everything is sublimated by Jason Momoa, who clearly made more than a good impression.
Despite this mixed reception and the fact that everything seems to be resting on Jason Momoa’s shoulders, will you still make an appointment with this new Fast & Furious on the occasion of its theatrical release on May 17?
