Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw

"It’s a sci-fi comedy action mashup that gets the tone all wrong, squandering the giddy casting of the two action behemoths it has as leads. There was magic in this franchise for a while, but its gas tank of goodwill is slowly being drained and Hobbs & Shaw pushes it dangerously close to empty."

"It turns out that whittling the series' rapidly bulging dramatis personae down to two guys who hate each other can be strangely liberating."

"Fan favorites Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham milk the friction between their characters while teaming up to save the world in this gratuitously over-the-top spinoff."

"A fervently brainless delight"

"So good on ya', Hobbs and Shaw, you did what the trailer promised and more – you didn't stint on the action or effects and you sent this hack home happy enough to have watched you. I couldn't really ask for more."

"Johnson and Statham keep the action and laughs spinning. The problem is they keep repeating them - stunt, banter, stunt - until they wear out their welcome."

"It will never bring about world peace or end poverty, but it might just deliver a few hours distraction from how bloody long, cold and miserable winter can be."

"Crazy action, and lots of it."

"It's neither particularly fast nor furious, but it's a goofy good time if you can settle into its boofhead charms."
