The one that always grows Fast & Furious The franchise never ceases to surprise its audience. With the incredible stunts and creative stories they chase. They pull off some of the best heists ever, all using their street smarts and, of course, nitro-filled fast cars. Above all, for these boys, family is most important and not necessarily blood related families; the films also show the importance of the chosen family. But there's a feature film that has it all but doesn't include many of the original family members. That would be The Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. And not to say anything against the family, but we need another Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) adventure

Why 'Hobbs & Shaw 2' is necessary

It's impossible to match the chemistry that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jason Statham have with each other. Their constant bickering and different approaches to solving problems is what makes the couple so great. Bringing these two polar opposites together to defeat the seemingly indestructible Brixton Lore (Idris Elba) works as well as they do you need to do it again in another capacity. The over-the-top action scenes are the cherry on top as they work together to save the world. With the main Fast & Furious the movie ends Hobbs and Shaw 2 it's the perfect way to extend the franchise's legacy to the screen.

What happened in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”?

In case you missed this legendary pairing, here's what happened. Lawman Luke Hobbs and outlaw Deckard Shaw are forced to work together cybernetically enhanced stop Brixton Lore, who wants to release a pathogen that could wipe out half the population. Putting aside their differences and working with Shaw's sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), the trio embark on an adventure to save the world in the ultimate buddy comedy. They fight a multitude of villains in their path and work together to take down probably the only person who could beat them, a cyborg. In an epic fight, these two find that they must work together to defeat Brixton, who evolves into his tactics with each blow.

One of the best scenes in the movie has to be when they find out they will be working together. They throw adult tantrums destroying each other with their words, even though it's almost a fist fight. The disdain these two share is what makes this scene so perfect. They decide to put their petty rivalries aside after a serious talk. The magic that Shaw and Hobbs bring to life is the enemies-to-friends trope. And we wouldn't have it any other way. They are forced to work together and argue constantly. Scenes like the interrogation scene, where they push the limits roasting Brixton while he's shocked and making an even bigger scene as Hattie saves them, they're hilarious. The balance between the comedy, their relationship and the action scenes is so skillfully crafted that it never feels overdone. This balancing act not only impressed the audience but secured a global box office return of $761 million.

What makes the spin-off movie pure Fast and Furious perfection?

The incomparable chemistry between Statham and Johnson sets them apart from each other Fast & Furious movies While Johnson and Vin Diesel they share a similar dynamic, it pales in comparison to the unique bond between Johnson and Statham, especially since Diesel and Johnson don't get along in real life. Shaw and Hobbs, however, complement each other's quirks and idiosyncrasies, often clashing but eventually finding a way to work together. Being so different and having different styles to get the job done is what makes this team perfect. We have Shaw's delicacy and stealth on the one hand, while contrasted with Hobb's bold and brazen way of getting the job done.

One of the distinctive characteristics of the Hobbs and Shaw the universe is smaller, more focused distribution. The main one Fast & Furious The franchise is known for its multitude of characters, which can be overwhelming at times. Each character has their own unique story, but with so many narratives, we either don't get as much depth as we should, or we get lost in the big picture and don't learn as much as we'd like about some of them. of the most secondary characters. However, Hobbs and Shawrevolves around the titular characters, with the addition of Shaw's formidable sister, Hattie. This streamlined approach allows for a more intimate, character-driven narrative, pitting a handful of individuals against each other in the world. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a plus for all the brilliant over-the-top action sequences.

'Hobbs & Shaw' is still about family

In accordance with the family theme that Fast & Furious all the movies have in common, we see cute memories that soften some of the characters' harder edges. Like Deckard and Hattie when they were younger, it's adorable to watch them play together; it's with explosives, but that's not important. The same can be said for Hobbs, who is reunited with his family after turning his back on some of them to further his career. It gives another branch to the family theme by making him amend and strengthen the link he had lost with his family. Hobbs making amends with his family, as well as Deckard, brings them closer and changes their perspectives.

Another key ingredient for Hobbs and Shaw's success is having Dame Helen Mirren appears as Deckard and Hattie's mother, Queenie. He is one of the best characters in the franchise. In all the scenes he is in, the landslide clothes, especially a Hobbs and Shaw. She's imprisoned, but she's still there top of the food chain. She has effortlessly wrapped everyone around her finger, and everyone knows she doesn't underestimate her. Queenie is the ultimate villainso you can see where their kids get it from.

There will always be another villain to take down. And for Statham and Johnson, it sure will be good. Everyone knows them don't get out of bed to fight less than ten guys each when they are not fighting each other. Their banter is legendary, and despite their apparent disdain for one another, they form a genuine friendship. Precisely for this reason the Hobbs and Shaw the universe should go on; they bring a different flavor that other movies just can't replicate. It's something we can't live without.
