Louis Leterrier's Fast X is a decent blockbuster, but it proves multiple times that Universal and Vin Diesel's The Fast Saga needs to finally end.
The Fast Saga needs to end, and Fast X proves that. Vin Diesel returns as Dominic Toretto on the big screen in Louis Leterrier's first entry in the car-centric franchise. Despite a tumultuous production, which included the abrupt departure of F9 helmer, Justin Lin due to creative differences, Fast X ultimately delivers on its promise of a fun time at the theaters.
While a $700 million global haul isn't exactly bad, it's quite disappointing for The Fast Saga, given how it has performed at the box office in recent years. Another factor to consider is Fast X's massive budget of $340 million. In comparison, Marvel Studios' most packed film, Avengers: Infinity War, only spent $300 million on production, and earned more than $2 billion.
That being said, The Fast Saga cannot keep this ruse for much too long as highlighted in Fast X. It's absurd that even Mia gets involved as Dante comes after them and Brian remains missing in action. For what it's worth, it's uncharacteristic for him to just sit back and not do anything when his dear friends are in dire situations.
Being retrospective makes sense since The Fast Saga is starting to culminate. That being said, if a full movie's plot hinges fully on its predecessors, then it's starting to feel like the franchise no longer has any original idea. Momoa is fantastic in the role of Dante in Fast X, but this kind of revenge storyline has been done in The Fast Saga before with the Shaw brothers. It would have been better if the movie focused on new elements rather than leaned on The Fast Saga's past.
