Hobbs & Shaw (2019) | Review Megathread


Rotten Tomatoes: 77%, with averages 6.18 out of 10 and 34 Reviews Counted.Critics Consensus: Hobbs & Shaw doesn't rev as high as the franchise's best installments, but gets more than enough mileage out of its well-matched stars and over-the-top action sequences.Metacritic: 61 out of 100 with 18 Reviews CountedWritten ReviewsThe film's highly elaborate physical scenes and innumerable effects reflect the money said to have been spent, and they mostly pay off in action that's both visceral and amusing.Todd McCarthy - The Hollywood ReporterMake no mistake: “Hobbs & Shaw” is fun, but it’s so ludicrously over-the-top, it makes the comic-book logic of your average Marvel movie look reasonable by comparison.Peter Debruge - VarietyHobbs & Shaw is an action movie as a meme; the entire film is a self-effacing wink at the audience. It delivers to us what we want in a movie where Johnson and Statham are filmed 85% of the time in slow-motion: good dumb fun.Hoai-Tran Bui - SlashfilmIf you can ever be too fast or too furious, too banter-y or too bald, that’s a vanishing point that goes unrecognized in Hobbs & Shaw — a testosterone motherlode so relentlessly, ridiculously adrenalized, it doesn’t so much unfold as steadily defibrillate you.Leah Greenblatt - Entertainment WeeklySomewhere around the midpoint of Hobbs & Shaw, the action sequences become so elaborate that they start to weigh the movie down; it becomes less a lean machine than an unwieldy, chubby sausage. And even if you feel certain there’s no such thing as too much action, you surely know when you’ve had too much sausageStephanie Zacharek - TimeBut in trying to break free from being “Fast and Furious,” “Hobbs & Shaw” forgets to maintain the balance of insanity and heart that makes the series special.Brian Tuitt - USA TodayStrip away the meandering exposition and “Hobbs & Show” is an old-school screwball comedy that just happens to feature two major action stars.Eric Kohn - IndiewireVideo ReviewsJeremy JahnsChris StuckmannSteve Weintraub and Coy Jandreau - Collider Videos via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2KgrgYb
