Hobbs & Shaw

Went and saw this yesterday - two thumbs up for the fun action and laughs! It drag in spots, particularly when the two boys got into back-and-forth, trying to one-up each other with creative insults for the other, but the rest of the movie made up for it and is worth seeing on the big screen. Helen Mirrin slays, but Vanessa Kirby as an MI6 agent and Shaw's sister steals the show - especially when she asks "Are you new here?". Idris Elba as the villain - wicked badass. I hope they cast him as a Bond villain sometime in the future, now that he's not going to be Bond. Ryan Reynolds is cute as the CIA agent who brings Hobbs in to help, but could do without here (or maybe it was that he was a seemingly inept, non-serious jokester that didn't come across well). I actually laughed more at the agent tasked with bringing Shaw on board when he relayed to Reynolds' character that Shaw had once beat the snot out of him and didn't even remember him.

Stay for the 3 scenes in the credits.
