Review: Jason Mamoa brings new energy to ‘Fast X’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 08:38:48 GMT

By Mark Kennedy | Associated PressFans and critics may disagree over when exactly the “Fast & Furious” franchise jumped the shark, but there is only one correct answer: When the Pontiac Fiero went into space.Weightless and violating every physical law, the floating car — tasked with bumping a satellite in the ninth installment — was the very symbol of how bloated and crazed the once-plucky series had become. There really was no way down after that.And yet we have come to 10, part of a planned series of films finally saying goodbye. “Fast X” is, thankfully, shackled to Earth’s gravity — sometimes tenuously, it must be said — but it has become almost camp, as if it breathed in too much of its own fumes.“Fast X” reaches into the fifth movie — 2011’s “Fast Five” — for the seeds to tell a new story. In a memorable moment five movies ago, Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto wrecked a bad guy and his team on a bridge in Rio de Jane...

(CNN) — Incluso antes de que sonara el silbato final en el 4-0 ante el Manchester City en la semifinal de la Liga de Campeones este miércoles, los jugadores del Real Madrid parecían haber aceptado su destino.El equipo español fue superado, y con creces, durante casi la totalidad de los 90 minutos por un Manchester City que simplemente fue superior durante todo el juego.Fue una actuación que no solo vio a Los Blancos quedar eliminados de la Champions, sino que también hizo que un equipo de superestrellas de clase mundial pareciera mediocre y una base de fanáticos acostumbrada a corear “¡Así! Así! ¡Así gana el Madrid!” se quedaran inquietantemente en silencio.Ver perder a un club como el Real Madrid siempre es una sorpresa, pero es aún más impactante cuando consideras que fue este equipo, en esta competencia, el que perdió.Manchester City golea 4-0 al Real Madrid y clasifica a la final de la Champions LeagueEl Real Madrid fue humillado por el Manchester City en el partido de vue...
