As the most blockbuster Hollywood sub-film this year, "Fast and Furious 10" undoubtedly has a strong attraction. And "Super 10" did not live up to everyone's expectations, successfully winning 100 million box office on the first day of release, with 51.8% of the lineup film winning 84.2% of the box office that day, becoming the first Hollywood blockbuster to reach this result in 2023. On the fourth day of release, the daily box office was nearly 200 million, and the total box office of the film exceeded 400 million, according to this trend, the 21st exceeded 600 million, which is not a problem at all. I have to say that the box office appeal of the old IP is still leveraged!
However, although "Super 10" can still hit at the box office, the film's reputation is not very satisfactory. Douban opened with a score of 7.1, which has fallen to 6.5, and the probability will fall. In North America, it is even less popular with film critics, with a media freshness rating of 54% on Rotten Tomatoes judged to be rotten, and an IMDb score of 6.3 barely passed.
The movie "Fast and Furious" series, from the first one released in 2001, has now lasted for 23 years, experienced various ups and downs in word of mouth, starring and combined, it is not easy to get to the present. The previous ninth part was criticized by the audience for its exaggerated action scenes, as well as extremely suspended stories and thin characters. Therefore, the film side has made corrections in the plot and characters of the tenth part, and at the same time adjusted the performance method of the speeding action scene, and the overall look and feel is better than that of the ninth part.
Originally looking at this good box office, Ru Ye thought that "Super 10" would fight a turnaround battle for Hollywood, but he didn't expect it to be full of bad reviews. From "Fast and Furious 1", the plot revolves around his family, and Donald leads his lover and brother to save the family that is important to him. And this setting has not changed even until the finale of the series "Super 10", but there are fewer and fewer families, and more and more enemies. Therefore, netizens are complaining that the "Fast Furious" series is becoming less and less innovative, and even the plot is gone, just seeing the special effects of car explosions everywhere.
There is also because it is the final chapter, so it is tough to resurrect all the characters who died before to a large group, originally there was nothing wrong with this setting, after all, "The Wandering Earth", which is known as a milestone in science fiction films in China, also played this trick in the second part, and forced a prequel, so that the dead "Liu Peiqiang" Wu Jing cooperated with Andy Lau again. And it is rumored that in the third part, these two dead characters are still there. It can be seen that such tough resurrection jokes are not uncommon in IP series. But "Super 10" resurrects Paul, who has been dead for almost ten years, and says goodbye to everyone again in the film, which is obviously playing the sentiment card. Therefore, it provoked many fans to scold, saying that even Paul has died for so many years, and he has been repeatedly pulled out for consumption, which is too tasteless.
In addition to consuming the deceased Paul, he also rubbed the popularity of the bald Jason Statham, watching the trailer, everyone thought that Jason should still be the protagonist. But unexpectedly, everyone was deceived by the film side. Jason only has ten minutes of scenes in the main film, and these are almost cut into the trailer. And Jason has also been completely reduced from the previous protagonist to a foil.
It can be seen that the upcoming "Fast and Furious" series has been completely reduced to a tool for quick money, so netizens also complained, it is better to let the series end like this! Don't come up again in the lower part of that "Super 10", everyone doesn't want to be hurt again. It is rumored that the production cost of "Super 10" is as high as 340 million US dollars, which is the highest cost in the entire series. I just don't know if these 340 million are two films, or just this one that is released now? If the latter, although it will still not lose money, it is likely that "Super 10" will become the lowest return on investment in the series. In this way, the IP is also a wise choice. What do you think about the "Super 10" that is currently being screened? I'm Ruye, see you in the comment area.
