With the newest installment ofFast & Furiousout in theatres, it can be stated without doubt, anyone who’s watchingFast Xis a die-hard fan of the franchise or maybe went there for Jason Momoa. Because despite the blockbuster franchise uniting the Avengers-like team or rather “family”, the sequels have gotten a little repetitive with their perpetual cyber-heists and celebrity cameos.
DespiteFast X‘s attempt at reminding its fans about the past glories of the team, the movie is still facing ridicule. Critics consider, amid physics-violating floating cars and scenes pumped up with crazy shots, the one thing that’s saving the sequel is the dangerously entertaining character of Jason Momoa.

Fast XGives Out A Preposterous Vibe To Its Audience
TheFast & Furiousfranchise is back at your doorstep with their newest installmentFast X.Continuing their sequel of turning things up by uniting their super pumped team, the recent movie comes from the director Louis Leterrier. Despite the franchise owning blockbuster prequels, fans don’t appear much hyped withFast X.
To be fair, the films do seem to have run their course over the years. Coming up with a beaten storyline and repetitive scenes, Leterrier literally appears to have reused footage from the climax ofFast Five, for his new movieFast X.However, the climax scene isn’t the only thing that appears common. Even the eccentric physics-defying flying cars and unrealistic action scenes appear similar to that of the prequels.
Witnessing the monstrously silly and stupidly entertainingFast X, fans and critics claim, the franchise seems to have run out of gas. Simply employing insane stunts and striking dialogues, the movie is deemed a fancy rip-off ofMission ImpossibleandJohn Wick.
Nevertheless, irrespective of the cliché survival techniques, vows, and vengeance, fans believe, the movie wouldn’t be near as fun withoutJason Momoaplaying the flamboyant knife-licking psycho, Dante Reyes.

Jason Momoa SavesFast XFrom Utter Ridicule
Appearing as the new villainous character, who is clumsily introduced in the background, Jason Momoa plays the role ofFast Fiveantagonist Hernan Reyes’ son, Dante Reyes. Pulling the cheap technique of making the villain seem menacing and meaningful, fans criticize the franchise for using Reyes’ family history.
To everybody’s surprise, this time the franchise unknowingly made the villain more favorable thanVin Diesel‘s entire team. Playing the role that appears as an amalgamation ofJoaquin Phoenix‘s Joker, and Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, Momoa expresses his penchant for explosives. Now, what can be greater than witnessing Momoa stand with arms wide like Christ the Redeemer, while a possible blast is to happen?
Thus, after watching Jason Momoa being the bad guy, fans and netizens took to Twitter to express their thrill overFast X.
Fast X was about as ridiculous, over the top and cliché-riddled as you would expect from a Fast and Furious movie, but Jason Momoa was fantastic as the latest villain.
He was clearly having the time of his life and the movie is worth watching for his performance alone!#FAST10pic.twitter.com/M62qbnNOOI

Jason Momoa brought life to Fast X. It’s probably one of his best performances to date. He simply aced his role with those mind games on Dom.pic.twitter.com/4H7trK2oMp
