Hobbs and Shaw is fresh and feels like a standalone. You really don't need to watch the other films to enjoy it, but if you want to learn the history off Hobbs and Shaw then feel free to go back and watch the last 3 installments. There is no Dominic Toretto and his crew. Fresh new story, characters, and theme. Vanessa Kirby shines as Hattie, Idris Elba shines as black superman, Hobbs and Shaw shines, Ezia Gonzalez shines as Madam M. I really love that they have put more focus into Hobbs and his daughter Samantha's relationship. I also love that they're teasing a romantic relationship between Luke Hobbs and Hattie Shaw which happens to be the sister of Owen and Deckard. Btw she kicks major behind. There are two BIG cameos in this film, a bunch of easter eggs, and a crazy fight sequence that takes place in Samoa, Hobbs homeland. It's a really good action-packed heartfelt film and I think you'd enjoy it. 8/10 The summer is almost over so sit back and enjoy Hobbs and Shaw for what it is.
