Action Hero MoviesWell it seems they eventually managed to persuade Vin Diesel to come back for the trilogy, after his absence from the second in the series. Probably a factor in his return, was going all-out with a star-studded supporting cast that includes Neymar Júnior, Donnie Yen, Michael Bisping, Deepika Padukone, Tony Jaa and Nina Dobrev – plus Samuel L Jackson who dies early on, and Ice Cube who returns from being the star of the previous movie where Vin Diesel was absent.
The opening has a bit of a Ghost In The Shell vibe, with one very similar scene near the start. Great action early on, but it slows down and gets a bit drama-ish after that.
There’s a very long action scene in the late middle, and a lot of cringeworthy acting from the supporting cast members too.
Overall I rate it just about Above Average and that may be being a bit generous.
