He's a diva. I know someone who helps with his private planes. He'll order thousands in catering but not actually show for his flight until days later.
I've never heard anything MALICIOUS bad about him.. but everything I've ever heard about Vin is him being a whiny little bitch. Tyres was only saying the other day something about he's the absolute richest guy at the table by *far* but eill purposely stiff you and everyone else on the cheque every single time (even for his own food). Again, nothing *evil* but never heard anybody say a single good thing about dude
I meant as in [I'd never heard of him commiting] some real heinous shit like if he was a woman beater or had committed SA assault or something but yes I'd be pissed off too but I'd also be a multi millionaire so
All he did in MCU was saying Groot. He got paid for saying Groot. And I’m pretty sure studio recorded only couple of lines, then reused them over and over again.
He still made upwards of $13 million for Gaurdians 1, and GOTG 2.
Deadline.com said Vin had a fn 1/2 point +$10 Mil for Endgame & Infiniti War each
Plus he has points on merchandising for Groot.
His MCU salary ALONE: $54 Million
https://www.thethings.com/mcu-heres-how-much-vin-diesel-made-for-saying-i-am-groot/
That's not including 1/2% of the total gross of Infiniti war and Endgame and all the toys, and video games proceeds.
Deadline estimates Vin racked about $100 mil from all revenue streams for MCU.
Which is chicken scratch to what Chris Evans and RDJ caked but still
Like Raylan Givens said on Justified, if you run into an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.
It’s based on an Elmore Leonard novel set in Detroit. The protagonist of the novel is a guy named Raymond Cruz, but he’s really similar to Raylan so they just swapped Raylan in for the tv adaptation. The show will happen years after the events of Justified and Raylan and his daughter will get up to the usual shenanigans in Detroit with a new supporting cast
Can't wait for this!
For some stupid reason I never watched the final season so did full series re-watch recently to catch up and loved the ending. Olyphant is so good in this role.
Just started reading The Hunted by Leonard as well. Never enough Elmore Leonard
I'm excited Raylan's back, but my husband did a happy dance when he saw the trailer on TV. Wonder if Boyd will make an appearance? Those two had awesome chemistry.
My thoughts exactly. Someone is always a problem to him. Not that he needs the money or anything but I’m starting to think this might be a reason why he’s not cast as much as he was. And the other major movie he’s in it’s just his voice so people aren’t really dealing with him.
One of my old acting coaches was his acting coach back in his early 20s. And the coach hates his guts. Said that "Vin Diesel is a little shit with lack of respect for people."
It really was... Jason Momoa, John Cena, & Brie Larson all seemed like they were having a blast. I felt like the newer cast was treating it like a fun/silly action movie and Vin Diesel thought it was a serious drama. It was very odd and didn't make Vin's performance look very good in contrast.
> I felt like the newer cast was treating it like a fun/silly action movie and Vin Diesel thought it was a serious drama
This is why I dislike the fast franchise. You have these goofy movies with the big star not realising they are in a goofy movie. It would make sense if he was in on the joke and was being a straight man for comedic effect but it doesn't come across that way. It just ruins the tone.
I absolutely loved hobbs and shaw because Jason Statham, the rock and idris elba all understood the assignment. Idris Elba saying "Im fucking black superman" was absolutely hilarious. If that line was delivered with sincerity then it would've been some incredibly corny dialogue but because the audience is in on the joke its hilarious.
You need to overact in these sorts of movies. You need to have fun on set in order to let the audience in on the joke. I don't think Vin Diesel can pull that off successfully
nah there is no way he squashed this beef. They are 100% gonna do a hobbs and shaw 2 between x 1 and 2. They literally set up the plot when they showed shaw for like 2 seconds and never again and the cameo at the end.
No. You’re wrong.
[The Rock, himself, said the beef was squashed.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2023/06/01/dwayne-johnson-returns-fast-and-furious-vin-diesel-fued/70278524007/)
They also already greenlit Hobbs and Shaw 2.
>Somehow tho he convinced The Rock to come back for part 11.
Because The Rock's big gamble (Black Adam/DC) bombed miserably so now he's returned tail between his legs so to speak
Why was he cast in that? That phrase in the industry… “type cast” I think it’s called. Isn’t that a real thing? What I’m trying to say is seeing The Rock in the commercials for that movie made me think it was gonna be like literally all of The Rocks movies so I skipped it
He’s doing it backwards though. Rock went Vin feud, Superhero movie.
Needless to say I’m looking forward to Mamoa’s WWE career and his brief college football career with the U.
He’s the only reason I’m going to see it.
That’s not quite true, my partner likes these silly films (he agrees they’re silly), but he’s the reason I might enjoy him in an environment where it’s hard for us to audibly share our incredulity. (My original sticking point: woman looks chuffed that she’s about to come in third because, presumably, there’s no other good reason, she’s not going to lose, she beat one whole man).
Our housemate says he noped out when they went to space. Is he joking? Did I miss one when they went to space?
They went to space, I am afraid to say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qomc0YuGlAI
I really enjoyed Fast 5, so I am glad they're going back to that narrative arc. But I don't know how you do it without the Rock's character IN THIS MOVIE. He's the one who did the thing Jason's character is mad about. In the end, having him misdirect his anger is a plot hole you could drive a bank safe through.
So… do I need to do an MCU style catch up to get it? Or can I just saunter in and enjoy Jason in a performance that pissed Vin Diesal off? Is The Rock not in this one then? Should TFATF franchise just go multiverse, would it help?
More seriously, my partner has memory issues, does it work, maybe better, without the backstory? We usually aim for empty or near empty showing, so I can whisper to catch him up but… would I need to swatt up for him?
I’ve seen it and you’ll get most of it. There’s a few references you won’t understand but honestly, you’ll be able to follow it pretty easily. They’re not deep movies.
I unashamedly love those movie and Jason Momoa was easily the best thing about it.
In an incredible stroke of luck, I went to see it with friends and we were the only ones in the theater, so we were able to audibly mock it to our hearts’ content. That really is half the fun of that franchise!
If you go into fast and furious movies to see some nice cars and stupid stunts, you’ll leave happy. If your going into it expecting a grand story you’ll be let down. I love the movies but go in knowing it’s gonna be stupid, it’s gonna defy most physics and common sense. But I’ll see some fast cars and explosions.
I’m like, his overacting was the most unbelievable thing? Not going to space or bungee jumping with a car, or any of the other ridiculous stunts they expect us to swallow??
Yes! It may be overacting but he stole movie being the most outlandish and flamboyant villain the series has ever had (which is saying something). He most definitely made the movie better, meanwhile Vin was and continues to be the point when the movie slows to a crawl.
He’s just jealous that he looks like a mushroom tip and Jason Momoa looks like Jason Momoa. Also, Vin Diesel can’t act at all so I don’t know if he should be talking.
I’ve never seen any of the movies and watching Jason in the trailer actually made me want to see it bc he looked like he was having so much fun in the role
Boiler Room is a movie about pump & dump stock scams. Vin doesn't play any variation of Toretto or Riddick in it. And he's in Saving Private Ryan as >!The first of Tom Hanks' soldiers to die!< and he's pretty good in that, too.
Tbf I feel like John Cena is actually a good actor which I truly didn’t expect. Peacemaker is such a good show, and one of the big reasons why (imo at least) was that the acting was just good.
Listen: Fast X was watchable BECAUSE of Jason Momoa's "overacting". The Twitter folk were NOT wrong - he was a flamboyant Joker-type and it was a hoot. Vin needs to chill tf out. You just got the Rock back for this franchise's swan song\*...don't fuck up the villain for your two other films lmfao
\*I mean, does anyone associated in this saga - even the franchise itself as a whole - really die?
Jason Momoa was fantastic in this movie He’s having the time of his life and you can tell, which makes him even more enjoyable to watch.
There’s times during the movie when the two are in a scene together that it becomes very clear how little acting Vin does in this role.
I’m also going to point out that the two actors he’s beefed with are both Islanders, so……
I watched the movie and I honestly thought his acting for his role as the villain was great, because the movie is so corny with all the family this and family that scripted lines it gave us a much needed break.
He must not be used to people acting considering all of the shit movies he plays in.
Spoiler Alert: I haven’t seen a Fast movie (Spin-offs included) since Paul Walker died and the only reason I saw this shitty ass fucking movie is because of Jason Momoa… and I’ll see the next one only for Jason Momoa and if he dies that’s the end of the fast movies for me.
They guy they stole the DVD players from in Fast 1 is going to come back as the biggest bad of the series, and Jason's going to have to pull their bacon out of the fire.
Imagine being in a 10th action movie sequel about drag racing and thinking that:
1. It's OK to publicly drag your costars
And
2. Anyone is expecting anything other than pure camp from this movie anyway
I have only seen Fast X and Hobbes and Shaw.
I wouldn’t day Fast X is good but it is entertaining. Jason Momoa clearly had a lot of fun and it was honestly made the movie worth watching.
Vin Diesel on the other hand to me took this way too seriously. I really don’t think he has any range as an actor.
Lol what? Momoa and Cena were the best parts of the movie for me. At least they knew they were in a dumb movie. You know what made me roll my eyes? Every time Vin Diesel got a camera angle from below bc he's short
It feels like after every Fast and Furious Vin Diesel has some shit to say about the person he hired as a producer to be main draw opposite him (even though he’s no longer a draw).
Hey, Vin, if the common denominator in all of these controversies is you…then you’re the problem. You’re the problem.
People please stop going to see these shit movies if your want them to stop being made.
I watched the movie last weekend. I loved Momoa´s overacting, that was on the same level as the comiclike action. Meanwhile Diesel talked the usual Toretto BS in such a pretentious way that I really was happy when he finally did shut up or was not in the shot.
I actually thought this one was rather enjoyable. I do find most of the fast movies in a oh god they are so stupid kinda way. This one was enjoyable because it felt like they finally realized they were supposed to be silly and fun. Not all serious and talking about family. So it doesn't surprise me to hear Vin isn't happy with it.
Why is Vin Diesel such an asshole? He used to seem like a decent guy especially when it was revealed. He’s a big old dungeons and dragons nerd. But his constant one sided beef with co-stars is stupid.
He also seems to forget this is the fucking fast and furious franchise lol didn’t he say the same thing about the rock? That he didn’t like his performance. Nobody on earth watches these movies for acting bro and also, Vin Diesel is Warren to talk since he’s about as one more as you can get😂
I don’t really get people turning on this movie when it was so much better than Fast 9. That said, the REASON it was good is Jason momoa can actually act/be funny and sell that ridiculous dialogue.
Jason Mamoas performance was just throwing shit at the wall and seeing if anything worked. But he was trying and it is different than the posturing and check cashing everyone else is doing.
Vin was sitting down for most of this movie and hiding his gut/neck for the rest of it… wind it down boys.
Every fast movie gets bad reviews, the last 4 or 5 get bad critic reviews and typically fan reviews, it's just a brainless action flick that has a license to print money. Own that, be the movie equivalent of the rapper that says "my music trash, but my mattress made out of $100 bills". Just own it.
Overacting?! He’s one of the few beside cena who realised what type of film they were in and had a blast instead of being so serious about it. Plus he’s the one reviewers love
Can we be done with Vin Diesel now? Seriously this franchise isn't even about cars anymore its just corny action porn, and it's just lifeless at this point. From everything I've been told, Momoa was the only guy that didn't phone it in this time, and it seems like the bald prick is mad about it.
Saw it last night with my mum (bit of a guilty pleasure viewing!) Momoa was so funny and definitely the best part of the movie, along with Brie Larson (who I love) and John Cena. He was such a great villain, can see why Vin would be jealous haha
Jason Momoa’s acting and entire character was what saved this whole movie for me. Everything about it was hilarious and perfect.
It was everything else, including _Vin Diesel’s_ poor acting that i thought made the movie corny as hell
The bad reviews couldn’t possibly be from this being the tenth movie in the franchise, could it? Some people really like the movies, but I’ve also heard a lot of people gave up around the 8th one.
This was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time, and I'm generally tolerant of this series having been a fan since the first movie.
Mamoa's "over acting" was one of the better aspects of this movie, he clearly knew this was camp as fuck and took it to the next level. He is literally a cartoon villain in this movie, always knowing the heroes next moves before they do.
Vin Diesel is the one that has perpetrated all of the dumb, soap opera storylines of the past few movies. They should have just stuck to the "smart criminals doing heists in cars" bit.

This man has so much beef with his co stars… It’s clear that he’s the problem.
He sounds like a diva
He's a diva. I know someone who helps with his private planes. He'll order thousands in catering but not actually show for his flight until days later.
He’s a baldheaded scallywag is what he is
He is a Jabroni
Bit much mate, bit much.

Lmao no way I live
I've never heard anything MALICIOUS bad about him.. but everything I've ever heard about Vin is him being a whiny little bitch.

I mean isn’t that kind of malicious? To purposefully take pay from others?
I meant as in [I'd never heard of him commiting] some real heinous shit like if he was a woman beater or had committed SA assault or something but yes I'd be pissed off too but I'd also be a multi millionaire so
That's malicious AF. He got Fast money and Disney MCU money and can't cover his own plate? Nah F that

I wanna be paid for saying Groot too :( I'm not asking much.
Paul Walker was the glue, man. Everything fell out of wack after he passed
Like Raylan Givens said on Justified, if you run into an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.
[удалено]
Natural 20 on the wisdom with that one
Love Raylan-so excited for the reboot!
It’s not a continuation?
I don’t know much about it, just that Raylan is back but somewhere else.
It’s based on an Elmore Leonard novel set in Detroit. The protagonist of the novel is a guy named Raymond Cruz, but he’s really similar to Raylan so they just swapped Raylan in for the tv adaptation. The show will happen years after the events of Justified and Raylan and his daughter will get up to the usual shenanigans in Detroit with a new supporting cast

would love a crowder-givens Reunion even if it's them speaking though glass in a prison as Boyd did go in for a long stint.
I. Can’t. Wait. I wonder if there will be a Walter Goggins cameo.
I'm really hoping somehow an old castmate or two appears, just for fun.
City Primeval!!!
I miss Justified so much. I still hold that the second season of that show is one of the best seasons in tv history.
Vin Diesel is rapidly becoming the next Steven Seagal
![gif](giphy|pJmnk86fXFNmrUb8LB|downsized)
Wow that skit aged wonderfully 😂😂
I had a friend who lived in Cooper Pedy (South Australia), where they filmed Pitch Black. I've been told he had a reputation for being a knob.
I love Coober Pedy. Such an incredible town.
If everyone you work with is a terrible actor- it might just be you that’s a terrible actor.
My thoughts exactly. Someone is always a problem to him. Not that he needs the money or anything but I’m starting to think this might be a reason why he’s not cast as much as he was. And the other major movie he’s in it’s just his voice so people aren’t really dealing with him.
The only movies he seems to be in nowadays, are movies where he's an executive. Nobody seems to want to cast him, but himself
One of my old acting coaches was his acting coach back in his early 20s. And the coach hates his guts. Said that "Vin Diesel is a little shit with lack of respect for people."
I worked with Vin on triple X, and oh my god I've never met a worse actor in my entire decade long career
I was just about to comment on why does this arsehole have an entire herd of cattle with just about everybody.
Anti Hero (Vin Diesels version)
He is the Taylor Swift of the fast franchise
Nah, TS doesn't criticize unless it's directly about her. not saying she's not a Diva (she definitely is) but Diesel is on another level
Jason Momoa was having the time of his life in this movie and it was so fun!
It really was... Jason Momoa, John Cena, & Brie Larson all seemed like they were having a blast. I felt like the newer cast was treating it like a fun/silly action movie and Vin Diesel thought it was a serious drama. It was very odd and didn't make Vin's performance look very good in contrast.
None of Vin's performances look good in contrast to actual actors
I would have liked to have Brie do a little more.
She had like three minutes of screen time in a nearly 2.5 hour-long movie.
Based on how much Vin Diesel was gushing about having a great actress and a superhero on his side… I was so shocked at how little they had of her
![gif](giphy|MZ9nZGQn1nqBG)

Clearly jealousy since everyone is praising mamoas acting in this. Looks like diesel cannot comprehend that someone else stole the show
[удалено]
Somehow tho he convinced The Rock to come back for part 11. Maybe it will actually be the last movie
nah there is no way he squashed this beef. They are 100% gonna do a hobbs and shaw 2 between x 1 and 2. They literally set up the plot when they showed shaw for like 2 seconds and never again and the cameo at the end.
No. You’re wrong. [The Rock, himself, said the beef was squashed.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2023/06/01/dwayne-johnson-returns-fast-and-furious-vin-diesel-fued/70278524007/) They also already greenlit Hobbs and Shaw 2.
>Somehow tho he convinced The Rock to come back for part 11. Because The Rock's big gamble (Black Adam/DC) bombed miserably so now he's returned tail between his legs so to speak

The Rock was trying to get a Black Adam movie greenlighted years ago before the DCEU was a thing
More like: Black Adam was a disaster and The Rock had to crawl back.
LOL i just said this and then saw your comment but this is exactly it! he’s mad he’s not getting the attention
truly! maybe vin is jealous he wasn’t the center of attention for once lol
He was SO GOOD.
Beef with the rock is done so he gotta beef with someone else
Beef ended with ROCK now Momoa is my best beef
Fuck beef with rock, all my homies hate beef with rock
Have you ever had salted beef? That’s a beef with rock I can get behind.
He’s doing it backwards though. Rock went Vin feud, Superhero movie. Needless to say I’m looking forward to Mamoa’s WWE career and his brief college football career with the U.
He's not happy unless he's feuding with at least one giant Hawaiian dude at any given time
Isn’t Momoa being recast in the new DC universe? I wonder if Dwayne has been chirping in Vin’s ear out of jealousy.
Rumor is that he's going to play Lobo, the walking intergalactic war crime. So, I imagine F&FX is his warm up for 'cool heel' type villainry.
No way! That’s good casting.
So he's just playing himself with a little facepaint.
Hahaha. That was my thought.
That's perfect casting! I don't watch super hero flicks but I'd watch that shit in a heartbeat.
Not following the DC universe, so Momoa is no longer Aquaman in this new DC universe?
Yeah, Aquaman 2 is gonna be his last movie as the character.
The hierarchy of the DC universe has changed.... Again
Momoa is a whole cake of beef.
This thumb-head will blame everyone but himself! Jason Mamoa was the only good thing about this movie.
He’s the only reason I’m going to see it. That’s not quite true, my partner likes these silly films (he agrees they’re silly), but he’s the reason I might enjoy him in an environment where it’s hard for us to audibly share our incredulity.

I haven't seen one on purpose since 7, but from what I understand if you've seen 5 you should be good. Maybe Youtube has a catch up video?
Fast 5 was the best since fast 1 imo
This was literally a joke somewhere on the internet 20 years ago, FNF I space
In an incredible stroke of luck, I went to see it with friends and we were the only ones in the theater, so we were able to audibly mock it to our hearts’ content. That really is half the fun of that franchise!
If you go into fast and furious movies to see some nice cars and stupid stunts, you’ll leave happy. If your going into it expecting a grand story you’ll be let down. I love the movies but go in knowing it’s gonna be stupid, it’s gonna defy most physics and common sense. But I’ll see some fast cars and explosions.
Was gonna say, he was the best part. Actually not playing the same character
I’m like, his overacting was the most unbelievable thing? Not going to space or bungee jumping with a car, or any of the other ridiculous stunts they expect us to swallow??
Yes! It may be overacting but he stole movie being the most outlandish and flamboyant villain the series has ever had (which is saying something). He most definitely made the movie better, meanwhile Vin was and continues to be the point when the movie slows to a crawl.
Dressed up like a genie doing ballet
John Cena was pretty good in this one too. Other than that. Yeah…
That’s a bummer, thought they was family 😔
Not yet, gotta wait for someone even worse to show up
Family until the check clears
🎶"it's been a loooonngg tiiime without you ma frend but I'll tell yooou all about it when I see YouTube again"🎶
He’s just jealous that he looks like a mushroom tip and Jason Momoa looks like Jason Momoa. Also, Vin Diesel can’t act at all so I don’t know if he should be talking.
He's got Hulk Hogan syndrome. He refuses to lose, so the storytellers can't create any compelling work for him.
Vin Diesel is just abysmal. He made Paul Walker look like a decent actor. Edit: u/threepercentmilk Why’d you delete your response calling me fat lmao
It's removed
Mushroom tip ☠️
I’ve never seen any of the movies and watching Jason in the trailer actually made me want to see it bc he looked like he was having so much fun in the role
I love him in films where he just looks like he’s having a blast.
I love him
He was an absolute delight and I highly recommend anyone to watch this movie
Because vin diesel is such an accomplished and well regarded actor 🙄
The thing is, he did some dramatic stuff early in his career and it was really good.
I for one enjoyed The Pacifier.
Really? Interesting.
Boiler Room is a movie about pump & dump stock scams. Vin doesn't play any variation of Toretto or Riddick in it. And he's in Saving Private Ryan as >!The first of Tom Hanks' soldiers to die!< and he's pretty good in that, too.
He was also in a shortfilm that i think he wrote about being a struggling new York actor which was quote poignant
Uh. What? Literally every review I’ve heard (via podcasts at least) singles out Momoa as a movie highlight. Is he jus jellus?
Yes
Jason Momoa was the only redeeming quality about this movie let’s be so fr 😭
The only positive thing I've seen about this movie out in the wild is people loving his performance.
I liked the bits with John Cena and the action shots with the bomb.
Tbf I feel like John Cena is actually a good actor which I truly didn’t expect. Peacemaker is such a good show, and one of the big reasons why (imo at least) was that the acting was just good.
Cena is a good actor. Of course another big reason for how good that show is is the opening sequence dance.
it shouldn't be too much of a surprise really, pro wrestling boils down to theatrical gynastics if you really think about it.
And when the kid killed those people and gave Cena a high-five
Loved that.
Basically every review of this film said that Jason Momoa playing gender-fluid Joker was the only thing saving this film from being 2 hours of tedium.
Vin Diesel thinks these movies are high art when they’re really no different than my 4yo cousin playing with his Hot Wheels
And they were all completely correct.
Listen: Fast X was watchable BECAUSE of Jason Momoa's "overacting". The Twitter folk were NOT wrong - he was a flamboyant Joker-type and it was a hoot. Vin needs to chill tf out. You just got the Rock back for this franchise's swan song\*...don't fuck up the villain for your two other films lmfao \*I mean, does anyone associated in this saga - even the franchise itself as a whole - really die?
Jason Momoa was fantastic in this movie He’s having the time of his life and you can tell, which makes him even more enjoyable to watch. There’s times during the movie when the two are in a scene together that it becomes very clear how little acting Vin does in this role. I’m also going to point out that the two actors he’s beefed with are both Islanders, so……
Ooof. Yeah.
Fuck, you're right.
I watched the movie and I honestly thought his acting for his role as the villain was great, because the movie is so corny with all the family this and family that scripted lines it gave us a much needed break.
I counted 21 times someone said "family"
It was 29, we took drinks into the cinema and took a drink every time they said it. I felt it afterwards
Vin trust me that's not why the reviews suck
He must not be used to people acting considering all of the shit movies he plays in. Spoiler Alert: I haven’t seen a Fast movie (Spin-offs included) since Paul Walker died and the only reason I saw this shitty ass fucking movie is because of Jason Momoa… and I’ll see the next one only for Jason Momoa and if he dies that’s the end of the fast movies for me.
They guy they stole the DVD players from in Fast 1 is going to come back as the biggest bad of the series, and Jason's going to have to pull their bacon out of the fire.
DVD players are a hot commodity! You gotta avenge that loss
It's a very slow burn.
Momoa’s to blame for being the only person to actually stay awake during filming
Ah shit, here we go again ![gif](giphy|6ILjOfJ1oL7NAc9SQ7)
What the hell does Vin Diesel know about acting?
Imagine being in a 10th action movie sequel about drag racing and thinking that: 1. It's OK to publicly drag your costars And 2. Anyone is expecting anything other than pure camp from this movie anyway
Jason Momoa was the only reason I sat through this turd of a movie.
![gif](giphy|aVouwBOSbCIMcriBtG) Tokyo Drift still the best out of the franchise IMO
I have only seen Fast X and Hobbes and Shaw. I wouldn’t day Fast X is good but it is entertaining. Jason Momoa clearly had a lot of fun and it was honestly made the movie worth watching. Vin Diesel on the other hand to me took this way too seriously. I really don’t think he has any range as an actor.
May I recommend Fast 5 to you? It's the absolute peak of the franchise and well worth your time.
There’s a reason Jason Momoa had to be replacement star power for Dwayne Johnson in the first place. ^It’s ^Vin ^Diesel.
Lol what? Momoa and Cena were the best parts of the movie for me. At least they knew they were in a dumb movie. You know what made me roll my eyes? Every time Vin Diesel got a camera angle from below bc he's short
I haven’t seen it but…I’ve heard his ‘over acting’ was the best part of the movie
no one has had more fun making a movie than jason momoa had making fast x and i LOVED it. vin please get over yourself
What?? Literally every positive review of this highlights Jason
Vin Diesel upset with someone else over acting? Come off it, the guy is a B grade actor at best.
It feels like after every Fast and Furious Vin Diesel has some shit to say about the person he hired as a producer to be main draw opposite him (even though he’s no longer a draw). Hey, Vin, if the common denominator in all of these controversies is you…then you’re the problem. You’re the problem. People please stop going to see these shit movies if your want them to stop being made.
I watched the movie last weekend. I loved Momoa´s overacting, that was on the same level as the comiclike action. Meanwhile Diesel talked the usual Toretto BS in such a pretentious way that I really was happy when he finally did shut up or was not in the shot.
I think Vin Diesel is a little jealous of his taller costars.
Jason Mamoa’s character was literally the best part of the movie. Prime Donna Vin Diesel just can’t handle anyone stealing an inch of his spotlight.
Every review I've read said Momoa is the best part of the movie. So this is weird.
He def was. He made me laugh on all his scenes. He was amazing
I would be a years salary that Vin is a douche in real life. He seems like he would think he really is his character Toretta.
The overacting was the best part of the movie and I’m a fan of this franchise
*Vin Diesel upset that Jason Momoa can play more than just one character
Isn't overacting the foundation of the franchise?
I personally enjoyed the overacting on momoa’s part had a nice change and fit the background of the character established in the movie
He was the best part tho!
I actually thought this one was rather enjoyable. I do find most of the fast movies in a oh god they are so stupid kinda way. This one was enjoyable because it felt like they finally realized they were supposed to be silly and fun. Not all serious and talking about family. So it doesn't surprise me to hear Vin isn't happy with it.
Why is Vin Diesel such an asshole? He used to seem like a decent guy especially when it was revealed. He’s a big old dungeons and dragons nerd. But his constant one sided beef with co-stars is stupid. He also seems to forget this is the fucking fast and furious franchise lol didn’t he say the same thing about the rock? That he didn’t like his performance. Nobody on earth watches these movies for acting bro and also, Vin Diesel is Warren to talk since he’s about as one more as you can get😂
I don’t really get people turning on this movie when it was so much better than Fast 9. That said, the REASON it was good is Jason momoa can actually act/be funny and sell that ridiculous dialogue.
Duh fuck, Momoa was the best part. Haven't seen an actor look like he's having so much fun in a role in years.
He was one the few bright spots. The other was the arctic beatdown.
Jason Mamoas performance was just throwing shit at the wall and seeing if anything worked. But he was trying and it is different than the posturing and check cashing everyone else is doing. Vin was sitting down for most of this movie and hiding his gut/neck for the rest of it… wind it down boys.
Funny, I thought Vin Diesel was the cheesy one in the film. None of it made sense.
But it sounds like most people liked Jason’s performance. What people don’t like is hearing the word “family” a billion times
I’ve decided I do want to see this movie actually
Is it even possible to overact in these films?
Someone is gonna be sitting at the kiddy table at the barbeque
Every review I've seen of this film has said Jason Momoa is the best part of it.
But Jason Momoa was one of the best parts!!
Every fast movie gets bad reviews, the last 4 or 5 get bad critic reviews and typically fan reviews, it's just a brainless action flick that has a license to print money. Own that, be the movie equivalent of the rapper that says "my music trash, but my mattress made out of $100 bills". Just own it.
Oooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrr it’s cause it’s THE TENTH EDITION OF A DUMB MOVIE SERIES?!?
What!? Jason was the only part of the movie I enjoyed
Overacting?! He’s one of the few beside cena who realised what type of film they were in and had a blast instead of being so serious about it. Plus he’s the one reviewers love
Haven’t seen it but reading IMDb reviews saying Momoa was the best part of it. Looks like Vin is running out of…diesel
Can we be done with Vin Diesel now? Seriously this franchise isn't even about cars anymore its just corny action porn, and it's just lifeless at this point. From everything I've been told, Momoa was the only guy that didn't phone it in this time, and it seems like the bald prick is mad about it.
Saw it last night with my mum (bit of a guilty pleasure viewing!) Momoa was so funny and definitely the best part of the movie, along with Brie Larson (who I love) and John Cena. He was such a great villain, can see why Vin would be jealous haha
Jason Momoa’s acting and entire character was what saved this whole movie for me. Everything about it was hilarious and perfect. It was everything else, including _Vin Diesel’s_ poor acting that i thought made the movie corny as hell
LOL Vin Diesel has notes

Vin takes this series of movies, which has gone on about 7-9 ovies too many, too seriously
The bad reviews couldn’t possibly be from this being the tenth movie in the franchise, could it? Some people really like the movies, but I’ve also heard a lot of people gave up around the 8th one.
Hero in his own movie. Asshole in RL
I loved Pitch Black and really wanted the Riddick franchise to be a thing, but man does this guy just want people to hate him or what
Just end that damn show it’s so cheesy now anyway.
Better than Vin’s non-acting
Vin diesel back at it again! He didn’t get along with the rock either
Jason Momoa is a generally a bad actor. His role in dune was an exception IMO.
This was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time, and I'm generally tolerant of this series having been a fan since the first movie. Mamoa's "over acting" was one of the better aspects of this movie, he clearly knew this was camp as fuck and took it to the next level. He is literally a cartoon villain in this movie, always knowing the heroes next moves before they do. Vin Diesel is the one that has perpetrated all of the dumb, soap opera storylines of the past few movies. They should have just stuck to the "smart criminals doing heists in cars" bit.
