• Action movie physics
• Franchise escalation and absurdity

What it concludes

• Fast & Furious 9 leans heavily into absurdity and feels 100% like a cartoon, representing the closest this franchise has ever gotten to 'hilarity'.
• The middle portion of Fast & Furious 9 heavily sags with excessive setup and flashbacks for future films.
• The inevitable clash between John Cena and Vin Diesel is very weak compared to past fights in the franchise.
• Fast & Furious 9 receives a C- grade because it feels like a setup movie for another film and pushes the action past the point of believability.
