Hobbs and Shaw - Trailer 2 Review
The second trailer for Hobbs and Shaw has arrived. Does it deliver?
Thoughts: No one said it had to make sense. Not when you're dealing with Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson. So when Hobbs and Shaw releases another trailer, I expect to shut my brain off for two minutes and enjoy a bunch of nonsense.
And I did - and it was awesome.
There are some films that require your utmost attention and are so beautifully and wonderfully crafted. Then there are films like this that essentially require a tub of popcorn and a dopey grin. This film looks so unbelievably stupid that I think it looks awesome.
We see more shots of Idris Elba being the most hammed-up bad guy in the history of bad guys. Granted, if I was judging this trailer on the same scale as I would a lot of other trailers, I would be very concerned at just how much story they're showing. They essentially showed us the plot of the entire film, with Hobbs heading back home to get backup.
But you know what? It works. You don't go to these kinds of movies for plot, you go to them for the experience of flipping Jeeps and machine guns and helicopters.
This film could be one of the worst of 2019. Or it could be one of the absolute best.
Did it Raise Excitement? You bet it did.
