I also saw Hobbs & Shaw and it was enjoyable, but very far from believable. I mean, there's a part where The Rock freefalls on to three different guys rappelling down a building, finally falling several stories and smashing through a glass roof on to a car but is completely uninjured. Later in the same scene they drive a Mclaren underneath two 53' trailers passing each other, while Idris Elba does the same, power sliding on the ground on his motorbike that transforms like a Michael Bay Transformer. In the climax, The Rock holds a military helicopter back with a chain, like Captain America.
It's fine if you accept that these characters are literally superheroes now, but definitely not anywhere close to believable.
Vanessa Kirby is great though. Those eyes, man.
