RE: 'Hobbs & Shaw': delivers a smile with me, top box office for others. . .

I thought it was a nice buddy movie, and without question, does what it was made to do.

I was surprised they went so far into comic book territory with some of the stunts and story, but then I knew I wasn't signing up for a symposium on world problems when I bought a ticket.

Some of the early scenes were all one color, like a comic book panel, and it works well establishing the tone of the story .

From experience, I knew this film would be more fun viewed with a crowd and a giant screen. It didn't disappoint.

At one story event, where the good guys have a big corny fight against the bad guys for some kind of reason, my interior groan of. "what, this agin? was superseded by a young child's applause , she was so happy the good guys came just in time to correct a dire situation.

She clapped through the entire fight scene, which were kept brief, these guys are not stupid about story. I also heard some young cheers at the same time but they were a me too not as confident expression, since adults don't cheer at most movies, rather than the happy thank goodness from a young child.

There are some cars, but only enough to satisfy the title. Seeing how the crowd responded to stuff that I viewed more critically really brought more joy to the story, hearing how others responded differently to the same events i experienced

Perhaps not the all time babe ruth of summer movies, but it is a good strong product. I was surprised to see so many young children at an R rated movie on a sunday evening. I guess being at a mall had a lot to do with that.
