Jason Momoa shines in Fast X despite poor reviews
The Fast and Furious saga continues with the upcoming Fast X movie. Dominic Toretto and his family will be back to face their demons of the past, with a new face. Jason Momoa, who has solidified his image as one of the best action stars in the TV and movie industry with projects like Game of Thrones, Aquaman, and Dune under his belt, will be playing Dante, one of the main antagonists in the film.
Jason Momoa is the best thing about Fast X
Early reviews of the Fast X screenings have been quite varied and mixed, a lot of critics have labeled it as ‘pretty bad’ as a movie. However, besides the wild action scenes, Jason Momoa’s performance is the only silver lining of the film.
Here are some of the critic’s reviews who attended the screenings:
#FastX is the worst Fast yet. Yes, including [insert your least fave here]. The action is fun but it's the 1st film to not up the ante from the last one & the trademark notion of "Family" is an afterthought.
But! Jason Momoa is God-Level in it and worth the price of admission. pic.twitter.com/zYdDFwSg0T

#FastX belongs to Jason Momoa and his decadent bad guy, Dante Reyes. Fierce and flamboyant, his perilous peacocking adds a sharp edge and some refreshing dark humor. The rest is ludicrousness with clunky elements but it is stupidly entertaining. What the Fast were you expecting? pic.twitter.com/9Xeuj2In7z

Fast X gets the Fast & Furious series back on track, and reason #1 is Jason Momoa, who plays Dante like F&F's version of The Joker. He's a gleeful psychopath, and it's delightful. Along with a story that avoids what made Fate Of The Furious and F9 feel stale, it's a win. #FastX pic.twitter.com/fgZy6gjYTR

And no this isn’t a joke, Jason Momoa is a high front runner for Best Supporting Actor at next years Oscars. The pure charisma blended with terrifying tension is a delectable combination. An all timer performance- he’ll never top it#FastX #Fast10 #FastAndFurious pic.twitter.com/X1iQKKP6wI

#FastX is an entertaining thrill ride. It’s a visual spectacle with some truly incredible stunts and some wildly outrageous moments you’d expect from the Fast franchise, but what Jason Momoa brings to the film as Dante is magic! His performance oozes charisma. pic.twitter.com/UjOlR77aEF

Who is Jason Momoa’s Dante in Fast X?
Dante is the son of Hernan Reyes, a politician and drug lord, and the primary antagonist of Fast Five. Dom and his team were first employed by Hernan for a high-level heist but they double-crossed him. Stripped of most of his wealth, Hernan then attacks Dom and his team, resulting in his death at the end of the film. Dante’s only goal is to make Dom suffer for what he did to his family.
