Fast & Furious 8

Furious 7 had one the best conclusions for a film series ever. I and was perfectly happy if the series ended there and continued with spin-offs or hell even a Netflix TV show. But the almighty dollar wants these films to continue. I really had my doubts going into this film. I didn't think the series had any fuel left. The story arch in the last 3 films was complete. What else can we tell now that the main antagonist was no longer in the series? Well, I was wrong, really wrong, I was very surprised by this movie, surprised to the fact that I was very entertained and had as much fun as I had with this series since Tokyo Drift (yes I liked Tokyo Drift). The main driving point of the story (which the trailers express) of Dom going rouge was a valid plot point and with a twist to the series that worked.

What I liked about the film was the main plot device and of course the action. All the action scenes were all fun to watch (personally, I like the opening sequence best) But this movie delivered on what it promises and that's over the top action. At one point our anti- heroes seemed like superheroes who drive in their own "Batmobiles" and ride to the rescue.

What I didn't like was fact that a couple of action scenes were fun but very ridiculous and somewhat didn't work for me. And one of the characters in the film has an arch that just betrays the last two films and makes you question the motive of others. But on the downside, the franchise will run out of fuel soon and start to get that "been there, done that" feel to it that will make the next films seem boring. You somewhat feel that in the climax of this film but it's the main plot point that keeps the action scene lifted because you know it's coming just when and how keeps you invested.

All in all the movie was really good and you will be entertained and I would rank it as well as parts 5, 6 and 7 but the finish line is near and I feel the next films (I read 2 more are coming) will not have enough fuel to make to the finish line. Will the next films kick in the NOS and project us to the finish line...I really do hope so.

Fast & Furios movies belong to a genre of a bad movies which are so bad that they are enjoyable. Whole series of movies are shameless entertainment from beginning to the end and there is nothing bad with it. Movie offers you everything you ever waited, reckless driving, pretentious stunts, stupid jokes, machoism and (beautiful women). Every time they try to make everything bigger, than previous. This time they bring nuclear submarine to end scene. There will be two movies at least to come to this series. Remain to be seen what they bring next time to make it even bigger than this. Story is quite gauzy, but hardly any one expect anything else. As an entertainment movie wont betray you, but with it's script is little weaker than previous movie. Jokes are quite lame, but some of them manage to make you laugh. Froth entertainment and nothing else. Light story is quite amusing, but some scenes makes story a little lame. For that we can blame movie director F. Gary Gray. Previous movie director James Wan kept story tight and solid. Let's hope they will bring him back in upcoming movies. Movie holds every aspects you ever waited. Senseless reckless driving and great action. Even this movie aren't so good than previous it still is shameless entertaining. Bringing Kurt Russel to movie is great honor to 1980's action movies. These movies are so bad that they are so great and dulcet to watch. It gives you what ever you were expecting for these movies, speed, action, orgulous stunts to satisfy you to pay a movie ticket price.

I'm not really a fan of the "Fast And The Furious" movies, having only seen about two of them before watching this one. I have still noticed they have become better with most new entries. I admit this wasn't as good as "Fast Five" but it's still a good movie. It's hard to get used to a new franchise especially one with so many characters in it. Still, I recognized most of the actors which is good enough for me. Anyway, of the ones that I have seen, this is the most insane and ludicrous of them all. Well, it makes sense as it literally has Ludicrous in it. This film features Dom (Vin Diesel) being forced to help a villain named Cipher or else she'll kill his family.

Cipher's plan is to gain access to nuclear launch codes to well, cause a massive war. Yeah, it's pretty over the top even for this franchise and it does seem like the series is changing to a traditional James Bond movie. Still, the action scenes in this movie are tons of fun and the characters are interesting enough to keep you hooked into the story. I admit a lot of it gets really silly and it can be predictable, but I mean, this is just a great movie to watch for the awesome and quite creative action scenes. Unlike the "Transformers" movies which became repetitive, these films have found new and innovative ways to entertain viewers. ***

Fast & Furious saga it's funny. We'll travel by fantastic places, we'll see again characters, we'll see fantastic cars, we'll listen music, we'll have new ideas about family. Movie is colorful, plenty of action, new challenges, new characters, new connections.. I enjoyed, My family enjoyed too. If you like last movies, this will not be exception.

The action is fine (although it is a Transformers, Michael Bay kind of action), but that script, oh my god the script is so cheesy... This thing about cyber terrorism where everyone is a hacker, but no one uses a mouse on a computer, they all just type in front of a holographic screen with moving images from a Star Trek movie. It is just getting old. Enough with the "lets hack into a network of satellites in 10 seconds".

The characters have no real spunk behind them, they just appear, because they have to. The motives of the villain are silly and unclear, the villains henchmen are targets for shooting practice. The last couple FF movies were much much better in terms of story, still over the top action, but they had some feeling.

This one is just a flick for children, it's slow motion fx, big "really big" explosions, lots of good quality cgi, and fitting for a kids movie not a drop of blood.

I give it a 6, because the production and the action are great, and I like the fact that some big Hollywood names appeared in it. But it is more like a 5.7, oh did I mention that the acting sucks as well?
