    Watching through the Fast&Furious movies and 8 is definitely the weakest movie.

    It’s almost too cartoonish. Like there are some fun scenes and stuff but it’s not that great of a movie.

    The opening scene where Dom becomes the King of Cuba by winning a street race is just…dumb

    the two things i know about AAF:

    There one hit was a cover.

    They tried to make Movies a hit. Twice. After they became a one hit wonder they remade the music video to give it new legs on TRL. It lasted about a week.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    But the Cuba race sets up the fact that he has gained resistance to Fire damage, which comes back later at the end when he shrugs off being hit by a missile.

    It’s wild that this is true despite the very next movie having them drive a Pontiac Fiero into space to ram a satellite.

    Also Dom hulking out and ripping down two giant concrete beams with his bare hands.

    The Fast & Furious series is so much fun and absolutely worth watching, but you need to go into it knowing that there are some really low lows in terms of quality.

    You also need to know it starts dumb and only gets dumber. Personally that's not a negative for me, but you definitely need to be willing to go along for the ride.

    The Double Toasted crew had that exact same reaction, so this was very amusing, and it's funny to think that they're right, the first movie does have its charms that the later movies don't:

    Fast X was entertaining, but extremely disjointed and more importantly leaves pretty much everything hanging for Fast X-2 the one with the girl band, there was a point about a half hour before the end with the opportunity for a more satisfying ending*, but that was passed over in favour of another set of action sequences (which tbh especially the last bit were the exact right amount of dumb I have come to look for in the series.)

    On the plus side though, Jason Momoa puts in a massively over the top performance and Alan "2 refrigerators in a suit" Ritchson as an agency goon is something I'd managed to miss in the promo stuff so that was a good surprise.

    *
    The part in question being Dante escapes with the Gods Eye thingy, on the bridge where it all started, perfect, go to credits, keep the last chunk for the start of the next film, oh no betrayal etc.

    A more bold choice would have been to have one film about Dom running around and part 2 about the rest of the crew but I suspect that the ensemble aspect of the film being (Afaik) hard contracted puts an end to that

    Cena being (at least seemingly) gone is a real shame because his road trip with lil B was probably my favourite part

    It says something that even when the movie was in hindsight clearly wrapping up I was unstuck from time until it was really clear it was wrapping up.

    The Raid 1 and 2 are two of my favorite theater experiences that I've ever had based largely on audience reactions. Especially The Raid 2, where after one major fight finishes and everything goes quiet in the film as the scope of the damage is revealed, the entire theater is hushed except for one guy who audibly says aloud "oh shit!" causing a theater-wide chuckle because yeah, Oh Shit indeed.
