Movie was horrible and cheesy.
Dom said family like 80 times.
The rock redirecting missiles with his bare hands? Okay

Nice, review.My Fast 8 review....
The run this franchise has been on, I’ve expected it to get bigger and better film after film. (since Tokyo Drift that is, when we saw Dom cameo at the end, we all knew a 4th would come, and would be “big”) What we’re getting now, is just unreal.
That said, a part of me was worried about the first film without Paul and what the direction would be. (Also, without Lin directing and running the show) I knew it would be big still, I knew they would make it fun, and entertaining and all that, but would it have the heart still, would it find a way to bring something more to the table besides the cars and over the top action? The answer, in typical F&F fashion, YES. They completely blew me away.
Everything you can love about this franchise is once again on full display. The minority casting. The minority director. The locations, the music, the interactions between the cast…..The chance for each actor/actress to shine, and have equal part in helping the story, and this time, for the first time, the main villain be a female as well. And a bad *** female villain at that.
Remember when Luda got his moment to shine in Fast 7, with the hands? This time Roman gets his moment. I loved it, both scenes, both films, well timed, unexpected, humorous, but also giving them that moment of “helping” the team in more ways than just comedic relief.
Good guy, to bad guy, bad guy, to good guy, dead, to alive, cameos, scripts flipped, backstabbing, pain (was kinda tough to say good bye to Elaina)
Seeing them have to accept Statham as an ally, perfect. Simply perfect in this world. The enemy of my enemy, is my friend. Obviously he killed one of their friends, and tried to kill all of them as well, but they did throw his brother out of a plane, so I mean…..In the end, everyone has agendas, and as we see in this film, Hobbs discovers that Shaw is actually a hero, driven to make people pay that endanger his family. Sounds an awful lot like how Dom and Brian operated.I loved it, it was truly perfect. I was skeptical they could manage to pull that switch off, and they did flawlessly.
What would make Dom turn? I couldn’t grasp a way that would seem real, or viable. Welp…….That’ll do it alright.
Clearly, they upped the craziness a lil bit (they always do) but they stayed true to who they are, and who they’ve been, they’re a franchise that shows a driver shift 11 times, while driving an automatic, tanks drive as fast as Lambo’s, you can jump out of a speeding car and only get your tank top dirty, you can drive a car while on fire, it’s all gravy. We know the score. If you’ve been here since day 1, you know what you’re getting and you’re happy with it, if you come in expecting Letty to out act Helen Mirren then you’re an idiot who should stick to arguing about Tony Stark vs Captain America all day.
Charlize was tremendous, and pretty clear she will be a big part of either 9 or 10, and will add more members to her team that will be huge threats. And that will be awesome, just as this one was.
Rock and Statham were awesome, the prison break was Fast Five vault level.Statham was out of control in that scene with the movements thru the entire prison, God that was awesome.
Dom pushed his door off his car, and Rock’s SUV-half tank lookin armored vehicle went slamming back., how hard did Dom push that door man?
The race in Cuba, and letting dude keep his car, pure Dom. I loved that scene. Again, it isn’t about takin cars and such, inch or a mile, winning is winning, and like Brian said, some people value the respect more. (great nod)
“The Buster”
“when I went to the bathroom, I didn’t recognize myself”That line had the whole theater cryin.
Rock and Statham back and forth was gold line for line.
Kurt Russell laughin at the rookie the whole movie.
I thought Eastwood did a good understated job to start, but I can bet he will increase in role goin forward in 9-10. He wasn’t too in our face, and he wasn’t too invisible either. Like I said, they did a good job of filling the void left by Paul.
The cameo by Owen Shaw.That was outstanding. Freakin loved seein that.
To me, this is just my opinion, 6 is still the best movie in the franchise, because it had the GOAT cast with Han, and Letty back, and Gisele, and of course Walker, and Shaw was a great villain, not to mention them goin up against their equals in terms of crew for crew. That film is the best in terms of over the top, sure, but also still kinda grounded, kinda “real” moreso than the vault in Rio, or the sub, etc. It’s all crazy, they drive a tank, and Dom catches Letty and all that, I know, but as a whole, it’s more realistic or plausible than the other films, while still being full on action. But 8 is right behind it now. I think it was better than 7, and a lil better than 5. Again, just my opinion, but 6 was just the cleanest film of the franchise with the best cast overall.
So, rating for Fast 8 is, 8/8
