My official tiers
S Tier
Fast Five
- Reshaped the franchise, brought the whole team together for the first time, great set pieces, added enough new life with the Rock and Elsa, strong story start to finish. Weakness is the villain but the Rock plays the bad guy for half the movie so that's enough. And honestly, lacking Letty is an improvement as the Dom and Letty love story is one of the worst elements of this entire franchise.
A Tier
Fast and Furious 6
- Great villain, great action sequences, hand to hand fighting, new environments, but not as fun as Fast Five and the Dom/Letty stuff is dumb
Fast X
- some of the best action set pieces in the whole franchise, enough humor and silliness without being too meta (looking at you F9), Momoa is the most fun villain while also being menacing and scary, far better than it deserved to be
The Fast and the Furious
- The OG gets the nod in the 2nd tier not just because of what it started, but it's a simple start that works. Great cars, inside jokes, dumb humor, all about the racing, it deserves a spot in the 2nd tier
B Tier
Furious 7
- Better than it should have been considering Paul's death and having to rework large parts of the movie no doubt. But if they didn't nail the ending, I don't think it would be as high on people's list. It absolutely nailed it, but be honest, so much of the rest of the movie is fine. Statham is good and scary, yes, but the Rock is gone for most of the movie, the whole Jakande and God's Eye and Ramsey thing was dumb, the skyscraper jump was cool but bonkers bad with CGI so who cares. I think they did their very best with what they had and absolutely nailed the ending, but the rest of the movie is subpar
Fate of the Furious
- A breath of fresh air, switched up the players with Dom being bad, Cipher was cool, a secret baby was silly, bringing in the Shaw's are the good guys now takes the "bad guys are secret good guys" to another level which plagues the franchise in future movies, but the set pieces were awesome and dumb, the Rock being with the team, but it holds up better on rewatches, especially after how bad F9 was
C Tier
The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift
- a great snapshot of the mid 2000s, great cars and driving, a surprisingly good story, poorly acted and no other connection to the franchise and characters except for the end and Han, but in retrospect it's got it's merits
D Tier
2 Fast 2 Furious
- not much to like about this in terms of a fast movie... it's got weak action and a bad plot but Paul Walker crip walkin through Miami and Tyrese gives is some value.. plus Eva Mendes
Hell Tier
Fast and Furious
- Just doesn't do much good. Braga is fine, but weak action, weak story, and just not fun or featuring many redeeming qualities. I don't see why I would want to ever rewatch this besides a full franchise rewatch.
F9
- Woof. I was fearful this is where the franchise was going and Fast X saved it. Secret brother is dumb. Dom literally being Jesus is dumb. the Godfather 2 story flashbacks were great though, but there's just way too much in this movie. Cardi B, Han's backstory, Mr Nobody, Roman being invincible, going into space.. some cool moments with the Tokyo guys and magnets, but yeah, this one is a bloated, over the top mess.
calibeebee I know you know your movies and this is likely something you already knew, but just in case you didn’t know:
) Its great for what they did and how they paid tribute, but it's not better than X.
