Fast X

A. This is the longest movie trailer in the world.
B. This looks absolutely ridiculous.
C. I’m totally going to watch it.

That looks really stupid. Then again, most of them do. I think I gave up around the third movie.

Then IMO you bailed out at a low point and missed some good stuff. I have the whole series on disc and #2-3 are the ones that I re-watch the least. F&F has not followed the normal Hollywood franchise path.

I won't claim that this new Fast#10 is gonna be high quality. But #5 and #6 were really solid popcorn movies.

As a certified F&F ride-or-die; number 9 made me think death might be the better option.

This one looks just dumb enough to still be worth watching though. I think it's funny that the villain in this is a huge reach back to the film in the franchise that set the mold for them as heist movies.

Looked like it might be fun, then I saw Brie "Karen" Larson.
If its free, I might give it a try.

They should have stopped after the seventh film, considering Paul Walker’s passing,

I came out of the 7th film wishing they had stopped after #6.

#7 felt like 'Return of the Jedi' or 'The Dark Knight Rises' to me. Still pretty good, but it felt inferior to the previous ones. The series had peaked. And I was sure the next one would get another step worse (which it did).

But in 7, you learn that you can't just tell someone that they love you...

[edit] I loved 7, and I actually really liked that corny ass line.

 

[CB2001]

Honestly, I think they should have stopped after the first film, but seeing they continued past that, ending it at 7 and allowing the closure of Brian’s last appearance in the film be the finale of the film would have been the best way to end it.

F&F #1 was a different category from the others. It was a low-budget 'Point break' remake in the tuner street-racing scene of the time. It was not a good movie but it was a fun bad movie.

#2 was a hip-hop music video that was doing an homage to Miami Vice.
#3 tried to revert back to #1 but they used a 1980s high schooler movie plot.

#4-6 were solid outlaws-do-a-heist action movies. The cast & characters were meshing well.
#5 had the most fun property destruction chase scene since 'The Blues Brothers.'

#7-up have been 'Mission Impossible' with more muscles. Big name stars & good action sequences. But the scripts are getting hard to watch. They could start getting scripts from a Chatbot A.I. program and the box office earnings woudn't know the difference.
