Everything Barney does not watch Five Second Review - Fate of the Furious 8
After Paul Walker "left", I was pretty sure they would stop the Fast and the Furious movies.... but I guess now with Dwayne Johnson the story will go on...
I found that this one was different, the story had an interesting twist and it was more "realistic" to a certain extent. There was very plausible use of hacking and technology which was fun to watch, and the villain of this movie was as cold as it gets. They took many elements from the previous movie so it's a good idea to watch it first if you haven't. They also put a lot of surprises that you never would have expected, and some inside jokes that you really need to follow some characters to understand.
I'm a car fan, so it's always fun when they talk about horsepower and nos, as well as when they show engine elements.
Overall a fun experience, car fan or not.
Heart Rating: 3.5
Brain Rating: 2.5 (just relax and watch the movie)

Anyway there is NO way I'm going to go see a 2.5 star brain rating movie unless it has a baby in a suit.

A buddy recently watched the whole set on a business trip overseas. He claims they actually get better and better.

The first three films are almost a completely different franchise in terms of plot and tone.

I have not seen the last several, but I prefer the earlier ones. The later ones are no longer about street racing, and feature insane amounts of CGI. The last one I saw, the final chase was entirely CGI through a mining tunnel IIRC. I agree with Barrowdown in that the first three are very different. The third one especially is a bit of a one off in that it takes place in Japan with no Paul Walker and only a brief Diesel appearance at the end.
Whether you like the films or not, you have to admire a franchise that actually gets bigger and more successful as it progresses rather than grimly pumping out sequels nobody watches.

Same reason shitty Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers films keep getting made. There is no story left to tell but they get a billion globally.jpat wrote: As to why these keep getting made (apart from the fact that I've enjoyed them, which is probably the most important reason), domestically F8 has made over $200m, but to really get it you have to look at the worldwide (outside-US) market, where the movie's brought in so far a whopping $957m. I'm guessing F8 will finish under the $1.5b worldwide that F7 brought in, but it also had the unique element of Paul Walker's last performance in the series, and I'm not sure any studio's willing to turn down a $1b+ haul.

"I'm anxiously awaiting your review on on heterosexual porn" hahahahaha so awesome! Do you mean 50 shades of grey?JonJacob wrote: I've never watched a Fast and the Furious thing and probably never will but who cares... "Everything Barney Doesn't Watch" is a great idea. That leaves you tons of room... I'm anxiously awaiting your reviews on heterosexual porn.
