The Fate of the Furious

The film starts out on the streets of Cuba with Dom doing some street racing to help out a relative.

Dom (Vin Diesel) is honeymooning in Cuba with Letty but married bliss does not last for long. A cyber terrorist called Cipher (Charlize Theron) has something on Dom, enough to get him to turn his back on his family and go rogue.

Hobbs ends up in jail because of Dom's betrayal. Even worse he is the same block as Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) the man he put in jail in the last film.

Mr Nobody (Kurt Russell) manipulates both Hobbs and Shaw to team up, together with Dom's crew they go after Cipher.

The film has several big action pieces the best of which are auto-driven cars being hacked an causing mayhem in the streets of New York. T...

Might be the dumbest of the franchise to date, and if nothing else, that's an achievement. More importantly, Fate of the Furious continues the tradition that the series has upheld since all the way back in the... half-way point: Fast 5. That was when these movies actually got bearable, and Fate of the Furious delivers on the promise of that fun.

Final rating:½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didnt quite work as a whole.

Fast + Eight = Fate

We all miss Paul Walker here, but the franchise has grown bigger with more new casts from a couple of previous installments and with this, still counting. Yes, it marks the arrival of Jason Stathom as hinted at the end of the previous part, as well as Charlize Theron in the negative role. And guest appearance of veteran actors. This is where the bald guys rule. One of the most unique franchise.

This is the costliest film in the series, but did not earn as much as 'Fast 7' did. At least it stands second out of the eight. Now the billion dollar club becoming normal. The best thing about this series is, the race days are over. It's now more a cop-thief kind of cat- mouse action-adventure game that moves all around...

This movie could easily have been a five out of five stars movie. The story is not that bad but the script and the special effects are absolutely ludicrous. Do not get me wrong, the special effects are, in terms of visual effects quality, really good but they are also utterly unbelievable.

What kind of total idiot did they put to play out his juvenile wet FX dreams on this one? I do not mind over the top special effects and I do not demand 100% realism, at least not in a movie like this, but the effects in this one is just so unbelievable and unintelligent that it really spoils the fun. Take submarines that outrun speeding carswhile acting as ice breakers at the same time. How the hell did they get...

I was forced to go see this with my girlfriend and her best friend.

While objecting to the film, I summarized the plot for them garnered off of knowledge achieved by watching a single trailer...including all coming twists.

It turns out that I was correct on all counts.

The question you have to ask yourself is..."Do you really want to see a movie that is that predictable?" I know I didn't.
