I've watched every F&F movie and I've never felt the need to rant about them. Were they good? **** no! But a majority of them had some subjective enjoyment to them. There's been plenty of commentary about how it's just got outlandish. They even poke fun at it in their movies. However when you go on with a brother that became some kind of chaotic ex-government agent, and you need to go to space to defeat them. I kinda just lose faith. I mean come on. Some of the flashbacks to Dom & Jakobs childhood and relationship with their father was a nice touch. But you've just tried to push a bad guy for no reason. He somehow goes from fixing a race and accidentally killing his old man, to being a mother****ing super secret agent and then turning? For some reason? That's not explained. It's absolutely ridiculous. There's so much that could've been done to improve this movie. It clearly had a good potential storyline. But so much was shoved into it that was absolutely unnecessary. F&F brings back Mia to just have another familiar face and make it feel like Paul Walker was still alive but you could've at least done some scenes about her and Jakobs relationship together, to actually make it feel like you're not jerking to ex-14 year old boys (Including me) nostalgia of watching F&F in the movies 10 years ago.
I know they've planned another movie, and it would honestly surprise me if it didn't continue further, but this is getting kinda crazy.
