I haven't really been keeping up with the Fast and the Furious films since Fast Five, but I felt the need to see this now that Hobbs & Shaw is filming, as I do love me some Statham and Dwayne Johnson.
They still haven't managed to top (or even equal)
Fast Five for me, but I do enjoy the
Fast & Furious series for what it is. They might be the best modern-day equivalent I can think of for the ridiculous movies Arnie, Stallone and co. used to make in the 80s - just turn off you brain and enjoy some mad action spectacle.

Yeah, that always bugged me too. Nothing else he does even comes close to that opening scene.
I've also never really forgiven them for casting Statham as a villain, and not Frank from the
Transporter series for an awesome crossover

I think the eighth might be the best since the fifth. Which, now that I read it back, is a ridiculous statement.
Quote from: MudButt on Jan 15, 2019, 10:26:26 PMStatham and Dwayne are standouts in the eighth movie and Statham in particular gets the best scene in the movie.
The
Spoiler
bit on the plane? That sequence was class.
