I like each new entry less than the previoua because o felt they were all the same(though o don't remember which is which).I though all 3 were a good one-and-done deal for an evening at the cinemas.Maybe even lime the earlier entries after Tokyo Drift,which i hate.I was growing more and more indifferent as the series peogresses.

Barnack Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Quote becomes the soulless and bombastic drama Universal is shoving down our throats That expression rarely make much sense to me, but that is an extreme of it, it is not like it was hidden from the marketing or the previous entry, how are they shoving anything in anyone throats ?, people actively choose to see those movie, no one is ever forced (it is not like parents making a special effort for a kid movie). I suspect many people love more than they want to admit to watch movie that they will love to consider bad afterward and complain about (I even read somewhere, I watched all the Transformer and each were worst that the previous one...).

filmlover Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Gotta love this out of nowhere love for Tokyo Drift when it's basically been the completely forgotten, "let's pretty much sweep this under a rug" entry in the entire series this whole time.

How did they do that? They brought back one of the characters and they integrated it into Fast 7. If anything it is more well known now than before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Tokyo Drift is unironically like the second best of these films. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSLDC Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just read that they're screening Fast 8 only in one of the theaters in my country. 39 screenings tonight. Every 10 minutes. And every showing is sold out. All other movies will not get a single screening for the rest of the weekend in that theater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Tokyo Drift has had a 'cult' following for a while. Basically people who love fish outta water stories and love the myth of Japan and its culture. I.E, me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 How in the hell did Vin Diesel end up absorbing so much creative power? Sympathy from when Walker died (given the reports that he hated going to the set of Furious 7 every day following his death)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably when the series started to fall down without is cast, with Tokyo drift, turning the situation into we need those without contract actor back or we stop that franchise. He became a producer on Fast And Furious and the franchise jumped back to 130%, augmenting even more is power for the next one, what the studio could say to him for the next movie ? It must be common for stars of a franchise that want power to acquire it, if at one point their presence were necessary for the movie to happen and if the franchise use "weak" director, that accept to do movies with an actor/producer/studio that have final cut over them. Apparently he call the highest studio execs all the time, but it still does sound far from Cruise power on Mission Impossible.
