2 Fast 2 Furious was loaded with CGI race sequences, but the logic behind them was still somewhat grounded in reality. Ironically, as over the top as Fast Five was, most of the action was practical, which was a huge upgrade from the entirely CGI Fast and Furious reboot in 2009.  I would say Fast and Furious 6 is when the laws of physics were almost completely abandoned. Furious 7 is when the series fully embraced the Roger Moore era style of over the top gadget based action.

 

I believe it can be pinpointed as this moment

 

 

Not so much for the catch but for the fact that Diesel goes right into the windshield of a car and should logically be either dead or in traction, but instead the immediate next shot is this

"How did you know there'd be a car there to break our fall?"

"I didn't"

"A car there to break our fall" has to be the greatest line ever. The car broke his fall by him going through it's windshield 😂😂😂

So when will we get the first glimpse of WOM. Hoping this gets the franchise back on track after the last one.

A final final trailer the week of release? Man they must really not like the tracking they're seeing for such a desperate late marketing tactic.

 

Refuse to check out any spoilers. Want to experience what people are freaking out over with fresh eyes when I see it this weekend.

[TheDude391]

Starting to notice some of the critics who liked F9, don't like X. And then those who didn't like F9 are liking X. As someone who likes 9...not a promising sign for me ha.

 

Overall though, reactions are more positive than expected? I don't expect this to review great but it seems WOM might be decent as it's a fun time.

Yeah reactions today seems fine, feeling another case of very mixed reviews on MC but fresh on RT [like 65-70%] which can help it a bit 

[PrinceRico]

Good to hear. WOM should be good among Audiences.

2 more Jurassic movies with this level of quality and they'll run it into the ground as well, they almost did it with JP3.

So they need quality control, not revival as of now, i stand corrected.

Fallen Kingdom also had awful reception, just slightly better than Dominion.

Don't equate Internet with Audience.

 

Fallen Kingdom showed much better performance and trend than Dominion and it is there for everyone to see.

 

It wasn't slightly better, it was quite better.

[interiorgatordecorator]

yeah yea, its facing very negative headwinds, but the reason I cant commit to this flopping is that its trailers have been pretty good, just cant see an entry in such a well-known franchise truly collapsing with such decent trailers

It dropped from JW1 by 360 mln. Not sure what you mean by perfomance, I think it's just the case of a franchise being average Joe driven and not fan driven. The same movie with SW type of fanbase would result in much bigger drops and more noise.

It's not gonna happen, moneybags look at profit and not reception.

[Hatebox]

I've never seen any of these movies, but I'd vaguely assumed the shift to physics implausability happened because the series wanted to become a SH franchise in all but name. When your characters and cars can pretty much fly there's a lot more scope for sequels.

Did FK drop or JW overperformed.

 

And JW 2 with so called awful reception did same as Universally acclaimed Cultural Phenomenon Black Panther.

 

Fast & Furious franchise got a massive boost by Furious 7, and that carried over to Fast 8. But now they are coming back to their original range.

The SW sequel trilogy and JW trilogy ended up very similar funnily enough. First was phenomenon, second divided fanbase, third was a dumpster fire. Both trilogies even had their first directors leaving then coming back for the 3rd!
