Lol You haven't heard that Diesel forced a scene between Johnson and Statham to be cut a few days back? lmao. Dom has arguably become the least interesting person in the entire group so it's really not a surprise that Diesel is a diva about attention being taken away from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could only see below Vin's neck and it was ever so slightly blurred. It's so silly. I really want to know what their beef is. It's even more weird in the narrative sense when Hobbs is the person Dom turns on first. This should have meant that their next interaction should have been emotionally charged, instead I don't think we ever got their next interaction at all. The scene when Hobbs and Dom make eye contact post the betrayal should have been amazing, instead we get separate shots in which the 2 people aren't even in the same frame at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a nice tribute, made sense in context and would have got the same reaction from the audience. Thats actually a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 hmm I think being russian clouds my judgement I suppose it is less funny for non russians to watch this movie ridic plot with the submarine aside I enjoyed the jokes (too much directed at Roman & after a while it gets tiring) basically I was bit bored... Quote Damn, I totally forgot that he killed Han I cant forget that so ...the team really I cant see without Han & Gadot characters. I did like the plane sequence & zombie cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I will say, F8 might have had peak 'SUMBITCH' delivered by the Rock in this one. I like how he never really seems to say son of a bitch, he's into the brevity thing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shed a tear yeah. But it was an incredibly cheap ploy that was fully unearned They brought Brian up more than just the once....everytime they say "Buster", thats who they're talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, considering they never showed a body, I very, very, very much doubt we saw the last of Gal Gadot in these movies. Well I think it was ludacris who said something along the lines of "why would we work with you after everything you've done?" Which I'm sure implies Han and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I really enjoyed this. Was it my favorite? No, but I wasn't expecting it to be either. Too tired to go into detail, but my current rankings would go: 5 7 6/8 1 2 3/4 I enjoy every film to some level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I have been saying this with every entry since the 6th, but it would make so much sense to wrap this up with the next one. Seriously, Dom has a kid now. Isn't that the reason Brian "retired"? Because he has children? So wrap everything up with 9, and have Paul walker's brother come back again and cgi him (just a small part is all that's needed) so he can meet Dom's kid, because this series always puts an emphasis on family. It would just seem weird if he doesn't at least meet him. It would feel like everything came to a full circle if they do that. Plus, financially speaking, 7 was the peak. So they could at least finish while the box office is still good and not milk it too much. I know there's plans for 9 and 10 and there are a couple of loose ends, so this one can't be the end? Drop 10 and make 9 the last. Hell, this one could've been the last had there not been any loose ends. But one more can't hurt. Especially if some of it takes place in China.

DAJK Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's up there with the first one as my favourite in the franchise. The runtime went by extremely quickly, and it was hilarious (intentionally). I couldn't stop laughing during Statham's scene with the baby 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulder Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This movie was alright. I had a lot of issues with the convenient forgiveness towards Statham. Dude straight up murdered Han and they're palling around with him? Lmao 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I loved this. It's batshit crazy and I enjoyed the hell out of it because of that. Charlize Theron was easily the MVP, with Statham a close second. Yes, they defy the laws of physics beyond belief but why would we want something else? My biggest complaint is that the family is a bunch of sociopaths. Great fun. Second best in the series after 5. Theron had better be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheap and ugly way for the film to get out of the character tangle it created. Yeah Elena definitely did not deserve that. I appreciate the "Dom, you have an unknown son" subplot, but that was a sour way to handle it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
