None of them have been objectively good movies. They're just fun and testosterone-filled which is their appeal.

I haven't seen 8 but I'm assuming like all recent Hollywood films, it's CGI overload.

Too retarded to watch.. I'm getting way to old for this shit..

Let's see get a bunch of stars and mix them up with guns, explosions, and hot cars.
I can summarzie the movie as wwwrrrrrrrrrrooooommmmmmm, bam bam bam, booooommmm!!

Ever seen Idiocracy. If you have then watch, the "ASS" movie is coming soon.

The movies are obviously getting more ridiculous, I don't think they'll ever top the bank vault scene in FF5 where Brian and Dom pull that huge vault down the street smashing everything in their way like a bowling ball. That was a great scene!

I agree - I think FF5 was the last movie that seemed to focus primarily around the cars without deviating quite as much. The 6, 7 and 8 films seemed to have significantly detoured from a car movie to more of a mission impossible/XXX type movie.

I still enjoy watching for what they are- and you have to set your expectation levels appropriately- but I do wish they went back to being movies centered around car racing.

Agreed. Fast5 was the last really decent one that was just over-the-top enough to be exciting. Now Hobbs is basically the Polynesian Hulk, Vin is Optimus Prime, and the cars are just afterthoughts. I still enjoyed the film, but I didn't love it. I'm basically hooked in just to see where they take the characters. Shaw's character I actually enjoyed, and he had the best action sequence of the film, but it doesn't make too much sense how he was a homicidal psychopath and now they are all buddies. The opening car race was a nice return to it's roots, but even that couldn't help itself from being way too over the top. I mean, what kind of ratio did that reverse gear have?!
