    This franchise is long overdue. The original is a good watch, as is the Tokyo connection. But beyond that it is wasted time.

      Idk, i find it funny to see the ship burn. Dominic is now a literal super hero. He knows car-fu und we are one or two movies away of seeing him lift and throw a car.

        Pretty sure everyone involved either knows it flew over the shark many movies ago, or if they don’t are being laughed at by the rest of the crew.

        I swear if you watch it looking closely you will see the actors to break character and laugh at the absurd shit they are doing.

        Yeah, used to be one of those “why watch they’re stupid” people, but now eh it’s fun. My family gets together to laugh at how ridiculous they are. And yeah, they’ll keep making more as long as we’re watching but hey, we’re having fun.

          I liked the first one because i was 18 at the time. The second one i was already like… Okaaaay, i don’t care anymore. Now i find them more entertaining than ever. Because nothing makes sense anymore.
          One of the last movies Dom was in this sewers kinda thing with his girlfriend (?). They ran away from some bad guys. Dom then locked the hatch in front of him, locking himself in with the baddies, his girl being on the other side of the hatch. She didn’t run away, she just stood there and watched. He then pulled on some chains, ripping down some concrete bridge with his bare hands, crushing the bad guys, and he then opened the hatch again and they left together. Honestly that was one of the funniest scenes i have ever seen in a movie.
          The movies used to be action and car movies. And they are not very good at that. But if you watch them like a neil breen or a tommy wiseau movie, they are funny as hell
