Negro please. I can and have tolerated a lot of foolishness in movies and been entertained by it, but at a certain point I can't do it anymore. Especially when the characters go so far off from what you originally knew them to be. I started from the opening weekend of the first movie...held back the vomit that came from seeing Bow Wow in Tokyo....I tolerated Dom and Letty crashing into each other at 80 mph and the 56 mile long airplane runway.....but Dom deadlifting the car then Hulk stomping the curb was the absolute cutoff point for me. What would be yours? Dom breathing fireballs at enemies? Time travel?

I have no desire to watch this new one or Transformers. I stuck it out for both franchises til this point....but nah

I mean at this point they might as well have super powers...

I am only here for the fukkery

With how the rock graduated from ripping off mounted machine guns to guiding torpedoes with his hands...him and dom better just flat out be throwing cars at each other in the next movie...
When he picked up the supercar in Dubai so Paul's character could work underneath it. :bryan:
Then they flew the car through three skyscrapers and came out totally unscathed. :dead:

It was already over the top but l only got mad when after a drawn out fukkery bonanza in Part 7 with Dom being an Earth-bender and the Rock one handing a turret and shooting a bag of grenades with pinpoint accuracy.

They turned around and tried to do a sad ass tribute :hhh: RIP Paul Walker but that finale made my brain numb, I couldn't even feel sad.

I'm not 100% against the over-the-top action (more like 85% over it), but I'm pretty sure no main characters die.

That's what gets me about these type of movies.

Vin Diesel probably doesn't die at the end of it, probably going to be on some "he turned bad for a good reason, to get close to and capture so-and-so..." then now he's good again.

If he ends up killing somebody it'll be some new member of the team or some minor character on the team who was going to betray them and was bad anyway, etc.

I haven't even watched two FaF movies, but have seen enough of these types of movies to know what's going to happen. It's a shame because I think the cast is legit.

Sure its over the top fukkery. But if we look back at most of the action flicks in the 80's and 90's the best ones were over the top.

I enjoy the movies for what they are. Ridiculous fukkery, cars, and stunts.

They turned a movie that was initially a Pointe Break rip off into a mixture of Oceans 11, Transporter, and Jason Bourne. shyt is amazing when you think of it.

That's what's amazing to me about this series as an outsider. I've only ever seen the first one, which was a fun popcorn flick when I was 14.

But the premise of the series started in street car drag racing in Cali. Now it's a roided out Ocean's 11 meets The Expendables...HOW SWAY?!

nikkas talmbout bringing the franchise back to its roots and being realistic?:dahell:No doubt.

The next F&F takes us back to the world of illegal street racing. Vin Diesel sells loud on the side to afford customizations to his whip. He gets all the respect and ratchet p*ssy the racing circuit can offer. One fateful day Dom meets Brian, an undercover cop with an oxycontin addiction, played by Paul Walker. Brian is trying to work his way into bringing down Dom's multi-thousand dollar marijuana enterprise and challenges him to a race to gain his respect. They link up at the popular racing strip in town and it's a lituation. The race starts and Dom takes a commanding lead. Desperate, Brian flips the NOS switch and makes a huge comeback. Alas, he used the NOS too early, Dom uses the same tactic and crosses the finish line a second before Brian, t-boning a sedan carrying a family of four on their way home from Outback steak house. The two children in the back seat die on impact, as does the father driving. The wife in the front passenger seat survives but loses both legs. Dom and Brian are both arrested for illegal street racing, Dom is charged with three counts of vehicular homicide and is sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. The streets of Los Angeles suffer a minimal loss of subpar weed in the process. Brian is kicked off the force. He moves to Miami where he reconnects with childhood friend Tyrese whose singing career has seen better days. Vowing to never get behind the wheel again, Brian and Tyrese resort to petty credit card scams to pay for Brian's oxy and studio time for Tyrese. The end.

That could actually make a billi:ehh:
