*They should have just quit after 7.* *The ending with Paul driving off would be the perfect ending and be more respectful towards Paul. After all, wasn’t Paul meant to be the protagonist?*
Paul said there will be 10, so they wanna honor him. But then there will be 11. I guess sometimes you should sacrifice some honor and dignity for money.
They aren't street racing films anymore, they've been action flicks since at least Fast Five. Tokyo Drift didn't make much money, and it's arguably the best from a street racing / car enthusiast perspective. Meanwhile as soon as they've went for more and more action they've made much more money.
only till Tokyo drift I can remember what actually happens in the movies, the movies after that were so generic that I literally forgot what happened. I have to admit the writing wasn the best in the first movies but it gave something that lots of car guys enjoy instead of these B tier action movies
@ProtogenCantEatThis Because they have turned into mindless, drooling stunts and special effects with no plot and no basis in the real world. I thought he said it pretty well.
@ProtogenCantEatThis I agree completely. Actually, the only really good F&F movies were the first three but since 4 and 5 were prequels and were not yet totally over the top, I include them in my suggestion.
1 and 2 are the OG's for sure, tokiyo drift was just not on the same page as the first two. The last good one was ff4, after that it went down hill asfuck

Fast and furious ended on #7 in my opinion. That closing scene saying goodbye to Paul, that shoulda been it. It would have been such an incredible way to end the series while it was still on top. One last "Family" speech by Vin Diesel, the flashbacks to Paul in the previous episodes, the whole theatre audience in tears... That should have been it.
@@Bikaz Yup, very true! They have no desire to leave a legacy, its milk the legacy until there is nothing left. And honestly from a business standpoint, you cannot blame them. But being a fan of the franchise, it sure is sad to see where it has gone since.
Asking Universal to return to the original feel of F&F is like asking EA to give us a reboot of Need For Speed Underground. Even when they try, it ends up feeling dull and uninteresting. Those days are long gone.
Really there are two sides in the NFS world. The original super cars and police chase crowd and the tuners with unlimited modifications crowd. EA needs to find a way to satisfy both sides. I started playing NFS way back on Windows 98, NFS High Stakes. So I am a fan of both styles of NFS myself.

They literally trolled the fans the entire movie because Roman kept insisting that they’re all like immortals since they do all this shit and always end up without a scratch
I haven't seen 8 and I won't see 9 and I started out LOVING these movies. I was 20 when the first one came out. I actually felt it when Paul Walker passed and the ending of 7 legit made me cry in the theater. That's where it ended for me. These movies are why I'm into tuner cars and not muscle cars. The Fast movies, the first three anyway will always be special. RIP Paul Walker RIP Nicky Hayden.
@@thomaspanditfan2435 The writing was not the best, but to me, the writing was pretty bad for all of the films. Especially once I began to learn more about cars and actually drive. lol But I guess when you becoming even remotely knowledgeable about anything, it ruins a movie.

Yeah , it was like the director/ producers were taking the piss knowing no matter what stupid shit they make fans are gonna pay money to sit there and watch it .. FF9 was rubbish but the studio is laughing all the way to the bank.
Mad Max: Fury Road is a car chase movie that should be the benchmark for all car chase movies. Despite some superhuman qualities to the protagonists, the movie does not make you cringe at the absurdity of it all.
One thing that always stood out to me (in a sense) was at the end of 2 Fast 2 Furious when Carter Verone says “I’ll see you soon”. It wouldn’t be as big a plot as saving the world but it would certainly go a long way in bringing the franchise back down to earth (literally) in having him break out of prison and kill off a character. I fear that with the way the franchise is now and Universal’s direction of “bigger is better (and more financially viable)” that wouldn’t happen. But it’s certainly an idea or way in which we can bring the franchise back around - I’m unsure how you’d weave the car racing back into it but given we’ve now gone to space in Fast 9, anything is possible
great video. about bond movies i can agree. me and my family and family friends also agree your thoughts. 2 of those were hardcore 007 fans. when i showed this video to them they were like that guy is so right.
The cool thing about the first moves is that we could see the cars we really see everyday and afford .We can see it and say wow I see my car in the move tuned up but now you see Tanks Submarine Exotic cars that only the rich can have and that's all good but it's not what made us love the move
and not have made billions of dollars with the following movies and toys and all that? Movies are an industry, money in the end is the main goal for most of it :)
The 5th was when I said that the franchise was dead. When they chose to skip a street race, I knew it was over. Now the movies are just dumb actionflicks, thats okay, but its not F&F to me
I'd like if they would explore the origins of the characters, like what happened before 1st F&F. How did Dom pack-up with the friends he had in F&F1, how did he land in the jail as he mentions it in F&F1 during escape with Brian etc. etc. Just so we could get more realistic story before they becomed killing machines.
They explain a tiny bit on how everyone met in the first one. I do agree that a prologue would be interesting on how they entered the street racing scene and Dom and Letty start dating. Sadly I don't think we are ever going to see that.
I think 5 should have been the one where they finished it because each character was happy like they all made enough money and then they could have retired but then they decided to bring back letty for no reason
Also the reputation of the franchise was still good unlike today where I would say is laughable and the movies are all a mess with lots of plot holes and nonsense. Fast five should have been end.
@@thomaspanditfan2435 well they could just made another of those short movies like turbo charged prelude to explain how Han ended up in Tokyo but I still think that after 5 they said "f*ck it" and went complete nuts with the franchise. Still 6 and 7 are not as bad as 8 and 9 which are just a joke but that's just personal preference I guess. Interesting to see other points of view
@@miguelcf2506 for me it ended at 7. Except the car harpooning scene, I don't like anything from 8. If 10 and 11 some freaking how are able to give a good redemption to this franchise, then maybe, just maybe it could top 5 or 7. Also, killing of someone as important as Giselle in a short film instead of the final battle of an actual movie, feels really cheap. Most probably won't even see it. That's the same thing that happened during the 4th one. Everyone including me kept on asking who are these other people and how the hell does Dom know Han. It was only after I watched Los bandelaros in 2017 I got to know how
For me, the current "Fast and Furious" movies are just action-fiction movies with the actors from the original movies, I don't go to the cinema and pay to see these movies, I see them on television 1-2 years after, and they are movies I only watch once because they're so ridiculous, while the originals movies I have DVDs and I've seen many times.
Same I've seen the original and the second and Tokyo one dvd I own them on DVD. I decently think they desperately need a reboot especially if there gonna make f10 and f11. Also I hope they somehow bring Brian back even digitally.
I agree they should've ended the franchise with Furious 7. It was a perfect ending/conclusion to the franchise, the characters & of course Paul Walker.
Next thing you know, Gal Godot didn't die, becomes a reveal in the post credit scene in Fast 10, becomes a major player in Fast 11, and will be in an all-girl spin-off. This franchise should have ended at 7.
21:23 "For those of you that don't follow politics and don't care about WW3 coming, it's not a big deal to you." Man, that subtle delicate satire in this one... nice.
Even tokyo drift is actually a kick ass movie. Just because Paul and Vin aren't main characters it was hated on. But for what it truly is, its fast 1 tokyo style. But yes fast 2 is awesome I enjoyed watching it just as much as fast 1 and 3
There is such a massive market for another car culture franchise now. I'm heavily into modified cars and own plenty of 90s JDM cars. I have MANY friends that relive the first few f&f movies up to Tokyo drift which personally I love the most. Now they are just overdone boring average action movies. Someone out there needs to, literally, bring it back down to earth. Car guys hate what f&f has become.
Yup after Tokyo Drift it was all down hill from there. It's literally not the same franchise anymore 🤦♂️. Tokyo drift had some much potential at the time of release due to "Formula Drift" being huge on TV. They really should of built on that 🤷♂️.
Honestly, I feel like even though 2F and Tokyo Drift were solid (Solid as in I dig both of 'em, I'm not a film critic by any means lmao) the series could've gone in an entirely different direction after the original; "Turbocharged Prelude" could've easily been a full sequel if the writers focused a bit more on the crime drama side of things, like Brian being on the run and some of the racing in the meantime instead of cutting to the chase with 2F. Obviously it's a bit of a pipe dream at this point, but one of my best friends and I were talking about where the series went wrong just a few days ago and I figured I might as well throw out that suggestion, y'know?
The bullshit started with the second movie. Jumping the Camaro on a boat or that ejecting seat on the Challenger?! It was infantile and I was glad that Tokyo Drift was a little more mature again in the cosmos of those movies, but it wouldn't last...
Mr. Nobody is Jesse's Dad and turns out to be the main villain because he blames Dom for Jesse's death. Cypher dies in Fast 10. Jesse will turn out to be alive in Fast 11 and when Nobody finds out he calls off the war. No dinner scene in Fast 10. Dinner in Fast 11 will include CGI Paul and Dom and the series will end on a last race where Dom wrecked in Fast 1. The train will pass behind them as they drive away from the camera to block the viewer from knowing who won. Fade to black.
They also do shit that is completely unrealistic, who the fuck is gonna get away with flying a weaponized military grade chopper in downtown Los Angeles for more than 5 sec without being shot down
We forgetting one thing😎: Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system. 🙌🏼
The first 3 movies are my favorite movies of all time. They influenced my life into a HUGE car nerd. I've seen the films countless times; worn out VHS copies, and even 1 DVD. From 4th grade to my mid 30s, I'm at the point of refusing to pay to watch the 9th installment. It's the end of a GREAT era......
Absolutely loved 1 and 3. And I genuinely do not remember much that happened from 4 thru 8 (probably wont watch 9) I remember them being entertaining though.
I cared for the first 3, after that I never saw another movie of those. Is like they now care to connect special effects rather than what was supposed to be.
Dom literally, LITERALLY came down alongside a fucking parking garage and didn't die or even get seriously injured. These people are fucking superheroes at this point
I think its funny that everyone judges Tokyo drift as the worst because it had bad box office. It wasn't because of the no one reacts to see the cars, it was because it's the only one that did not headline Paul or Vin.
I haven't watched the movies after 7 except for Hobbs N Shaw out of pure curiosity. 7 was a good note to end on, and i just stuck to that. Glad I've only seen a synopsis of the follow up movies. I never intend to watch them
100% agree. The original got me into cars and shed light on a lifestyle. I kind of walked away dumbfounded after seeing Fast 9. I don't understand how Universal approved this story. The movie is an insult to everything Fast and the Furious was built on.
I personally felt like it should have ended after Tokyo Drift. I completely lost the story everything after that. Cars went from most average people can afford to only high earning price tags. Storyline went from believable to nonse scenarios & cheesy lines. Every movie after Paul Walkers death is just pure greed.
Facts. I miss the old ones not 4 etc the rest aren't the same. Till this day I keep watching the first one over and over again. I think it's way better than the new ones.
@@kingdiamond775 it is. It’s the only one where they showed you can illegally street race but showed to to keep the pediatricians safe. The rest is of the movies is why we have locos in real life driving crazy
I think the only character who has so far actually stayed dead is Giselle, and I think the only reason why is because Gal Gadot took on the role of Wonder Woman. With the Transformers franchise, they killed Optimus Prime Edit: Fast 9 premiering first in China definitely proves that the franchise isn't going back to street racing because China doesn't have a strong car culture
yeah good point. the hobbs character even got watered- down from what he originally was as serious and intimidating... he should have been in one movie and that was it. he was the star of fast 5 but it was ruined from there. "hobbs and shaw" LOL... himself and statham are literally winking at the camera the whole time. I am still confused... is that series meant be be a comedy spin- off??? as I say, the whole series ending at 5 would have been great and enough.
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have just stayed true to street racing.. the super hero crap killed the franchise. They were normal people before that.
I totally agree I feel like 1st, 2, 3 and 4 movies were the best, after f5 I wasn't to much interested any more since it had nothing to do with street racing, but they were still I guess ok movies, but when paul died, the movie were not the same with out him, fast and furious is nothing with out the buster
I personally love the flashback scenes even the starting Universal logo that was the past logo I instantly knew the movie was starting in the past dom always mentioned that stuff and now I finally got to visualize it
Still wish the flashback Street race had tuner cars and neon lights like the first film though. Done shoulda came back a couple years later in his red RX7
2 did bad because Vin Diesel was gone. 3 did bad because it looked, at the surface, like a cheap spinoff without Paul Walker or Vin Diesel. 4 did better because it brought them back. My opinion. After that we got a generation of people who are incredibly dumbed down and need loud noises to keep their attention.
Nailed it. The first and the third movie I can watch over and over again, but once the team reached international superhero tier, I felt the soul of the movie was just ripped out. I miss the classic street racing focus.
Yeah I completely agree fast four was the last one that was watchable for me because it still contained a lot of car content even if it was absurd and unexplainable I still got to look at cool cars and that was one of the big draws for me to fast and furious getting to see cool cars and catching them saying stupid shit like the famous double clutch comment but now it’s just how can they be more ridiculous than they were before but it’s too ridiculous for me to even be able to shut my brain off too and I smoke a ton of weed
Universal doesn't need quality writing. They've got family.

But then there will be 11.
I guess sometimes you should sacrifice some honor and dignity for money.
Paul WAS the protagonist, until Vin Diesel stole that spot.
It seems originally they wanted to because of the flashback stuff the put in. It would have been a perfect ending to the series.
@@EyeGlower i think its 10 with him, but i see your point, sigh

At this point. I'm just waiting for Jesse to come back
Lol then they'll have Johnny Tran will come back as well and Jesse and him will work together because the past is the past, they're family now

Mad Max: Fury Road is a car chase movie that should be the benchmark for all car chase movies. Despite some superhuman qualities to the protagonists, the movie does not make you cringe at the absurdity of it all.
The series *desperately* needs a reboot and maybe have someone who knows and likes cars at the helm
A bit like the MCU
How in the Hell did some street racing punks turn into Special Forces? It has become too Far Fetched!
I love the real honest reviews and open talk here about the movies
I tapped out when Paul Walker died. I really only ever enjoyed the first three, however.
same for me its to much action fantasy movies now and when Walker died i walked away from TFAF.
RIP Brian.
One thing that always stood out to me (in a sense) was at the end of 2 Fast 2 Furious when Carter Verone says “I’ll see you soon”. It wouldn’t be as big a plot as saving the world but it would certainly go a long way in bringing the franchise back down to earth (literally) in having him break out of prison and kill off a character. I fear that with the way the franchise is now and Universal’s direction of “bigger is better (and more financially viable)” that wouldn’t happen. But it’s certainly an idea or way in which we can bring the franchise back around - I’m unsure how you’d weave the car racing back into it but given we’ve now gone to space in Fast 9, anything is possible
Fuck heists, gimme street racing.
great video. about bond movies i can agree. me and my family and family friends also agree your thoughts. 2 of those were hardcore 007 fans. when i showed this video to them they were like that guy is so right.
The cool thing about the first moves is that we could see the cars we really see everyday and afford .We can see it and say wow I see my car in the move tuned up but now you see Tanks Submarine Exotic cars that only the rich can have and that's all good but it's not what made us love the move
Should’ve ended after Tokyo Drift. Everything else sucked.
Big facts 👍🏻
Bruh, tokyo was the worst one of them all. 1 and 2 are the real ones and ff4 was just on the edge but was cool
Fast 4 was okay considering the bullshit of the other movies...
and not have made billions of dollars with the following movies and toys and all that? Movies are an industry, money in the end is the main goal for most of it :)
It died with Paul Walker. Fast 7 was the last ill ever see.
The 5th was when I said that the franchise was dead. When they chose to skip a street race, I knew it was over. Now the movies are just dumb actionflicks, thats okay, but its not F&F to me
The series ended with Tokyo Drift with me. Every other movie afterwards is comedically bad.
I'd like if they would explore the origins of the characters, like what happened before 1st F&F. How did Dom pack-up with the friends he had in F&F1, how did he land in the jail as he mentions it in F&F1 during escape with Brian etc. etc. Just so we could get more realistic story before they becomed killing machines.
They explain a tiny bit on how everyone met in the first one. I do agree that a prologue would be interesting on how they entered the street racing scene and Dom and Letty start dating. Sadly I don't think we are ever going to see that.
I think 5 should have been the one where they finished it because each character was happy like they all made enough money and then they could have retired but then they decided to bring back letty for no reason
Also the reputation of the franchise was still good unlike today where I would say is laughable and the movies are all a mess with lots of plot holes and nonsense. Fast five should have been end.
@@miguelcf2506 6 and 7 were more of a perfect end
Wouldn't have made much sense. Seeing that Tokyo drift was still left to happen. And that leaves a lot more plot holes than ya think
@@thomaspanditfan2435 well they could just made another of those short movies like turbo charged prelude to explain how Han ended up in Tokyo but I still think that after 5 they said "f*ck it" and went complete nuts with the franchise. Still 6 and 7 are not as bad as 8 and 9 which are just a joke but that's just personal preference I guess. Interesting to see other points of view
@@miguelcf2506 for me it ended at 7. Except the car harpooning scene, I don't like anything from 8. If 10 and 11 some freaking how are able to give a good redemption to this franchise, then maybe, just maybe it could top 5 or 7.
Also, killing of someone as important as Giselle in a short film instead of the final battle of an actual movie, feels really cheap. Most probably won't even see it. That's the same thing that happened during the 4th one. Everyone including me kept on asking who are these other people and how the hell does Dom know Han. It was only after I watched Los bandelaros in 2017 I got to know how
For me, the current "Fast and Furious" movies are just action-fiction movies with the actors from the original movies, I don't go to the cinema and pay to see these movies, I see them on television 1-2 years after, and they are movies I only watch once because they're so ridiculous, while the originals movies I have DVDs and I've seen many times.
Same I've seen the original and the second and Tokyo one dvd I own them on DVD. I decently think they desperately need a reboot especially if there gonna make f10 and f11. Also I hope they somehow bring Brian back even digitally.
I agree they should've ended the franchise with Furious 7. It was a perfect ending/conclusion to the franchise, the characters & of course Paul Walker.
Next thing you know, Gal Godot didn't die, becomes a reveal in the post credit scene in Fast 10, becomes a major player in Fast 11, and will be in an all-girl spin-off.
This franchise should have ended at 7.
that's a good thing with the spin-off film but unfortunately after 7 they can't stopped for some reason they keep continue
21:23 "For those of you that don't follow politics and don't care about WW3 coming, it's not a big deal to you." Man, that subtle delicate satire in this one... nice.
I don't understand the hate towards 2 Fast 2 Furious?
That movie was really good and it's my personal favorite.
Even tokyo drift is actually a kick ass movie. Just because Paul and Vin aren't main characters it was hated on. But for what it truly is, its fast 1 tokyo style. But yes fast 2 is awesome I enjoyed watching it just as much as fast 1 and 3
@@jk_46 yeah man the first 3 movies are the best!
Forget about it cuh
not sure why the bad reviews, but I always feel that tokyo drift is the second best movie in this franchise, right after the first one
High jacking trucks and illegal street racing became The Avengers.
And a bit of hancock
It took 9 movies for me to finally agree with this. God damn this last one was fucking horrible. I'm a huge fan but damn I'm done with that shit.
There is such a massive market for another car culture franchise now. I'm heavily into modified cars and own plenty of 90s JDM cars. I have MANY friends that relive the first few f&f movies up to Tokyo drift which personally I love the most.
Now they are just overdone boring average action movies. Someone out there needs to, literally, bring it back down to earth. Car guys hate what f&f has become.
Yup after Tokyo Drift it was all down hill from there. It's literally not the same franchise anymore 🤦♂️. Tokyo drift had some much potential at the time of release due to "Formula Drift" being huge on TV. They really should of built on that 🤷♂️.
Honestly, I feel like even though 2F and Tokyo Drift were solid (Solid as in I dig both of 'em, I'm not a film critic by any means lmao) the series could've gone in an entirely different direction after the original; "Turbocharged Prelude" could've easily been a full sequel if the writers focused a bit more on the crime drama side of things, like Brian being on the run and some of the racing in the meantime instead of cutting to the chase with 2F. Obviously it's a bit of a pipe dream at this point, but one of my best friends and I were talking about where the series went wrong just a few days ago and I figured I might as well throw out that suggestion, y'know?
I heard that they're going to race the Avengers in the next movie for the mushroom cup in super mario.
I'm just looking forward to fast 33 when the pizza boy is actually Jesse's brother and goes for revenge
The bullshit started with the second movie. Jumping the Camaro on a boat or that ejecting seat on the Challenger?! It was infantile and I was glad that Tokyo Drift was a little more mature again in the cosmos of those movies, but it wouldn't last...
Mr. Nobody is Jesse's Dad and turns out to be the main villain because he blames Dom for Jesse's death. Cypher dies in Fast 10. Jesse will turn out to be alive in Fast 11 and when Nobody finds out he calls off the war. No dinner scene in Fast 10. Dinner in Fast 11 will include CGI Paul and Dom and the series will end on a last race where Dom wrecked in Fast 1. The train will pass behind them as they drive away from the camera to block the viewer from knowing who won. Fade to black.
.... again, no one remembers Leon ! 🤔
@@michaelb6729 a spin off?
@@michaelb6729 I do and still want to know what happen to him
@@mathomgen9122 he has an illegal Motorex R33 and is on the run from the feds ! 😆
I DID THE REMAKE FOR MY FAMILY LOL
Fast 10 should be a Transformers origin storyline. Dom gets cybernetic implants and becomes Optimus Prime. Autobots, I mean family, roll out!
GI Joe had a transformers cross over at one point soI don’t see why we shouldn’t do the same with Fast and Furious.
@@Jdmking-kp1mu where?
They also do shit that is completely unrealistic, who the fuck is gonna get away with flying a weaponized military grade chopper in downtown Los Angeles for more than 5 sec without being shot down
We forgetting one thing😎:
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
🙌🏼
🤣🤣🤣
So what are you saying? You're going to go around checking everyone's shit out, one garage after another?
The first 3 movies are my favorite movies of all time. They influenced my life into a HUGE car nerd. I've seen the films countless times; worn out VHS copies, and even 1 DVD. From 4th grade to my mid 30s, I'm at the point of refusing to pay to watch the 9th installment. It's the end of a GREAT era......
Is there actually going to be a 10 and 11?
Why is reverse cowgirl illegal in Alabama?
Because you can't turn your back on family.🥰
Damn 😂
bruh, you haven’t seen the memes?
As an Alabamian myself I got a pretty good laugh at this.
sometimes i think they are self aware and just making the new movies as a troll lmao.
Fair. Internet made jokes about going to space b4 they revealed gays indeed what would be happening
If you've seen Fast 9 it's clear they're self aware about the absurdity, there is a talk there by Roman that shows it xD.
@@Peinfull87 i seen it shortly after making this comment. at least their characters are self aware 😂.
Absolutely loved 1 and 3. And I genuinely do not remember much that happened from 4 thru 8 (probably wont watch 9) I remember them being entertaining though.
Agreed.
Tokyo drift was the last great F&F film
The Fast & The Furious franchise is the Call of Duty of the film industry
Call of duty actually makes decent games every now and then
Gta
Anything after Tokyo drift just doesn’t exist to me
I cared for the first 3, after that I never saw another movie of those. Is like they now care to connect special effects rather than what was supposed to be.
That submarine scene was actually cringe. Even Cinema Sins lost it when ripping that movie apart, the Sin Counter "broke"😂
Its absolutely unfortunate that Tokyo Drift was the poorest box office performer. It was arguably one of the best ones (imo of course)
From mission impossible to mission freaking insanity "Roman Pierce" 🤣🤣
Dom literally, LITERALLY came down alongside a fucking parking garage and didn't die or even get seriously injured. These people are fucking superheroes at this point
I think its funny that everyone judges Tokyo drift as the worst because it had bad box office. It wasn't because of the no one reacts to see the cars, it was because it's the only one that did not headline Paul or Vin.
I don't. It was the only one worth watching.
@@danieljessop7140 I liked Tokyo Drift also. I was a departure from the usual story line of F&F, plus Han
it's been a cash grab for about 6 movies now.
and FF9 sucks balls.
It died after Tokyo drift.
That's what I thought had happened when I first saw that one.......and then they made more -_-
I thought Tokyo Drift was reach then .
It should go back to its old routes for the final installment. because it started with that.
Fast and the Furious 10
They use cars that can drive under water, and they discover the lost city Atlantis.

@@theflorgeormix FAST 9 SPOILERS COMING UP :
Roman and Tej already did lol...!
@@theflorgeormix
That’s pretty damn dumb because they already freakin did that in the 9th damn movie.
I enjoyed fast and furious up until Tokyo drift, anything after that I got less and less interested in every movie. Fast 7 was the last one I watched.
I haven't watched the movies after 7 except for Hobbs N Shaw out of pure curiosity. 7 was a good note to end on, and i just stuck to that. Glad I've only seen a synopsis of the follow up movies. I never intend to watch them
if they don't fight the avengers in the next movie I ain't gonna watch it
They have to make at least 1 more and it has to be called Fast 10 your seat belts.

Thank you

Hope to live enough for see F&F v Transformers
100% agree. The original got me into cars and shed light on a lifestyle. I kind of walked away dumbfounded after seeing Fast 9. I don't understand how Universal approved this story. The movie is an insult to everything Fast and the Furious was built on.
I personally felt like it should have ended after Tokyo Drift. I completely lost the story everything after that. Cars went from most average people can afford to only high earning price tags. Storyline went from believable to nonse scenarios & cheesy lines. Every movie after Paul Walkers death is just pure greed.
Facts. I miss the old ones not 4 etc the rest aren't the same. Till this day I keep watching the first one over and over again. I think it's way better than the new ones.
@@kingdiamond775 it is. It’s the only one where they showed you can illegally street race but showed to to keep the pediatricians safe. The rest is of the movies is why we have locos in real life driving crazy
Disneys Cars has more to do with fast n furious at this point...
Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'milking'.
I think the only character who has so far actually stayed dead is Giselle, and I think the only reason why is because Gal Gadot took on the role of Wonder Woman. With the Transformers franchise, they killed Optimus Prime
Edit: Fast 9 premiering first in China definitely proves that the franchise isn't going back to street racing because China doesn't have a strong car culture
You are absolutely right about fast 7 being the perfect ending for the series
10:58 Did I missed the movie where Dom's crew went through Special Forces training, which one was that, a spinoff? Nicely summed up
You nailed it! The franchise ended at 7. The first 3 movies were the best. My favorite being the original.
This franchise died with Paul Walker
F10: Elon musk recruits everyone to go to Mars and Roman pierce gets a v8 swapped Tesla
As soon as you add The Rock to a cast, you get a cartoon superhero movie. The guy is just a caricature of Captain America in all his movies.
yeah good point. the hobbs character even got watered- down from what he originally was as serious and intimidating... he should have been in one movie and that was it. he was the star of fast 5 but it was ruined from there. "hobbs and shaw" LOL... himself and statham are literally winking at the camera the whole time. I am still confused... is that series meant be be a comedy spin- off???
as I say, the whole series ending at 5 would have been great and enough.
They went from stealing dvd to saving the world
This franchise is like Saints Row. It started as games about taking over gangs to being superhumans living into a batshit crazy fever dream
Fast 9 was the worst movie I've seen in years. A straight up money grab. They need to either make it car focused again or quit making them.
Yeah, want some gritty street racing again. Time to bring it back!
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have just stayed true to street racing.. the super hero crap killed the franchise. They were normal people before that.
I won't even watch fast 9. I don't want to ruin my fond memories .
Same
but surely the franchise won't stop before telling us to 'fast-10 your seat belt'
They need to bury that Franchise. It ran its course.
I totally agree I feel like 1st, 2, 3 and 4 movies were the best, after f5 I wasn't to much interested any more since it had nothing to do with street racing, but they were still I guess ok movies, but when paul died, the movie were not the same with out him, fast and furious is nothing with out the buster
Fast 5 should have been the last one.
I personally love the flashback scenes even the starting Universal logo that was the past logo I instantly knew the movie was starting in the past dom always mentioned that stuff and now I finally got to visualize it
Still wish the flashback Street race had tuner cars and neon lights like the first film though. Done shoulda came back a couple years later in his red RX7
They could've made a pretty good movie based on those flashbacks alone, but dudebros just want MOAR stunts and Universal is happy to oblige.
@@baker6928 at the time they were in I don't know if tuner cars and neon were a thing yet
2 did bad because Vin Diesel was gone. 3 did bad because it looked, at the surface, like a cheap spinoff without Paul Walker or Vin Diesel. 4 did better because it brought them back. My opinion. After that we got a generation of people who are incredibly dumbed down and need loud noises to keep their attention.
Nailed it. The first and the third movie I can watch over and over again, but once the team reached international superhero tier, I felt the soul of the movie was just ripped out. I miss the classic street racing focus.
Yeah I completely agree fast four was the last one that was watchable for me because it still contained a lot of car content even if it was absurd and unexplainable I still got to look at cool cars and that was one of the big draws for me to fast and furious getting to see cool cars and catching them saying stupid shit like the famous double clutch comment but now it’s just how can they be more ridiculous than they were before but it’s too ridiculous for me to even be able to shut my brain off too and I smoke a ton of weed
