SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

How infuriating this bonal thriller after the 5th part is almost no races of cool cars all the bonal even fix I do not want would be a stone beka can another movie about cars do

Every time I watch one of these films I say to myself "Well...it can't be any more ludicrous than the last one!"Every time, I am proved wrong.Whatever the Fast and Furious was back in the beginning, it is not that anymore. The simplicity of street racing was lost to someone's bright idea to "spy up" the series into a poor man's version of James Bond. The action is beyond ridiculous at this point, paying almost no attention to real world physics and reveling in that fact. I actually laughed out loud at one scene, involving the notion that a man alone on an frozen lake can be protected from an explosive fireball by simply parking cars all around him.But the real tragedy of what the Fast and Furious franchise has become is not its ridiculous, could-never-happen stunts. Nor is it the fact that it has mutated from a simple racing drama to a nonsensical spy thriller.No. The real tragedy is that everyone plays it so straight-faced and serious.When you have such craziness on screen, and all the characters are being deadly serious about it all, the disconnect is palpable. At this point, the franchise should be focusing much more on the comedy aspect. Everything that it throws up on the screen is so laughable, yet everyone on screen is so po-faced and earnest. It just doesn't work.In this episode, I watched with my usual sense of disbelief and the conviction that I was wasting two hours of my time. The movie hurtled along, with the characters reprising their usual roles. All very serious and trying (unsuccessfully) to convince the viewer that there was any real jeopardy or danger. I resigned myself to being disappointed again.Then up pops Jason Statham's character. Lively, and clearly understanding how ridiculous the movie he was in was going to be. Now, I'll be the first to admit that he isn't the world's greatest actor, but he has charm and wit in spades. The moment he appeared, all the others, with perhaps the exception of Dwayne Johnson, looked like the shallow, going-through-the-motions-for-a-regular-paycheck actors that they were.The scene where Statham fights his way through a plane of bad guys with one hand, whilst holding a baby in a cot in the other, all the while uttering one-liners that would make any 80's action hero nod approvingly, was the ONLY highlight of the film. It worked only because it was clear Statham was not taking it all too seriously and was having fun on set.Yes, fun. You remember fun don't you, Vin Diesel? How about you, Ludacris Bridges? What about you, Tyrese... Oh yeah... we need to talk about Tyrese.Remember the Star Wars prequels, people? Remember how annoying and insulting Jar Jar Binks was? How pointless his character was? Well, that is Tyrese Gibson's character. He is Jar Jar Binks. He's not so much the comedy sidekick, as the comedy side kick around. He never has anything to do other than be the butt of everyone else's humour and to constantly remind us, in deed and word, that he is totally stupid and useless.What is worse, he isn't even funny. Just sad. Really, really sad. And in comparison to a genuinely funny character like Statham's, it only amplifies how bad he is. So, then, in a nutshell, F&F8 is just another boring episode in a franchise that lost its way long ago. One can only hope that, with the announced spinoff starring Johnson and Statham (who do work well together on screen), those two actors will be spared the further embarrassment of being fixtures in this series. A series that takes itself far too seriously and has little to offer except more of the boring and ridiculous sameness that you saw in the last episode, or the one before that.SUMMARY: First in the series that made me burst out laughing at the stupidness of it all. Takes itself far too seriously, with insulting characters and over-the-top action even a five year old would have difficulty swallowing. Not recommended.

Is it worth it? Let me work it I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup If you got a big, let me search ya And find out how hard I gotta work ya Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tupWhen Vin Diesel put the top down flipped it and reversed it at the beginning, then beating a guy in a race while on fire travleling backwards...I knew I was in for what I expected. This was promptly followed up with Big Dom saying "you need a ten second car"Not bad, Opening scene is one for the books. Other than that so bad it's pretty funny.

Words can not describe just how terrible this movie are. I was a big fan of the franchise, but they should have left it with number 7. This sucks and it is very clear that The only person who still take this franchise seriously, is Vin Diesel. Vin, you've made some done good movies, but now it's time to stop this madness.
