F9 = Bad


This one is wayyyyyyyy too far fetched for me. They should've stopped at the last one. Let's get real for a second. It went from cool cars and racing where I love them to civilians going on secret government missions and now all of the sudden everyone is a secret mercenary. BAD MOVIE!!!

The movie is terrible. I'm actually surprised Justin Lin made this. It's not even a fun over the top cornball action cartoon.

It was really terrible. It felt like such a waste of time....at the 1-hour mark, we were like: "ANOTHER full hour of this?? Uh-uh." We left.

Part 7 was at least interesting, because I wanted to see how they handled Brian.
I didn't see the next one. But when part 9 came out....it was SOOOO slim pickins in the theater that we gave it a shot, hoping it would at least be a fun popcorn movie. It was incredibly bad. The people in these movies should be embarrassed.

The dialog is so terrible. It feels like a first draft. It's so lazy. It feels like place holder lines left and right.

Vin is just full grumpy mode. Feels more like Riddick in this.

Even the soundtrack is missing. Where's all the hot exciting latin inspired dance music?

There's no chemistry in any of the group scenes. It's just lifeless. The whole thing feels lifeless.

I hate to say it, but the movie is missing Paul Walker. Without having Rock and Statham around to distract you, it's palpable.

Justin Lin made Star Trek Beyond and that was so bad it killed the reboot franchise.

I didn't think it was awful but I just couldn't get into like the previous movies

Car chases are boring. Directors put them in movies to add excitement, but there's hardly ever any drama or any stakes. How a whole franchise based on car chases was such a megahit, I don't know. They did do it better than anyone else, and had some good heist elements and band of fugitives mojo to it.

But I did like the one where they jumped the car between buildings. You don't see that every week.
