The more i watch the previous one (fast 5 and 6), the more i realize that this one feels different, like a whole new movie. It's not a bad thing at all, it just felt like the transition from the fast 1,2 and 4 to 5 and so on. It is the best one in the series. Can't top that mountain rescue sequence, that one was pure badass.
 
IGN ranked each movie.

7. 2 Fast 2 Furious
6. Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift
5. Fast & Furious
4. The Fast & The Furious
3. Fast & Furious 6
2. Furious 7
1. Fast Five
 
I would rate them as follows:

1. The Fast and The Furious
2. Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
3. Fast and Furious 7
4. Fast 5
5. 2 Fast 2 Furious
6. Fast 6
7. Fast 4
 
I kinda like 4, the race scene was great.

I heard rumors about how James Wan wanted to connect Death Sentence to Furious 7 the same was as Justin Lin connected Better Luck Tomorrow. Want to see that so much, shame it didn't happen.

4 is by far the worst, I hated it, Tokyo Drift is the 3rd best for me.

I could not stand Tokyo Drift at all. I didn't even watch it in the theater. Waited until it came out to rent. Still BARELY made it through the entire movie as a rental. :ouch: Does it grow on you if you watch it a 2nd time? Not sure if I want to put myself through TD again. Doesn't help that I don't care for Lucas Black at all.

I think it's the worst AND I had to watch it 3 times in a week in secondary school in the final week 4 years ago.
 
I like 5 the best, but that is the last one I have seen. I have yet to see 6 and 7 though. Tokyo drift was the worst by far.

I never saw any of them in theaters. I remember going to see another movie at the theater when the first one came out. Lots of accidents in the parking lot that night as all the teenagers thought they could pull off the same maneuvers with their dad's Camry. :lol:
 
They are obviously going to make a sequel, and will probably make more than one. They made too much money this past weekend to not keep doing it. How will they handle the absence of Walker in future installments?

The story that Brian is going to quit joining the crew to spend all of his time with his wife and children just doesn't work. This movie (and others) made it very clear that Dom is also very much a part of Brian's family. Brian would never let Dom go it alone, nor would Mia. Brian would be willing to leave his wife and children behind while he is out fighting, and it usually happened at his wife's insistence.

The way I think they could spin this in the beginning of F&F 8 is to go back to the parking deck collapse scene. Show Dom waking up again in Letty's arms, and have him realize that the entire last few scenes of Furious 7 were just a dream. Brian really died somewhere in the streets during the helicopter/drone chase sequences, but Dom wasn't awake yet to know it.

When Dom actually wakes up, he finds out that Brian is gone, and that the beach scene was just a hazy dream. The symbolism of the highway race would imply that both of them were dead, driving off into the afterlife together. But, where Brian went one way (death/afterlife), Dom went the other way (back to living).

The way they ended Fast 7 with Paul was PERFECT. And yes there will be more Fast and Furious movies for sure.

Let Paul and the Brian character RIP.

Its poor taste when movies change the ending "because of a dream". The way they ended him as a family man that is moving on, is THE best ending they could have provided. Killing him off would be terrible. And yes there is obviously going to be a sequel and possibly up to 10 total.

This. They couldn't have done it any better. If they did attempt to do it the way @MustangRyan said, then there goes the whole tribute thing! It's a though situation though, we have to agree on that.
 
How can TD be worse than 2 Fast 2 Furious. Alone the title :lol: 2 cheesy

my listing:
1. The Fast and The Furious
2. Fast and Furious 7
3. Fast 5 / Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
4. Fast 6
5. Fast 4
6. 2 Fast 2 Furious

I think the tribute was very well handed. Feared they kill the caracter off, which would have been a bit morbide

I think the next 3 films are pretty much already confirmed.

This is awesome

 
Fast and Furious Upped to eleven. Kinda enjoyed it, far more than Transformers lol.

Just watched today because hell, the tickets gone sold out rapidly at premiere. At the end, people werent as sad as some claimed but the sniff sad heard across.

Anyone know what car Tej drive on the final scene? Isnt it a Grand National?

Sadly, I just hope that...
.....The Lykkan drop scene never existed. Holy hell its faked as hell, more cringe than #fakebaby on American Sniper

List of cars appeared on F7 you can drive on GT6:

- Plymouth AAR Cuda
- Toyota Supra RZ
- Dodge 440 Charger '70
- Audi R8 V10
- Subaru Impreza Type C '09
- SRT Challenger SRT8
- Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 '69
- Aston Martin DB9
- SLS AMG
- Buick GNX?
- Excluding the cameo cars. Notable I saw the BMW M4 Safety Car.
 
At this point, I don't even bother getting annoyed by the daft stunts. It's pretty much a staple of the series.
 
I don't think there's any need to justify the absence of Brian in the future films. There's plenty of storylines they could do revolving around the rest of the crew.

Personally a proper street racing prequel would be my number one choice.

What I liked about it was they showed more car culture and the drift stunts were awesome(as was the music), sure the whole Yakuza stuff and the plot in general is cringe worthy but so is every FNF movie to be honest.

Fast four had the race and that's it, everything else wasn't interesting at all and they topped it off with a crap CGI chase in the tunnels.

I don't mind 6 at all until the million mile run way sequence, 2 fast 2 furious is a movie we better not talk about ever again :lol: so yeah in the franchise TD is top 3 for me.

that was good ! but the tribute would be pointless.
 
Retelling the story in a different way 18 months from now won't detract from the heartfelt tribute at the end of the seventh movie.
 
Saw it, thought it was pretty much what I've come to expect from the series. Enjoyed the ride nonetheless.

I did not cry at the end, but I was VERY close. Kinda leaves me to wonder what could have been if Roger Rodas didn't wreck that red Carrera GT.
 
I watched Fast and Furious 7 and I didn't like it.

The Plot was uninspiring and I had no connection to the story what so ever, I didn't like the fact that The movie was based around Vin diesel who is dull as dishwater in this series and Paul was a complete background extra for most of it.

The end didn't do it for me either it felt like they put it there to milk the audience as it really had nothing to do with the story.

I watched this wanting it to be good but I would rate this the equal worst tbh.

The best and only fast and furious titles I have truely liked where the first 3, after that it was all about being some kind of heist crew poor mans James Bond action movie that fails to produce an intresting storyline.


For the sake of Dignity this series needs to end, but they wont because it literally s*its money.

Doesn't matter how long it's been after the accident, killing him off in the movie (even if you don't see it) would be in really poor taste. It cannot happen.

Saw the movie tonight. Had the typical :rolleyes: moment more than a few times with some of the stunts, but overall I wouldn't rate it as the worst one. (Tokyo Drift does that for me, hate the main character) No crying for me at the end, but I could see it being tear inducing. Good sendoff for Paul, if they move forward with more movies after this I think they should just leave him out of it.
 
I find it funny how Every American seems to hate Tokyo Drift and every non American seems to like it.

Do southern accents make people unberable?

You leave out the biggest plothole.

Mia revealed to Dom that Brian missed the bullets, & didn't want to disappoint Brian with domestic life. That's when Dom said to give it time, he'll come around. Mia revealing she was pregnant again & afraid to tell Brian, Dominic told her she has to tell him. Dom was completely fine with Brian leaving the heist world behind. Fast forward to Mia telling Brian to promise her this would be the last job. Mia only agreed to letting Brian go because everyone was at risk of being killed by Shaw in revenge.

At the very end, everyone including Dom agrees Brian belongs as a family man. And when Brian chased Dom at the end, he told him he couldn't leave without saying goodbye. Cue Vin Diesel, not Dominic Toretto remarking it's not goodbye.

What they did was perfect because it could represent two things: the obvious being Brian O'Conner's path in life splitting from Dom that results in him becoming a family man to Mia & his children, and ultimately retires his role from any more heists.

It also could represent the real life bond between Vin & Paul where as Vin is driving alongside Paul's spirit & reminiscing the previous films before Paul eventually drives "off into the sunset". It works out somewhat well considering it was Paul's real Supra, & a lot of people claim to see an aurora around Paul in those final moments as a result of the CGI done to to integrate his face.

You claim it doesn't work, yet introduce a plot that would piss everybody off to sit through the entire movie & would reflect poorly on the crew for being unable to come up with an actual ending to Paul's death. Their decision allows Paul's character to continue living in the F&F world despite Paul no longer being able to fulfill the role. There is nothing that could stop Dom from mentioning Brian in passing in future films without anyone questioning how b/c Brian isn't dead. It quite literally lets Paul's legacy in the franchise live on.


Any way, I saw it again this weekend & it was still as great and touching as last week. I was surprised our theater this weekend had even more of a reaction than opening weekend.

FF1 was an interesting remake of Point Break, but at no point in Point Break did anyone complain that there weren't any (unreliable, transmission-destroying, NISSAN) SR20s (not even SR20DETs, brah?) in their (HONDA) Integras (which came with the relatively reliable, non-transmission destroying, entirely boostable B18s...).

Of course, it was fun... and funny. But that's the extent of it. FF2 was incredibly, horrendously bad. Like a bad episode of Miami Vice bad. And Eva Mendez is near the top of my list of "worst actresses who look smoking hot." It just didn't work for me. Only the banter between Brian and Roman kept this one alive. That was, admittedly, funny.

FF3... I actually thought it was okay. So the main character was as interesting as a cardboard cutout, and all the heroes were, interestingly enough, non-Japanese (Han is Korean. Hell, even DK is half-Korean... but I digress). But it was the only FF that was actually about... you know... racing. Everything was a side plot to further the racing, and the plot is tied up neatly into racing.

But the main character still wasn't interesting or well-rounded, and the low-key drama wasn't all that gripping. Also, there's the lack of a cohesive "crew" in the movie. It's just a bromance between Sean and Han, all movie long. And not even a convincing bromance, as you get between Brian and Roman in FF2.

I actually liked the movie and the driving scenes... probably the most realistic of any FF (except
for where DK's car takes so long to fall down a cliff, Sean beats him to the bottom...
), and the music and action cinematography was nice. But it definitely wasn't the strongest in the franchise.

-

Uh... FF7, belongs at least mid-pack. Aside from the obvious missing lines and zingers from Paul's character, where he'd play off of Tyrese's lines in the group scenes, it held together pretty well.
 
when Brian and Mia were having the conversation on the phone, was that really CGI Paul ? lots of people are saying that but it looks like the real Paul to me. Though it looks like they redid Mia's part after Paul's death to show more emotions out of her.

i like how Han in Better Luck Tomorrow is the same Han in this franchise. Death Sentence was supposed to be connected to this franchise as well since James Wan made this one but for some reason it didn't happen.
