  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 62

  When the 8th movie in your franchise makes over 500 million dollars globally in one week, does it matter what the critics think?

  The Fate of the Furious reminds me of the WWE. Dom turns heel. Deckard turns face. The Rock does a Rock Bottom. People fight. Cars drive. Characters drive tanks and practice extreme body boarding. One of the baddies looks like a Game of Thrones pirate. Charlize Theron is a Total Diva. Scott Eastwood makes my day. Kurt Russell is the man! Ludicrous is ludicrous. Tyrese's Roman might be the heart of the franchise. I know Ramsey's last name. Hell yes!!

  My favorite character is Jason Statham's Deckard. The fella is CRANKED to the max. His going all…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★ 19

  "The Fate of the Furious" is the worst "Fast and the Furious" movie, betraying everything that fans love about the series.

  The first 10 minutes of “The Fate of the Furious” have everything that you could ever ask for in a “Fast and the Furious” movie, or any other movie for that matter. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) swaggers through the streets of Havana, tasting the local flavor as a bass-heavy Cuban pop song bangs on the soundtrack. The sun is shining, the cars are classics, and the girls are wearing hot pink thongs that make their butts pop off the screen like they’ve been post-converted into 3D. It’s like someone threw a Pitbull video and forgot to invite him.

  Then,…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I understand completely why people don’t love this one- it’s kind of a mess structurally, and even within the soap opera-ness of this series it’s just soooo soapy it feels like too much. But the action is just... fucking great. That's all I really care about with this franchise and they're just absolutely at the top of their game here. The cold open race in Cuba? Everybody driving up to shield Dom from a nuclear submarine explosion? Statham's silly baby parkour with a goofy little baby hand wave? The zombie car scene?? It makes me scream every single time. We voluntarily rewound that scene because a friend missed the set-up and it killed me to think of her not getting…

  Objectively terrible, makes the last two seem tightly constructed and relatively coherent, still mostly a blast. Statham gets an extended HARD BOILED homage.

  Review by Lucy ★★★★ 6

  surprisingly one of my favorites in the franchise, and unsurprisingly it has a lot to do with charlize theron and how much weight she easily brings to her character, instantly solidifying her as the best villain in the series so far. tonally this goes to some dark and overdramatic places but it’s also the funniest with a shakespearean plot that kept me more invested than ever before. also i still love it when the cars go fast. no more big thoughts, only fast

  Review by 🎃🔥Mr. Like🔥🎃 ★★½ 2

  Rotten Tomatoes: 67%
  Metacritic Metascore: 56
  IMDB: 6.7

  55/100

  Release Date: 14 April 2017
  Distributor: Universal Pictures
  Budget: $250M

  Mr. Nobody: "Thanks to your botched Berlin job, you all made Interpol's top 10 most wanted list."

  SYNOPSIS: When a mysterious woman seduces Dominic Toretto into the world of terrorism and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before.

  From a fan perspective, "The Fate of the Furious" pretty much falls in line with the last two movies, a.k.a. it belongs right at home with the superhero spy flick trappings that began in "Fast & Furious 6." For everyone else, the unrealistic but fun chaos and ingenuity this series…

  Review by Matt Singer ★★ 7

  Turns the franchise's greatest strength -- its meticulous, borderline insane obsession with its own continuity -- into its biggest weakness. The stunts and the physics never made sense, but the characters and their relationships always did. Not anymore.

  Out of the first eight films, this is my personal contender for the worst in the franchise. Only the fourth entry, Fast & Furious, is close in this regard, but while that film is mostly just boring and a nonstarter reboot, The Fate of the Furious is the first of the series where it's clear that they're running out of ideas, and the creative spark and joyous chemistry of the series feels weirdly fabricated and desperate. It's still sturdy when the action hits, though. Not a disaster by any stretch, just very unnecessary. You can feel the wheels turning here, with the franchise not really sure what to do and where to go next. Paul Walker's absence will always be felt, but it's especially an issue in this film, which overcompensates with nonsensical plotting and droning seriousness. It feels like a 90s blockbuster, in good and bad ways. You're better off watching any of the other installments, frankly.

  The final chase sequence was an educational experience because I had no idea the Fast and the Furious team singlehandedly caused the ice caps to melt.
