I slightly regretted jumping to the defense if this film before having seen it.

Fate of the Furious (Fate... F8... get it?) Is much different in tone than the past movies. The dialogue and actions was much more punchline oriented. I felt like I was watching a WWF Royal Rumble during that prison break scene, though that may have been intentional.

But with a plot like this, there was a great opportunity to underline the film with the values of trust, faith, and loyalty in addition to the core "family" dynamic that exists with every film thus far. Instead, they dedicated dialogue to one liners and predictable comedic timing instead of character development and reinforcement.

Still not a bad movie. Not the best so far either but it certainly belongs with the rest from a quality standard.

If F7 was a 8/10, this is a 7/10

Just saw it. I was entertained. It was better than the 7th one. Love how everything ties in together. Some of y'all just need to stop overanalyzing every little thing and just enjoy the movie

Speak the gospel brotha.
 
I enjoyed it. At this point I want it to get as ridiculous as possible. This series is like The Expendables series to me. I'm going in looking for over the top action, violence, and explosions. If it surrounds a cool story, even better.

I read that the reason this is the only film without post credits scene is because Vin told the studio to cut it.



"TheWrap has run a new item revealing that the original cut of 8 Fast 8 Furious did indeed contain a post-credits scene, in which Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbes and Jason Statham’s Shaw trade banter — possibly with the intention of opening the gate to a spinoff. Diesel did not take too kindly to learning that his Dom Toretto would not be featured in the scene, implicitly ceding fan-favorite status to Johnson and Statham’s enemies-turned-buddies. He furiously (and fastly) contacted NBC Universal to demand that they remove the scene, and the studio then obliged."
