This entry absolutely suffers from the absence of Brian and Mia O’Connor, but the issues go far beyond that.

Like most of its predecessors “The Fate of the Furious” is true to its ambitions. Fans of the series are sure to be pleased; detractors will be able to use their same arguments.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

A bloated mess of a blockbuster.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 4, 2022

The Fate of the Furious hits all the notes a fan would want but it lacks that ability to branch out like Fast Five did.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2021

The Fate of the Furious wallows in inanities with about the same frequency as it delivers excitement, and, like the other two films that followed the series-best Fast Five, it largely succeeds as a breezy and engaging lark.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 17, 2021

It's dumb - but a lot of fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 22, 2021

There is nothing in this film that is not perfectly calibrated for an audience that has been primed for high drama over the course of two full decades.

| Mar 19, 2021

There's no setup, no details, and no plan - just the getaway, where things explode and collide with one another like objects in a cartoon.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Who would have thought that a street racing movie from 2001 starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker would still be going strong...

Fast 8 does what you expect it to do. It's clever on the humour and the action whilst keeping within the film's emotional core. At the end of the day, it's about family.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 26, 2020

The film doesn't disappoint in its over-dramatized races, unimaginable stunts and adrenaline filled scenes. But as the stunts get bigger the plot gets smaller.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 7, 2020

Vapid fun, which is fine, but something of a disappointment now that we've seen how much more these movies can be.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 1, 2020

So for all its talk of family and redemption, there's surprising little emotional weight to this chapter.

| May 5, 2020

The quality of these films has enhanced over the years; you know what you're in for when you buy a ticket, which is typically an enjoyable ride.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 24, 2020

This new joint is dark, no-nonsense and butt-kicking - thanks mainly to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Vin Diesel and Jason Statham.

| Jan 7, 2020

There are raining cars, high-speed chases and spectacular stunts throughout, which both border on the ridiculously crazy to the incredibly entertaining, delivering the stuff the fans want and enjoy immensely.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2019

F8 benefits from the considerable muscle of the top actors in the action field.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 18, 2019

Despite how over-the-top all the action scenes are, Roman earned nothing but eye-rolls from me, and while we can argue that each character deserves their moment to shine, I am of a mind that these characters are expendable.

| Oct 10, 2019

Somebody is going to have to write something better for these folks who go driving in their fast cars and obsess about the priceless nature of family.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2019

This film has enough action shot hand held to keep you ducking in your seat, and enough cars being destroyed and fire to keep the sizzle going.
