Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 66

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…

"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,…

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 Arielrocks5 ★★★½ 29

I feel like a whore for liking this movie. Like I'm part of the problem when I should be more against the idea of even seeing it on the big screen and supporting more like it, especially after seeing plenty of other films crash and burn royally at the hands of them.

And yet......damn it, I liked it! Something about F Gary Grey's confidence in the various set pieces at play mixed in with the genuine chemistry the cast and characters to just.....how fucking ridiculous this movie ends up getting was enough to say "fuck it! Whatever! Cinema is dead but I'm going to have fun beating it to death!"

But then it has to throw in some genuinely great…
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.
Review by kevinyang ★★★½

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.

Jason Statham was killing guys while holding a baby in a baby carrier, truly the peak of cinema
Review by Thomas ★★★½

Fuck me, I guess I'm becoming a sympathizer with this goddamn Furious-Franchise.
The action-sequences are all pretty good (the fight-sequence in the prison was great IMO) and there was only one of these moments that really gonna make you cringe but thank god that moment was in the beginning and it all became much, much better after that.
And again, like in F&F7, the best scenes were those with The Rock and Statham. These two have a good chemistry.
Review by Arslan Khan ★★★

1) why did I rewatch this
2) THAT BABY WAS SO F**KING CUTE!
3) Still not sure why I rewatched this
Review by Limpfoot ★★

Honestly... only watched this for the Haka
Review by Junel Kean ★★½

In this post-Mad Max: Fury Road era of cinema, it's hard to match anything that could top it in the action genre, and The Fate of the Furious tries to imitate those heights, but eventually runs out of gasoline.

Grade: 5
Review by ygeorgoulis ★

1. The best part about this was the rock coaching his daughters soccer team
2. The second best part was Jason Statham holding a baby in a gun fight
3. This is horrible for society and probably running thousands of people’s reality of the real world. Vin diesel would have died so many times. He needs to fight thanos and save the world.
4. This is a huge pile of dog shit
5. I can NOT believe this started from fuckkng street racing. 2 characters are now randomly amazing hackers and everybody is now a god damn John wick??
6. This list can be really long but I’m gonna stop

Give tyrese his own movie!
Review by Legend0614 ★

It’s was so wired. When I pressed play in my home theater, there was this God awful smell permeating the room. It took about 2 hours but I figured out it was this movie. I loved Furious 7 (4.5 Stars) so it’s not like I’m a hater. It is hard to end a cash cow and it won’t stop as 8 passed the Billion dollar box office. The stupidest thing about this terrible movie was they went superhero in the real world. Rock was a Wolverine wannabe. Bad guys went to GI Joe school of shooting. Cars maxed out seem to always have another gear to shift into and are 100% indestructible. When in trouble, just jump out of the 200+ mph car and brush off the pain. The submarine ending was so completely over the top stupid that actual cringing took place. There are so many great movies getting released you can go ahead and skip this one.
Review by jecamp86 ★★

The villain is about the only cool thing with this movie. I'm over this franchise but they keep trucking them out
