Fast & Furious (2009): This is such a weird franchise to chart the development of. This, the fourth film (which has basically the same title as the first film), is more or less the beginning of the modern iteration of the film series, trying to bring together various elements from the first three disparate films (mainly the first) to form a team that would stick together henceforth. Lin and Morgan also briefly bring back Han from the third film, with his appearance ending with the implication that he's off to die in said third film, before they go back and decide to prolong his life for two films more. And they kill Letty in a pretty dumb, anticlimactic way, something they'd have to reset over the next two films (though ironically, that she dies offscreen here makes that a bit easier than it would otherwise have been). Anyway, the core of this movie, Brian and Dom reconnecting, is nicely done. The plot is otherwise pretty average, and the racing scenes are too dependent on subpar CGI.
