Is it fair to expect at least mediocre art?

Does Vin Diesel have subtitles yet?

You know Dom's girlfriend is going to throw her out of a plane or something. F&F loves its subtle irony.

As a toy, I'm sure it made total sense.
But 5 and 6 are by far the best of the series
He certainly invented his own dialect for the character.

No. You can only expect fun.
And fun, as we all know, is 100% distinct from art. The presence of any art in the same place as fun means fun is detracted from. Art is a vampire, and it loves to suck fun out of things, and turn them into undying art, like them.
I made a version of it with legos.

You know that a movie can be fun and not necessarily braindead? Right?

I updated the OP with previous RT scores.
People always keep pretending dumb fun actions don't get good reviews when their dumb blockbuster doesn't get good reviews. Not necessarily on gaf just something in i notice in general

F4 had a 28% on rotten tomatoes? Wow haha, and here I thought that was the one that really got them back on track. I really enjoyed that one.
LOL

Good stuff. Thanks man
The twist is that Charlize takes him into the future and he's the new Mad Max.
Yeah, that's probably a big part of what makes it so appealing to audiences. I hope they didn't lose sight of that.
I just want to point out how hilariously dramatic the banner image on Rotten Tomatoes is for this movie.
That's a wrestling banner if I've ever seen one.
Turning his back on family, Bah Gawd!

That aspect of the series was always going to suffer post-7, without Paul Walker.
It would be like trying to make five more seasons of Supernatural without Jenson Ackles.

I've said this in other threads but i'll say it again here. Do NOT let Rotten Tomatoes dictate if a film is "good" or "bad" film. You just can't. For example: Furious 7
233 People decided that %. Two Hundred and thirty three. I'm not saying i agree with that or disagree but i'm not ( and you should not) let 233 people decide if a film is "considered" bad or not.
I'm not saying you can't follow it as a guide but it should never be all end factor of your decision making. Life is better when you make up your own mind.

To each their reach. The Bond film comparisons are a nice guideline. There are people who really, really disliked Spectre, and would say it's as bad/worse than Die Another Day or View to a Kill, even though the larger consensus would probably place it at worst in the middle of the pack.
To a lesser degree, fans did the same to Skyfall (it's a little more pronounced here)
It depends on what you want out of this series. Coherent stuntwork? Physics-defying setpieces? Pro-wrestling style plotlines? All those three at the same time?
If this movie manages to botch any one of these elements (or even all three) then yeah, I can see people putting it down there with 2Fast. Even if it ultimately doesn't "deserve" the comparison, for whatever that's worth.
Seriously though, who honestly thinks this stuff gets posted as an intended replacement for establishing your own opinion via direct experience?
This line make me smile for some reason.
I don't think that's ever applied to a Fast & Furious film.

Cool. I'd never seen any of them, so binge watched the entire series over a week or so last year. It's pretty funny how they changed over time, and how the continuity is sort of messed up (the Tokyo Drift stuff integrates in a super awkward way), but yeah they are dumb fun.
I think I'd like the plots to be simpler, with more of an emphasis on character/dialogue, and I wish the action was a little more coherently shot, but they are enjoyable movies.
I absolutely hated F4. Didn't understand what was happening, didn't care, just waiting for it to end. F5 was fantastic
Yo stop! Lol 🤣

Thanks, professor.
Oh no
What if this is the Mass Effect Andromeda of the F&F series?
Check /tv, I saw some spoiler tags floating around there

That's still the best. F7 was the most emotionally heavy, but that's due to real life. Fast Five is perfect in every way.
Eta- there was just no way the movies were going to be better each and every installment. A "clunker" here and there can be expected.
