Saw it over the weekend and it was awesome. Loved ever minute of it.
I liked it, but Dom renaming the baby was kind of a dick move. Honor the mother by keeping the name she picked.
She literally told him to name the kid. She picked his second name, and asked Dom to pick his first name after he freed him.I liked it, but Dom renaming the baby was kind of a dick move. Honor the mother by keeping the name she picked.
He didn't rename it. She said she picked the middle name and that the father should pick his first name

There is like a whole scene dedicated to this where she explains that.
She explicitly said that the name she gave him was his middle name and that she wanted his dad to give him a first name.I liked it, but Dom renaming the baby was kind of a dick move. Honor the mother by keeping the name she picked.
Letty said that they all agreed to leave Bryan and Mia out of it when someone suggested that Bryan would know what to do about Dom.is there any mention of bryan on this movie? like he's doing fine or something like that? or bryan and mia characters are just flat out ignored?
Also, Fast Five still has the best fight choreography in the series. The films since have relied way too much on shaky cam.
That was probably the guy from The RaidNah, man. Fast 6 had some great fights, especially Roman/Han vs Shaw's goons in the subway. One of the bad guys performs this awesome horizontal takedown that I always marvel at.
He was pretty much a superhero in this movie.I love me some Hobbs, but with way subsequent film he becomes more Dwayne Johnson than the actual character. Fast Five he actually seemed like a badass cop

Letty was presumed dead following 4 to 5 and then 6 was her return. Between the end of 5 and beginning of 6 he is with Elena.So wait a minute, I just got done watching it. Have only watched the first 3 or so, so I'm out of the loop but how come Dom fucked this blonde chick?
I mean wasn't he and Michelle Rodriguez a thing since the first one? How come 7 movies later they are still together even though Dom fucked this other chick and she knows he fucked her since he introduces his child to the family and she's all cool with that? what?
Otherwise entertaining movie, have to watch the other ones as well now.
She's from Fast Five. You're missing a bunch of stuff from 4 through 7.So wait a minute, I just got done watching it. Have only watched the first 3 or so, so I'm out of the loop but how come Dom fucked this blonde chick?

Watch 4,5,6, and 7

Dom and Elena connect in Fast Five over both their SO's being dead. By the end of the film they hook up over it but it's made clear Elena loves her late husband and Dom loves Letty. When Furious 6 happens, he finds out Letty survived and Elena lets go of the relationship basically saying she would leave if it were her husband found alive.So wait a minute, I just got done watching it.

And 3
I really wish they made Hobbs acknowledge Elena. Her last scene in the previous films was her assisting Hobbs and they've been partners for quite awhile plus it almost seemed like they were going to setup a relationship between the two. They should really address his reaction in Fast 9.
Interesting thoughts, but your hopping between actor names and character names made it really hard to follow at timesShe is someone for Luda and Tyrese to play off of, but outside of that, she doesn't have a point on the team since Tej does everything she does. I think she has good chemistry with the team, but she doesn't have a point. So it's a wash.
Fast 5 cemented the team and their roles. Losing Paul, Sung, and Gal hurt and they haven't been able to replace them.
Paul was always the emotional anchor and what kept Vin and the group together. Basically family. I didn't give a shit about Letty and Vin, but Paul and Mia. It worked in 1,4,5, and 7. Having him always as Vin's rival/equal added a lot too. Now, they don't even have that since you know Vin isn't going to play equals with The Rock. Notice how the Rock jobbed to Statham in the beginning of 7? Vin ain't ever going to let that happen to him. The closest was always Brian in racing. He grounded Dom.
Sung's and Gal worked extremely well in the group. He was the laid back member with a quick witt. As they said, someone who knew how to maneuver. It helped a lot the cool and smooth member of the group was Asian, since it's such a drastic departure from basically every other series where they are either Kung fu experts or the basically in Luda's role where they are the hacker.
Gal was the female muscle for the group. Could work the scenes boys can't with her sex appeal and also beat the majority of the guys asses too.
The newest members, don't quite have it. Ramsey, just fits in the same spot as Tej. I feel like they should have made her more of a Q or something for the group. Not just another hacker.
Eastwood, I didn't mind. He's the new group busta. And guess, supposed to be the newbie. It works a bit, but he'll need to add something to the group next time.
I like Statham and Russell, I feel like they fit in fine. With Russell solely being there as the G man, but I do think Statham shouldn't be a direct member, but more like the ace they call in at times.
I'm actually expecting this plot line now though I still really want Gisele back too. They could always end the revenge plot with her actually being alive thus reuniting the fam. but with Gal being occupied with WW it does seem unlikely she'll be coming back.So Wazz, I have been thinking about potential future storyline possibilities. I think they should weave the wonky writing in 8 into 9 and beyond. What if Cypher located a burned and bruised Han, recovering in a Japanese hospital somewhere in Tokyo. In a flashback, Han was able to escape the burning car before it exploded but is scarred severely. Gisele, tragically, is still dead.
It is here that Han is told by Cypher, not just with words but video about the flimsy nature of Dom's sense of "family". "They left you to die in Tokyo. They didn't memorialize Gisele, the love of your life and top things off, Dom put avenge your death behind his own selfish needs and enlisted the guy that tried to kill you to save his son. He could have chosen anyone but he chose him--Deckard Shaw." All of this rings true as Cypher has curated videos that prove all of this to Han. He is having noticeable trouble absorbing all of this but his anger and hurt are driving his rage.
"Dom never truly saw you or Gisele as family...I mean, look at his actions." Now, with Cypher's funding and re-enlisting his underground Yakuza connections (including old DK), Han adds Sean and Bow Wow and explains his mission of vengeance to them. They join him on this new quest to bring the family to their knees. Essentially, turn Han into the Winter Soldier with his own crew (along with Cypher) taking on Dom's. We get our own FF Civil War, and Han gets to return as a bad ass.
Thoughts?

But yeah the lack of acknowledgements must be to setup future stories. It would really help the writing in 8 where it felt a little weak.

I knew it. Statham's laugh in that scene was so genuine, it had to be unscripted
What I didn't like was the handling of Deckard Shaw. Sure, the guy is badass and actually quite lovable as he showed in this movie. But this dude still killed Han. How am I supposed to accept that Dom suddenly forgives Deckard after he murdered one of his family and his brother indirectly causing the death of Gisele too. I would have accepted a mutual respect separation after Deckard saved the life of Dom's baby, but not a complete forgiveness, "hey you have a seat at the family table now", ending. That's crazy.
He killed HAN!
So for part 9, you guys think they are going to China as the next geographic location?
You know, I wish they had simply broken the fourth wall and had Dom name his son Paul.
Brian is alive and well in the movie lore, so it makes less sense to name him Brian.
Even though it makes no sense to name him Paul as far as the movies story is concerned, I would have loved it. In the same way that doms goodbye to brian at the end of F7 was really a goodbye for Paul.
So Brian is out of the life because hes a dad.....so lets make Dom a dad too so he can stay in the life? So now they are making it look like Brian is....my family is more important then you guys, but Dom will be fighting aliens in space with a baby seat in his car talking about how everyone is his family.
Just weak all around. The cast is bloated as hell, time to cut some of these people out. The 2 brothers that show up every movie for 4 seconds trying to get fanfair, drop them completely, Ramsey as much as shes cute and smart, shes useless to the core group when you have luda running around being the tech guy, don't need two. Now with Shaw joining the family, because why not....time to cut out some of the cast permanently.

I think I just don't really like F. Gary Gray as a director. Aside from SOC he hasn't don't anything I've enjoyed since 1995...
Next movie is definitely going to have Dom's baby driving a car.
