2 Fast, 2 Furious and Fast & Furious 6 are the weakest, in my humble opinion, but still fun when viewed as part of a larger picture.įurious 7 is an interesting entry, as it mixes together nostalgia for earlier chapters, some nice-albeit-melodramatic character arcs, the real-world death of one of its stars, and insane action - all good things - with unnecessary convolution that crept up in FF6. I would probably lump Furious 7 together with Fast & Furious (#4 released, #3 in story order) and Tokyo Drift (#3 released, #6 in story order) as second-tier entries - Tokyo is, oddly enough, the only one that's singularly about car racing. We hope they will succeed even though we're pretty sure they will anyway.įor me, the fifth and first entries are the strongest, offering clean stories and interesting takes on their respective genres. Given room to breathe, we watch them evolve from archetypes to something a little deeper, kinda like the kids from Harry Potter. Thanks to multiple entries, the characters too have grown. I personally find this lack of cynicism refreshing and endearing. Through this I see how the filmmakers created a genuine epic saga of muscle car mayhem and bro'tacular action.Īnd, while I'll concede the last two entries have been overly convoluted, run long, and feature a little too much cartoon action, this franchise lives and dies on its family-first values. I was able to break down each movie's strengths and weakness, but instead of living and dying on their own, they morphed in chapters of a much larger story. Maybe it's nostalgia - this is the first, long-running franchise I've experienced totally while living in Los Angeles - but engrossing oneself in the Fast universe has been, above all else, a lot of fun. Located about a hundred yards from the now-closed venue where I had seen The Fast and the Furious all those years ago.

I started watching in chronological order on Friday evening, and completed my weekend with Furious 7 on the largest screen in Los Angeles - the newly revamped TCL Chinese IMAX. This furiously fast franchise was made for guys like me, yet I've largely felt disconnected with these movies, catching them in cinemas, but never fully investing.Īfter Paul Walker's tragic death November 2013 and reading about how the filmmakers pushed forward to complete this seventh film in his honor, I decide to revisit them all in one go as opening weekend approached. I grew up watching Knight Rider and Dukes of Hazzard, and then fell in love with classic car movies like Vanishing Point, Bullitand Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. The genre flip and character re-introductions are smart, producing the series' best entry, and now we find ourselves fourteen years into an improbable seven film franchise.

Then pretty much every character who has ever been in the franchise (even the dead one) arrives for Fast Five while the series trades cops-undercover for spies-and-heists. Brian and Dom return for episode four and the results are pretty good. And the third sails for Tokyo without any of the original characters. The first film is a modest Point Break remake with car culture. The Fast and the Furious franchise shouldn't exist. There's some automotive espionage that needs doing! Never mind that Shaw shows up a dozen or so times in the middle of this mission. Nobody will let Toretto use the God's Eye to find Shaw before Shaw finds Toretto.
