No O'ffense intended, but I saw most of the first movie and haven't made an effort to watch a minute of the other 20 or so F&F movies (estimated).
One was MORE than enough.
YMMV

The link is good regardless.

Interesting, I imagine this is similar to a normal executive summary or analysis done at most film studios these days.

I have watched to or three I don't remember. I see them just like the Sharknado or Giant snake movies, I watch em just to see how bad they are and how many ways they can defy the laws of physics and logic.

Cool, glad you are a good sport about the ribbing.
And yes, the info in the article is interesting to a certain point.

Last one I saw was 5 and didn't see 4. Wish I could have the time spent back from 5 seriously. I don't even remember a gt3rs so maybe I was wrong, maybe it was 4 that killed for me. Whichever it was had a tank, a shelby that seemed to have wings and the ability to change direction in the air and a chain? Whatever, I felt insulted.
These shows are perfect for 14yolds.
I won't even rent these they're so retarded.

Using the word 'retarded' as a pejorative makes you seem 14.

The movie theater I go to over in Boise,ID has a VIP area for the big kids. Nice recliners, clean, nobody under 21, before the movie they get your order for adult beverages, and they have a menu....and its still comes out cheaper than my small town theater. All, first run movies. And no its not a naughty theater.The wife and I do date weekends once a month or so to escape the kids, and that's our new thing. Tired of the disco scene. My point is everything is better with rum. After the cab ride back to the hotel I can't remember if I felt insulted or dumb or simple..It's all about where you see a movie, not what its about HAHA.-WW

Add me to the only saw FF1 club. Too over the top, I like my car chases more like Robin.

Interesting bit of statistics.

Wow, 5, 6 and 7 seem to have high praise from both critics and audience on Rotten tomatos.

And #7 is the 6th highest grossing film ever? Wow!

Strangely, the movies got better as they went along. Much like Corvettes, Heavy Metal, or Guinness Stout.

I guess F & F is Vin Diesel's day job. Does he do anything else? No. It pays the bills. Two more F & F's already signed for. What will they do next? Go into space?
