I didn’t even bother watching the last one. Don’t think I’ve ever even met someone who’s seen it either… But hey, apparently it made enough to warrant another movie, so what the fuck do I know?
Are they up to fast and the furious 12 yet?
Close. The latest one is Fast X, which is actually the 11th movie.
I’ve seen the first three or so when they first came out. I don’t really hate the series as such, but loathe the wider cultural impact that it had. For example, it ruined racing video games for quite a while. Everything suddenly needed to have modded rice rockets with underbody lights, driven by annoying dickheads with boring, cliche back stories. It effectively ruined the Need for Speed series.
You didn't watch Revolutions?
It's better than 2 and 3. But as a movie on its own, it was just okay.
I loved the fourth one. It's the fitting sequel to the original one. Totally tongue in cheek send up of the franchise
That was my understanding of it when it first came out. Which is something I’m wholly not interested in as a concept. It’d just retroactively ruin the series for me.
