Is this FF8? Sure seems like it to me!

Vin Diesel, check. Samuel L. Jackson saying stuff making the movie seem cooler than it ought to be, check. Looney Tunes comparable physics? Check check. Is this movie going to gross $300 million in China or something? It already looks like that sort of low-caliber film.

Is this what action movies with cars have boiled down to? I don't like what I'm seeing, at least NOT in a good film way. It looks good in a 'so bad it's good' way. A dumb white man film through and through. I really hope this doesn't go that well.

What car action movie? Using cars is amateur hour in xXx. You need to ski in the jungle and ride a motorbike-jetski.

This movie also made it a point to follow F&F's example of having a very diverse cast of actors (especially with Vin Diesel being someone whose acting job was affected by his ethnicity).

If you're being sarcastic then: ... You're f*kcin' spot on!!!

Look, the Fast series isn't all bad. There's a certain flare and finesse that's necessary to get one willing and happy to suspend their disbelief... A certain, expertise and quality, that the Fast series got right.

This nonsense however, is Charlie's Angels bad... While ripping off the stars own leading franchise. I don't know if Vin thinks we're idiots...

I'd much rather watch Cruises' Jack Reacher and Mission Impossible duplicates... Than this BS!

LOL and when the guy does that wacky ass hand slap in the trailer, I lost it. So corny and dumb. This looks so trash.
