A ninth installment of a movie featuring cars and non-actor diesel.
Only men with small penises will like this kind of drivel. It's their way to feel man again, to feel macho or something, because they like movies with fast cars. Insecure people.
Why else would anyone want to see (yet another) movie with diesel (who has 1 less facial expression than Stallone does) and some silly cars.
This movie is what's wrong with hollywood. Endless regurgitating of STUPID movies to squeeze the last dollar out of the public.
When was the last time a REALLY good movie came out? Something as good as say Alien, or the Shawshank Redemption, or One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest? DECADES ago. It's all garbage.
I landed up watching these films in reverse order accidentally and I have to say - having had the same views as yourself (particularly the peni / cars thing) - that I had it all wrong.
Yeah, they're stupid but in a lot of ways these are now the true successor to the Moore / Brosnan Bond films. A lot of fun / humour / family / barbeques / beer / half naked beauties. What more could you want in a (very specifically) popcorn flick?
I LOVE the Moore / Brosnan Bond films (unlike those fake new ones with daniel "no Bond" craig). But in Bond it's cars AND planes AND jetskis AND submarines AND space shuttles AND skydiving AND skiing etc. etc. In those stupid 'fast' and 'furious' (words to draw in the insecure ones because who would not want to be 'fast' and 'furious') it's ONLY cars. Which makes those movies boring as fuck and nearly identical.
And then vin diesel. As said, one less facial expression than Stallone has, and Stallone has 2, that leaves diesel with 1 facial expression. The guy isn't even worthy to play in a school play, that's how bad he is. No charisma. No charm. No good looks. Just the image of grumpy tough dude. Which appeals again to the insecure small-dicked men because who wouldn't want to be regarded as tough.
It's all about feeling macho by association. I hate that.

Ha ha - the funny thing is a lot of that features in the F&F films as well! And apparently space to come in the next installment...
I felt exactly the same about Vin Diesel as well, never watched any of his films previously (and actually still haven't outside of F&F). But he's pretty good in these and actually surprisingly muted.
Do you know that they've pretty much reached the point of having an M like character who sends them off on their missions?
Honestly a lot of what Daniel Craig's "Bond" has stolen from Bond films are present in this series. Primarily the set piece stunts - I've actually laughed out loud watching and enjoying some of them. Kind of the best since Moore era Bond skiing off a precipice...
I'd recommend giving F&F 5 a go and working forward from there.

When you creeps stop buying tickets to this crap, maybe then they'll stop.
Seriously, the first film was decent, while the 7 sequels were utter crap. Yet.... the box office is still good, so tons of morons are obviously buying tickets. I call it the transformers disorder.
As for F9 - I imagine they'll release it on netflix, so they'll make money in an instant (netflix pays the cost of production + 30% on top). With that deal, they can release another 20 FF films - unless netflix wakes up and stops sponsoring crap. Having seen lots of netflix exclusives.... I'm thinking they'll sponsor another 10 FF films until the quality gets below the netflix's green line.
Why does it need to stop just because you don't like it? the films actually are going to end with a 2 movie finale, but even if it wasn't you could easily just not watch it and leave the films to the people who do like them instead of insulting people who have a different opinion than you.
