I've got the first 2 down so far.

1 was good, I was decently entertained the whole time. I wasn't amazed by any means but it was fun.

2 honestly was boring me. And why was the MC so determined to recruit this old friend? He fucked up so much.

Gonna start 3 now and see how it goes.

"forcing you"

i.e.

asked you to and you oblige because you A) are a good friend or (more likely) B) wanna get those panties off.

The first 3 or so are nothing like the later sequels. Around movie 4, it totally changes. They might as well be a totally different series

I still need to watch that spin off with The Rock, and the latest main series one. 9 I think

But I have seen everything else

#7 is quite good and the ending is pretty damn emotional.

That's what I hear. My friend says they are more fun if you view them like an anime

1 is a legit great film. 2-3 are cringe as hell, but still fun and easy to watch while still being pretty good. After that, it is just out there. If modern generic action films are your thing then you could probably still enjoy them.

It's already been said.

1-3 is where they still mostly stick with the roots and is fine.
4-5 is a bit different, but still mostly tangible.
6+ is where it just goes off the 'how goofy can we make this'

You can also clearly tell they messed up in 3, because 4-6 are supposed to take place between 2 and 3, then you've got 8 and 9 making the timeline worse.

I think he is in an international school for foreigners but I don't know for sure. Does he live on base? I can't remember if his dad is military or not. I only watched that movie 1 time like 5 years ago

His father is/was, as that's where the car shell is found. There's also 2 others in the school that are "military brats".

I've only ever seen Tokyo Drift. Long ago I wanted to check it out as Keiko Kitagawa, the actress who plays Sailor Mars in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is in it (as I'd recently seen the series). She plays Hans' tech girl Reiko who handles some of his repairs. She's in a few scenes and has like... two lines. Anyway I wound up liking the movie overall, but I've never felt like watching the others. Maybe one day that will change.

I later saw the 2008 film Never Back Down and it seemed to have the exact same story. Just swap out racing for a fight club.

Okay so I'm about to start 6 now.

#4 made me want to scream, some of the decisions characters made just didn't make any sense to me.

#5 The most action packed one so far. The series is definitely starting to get a little crazy. Curious how they're going to explain how Letty is alive.

So far I think 1 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 2

Let's see how crazy 6 gets.

Oh wtf Jason Statham killed Han now? I for sure thought they were gonna retcon his death in that aftercredits scene.

Alright 6 is my favorite so far, might be the weed but that movie was exciting.

Although why did Brian have to go to prison to question Braga? Couldn't the cop(Rock) go in there and beat the information out of him? If he can do it inside a police station I don't see why he can't do it in prison.

I went through a similar situation. My friend wanted to marathon all the Fast and Furious movies.

Honestly, up until Fast Five, every movie is a mixed bag. Tokyo Drift is kinda shitty, the main character is a drawling "my mother's my sister" kind of country boy. Not even the Han character or Sonny Chiba as a yakuza member can redeem that movie, only Vin Diesel redeeming Han as a character of worth and recontextualizing his role in Tokyo Drift saves Han as a character. Then the movies get pretty dogshit from F8. There's a sweet spot between Fast Five and FnF 7 where the movies are really good, but they do rely on the earlier movies and like welding them together as a "family" story to make the franchise good.

So basically, by Fast and Furious 7, you'll be glad you watched the prior six movies. Until then, they're okay action schlock that you should turn your brain off for.

In Fast 9, Han is alive. The crash was all a set up. The trailer spoiled it but it was still a good moment.

I loved the whole idea of doing bigger and crazier stunts as the series went on. But 9 is when it officially jumped the shark for me, taking it a bit too far. Even with a character lampshading something like "don't worry about the physics", it still stuck out like a sore thumb.

Wrong.

5 is the best for me. Not only is it where the story moves in a different direction but the location of Brazil was perfect. Brazil is beautiful but gritty af. I felt like they made Rio a character also.

The movies after 5 have up the ante every time and it's called Fast and Furious for a reason, the action set pieces have to be off the wall insane.

If you can dispense your beliefs in reality and how grounded the first few movies were, you're going to enjoy a fun series that knows exactly what it is.

That is overall what I loved about the movies. People bashed the Transformers movies for being mindless and Michael Bay gets a stick up his ass, saying that people don't just understand it. You say the same thing about F&F, and the director and actors are just like "we know. They are meant to be fun and a good time to watch". It's a joke that everybody is in on, and not a single person tries to pretend any differently.

Wasn't there a line in one of them from either Ludacris or Gibson in one of them to the effect "that's no way that should have worked", breaking the fourth wall about a stunt?

Ngl, that final fight on the runway was epic (even though they would have long run out of runway with how long it took)

On a related note, is there any streaming platform that has all of them? Seems they are spread out among Netflix, HBO, and others..

The first 7 movies range from great to good. Movie 7 was the right place to end things but nope they kept going.

Movie 8 is when the series took a hard nose dive into the fuck this stupid bullshit zone, Hobbs and Shaw is the same as 8 with how stupid it is and how it was so boring, I kept nearly falling asleep.

I never bothered to watch 9 as the last two movies were just so bad.

It jumped the shark with 7. That movie sucked and everything after it sucked even more

In release order isnt Canon order.
Its like 1,2, 4-whatever was last before Han came back, 3 and then Han coming back.
