I saw it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, it gave me exactly what I want from a Fast & Furious movie, huge set pieces, fun banter, outlandish spectacle and a lot of fun.
The whole Han thing makes the Shaw stuff a little awkward but it did lead to some fun banter between Deckard and Hobbs, and their prison break fight sequence was some entertaining over the top ass whoopery.
At this point Dom is pretty much invincible, and after riffing on Superman in 6 he was in Batman mode in 8, his contingency plans that are set in motion throughout are impossibly slick, but I thought they made the right choice to not even pretend he'd gone rogue and tell the story from both his side and the rest of teams side, his scene with Letty in the alley in New York was particularly good.
Charlize was fantastic as Cypher, her scenes with Dom were great and she was the best Bond villain in years, smokin' hot and ruthlessly cold! I'm glad she escaped, I expect her to return in 9 and maybe even 10.
I love Kurt Russell as Mr. Nobody.
His humour is funny and he plays well off everyone. Scott Eastwood also made a solid addition to things and I think he'll do well.
The big ice chase sequence in Russia (Iceland I think?) did not disapopint, so many crazy moments and stunts, an instant classic for the series!
I also thought the New York sequence was crazy with Dom in Terminator mode and outmanouvering his team.
Just keep 'em coming Vin and co!
8.5/10
If they do that, they might as well bring back Gisele too. [/BLACKOUT]
