FATE OF THE FURIOUS


Fate of the Furious set box office records when it showed up in theaters a month ago. With a cast of Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Ludacris, and Michelle Rodriguez as well as dozens of vehicles that explode, this movie has more action than dialogue. Yes, it’s all silly fun. But the hyper-kinetic production values are on the screen. Great popcorn movie! GRADE: A-

    Hate Michelle Rodriquez, terrible actress. Only has 2 facial expressions-a sneer and a scowl. Won’t watch her in anything.

      Steve, Michelle Rodriquez plays a surprisingly small role in FATE OF THE FURIOUS. Charlize Theron, the Super Villain, has the most on-screen time.

    I’ve disliked Michelle Rodriguez since she f#cked up LOST. But that isn’t why I don’t watch these movies.

      Jeff, I’ve seen a few of the FAST & FURIOUS movies. High-Adrenalin action. The “plots” are paper-thin. The “acting” is shallow. But the car chases and action scenes blow me away!

    I’ve watched most of them, but they’re not even netflix for me, just when they’re on hbo. Agree about Michelle Rodriguez, but she seems made for this series, nothing else

    Complete waste of time, money, and suspension of disbelief Only made to sell tickets, and (aside from present company) reaping it in from the blockheads who have nothing else to do with their time or brains.

      Rick, the Movie Market seems to love the FAST & FURIOUS series. FATE OF THE FURIOUS is closing in on a billion dollars at the Box Office. This kind of movie isn’t my favorite, but I admire the crafting of the chase scenes and the relentless action. The audience cheered at points in this film…not a common occurrence at the Regal Theater.

        Rick, 14 is the perfect age to see THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS! Of course, Diane says I act like a 12-year-old so maybe that’s why I liked the movie so much!
