I saw this on Friday night and there were about 20 people in the cinema. To be honest it was absolute bliss as we had the entire row to ourselves and I did not hear one person talking the whole film. Either everybody knows this film is rubbish or people are not going back to the cinema.

Either way I totally agree with all the comments so far, it has become a parody of itself. I was left wondering how we went from the Point Break with cars story of the first film to this.

Four out of ten, would not recommend.

Took my son to watch this.

Bat.st.Crazy

Weirdly, some nice dialogue in places, but totally out of place and forgotten about in the next breath when a plane catches a car mid air with a magnet or, as mentioned, you see a fking car in space and still hitting the nitrous button laugh

Absolutely mental.

Paid IMAX for that st too (which probably made it bearable for the sounds and explosions reverberating in my ears for almost the entire run time of the film)

Just came back from the cinema after taking my 9 and 7 year olds to watch it.
Its so far removed from the earlier ones and I get the feeling that to try and justify itself the crashes and stunts just have to be bigger and more unbelievable.
Its mot the sum of its parts.
The earlier ones appealed more due to the slightly more realistic street racing. This is more like a Batman movie.

We went to see it yesterday evening to escape the football, and I was somewhat disappointed to find that we didn't have the whole place to ourselves! hehe

Personally, I thought it was rather fun. Yes, it has clearly jumped the shark, but it has jumped it soooo far, whilst at the same time taking the piss out of itself, that what wasn't to like?? biggrin

Went to see at our local Vue cinema for £5 each and agree with the above, it was fun to watch if you don't take it seriously.

Watched this last night. F&F is very much a guilty pleasure for me, right from the first one, they're silly, but great fun.

This one was just silly to the point of cringeworthy.

Great shame.

Have to agree with a lot of the comments here. I really love the franchise for what it is, I don't mind the fact that they become more and more OTT as the series progresses, but something about this one was a little dull.

Doesn't stop me looking forward to the next one though biggrin

Watched it over the weekend. It is not longer a 'car film' just a generic action film with too much CGI. I'd have been disappointed if I had paid money to see it, but as a freebie it was worth a couple of hours of your time.

I thought it was great entertainment. Completely over the top, no plot, crap acting, daft fights and ridiculous car chases in random countries around the world. Proper brain out bonkersness. What's not to like - you know it's not Shawshank Redemption, it's fights and car chases. Can't wait to see what they do with 10!

I watched this last week and the best part for me was definitely 'Brian' pulling up at the house in his R34!

The Noble M600 in the film is owned by my mum in law's next door neighbour, who also happens to be a stunt driver.

It's actually orange but was wrapped purple for the film. Still waiting for my ride in it- my lad has had a go. Not that that I'm jealous or anything biggrin

Watched this yesterday, I’m glad I didn’t pay to watch it at the cinema, really hope they go back to basics with number 10 as this was like a spoof of F&F

I watched this on sky, it was possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen.

The other 8 films are daft and each one is slightly dafter than the last but sort of watchable and enjoyable. Not this one, it was just bad.

I've just seen this on Sky too, expected to hate it but weirdly embraced the ridiculousness of it all and quite enjoyed it (zoned out at times though)

Does Dom have access to a modified Dodge Charger rental firm everywhere he goes? hehe Liked the wide body mid engine jobbie he was tooling around in.
