Outrageous. Ridiculous. Excessive. It’s fair to use all three words when describing the current state of the “Fast & Furious” franchise. 25 years ago, those adjectives would never be used to describe the first movie in the franchise, “The Fast and the Furious.”
I’ve seen every single movie in the “Fast & Furious” saga, including the spin-off, which relied more on comedy than racing. Considering what the movies have become, I miss the days of tuna sandwiches, 10-second cars, and Race Wars. There is a simplicity about “The Fast and the Furious” that I miss, and I’m hoping “Fast Forever” can recapture what made this once-great franchise so special.
