I really had a great time with The Fate and the Furious, or as some call it, Fast 8. It's just as good as the previous film, Furious 7, which was great. The cast is mostly the same as the last movie, with the exception of Paul Walker of course and with the addition of a few new characters. Diesel, Johnson, Theron, Rodriguez, Statham, Eastwood, Russel, and Mirren are all great in the movie. The acting is to the same caliber as the last movie, I thought there were good performances all around. I loved Charlize Theron as Cipher, the villainess the team must deal with and stop from causing a potential World War III. I loved Scott Eastwood as the rookie assistant of Kurt Russel, perfect for the role. The plot was well written and very well executed. The special effects were typical fast and the furious style. Very loud, over the top and extremely exciting/fun effects. You will never ever be bored with the action sequences, that's for damn sure. And even though Brian and Mia aren't present in this movie, they do get a shoutout and the movie gives a very sweet, thoughtful tribute to Brian. Really the only thing I personally didn't care for and got kinda tired of was Tyrese Gibson and his characters jokes. I thought he was funny sometimes but it got to where every time the camera was on him he was making some joke and there were times when they just didn't really work. The chemistry between the actors are just as great as ever and I thought the movie was just a great very fun way to spend an evening, which is how I feel about the rest of the movies in the franchise. All in all it's a good movie that I highly suggest. 8/10.
