Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game-and the rest of the crew has been exonerated-the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of crime he can't seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, the elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world's stage... and to bring home the man who made them a family.REVIEW
FAST & FURIOUS 8 has a running time of 136 minutes, the movie is PG-13 rated, and starts on April 14 / 15, 2017 and continuous the story of Dom Toretto. He lives in Cuba right now, and one day a cyber terrorist called Cipher and she is telling him something, what makes him acting against his own crew and family. He is fighting at the side of Cipher from now on. Cipher is massively clever and evil at the same time, so Mister Nobody calls the rest of the crew. He needs the help of Letty, Deckard, Ramsey, Roman, but also Hobbs. All together they are available to defeat Cipher and Dom. So here we have a story again which is about protecting the whole world. And so we have an action highlight of the year ala first class.But before I can review that story and movie I have to mention two points, which you have to know: firstly, we have to recap the story, because you are watching the 8th part of a story, like of a series. The series started as an action movie, which was about cars, later on it became bigger and better, with more stars of Hollywood. FAST & FURIOUS 8 is continuing doing its job here.The series took its own way, it is not going back to good old times, it goes on and on, and stuff like what we had in the first movies is not there anymore. It is still about cars somehow, but it has a nowadays deeper story and FAST & FURIOUS 8 is telling it in a perfect way. Secondly, you could notice it already in the past. FAST & FURIOUS 8 is a bit unreal when it comes up to physics and normal things. That is normal for that series, because it creates a lot of fun and unexpected moments, when a viewer says wow I did not know that this was possible, I want to do it, too. That is the special character of those movies and FAST & FURIOUS 8 puts these standards to a higher level. It is mainstream, don't try to understand it too much, it is still creative and makes fun with a bag full of popcorn. It is pure fun to watch and for example we have busts of one liner, people are telling each other, that it was simply funny to see. So overall it is pure non sense but on the other hand it is fun and this is what I expect from a movie house visit.
The CAST is nothing new for the series. Vin Diesel as Dom Toretto, always in the movies. Cool guy, but not a lot of screen time this year, even though he is the character who give the story the kicks and twists. Why is he doing that? Inner circle spoken there is a point, where I can say okay I get it why he is doing it and the storytelling behind that is also okay.
The combination of Jason Statham and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is pure action and fun. These two hat each other, and they have so many one liner and bad words for each other, that it made a lot of fun to watch them being together in one team. The want to kill each other, but then they work together. Imagine this. So cool. The fighting choreography's are awesome, they look real and the action is insane in this 8th parts. Those scenes are great, and full of high quality, which I liked a lot. The other crew members are business as usual, if you watched the previous parts.
Now let's talk about Charlize Theron as Cipher, a bad girl? I will leave you alone with question, watch the movie and you will find out. However, she is a powerful girl in that movie, and tell us something new like the fact, that a girl might be the evil person, is not common yet. She is outstanding in her performance, she has charm, intelligent, and compared to all the other cast members, she is the best in FAST & FURIOUS 8 in my eyes.
The CAMERA is high quality. It speeds up in the action sequences, fast and furious, a bit too much CGI maybe, so you can see the rendering in the background. But most of relatively colorful.
The SETTING is like the usual from Cuba, Island feeling, but also cities of Germany, and the Antarctic are placed in FAST & FURIOUS 8.
The MUSIC is a bit misplaced in the movie. It wants to give a homage to Hans Zimmer or Michael Bay, and in the slow motion scenes we have to much hard rock, which is too high leveled.
The EFFECTS are a bit too much digital, too much CGI, but very expensive.
Please note before I conclude that there will be 3 more parts coming in 2018, 2019, and 2020 and so here we have the beginning of a new movie series FAST & FURIOUS 8, which is a sequel of the second part.
CONCLUSION:
What I liked about the movie is, the crazy and not comparable to physics action, and the creative mind behind that. I cannot tell you more because this would be pure spoilers. I did not expect the action in some moments, this is so absurd and so unreal, that I was surprised for more than 100%, and so it' so funny. The storytelling is understandable, the behaviour of Dom is reasonable. It has more jokes than the other parts. The characters are more pointed out. It is pure popcorn main stream cinema action, nothing else. Don't forget that this part 8 of a series, this is really important, so that you can go to the cinema and tell yourself: okay, it is wow it is. We know the kind of action and humor of that series.
What I do not like about the movie is, because of the surreal action it might be boring and not funny for some of you.
So for FAST & FURIOUS 8 as an action highlight of the year and I am a fan of that series, I had a lot of fun while watching, I was amazed by the movie I will give it 9/10 points, compared to all the other movies 5.5/10 because of the said reasons, because it is nothing else than action.
For real fans of the FAST & FURIOUS series, go have fun, you will enjoy, and so I am done with that review of FAST & FURIOUS 8, in cinemas April 14/15, 2017. Thanks for reading and have fun while watching.
