FIRST TIME WATCHING: Fast and Furious

The family 🤌

Tokyo Drift has not happened yet in the universe, its film "6" in chronological order. The original cast wasn't in the 2 movie because Diesel wanted more artist control and since they didn't give it to him and couldn't sign him they changed the story line. 2fast 2 furious was not well received so they decided to switch it up with tokyo drift and started with another cast but that also didn't go well. Then the stupid finally gave diesel want he wanted with more control and then the movies started getting better.

Huh, I really liked this one. As in, just now when I finished it for the first time, not 10 years ago. I could finally stop rolling my eyes at ALL the dialogue, and the car stuff had some neat ideas and very cool shots. I now don't want to imagine watching the rest of them without Natalie. Please keep going, even if you need a break. And like, your words say "This is dumb", but the vibe says you're enjoying this. You like this, don't you. Go on. Admit it. This isn't entirely awful, is it? I just watched you react to 3 of these in a week. That was not a react-person who hates this. That, or you're really good at keeping the gun that's pointed at you just out of frame. Like, REALLY good.

As a car enthusiast all my life, I despise all of these.... 😂

Five is the best one by far not counting the original. It's the start where they lean fully into the camp and embrace what makes these movies fun while dropping a lot of the silly drama

Hang in there Nat! The franchise gets better from this point. Stick with it until at least Furious 7, it's worth it, especially after making it this far.

Don't worry Nat, its only going to get more ridiculous lmao. To be fair, we're at the point where it gets fairly decent again, story still gonna be wild, but its at least good lol.

Brian’s journey from cop, to street criminal, to Fed, to high-class criminal 😭 you’re so right

Say what you want about these movies but there’s always nuggets of gold in there somewhere That moment when Dom figures out Letty was working for Brian when she dies🔥🔥🔥 HEAT Like i think these are genuinely enjoyable popcorn action flicks up until like 8/9

Nothing says “i love you” like leaving money on the table as you leave in the middle of the night 🥹😅

the next one is the best one, hang in there. loving this series.

Okay ngl I forgot about this one, I thought this was Fast Five 😅 THAT’s when they nail the formula

This one’s a little rough but we have now officially entered the peak era of this series. Tokyo Drift is my favourite up until now, and this might actually be my least favourite (2 is just more fun), but the next 3 I would probably all rank above every film so far.

Re: the titles, I really feel like they missed an opportunity down the line when the tenth one wasn't Fast Ten: Your Seatbelt.

Who’s ready for 5,6 and 7 Look Nat after 7 you can stop but you can’t skip 5,6 and 7

I think saying they are bad and good is a nice description Nat, that is what they are they have entertaining stuff through them but they have wayy over the top shit which detracts from them being serious at all. So good and corny I guess. But they are worth a watch if only once, there is crossover storylines throughout them too which is nice and ties things together and ends some stories and starts new ones, which after having seen previous movies you go ohhh fuck ok then. You are right also in you shouldnt watch them in a big bunch cos it would definitely become too much fast.

Next 3 are the best of the series, after that, they literally "Jump the shark"

Hang in there, Nat. Fast 5-7 are the reward for having to sit through 2-4. I appreciate you sticking it out.

Can't stop won't stop! Don't stop!

I have a feeling you will go up to 7 that's my prediction lol I personally love them.

Fast Five is my favorite. They do a really good job of reinventing the formula and adding new life to the franchise.

Did you realise Fenix is MM from the boys?

Please do not stop. The next one is the Prizoner of Azkaban of the franchise.

This one is fairly weak in the FF franchise. But if you don't enjoy these movies because of physics...you probably shouldn't continue coz the rest are not gonna make you like them more (though the next one is arguably the strongest installment). These movies are basically the instant ramen of the movie business. They provide sustenance to people's crave for entertainment, but barely any substance. There are a lot of flaws in all of them but I think a lot of people appreciate the passion for providing entertainment to as wide range of people as possible. And frankly, these are the movies that have the highest rewatch potentials for me. Like, Parasite is undoubtedly a masterpiece, but I don't think I've ever rewatched it. But Marvels (pre phase 4) and these movies, many of times. A movie certainly can have both high rewatchability and entertainment value, but those are vey rare.

lol mentions of physics issues in the 4th film

Okay so they weren’t brought to Mexico to be killed. They got shipped to mexico in the containers, got the drugs, drove them BACK across the border through the tunnel

Enjoyed watching this with you Natalie. :) I'm not the biggest fan of this one though. This is the weakest of them all so far, for sure. Don't worry though, they get back on track and it'll be fun again. :)

They were brought from the U.S. to Mexico in the truck and had their cars filled with the "shipment" when they arrived. They drove their cars from Mexico through the convenient tunnel back to the U.S. Braga was going to have the drivers executed because they are witnesses.

It seems like Nat is taking these movies far more seriously than they even take themselves. Especially starting from this point and onwards these movies know exactly what they are and heavily lean into that which is what the fanbase loves them for. She’s priming herself to dislike it before the opening credits even roll. I would just say these movies clearly aren’t for her and that’s fine. They aren’t really the type of movie meant to be picked apart they’re just fun outrageous popcorn action flicks with characters that many people grew attached to over the years

Glad you're hanging on for at least 1 more movie, Nat. Most fans of the series consider Fast 5 the best one in the series, and I think it's by far the highest rated critically as well.

When I was going to see this in theater, I realized that I had seen the other three in theater as well. So I vowed to see every one in theater. The only one I didn’t see was Hobbes and Shaw and I still haven’t seen it at all

You're about to hit what many consider the peak of the franchise, Fast Five goes so fucking god damn hard.

Im sorry but they are not good movies apart from the first one, a few entertaining action sequences here and there but im fairly sure each one you try watching kills half the brain cells you have.

"The stunts are just getting more and more unhinged in every movie". This is the very heart of the franchise.

I didn't even recognize the actor who played Mothers Milk in The Boyz was in this.

Everyone crying that nat is biased because she doesnt like something are seriously pathetic. These are guilty pleasure movies at best. Nats not gonna hate something because shes been programmed to. Give her some credit. Shes giving these movies a chance and they could change her mind. Not her fault that they are stupid, thin plot, ridiculous, cliche trash. You cant expect someone to just get stupider to enjoy something.

The crappy ones are finally done! If she doesn't stop now, she gets to see this franchise turn into the motoring version of MCU. 😄

Keep going lol I’m enjoying these 😃

Checkout Running Scared if you can, Tarantino praised Walkers performance in that film, a lot of people havent seen it, really fun crime thriller!

I guess its safe to say next week there will be no FF reaction which is a shame because FIVE is The Best one imo!

Hate to break it to everyone who thinks she’ll enjoy 5-7. I highly doubt she will. She’s already so biased against these movies it’s definitely affecting her reactions. Yeah they aren’t good movies but I think there’s silly fun to be had if you want to.

IMO, 3-4-5 was the best of the series. But yeah, watching 2 FF movies in a row within a week is overkill! LOL!

I don’t remember what exact year I started listening to reggaeton, but I grew up with it. Anyone who grew up listening to old-school reggaeton has heard of Don Omar. For many, he’s considered one of the pioneers of the genre. “Dile” and “Dale Don Dale” were two of his first songs as well as two of several reggaeton classics. Both were from his first album The Last Don. At the end of Tokyo Drift, you could hear a song of his called Los Bandoleros. It’s a collab he made with fellow reggaeton musician Tego Calderon. Both Don Omar and Tego Calderon appear in the beginning of this movie speaking Spanish. Also in the end credits to Tokyo Drift, you can hear another one of his songs called Conteo which means countdown. That song wasn’t just in the movie’s soundtrack. It also made its’ way into Don Omar’s second studio album King of Kings which also includes “Angelito” (little angel) and Salió El Sol (The sun is out).

I gotta say, as a member of the side that enjoys these movies for the most part, and as someone who usually loves your reactions, it's really disappointing to see you be so biased against them from the jump that you just pick every tiny thing apart instead of giving them a chance. Seriously, every scene it's like you are just trying to find something to pick at. Get out of your own way and at least give yourself a chance to enjoy them!

Never thought Nat would watch that kind of Horrormovie, even less so many of them although we all know it gets even worse. 😆

Becareful nat, they only get aggresively stupider😅

Yeah don't do these back to back.

Is this supposed to be one of the better ones? I'm outtadaloop

Well, if you don't even like this film. I'd stop now before you piss everybody off with your overly cinical takes on even good cinema. How hard is it to just enjoy a movie.

Oh no, no, noooooo i don't know how many more I can take 😱😱.. Love your reactions Nat, and ill keep watching as long as you keep watching them lol..

"did a number on me"? oh god does that mean you're stopping?! god no! please god no!!!! lol Just have fun with these!

Happy Toretto T'ursday 😄 Yay, we are back with da family today Nat 😊 That was another fun reaction Nat. As much as I love these movies, they are meant to be just a good time and not to be taken too seriously 😄 Fun to not only see Gal Gadot in an early role, but also M.M. from The Boys as the crazy villain Fenix. Look forward to to the next race 😊
