Slightly sillier and more repetitive than I'd prefer, but still pretty good

F9 once again takes us on a crazy journey across the globe as Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family of misfits are once again threatened by someone with a bone to pick with them. This time that someone is one closer to home than you'd expect.

What can I say? It's yet another Fast & Furious film. You're going to get fast cars, great stunts, good music, exotic locations and a whole pile of quips as these already familiar characters interact with one another.

And it works. It's why this franchise has managed to last this long. The formula is a good one. I'd only wish I wasn't as aware of it as I was with this film. This is very by the numbers kind of franchise film. Which is not always a bad thing, but rarely is it a good one either.

I'm also getting a little concerned about these stunts. They're starting to get... silly. I mean, it's a good thing that the franchise is supposedly soon ending. Because at this rate they'd be jumping from galaxy to galaxy by film fifteen.

Still, I can't say I didn't enjoy myself. These are some of the best popcorn films currently being made and you should not expect anything different.
