Not that anyone listens to me, but
Fate of the Furious was awesome.
If you don't give the Fast & the Furious movies a chance because you think they are stupid male power fantasies, then you are missing out on some of the best written female. (and male) characters in any film, as well as some sweet action scenes. But seriously. These movies are excellent ensemble films. It may not show in the beginning, but by 4 or 5 that's what these movies are. However, from the very beginning we have Letty, tough as nails and Dom's equal. We have Mia, who makes up her own mind and is her own person. And those ladies are as important as Dom and Brian.
Show me that in any other film franchise.
