Hm... seems like there won't be any surprises.

Man, Michelle Rodriguez is totally not selling that "You'd turn your back on FAMILY?" line at all.

Yeah, I saw it, too. Super fun. I'm already chomping at the bit for Fast 9.

It's pretty much as advertised. Not too bad all things considered but...

Spoiler:
"Thanks for rescuing the son I apparently have now Jason Statham, I never liked Han anyway, or that hospital full of people - have a Corona"

Surprisingly good. Harkened back to 5 a bit with the whole "What you think you saw... HERE is what actually happened." I was surprised at a few clever bits. Statham is hilarious in this. Rock and Statham carry the movie.

What I didn't like...

Spoiler:
* Statham killing Han is very suspiciously downplayed. There should have at least been something there at the end with him and Dom about, "Well, I took a life... I've given you back a life. Are we good now?" But nothing. I actually suspect they'll just un-kill off Han now, if they're this resolved to add Statham to "mi familia." The whole reason Statham killed Han was to avenge his brother... and his brother didn't even die.

* Way, way too "neat" to kill off Elena so that Dom gets a son without either having to share custody with Elena or have Letty go through a pregnancy in-series. Letty never should have come back and this is just wrong.

* 3 movies in a row now, they're not killing the bad guy. In fact, now they're actively making friends with them. This doesn't seem like a sustainable recipe.

I can agree with you about the Jason Statham thing. I didn't really like that.

Universal is planing a spinoff movie featuring the characters of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.

I enjoyed the movie, but those two were the best parts of the movie.

Seems like it might be FAKE news. I don't see them having Cypher pop up next in anything other than F9.

It has to be legit, variety is a reputable source.

I heard that they cut an after credit scene that hinted at a Rock Statham spinoff at Vin Diesel's insistence.
