Well the last 3 movies were ridiculous as hell too but that didn't stop them raking in the money. Surprisingly those movies also got at least 70% rating (ok F6 got 69% but that's close).
I did enjoy the last few ones and am totally checking this out. I'm betting this to be another hit but not as big as F7. That one will most likely be the highest grossing one in the franchise.

They're not gonna have Paul Walker again. It would be dumb and disrespectful to still use a dead man a second time. Especially as a helpless character.

It is said that Charlize Theron is an old friend and knows something about Dom's past and will expose it if he doesn't help him or something.

Oh and TGV already started selling tickets yo.

Early buzz is positive which is always good to hear.
‘The Fate of the Furious’ Early Buzz: The Eighth Movie is as Crazy (and as Fun) as You’d Expect

First lets talk about the new 4D hall at MBO. Once you've tried it you'll never go to D-Box again. D-Box is considered kids stuff compared to 4D. Besides the usual seat rumbling you get to smell the engine (the smell kinda feels like its getting thrown right at your face and some people didn't like the smell), see a bit of smoke and sprinkled by a bit of water, blinking flashes when gun shots are fired, and feel a little wind near your ear as if bullets missed them by inches. for some reason your legs will also get tickled. Definitely something you should try at least once... and never again, just like D-Box. It was alright but I still find moving seats too distracting. So yeah go give it a shot. The 3D was crap as usual because you hardly notice anything.

Now for the movie, I personally think its one of the better ones. If you enjoyed the last few ones with all the crazy action then you'll love this because you're getting the same thing. I thought the climax was amazing and those who are familiar with the series are in for a surprise. It also had a really touching ending which I thought was well done.

What the hell I'll give this a 5/5 for still having enough gas to be so entertaining.

Yeah its screening in 3D and it makes the screen a little darker because of the glasses.
I'm also wearing spectacles and it wasn't too bad. The 3D glasses look like normal spectacles (unlike those from IMAX which are huge) and really light and you don't feel much weight.

You know what? Watched it in MBO 4D first then in TGV IMAX 3D and I actually miss the rumbling seats and smell of burning tire from the 4D hall. When I was watching it in 4D I felt that it was all too distracting but when I finally watch it in a normal hall, I miss it.

Something I noticed after watching the second time:

Reviews are mixed but I think this will turn out to be the second highest grossing one. Fast7 will forever be the highest because of the Paul Walker hype, good soundtrack, and was also a lot better than the last one.

Fast8 just overtook The Force Awakens to score the biggest opening in history. Daaamn..
