       Right of the bat, I have to point out that there is a MASSIVE
       void in The Fate of the Furious with the absence of Paul Walker.
       There is no getting around this. Throw in the fact that Jordana
       Brewster is also MIA, the canyon is even wider. I expected this
       to happen with her. You can't have her still in the franchise
       without Paul's character. It would just point out the fact that
       he wasn't around when their characters are living a peaceful
       life now. I miss them both as most fans of the series do. With
       that out of the way, onto the flick itself. I mentioned in
       Furious 7

       />how much of a cartoon the series was turning into. Well, take
       everything that happens in Furious 7 and multiply that by 1000
       and you have an inkling of what Furious 8 is. This movie is so
       over the top ridiculous in it's stunts and practicality. You
       definitely have to check your brain at the door before you sit
       down for this one. I'm not exaggerating here in how over the top
       it gets, from the "Zombie" Cars in the city to the Submarine
       Chase. It's out there. The movie serves up a lot of wow moments.
       It's an exciting 2 hour thrill ride. Charlize Theron is a great
       addition to the series and is sure to come back for more (I
       hope).  Helen Mirren was a nice surprise...playing against type.
       Well, she got a taste of that in Red. Anyway, the movie is
       fun...but I can't give it more than 3 Stars due to the fact that
       both Paul and Jordana are sorely missed. FYI, I absolutely knew
       that Dom (Vin Disel) was going to name his kid 'Brian'. It was
       so obvious where they were taking this. It was a nice touch.
       Worth a Rent.
