There's very little to her so suspect she's feeling more force than most would in those seats but we've not investigated anything else since. We saw The Force Awakens in 4DX and I really enjoyed all the gimmicks, but my mrs made similar comments about feeling beaten up afterwards. The chairs do shudder quite a bit. I'd say it's worth doing once for a major action blockbuster like Star Wars, but I wouldn't bother again unless it was a lot cheaper.

Fantastic cast. Michael Keaton is fucking dynamic in this. Young Keaton is fucking tremendous. Yeah! One of the great underrated 80s comedies, that. The cast is great too. It's been good to see Keaton getting high profile roles again recently as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resurfaced for Herbie and White noise around 2005 ish and then seemed to disappear again until Birdman. Always quite liked him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really didn't get enough love I don't think. The most I've enjoyed a film released in the past few years anyway.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted April 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2017 I honestly think F&F8 (or the Fate of The Furious as it's known in some parts of the world) may have jumped the shark for the franchise. Has some good bits but overall it outstayed its welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was very sad too, especially with Christopher Lloyd's family situation. Great little sad comedy there. My dad was mentally ill (RIP) and he had to go on trips like Keaton's mob did and they often turned out that way supposedly. Keaton turning up in that rubbish Scottish football movie "A Shot at Glory" was a big "what the fuck!?!?" moment for me. When I seen that, I thought "blackballed".

Seven seemed like a logical conclusion and didn't seem like it was setting up or even needed a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 13, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2017 Of course it did. The introduction of Kurt Russell's character plus the fate of Statham's character at the end of the 7th obviously made it open for another film, not including audience intrigue about where the series would go now that Walker has carked it. Plenty of room for an 8th. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Surely they keep making them until the stars drop and they don't make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FattHardy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I saw the latest episode last night. Very good! Rocky is brilliant in it. As too is Statham. Don't go in expecting it to be modest and quiet. It's not. But it's a bloody good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted April 13, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2017 The last one made over $1.5 billion. There's no way it wasn't getting a sequel. They'll make them until they lose all the major stars or one bombs spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of the movie is a slight giveaway too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
