The Fate of the Furious/速度与激情8

I have to say that I had expected more than what I watched in the theater. Family is the point of the Fast and Furious series, but here in this episode, the idea of family is kind of rigid, in another words, Dom (by Vin Diesel), or his team, seems has nothing struggling inside about their "family" before they end the movie with lots of explosions. By contrast, Deckard (by Jason Statham) impresses the audience more, including his fights with Hobbs (by Dwayne Johnson) and his family.

The visual effect is still as good as the first seven movies, but no movie can rely on only visual effect to persuade the audience to buy it.
