Because this franchise cow hasn't been milked enough...
Isn't it ridiculous? How stupid and juvenile it all is? How you can tell it's just going to be another dumb excuse-plot that establishes a bunch of big-budget action set-pieces that go off while no-talent hack actors growl about family as if that makes it deep instead of the film equivalent of a Baconator from Wendy's!?!
...
Oh who am I kidding, it still looks amusing to me, dammit. I can't help it. Cheesy dialogue? Explosions? Growling about family! Vin Diesel in a wifebeater (yum)! Everyone knows exactly what it's going to be, and I can't actually be angry about it. At this point the series is so long in the tooth that it could legally sign its name onto the title of a car and buy guns. We've jumped the shark so many times that the shark has gotten frustrated and gone looking for a WWE wrestler to team-up with.
Even more fun? There's already confirmation that they're making a tenth one.
And, as I've stated everywhere to anyone who will bother to listen because even if it ISN'T funny I think it is: If they don't title that one 'Fas10 Your Seatbelts', Hollywood needs to get new screenwriters.
...I mean, this series is probably evidence they need to do that anyways, but still.
What of you folks? Does anyone else have a bizarre appreciation for this stupidity? Or do they just recognize it for what it is?
Personally, I'm kind've sort've waiting for the day they reset everything with different actors and variations on the central premise and turn it into some kind of knockoff American 'James Bond'-alike.
