After a single franchise releases eight movies, one of two things can happen. Either each entry gets worse, and fans slowly lose interest. Or each entry finds a crazy way to top its predecessor, and wows audiences once again.

It looks like the Fast And Furious franchise belongs in the latter category, as press have started raving about the upcoming film.
The first screening for Fate Of The Furious just took place at this year’s CinemaCon. While no official reviews can be released yet, the members of the press that were in attendance have took to social media to let fans know what they thought.
Check out some of these early reactions to Fate Of The Furious!
Bigger And Badder
The trailers for the movie have featured a giant wrecking ball and a submarine chase, it wasn’t a secret that they were going even further over the top with this one.
Even though thingsย got crazy, it looks like people really had a blast with it.
The Fate of the Furious takes the ridiculousness of the franchise to a whole new level, yet feels very different. Should be a gigantic hit.

THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS is no joke. Doubles down on action, emotion, intensity, humor &, of course, family. The NYC stuff is off the chain. pic.twitter.com/K3aeviUYCf

Brand New Vibe
With Dom going rogue, and turning on the rest of his team, the movie was sure to have a different tone. The core of family and teamwork wasn’t at the core of this entry, but people are enjoying the change in style.

The Fate of the Furious is another winning entry in the franchise. Crazy, fun, and yet very different feeling. I laughed, I cried, I cheered

Still Tons Of Fun
No matter what vibe the new movie was throwing out, fans of the franchise still had a great time. If you can go to the theater, enjoy yourself, and feel like you got your money’s worth, what else really matters?
