It's been 17 years since 2001, from the initial low-cost police car stunts, with American street racing culture as a selling point, to the mid-term introduction of Japanese racing culture in Tokyo Drift, which was extremely appealing to me when I was a young man in the prime of my life.
Frankly speaking, as a car lover, I also love to drive cars, such as Civic EG8, EG4, EK Big Tec, to SABARU WRX for a short period of time, and then bB, BMW.... .......even I don't like to drive for the last 3 years, those who know a little bit about cars should understand the change of my mindset. Basically, my wild and speedy style is in sync with my mindset.
I liked Wild Times from Episode 1 to Episode 6, but I've had reservations since Episode 7 and now Episode 8. It's as if Paul Walker passed away and lost his soul, but I know that's not it.

Wild Fast 8 is inseparable from the car, fighting and that has been the formulaic action scenes, stunt action scenes are particularly exaggerated, submarines, nuclear weapons, global monitoring system, as a commercial film with this level of footage, the audience will not be disappointed in terms of entertainment, and obviously will still be a box office seller in the heyday of the FF8, although there are closer to the real world of the exciting scenes, such as the car driving system is being The car's unmanned driving system is being manipulated by malicious people, and so on. However, as a supporter of the film since its first episode, do you feel that FF8 is no different from James Bond and Mission Impossible, with its repetitive and familiar moments from other blockbusters?
The most disappointing thing for me, as an old viewer, is that Wild 8 no longer mentions the street racing culture of various countries. Take the location of this episode in Xavana, Cuba, for example, although the buildings and cars have a quaint Cuban style, and there is still a large section of bizarre and exaggerated street racing scenes, the film only talks about Cuban people's love of running a one-kilometre race, and the Cuban "cultural" plot is finished in a single sentence. It's like a FF with a body but no soul.
In conclusion.
The story and the stunts are all well delivered, the script and action scenes are big enough and there are no cold spots in the two hours, but as mentioned above, I've obviously seen a bit of bad taste in the series, and I feel that it has turned its back on its initial loyalists, so I believe that it may be a wise choice to only make it to the 10th episode.
