Based on this week's news that Hobbs is no longer going to be involved in the (main) series, I took a look back at how the series has been received over the years via Rotten Tomatoes. "Fresh" on RT is 60%, and the series goes:The Fast and the Furious (No Rock, 54%)2 Fast 2 Furious (No Rock, 36%)The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (No Rock, 38%)Fast & Furious (No Rock, 28%)Fast Five (Rock, 77%)Fast & Furious 6 (Rock, 71%)Furious 7 (Rock, 82%)The Fate of the Furious (Rock, 67%)Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (Rock, 67%)F9: The Fast Saga (No Rock, 59%)The average tomato score for the series as a whole is 58%, with an average rating of 5.7.The average tomato score for just the movies without The Rock is 43%, average rating 5.1.The average tomato score for just the movies with The Rock? 73% Fresh with an average rating of 6.3. That's very nearly certified fresh (75%).I know that nobody necessarily watches these movies for their critical acclaim, but I think it's a pretty stark correlation between a "good" Fast movie and a "not so good" Fast movie. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3kN8coe
