{Spoiler}{Spoiler} At least the film's plot does give Deckard Shaw a character arc to turn him babyface. And saving Dom's son probably was a way to make good on killing Han. I had a bigger problem with Owen Shaw suddenly turning up like "He's good now!" He had no screen time to set this up and it was a glorified cameo that made zero sense. Deckard was angry in a misdirected sense of family loyalty, but now he realizes it was Cipher that was behind it. {Spoiler}Misguided or not, we're still talking about someone who intentionally murdered a member of Dom's extended family being accepted into said family. Power of forgiveness, redemption and all that, sure, but it's an awkward situation whichever way you spin it.

{Spoiler} Oddly enough I didn't take it that Dom was bringing Shaw in with open arms. It was more that he needed to make a deal with someone that also despised Cipher, and by the end Shaw had saved the baby and I would think in Dom's eyes gone a decent way towards redeeming himself.

I saw this out of morbid curiosity. For reference, I have seen the first 2 (when they came out) and none since.
That was...tough to get through. Probably one of the worst action movies I've sat through in a while. All personal opinion of course, and obviously I don't have the emotional attachment to these "characters" like fans of the franchise do. But...wow. Hardly anything made sense. Characters were all one-dimensional and cookie cutter. Also wayyy too long.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Just finally saw it. It was ridiculous and over the top and I loved it. Worldwide gross is a billion dollars as of this weekend. Gee, can't imagine why they keep making sequels.
