I really loved this series, it is definitely my favorite movie series. I give this series a 9.5 out of 10, with the movies that have been released. My favorite movie in the series is Furious 7, especially after the tribute they gave to Paul Walker. Brian O’Conner was one of my favorite characters in the series. If you ask anyone who is a fan of the series about Brian O’Conner, 9 times out of 10 they will say that he was a great character.
This franchise is something that will be a part of cinematic history forever. It’s arguably one of the best movie franchises to ever be created. It will be extremely hard to top this franchise.
