It really was the birth of the modern Fast Franchise

It also served effectively as a reboot (hence the title) for everyone who hadn't seen the first 3

And just like the first movie, "Truck Driver with Gun" is their greatest nemesis

The genuinely surprising part of these movies is that we still haven't gotten a decent video game out of them. They lend themselves so well to some sort of "diddy kong racing but sexy/gritty" formula, where some people are in planes, some in hovercraft, some in tanks and so on. It's weird that we never got it. Then again, I guess video game adaptations of film properties have been dying off for a long time. They used to be almost guaranteed.

There have been a few F&F arcade games, one series with cars and another with SUPER BIKES and you can still usually find at least one or the other at any given lovely movie theater arcade, but they're just pretty generic racers, nothing about them really screams Fast and Furious other than the inclusion of NAWWWWSSSSS as a turbo button.

Roman was a legit co-star in 2F2F, just as important as Dom was in the original.

However 2F2F despite it's many important contributions to the series as a whole is legit low effort and ugly, and with the pedestrian direction, out of all of them it's the closest to looking like a straight up TV movie or low budget direct to video shlock, even at twice the budget of the first.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJgRHSwhBTc

Especially notable since Tokyo Drift came after it and looked far better on nearly the same budget. It even steals the climax from Jackie Chan First Strike, which does it better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKRniQw631c

Also the rat torture scene is just mean spirited in a way that nothing else in the franchise is.

No one does, even within the movie, but they just roll with it.

The best parts are flashback young Vin Diesel looking absolutely nothing like F&F1 Vin Diesel. It's like a glimpse into an alternate casting reality.

Louis is an interesting choice. Transporter films were fun action. But not a particular wild choice like some may have hoped. But I guess Lin already had a lot setup, so maybe only so much a new director can add.

My main problem with F9 was how they wasted Cena. Peacemaker Cena would be great in the franchise.
With Cena they seemed to be thinking "we need a big wrestling guy who can act to fill the hole left by The Rock" and while Cena is indeed a very large wrestling guy and a surprisingly good actor he doesn't really work in the role they put him in. It might actually have been better had they just slotted him into Literally The Rock's role in 5, a hardass military tough guy antagonistic to the crew who eventually warms up to them.

They also forgot about Los Bandoleros, the prequel to Fast and Furious 4

https://vimeo.com/11657499

But anyway while it's hard for a multi billion dollar franchise to NOT be cynical and calculating about everything, Dom is clearly a character who is very mixed in a way that feels quite normal and natural to people who are mixed, and possibly very weird and confusing to people who are not. And naturally the nature of his mixed-ness expands ever more as the series goes on and adds heretofore unmentioned family members and creates ever more connections for this international criminal thief/robber/superspy/car warrior extraordinaire.

Vin Diesel kept threatening to "Russian Roulette" cast and crew and claiming he "couldn't die"; it sounds like playing the invincible Dom for twenty-six years really got to his head.
