“Fate of the Furious” doesn’t achieve anything new for the franchise, and even seems to downshift a bit

The Family is Running on Fumes

Josh Spiegel, Slash Film

It is impressive because the makers of Fast & Furious never had to worry about plotlines as much as the folks at Marvel. All they had to do was come up with permutations and combinations of expensive cars burning rubber on every type of surface possible.

Jeremy Kirk, First Showing

"Fast and Furious" movies are supposed to be unchallenging, but "Fate of the Furious" is full-on brain-dead

The heroes surviving suicidal crashes and bullets while the villains perish is too much to swallow and we are not even mentioning the escape from a nuclear blast with only some charcoal marks on the faces to show

The Fate of the Furious a bit of a letdown, but it was almost to be expected – the last three films have been the pinnacle of this saga, fate that the eighth film in the series wouldn’t be able to hold up to the last three films
