Yes, yes, far too complicated for movies that we're mostly watching for mind-blowing action, car chases, and Vin Diesel being a quasi-superhero. But honestly? Just deal with it. It's worth it. If you're new to the Furious- verse and looking to firmly entrench yourself in the family, well, you're in for a great time and don't be surprised if you find yourself craving a Corona very soon.
If you're going to watch all of the movies, we recommend watching them one way and one way only: the order in which they were released. But for whatever reason, that's not for everyone.
Some people like to watch these movies in the chronological timeline order of the movies' events. We do not recommend this, especially not for newcomers. But in case you want to, you can. Even though the Fast and Furious movies mess around with the over-arching timeline quite a bit mainly, we think, as a way to keep fan-favorite, chip-snacking speedster Han Sung Kang in the mix , we are always going to recommend watching the movies in the order in which they were released as opposed to the chronological timeline order.
Just like with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and even the Fox X-Men movies, watching these movies in the order in which they were released allows you to have certain shocking reveals that change everything in the way they were intended theatrically. Watching otherwise may erase those thrills, or, even worse, give you a reveal that at the time makes little to no sense. So, without further ado, here's the order in which you should watch every Fast and Furious movie:.
The story starts here. Sure, some day we'll probably get a prequel about Dom, Letty, Mia, and Brian's younger days, but for now the entire saga of family, cars, and Corona begins with low-level heists, drag racing in the street, and a wildly nu-metal-influenced soundtrack. Stream It Here. Still, despite Dom's absence, 2 Fast 2 Furious which takes place chronologically after The Fast and the Furious is still very silly, very fun, and very action packed. The story also introduces Ludacris as Tej and Tyrese Gibson as Roman, two characters who become crew mainstays over the course of the next So here's where our timeline gets a little This is also the first time we meet vital series mainstay Letty Ortiz Michelle Rodriguez.
The story of what Dom and Letty were up to after the first movie is explained in the short film, Los Bandoleros. This is where things get screwy. The fourth movie in the series is actually the third chronologically and, story-wise, a direct sequel to the first film. It's also the first time we meet Gal Gadot as team-member Gisel.
The film that pivoted away from car racing and directly into glorious nonsense, director Justin Lin 's Fast Five picks up immediately after Fast and Furious.
Lin's third straight entry in the franchise takes place about six months after Fast Five. A post-credits scene introduces Jason Statham 's Deckard Shaw and changes some of the events of Although the studio in no way planned for this, so some stuff absolutely does not line up and part of the fun is you just accept it. It's exhilaratingly ridiculous, yes, but it's also ridiculously exhilarating. Another critic, Tim Grierson of Screen Daily , also praised the film, but said viewers may feel the film-makers are running out of ideas.
But he added: "As fast and furious as F9 races along, it can't quite outrun the impression that these films are losing some of their freshness. Gibson rejects the suggestion that the franchise is past its peak.
It's possible, of course, that the universe will continue in other forms. For example, Hobbs and Shaw are likely to get a sequel at some point. But the the film-makers are calling time on the main strand. Even working on Fast 9, I felt like I had four scripts. I was trying to figure out Han [played by Sung Kang], which was almost a movie in itself. But for Dom, the family and the Saga, it deserves an ending. And the sense of finality is very appealing to me personally.
