If you’re one of the many trillions of people who have seen “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” then you know that, like all previous “Star Wars” films, this new one is packed with visual effects.
So I’m not a huge “Fast and the Furious” fan. I don’t dislike the films. But I’m not dying to see them either. Actually, I haven’t even seen them all yet. I liked the fifth one, but I wasn’t terribly crazy about the sixth. Maybe they are just a little too over the top for me. I love cartoon action, but I think I would enjoy these more if they were just a bit more grounded. I have the same problem with the “Die Hard” films. They started off with a character who was portrayed as a real person and as the film series progressed, that character became more and more superhuman. I still enjoyed them (not #5 at all), but I did have a harder time embracing them. (For the record, the first “Die Hard” is the best action film of all time.)
