Ranking all 11 works of the blockbuster series "Wild Speed"! The latest version of the saga is finally at its climax! ※note! Contains spoilers.
1st place: "Fast and Furious MEGA MAX" (11) Director: Justin Lin 132 minutes
Yokozuna's masterpiece entertainment that determined the future of the series.
This is the fifth work in the series, and it is a masterpiece that affirms all of the past ``Waispi'' and at the same time determined the direction of ``Waispi'' that followed. To be honest, the series after the second work continued to be a mess no matter who watched it.
What ``MEGA MAX'' tried to do and was so successful was that it presented a bright vision of the future without denying everything about the past messes in the real world or the four works that came out in the past. To put it simply, ``MEGA MAX'' is a festival where the main characters who have appeared separately in the past come together, and it is a powerful statement that declares, ``Everyone who has been involved so far is part of the Waisupi family!'' It was. Naturally, it perfectly fits the concept of a pseudo-family within the ``Waispi'' series.
At the same time, a major scale-up was promoted. The film is full of jaw-dropping action that will keep you breathless, such as a car dive from a cliff in the early stages, a life-threatening escape through Rio de Janeiro's favelas (slums), and a car chase dragging a huge safe at the climax that overwhelms you with incredible feats of skill. . This film also marks the first appearance of Agent Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, and the fight between the giants Vin Diesel and The Rock is as exciting as Godzilla and Gamera.
Speaking of changes in direction, this is also the first time that Team Toretto's criminal plans have the exhilaration of "punishing evil." The story of rallying friends to steal a huge safe from a nefarious villain turns Team Toretto, originally a stingy band of robbers, into ``good-hearted thieves.'' Although I feel that the feeling of being on the side of justice has become too strong these days, it is precisely because ``MAGA MAX'' was perfect as a thrilling and unparalleled entertainment that the current ``Waispi'' series has flourished.
And Eva Mendes from "X2" briefly reappears, and the final scene where she presents Hobbs with a photo of the supposedly dead Letty and asks, "Do you believe in ghosts?" is the best. At that moment, I completely surrendered and said, ``I'm going to follow this series forever!'' I can understand why people are nostalgic for the early days of simple car action, but just making the fifth film seem the most interesting is a feat that will go down in film history as no other series has been able to accomplish.

In addition to adding two works, some works have had their rankings changed from last time. As I've been following the series for many years, I've started to miss the simplicity of the first and second games, and I've moved up the rankings. No, the position of the second work remains the same, second from the bottom, but my internal evaluation has increased.

As for future developments in the series, ``Fast Before that, ``Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Reyes'' (tentative title), starring Agent Hobbs as the main character, is scheduled to be released, which is said to be a bridge to ``Fast X Part 2.'' It is said that spin-off projects such as extra episodes featuring female characters, which have already been talked about, and a solo work for Cipher played by Charlize Theron, will begin after the main story is completed. Of course, we can't help but look forward to guest appearances from current regular members.
