One fan tweeted, “That franchise should have ended a long time ago. Honestly don’t know how long they keep making money, because they must if they continue to make them. Like who buys tickets to watch Fast and Furious 10 or whatever? I guess kids, I don’t know.”
Another fan thought otherwise and replied, “They’re entertaining as hell and it’s true summer blockbuster to kick back and enjoy.”
