MY FAVORITE CHARACTER

Personally I love Roman Pearce. His witty attitude, humor, free spirit and loose mouth. He had me rolling on the floor right from the fast and furious 2 and I always looked forward to seeing him in every movie. Although he was the clown of the group, his stupid ideas ends up making the most sense at times. He brought a jovial and soft kind of feel to the harsh exterior of the main character Dom. My advice is not to piss Roman off, he can be a beast if his family is tempered with.

WHY IS IT MY FAVORITE MOVIE SAGA?

I first saw the F1-F4 in 2009 when I finished junior secondary school and was home alone after exams. I bought the disk then and it had all four of the movies in it. I watched it all day and just fell in love with the movie. I have kept up with them over the years and can’t wait to watch the F9 coming out soon. It deeply saddened me when Paul Walker passed on 30the November 2013. I felt the loss because he was a good actor and a fine combo to the franchise. I and the entire franchise lovers will miss him forever.

The saga has not ended and a new movie will be released soon this year. I also hear rumors that more spin offs and movies are underway as part of this franchise.

However long the production takes, I am solidly keeping my hopes up and waiting.

Thank you very much for reading my review.
