I get what you're saying. But last time it was like that was like... 4 sequels ago in 2003. And that's what made it classic (classically cornball ). Most people can't get past the stigma of the first two and overlook the breakout director Justin Lin's paradigm shift starting with part 3.

Part 4 was dark (so dark you couldn't make out the color of some cars) with the premise of toppling a drug lord. It is what part 2 (also about a drug lord) should have been. Part 5 was The Italian Job Part 2 (heist flick). I fear part 6 will be formulaic following suit of parts 4 and 5 by building around some cliched premise. First drug war, then heist, now perhaps an international conspiracy threatening our national security? (I'm calling it NOW.)

Part 3 was the only one that stayed genuine to the original concept of part 1 yet kept corniness under control (ridiculous fun but not idiotic). Part 1 took underground street racing and converted it into the mainstream. Part 3 took something foreign (drifting) and catalyzed it into American mainstream (it was already happening but Tokyo Drift sped it up). The series needs another car-related "thing" to latch onto and build a premise around. I hope Justin Lin realized this and stepped up to it for 6.
