fast and the furious 6 opening scene

This is the opening scene to the fast and the furious 6, it is an overview of all the films, it shows scenes from each movie all in order to show the story. it is good because it allows people who haven't seen the films to 'catch up'. as a fan of the series of films, i find this opening scene to be very tense and exciting because its like building up all the films to a conclusion. it makes this film feel like the last one; the final chapter of the story.
