Fast Five

Re: Fast Five

Not my cup of tea, but can this movie NOT make megabucks with The Rock and Vin Diesel?

The fight they had was awesome. I think they made it into and broke through 6 or 7 rooms, haha.

The car sequences never gets old to me. The series does car action better than any other movie. The sound of the engine roaring, drifting and wheels screeching is music to my ears.

Re: Fast Five

Saw it as well. Solid. Solid. Solid. Very fun ride (pun intended). The fight between Vin and The Rock was just icing on the cake.


The Rock has gotten even bigger since he left the WWE.

Re: Fast Five

Caught the movie this afternoon. It was awesome. Pretty much by now the producers know what the formula is with these movies and stick to the script. They're highly entertaining for what they are. Here's to Fast 6 next year.

Re: Fast Five

Yeah this movie was fantastic from beginning to the end. Continuing exactly where the last one kept off, let me know right then. It was going to be a fun ride.

Less about the cars and more about the union of friends and family. Great script and tons of action, good story and can't wait to see more.

They closed a lot of doors, answered a lot of questions and made a lot of room for more sequels. I honestly can't get enough of the series.

Fast and Furious 6 come on down!!! Can't wait!

Re: Fast Five

Oh an Tyrese an Don Omar were hilarious throughout the movie.

Re: Fast Five

What a worthy sequel to the franchise. I'm certainly waiting on Furious Six or whatever they want to call it, and I'm sure it'll be great as well.

If you see the movie, stay for the credits. It'll be worth your time.

Re: Fast Five

I really need to go see this. I thought the last one, Fast and Furious, really got this series on track, and now I'm hearing this may be the best one yet.

Fast & Furious was definitely my least favorite, with the only redeeming factor of bringing back the original cast. This one I think is the best movie of the series, though with little street racing it isn't quite the best F&F movie if you add in style points.

Re: Fast Five

Fast Five is the best movie of the series but for cars, it was Tokyo Drift. IMO

Re: Fast Five

I thought it was lame. Aren't these movies supposed to be about cars?

There was no desired car and no super sweet car they drove. There was one race in the entire movie and it was four identical police cars against each other in a race for essentially nothing. Another time they were going to race they just cut to directly after the race.


I was really disappointed. It was like the only cars that were in it were for product placement. And they seemed like they threw in some sweet cars at the very end because they were like "oh, uh, did we forget something?"


If you're expected a movie about racing or cars, skip this.

In all fairness, it was a $4 million pot. I think it's safe to say the race was worth more than just "nothing," though I do get your point. There was a good chance for them to show at least one race when they were winning cars to try and beat the camera (something that they never ended up doing anyway), and I was amped when Dom said to Brian "Let's go get some cars" expecting to see a race.

But in the end, the first movie really only had one heavily focused street race while there was another one against a Ferrari on the road and then Race Wars. It wasn't like race after race after race, and though there was a heavy emphasis on cars I think you forget how big the focus was on characters and Dom's "family." I think the emphasis was carried over nicely in this movie while putting in a high-octane version of Ocean's Eleven that includes chicks and Tyrese.

I think it's just kind of tough to please everyone here, because you don't want to stick to the same formula for five movies, you know? Paul Walker being some undercover cop winning some street races to try and get closer to some bigger target... it kind of gets old. That's why I give Tokyo Drift a lot of praise.
