Movie Reviews of The Fast and the Furious
Movie Review: Thrilling, heart-pounding action movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I walked into the theater not knowing exactly what to expect from this movie. The action packed commercials had lured me into the film but not knowing much about cars, I wasn't too sure if I would understand everything. This movie was everything its title promised to be, right from the beginning. The plot is simple-Brian Earl Spilner (I've seen this movie 8 times, I know by now), is an undercover cop who is assigned to learn more about Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his "team" of late night street racers. The goal is to find out if it was Dom's team or one of the other local racer packs who has been terrorizing California truckers, stealing their shipments. However, Spilner soon becomes part of the team and falls for Dom's sister. The movie continues as he tries to crack the case under the pressure of the FBI, police and suspicions of some of the racers. I am by no means a car afficianado now, but I can tell you that after seeing this movie I learned a LOT about cars. I can't wait to find out about local underground car races and get involved. Its easy for any viewer to recognize that the cars in this film are top quality and being an Eclipse lover, I was personally thrilled. You can't possibly help get pumped up by the incredible racing scenes. Of course you can't discuss this movie without mentioning Gone in 60 Seconds, but this movie goes above and beyond that film in every aspect. And girls, don't be weary, I know I thought it would be a total guy flick, but once you catch a peek at Vin Diesel and Paul Walker you'll be thankful to see this movie.
Movie Review: Stop bitching and review the film... IDIOTS
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think I have ever read so much bitching in my life. If you want to give out about the film go find a forum to piss other people off with ok? And stick to the point at hand, reviewing the film. I dont care if ye deficate on graves of those who died in street races, or glue ironing boards and coffee cans to your cars in an attempt to try and be funny. You're not. And you sound completely RETARDED. Oh, and nobody gets any critical value from your stupid opinions ok? IF YOU HATED IT THAT MUCH WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME WRITING ABOUT IT???? Leave the reviews for people (like me) that actually enjoyed the film and want to tell others about it, and dont ruin it for everyone cos you missed the plot of the film.
If you cared to take any notice it takes a look at the world of street racing, which is already popular all over the world and didnt happen as a result of this film. Also, it does not make truck hijacking or violence cool.... tell me who is going to jack a truck or beat up thier friend... or wait...have a hundred grand in their ass pocket to buy a skyline and do it up just coz they saw this film?
It's a bit of fun and a look at racing in California, with a detective plot. The charcters are likable, there's a good mix of music and excellently done stunts in the hottest racing cars....where's the problem? It's hardly meant to be serious.
Movie Review: If you liked Gone in 60 Seconds....
Summary: 5 Stars
Then this is definately a movie for you to get. I will admit I may be a bit biased because I am a fan of Vin Diesel, but the movie supports itself without the need for "Star power". I consider myself a bit of a Grease Monkey/Car Addict... So from the opening of the movie I was scootched as close to the edge of my seat as one can get, drooling over the Buffet of equipment (and Vehicular Art) that was paraded across the screen. Saliva aside... I found myself drawn into the movie for more than the cars (But they were nice!) The movie takes you through the guy's version of Male bonding and acceptance... forget about the techno-babble it boils down to Trust & Love of cars. It is a testosterone building experience just to watch. Vin Diesel is Mr. Billy-Bad-... in this flick with moments of human emotion that catch you off guard... but acceptably. The cinematography switches styles a few times noticeably but it only stands to highlight the fact that the implication of Speed or Emotion (On a different level) is to be NOTICED right then. This movie will more than likely be one that I need to replace (Due to the constant wear it receives). If you like Cars, If you like Car movies, If you still have a pulse... You will LOVE this movie!Movie Review: WOW! A MUST-SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitly my favorite movie! It is action packed and has a little humor in it as well. If you are into cars, then this movie is like heaven for you. This movie is basically based on trust and illegal street-racing. The technology in these cars are unbelieveable, and the stunts that are performed are mind-boggling.
I have never seen so much "interesting" action in one scene in my life. I saw this movie twice in the theaters, and I bought the DVD the first day.
Some of these cars would be anyone's dream car, but each car gets better than the previous. Whether it's the Green Eclipse or the Honda Civics.
This movie is about an undercover cop who joins a racing team in order to find out who has been robbing tractor-trailers for their electronics. Eventually, they find out that it's Vin Diesel's crew, but Scott Walker lets Vin go free because of the friendship that they have developed. Vin, however wants none of Scott at the end, because of his betrayal.
Overall, the plot is a 3 but the action/special effects are a 5+. The cars in this movie are some of the best I've ever seen in my life. I think that this movie is more for the younger crowd, it appeals to us more than adults.
Movie Review: Awesome!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would say this is a good date movie but then I might just be the only girl in the whole world willing to sit through an action movie. It's got action for the guys and hottie's for the girls. my friends and I went to see it three times. Rookie cop Brian (Paul Walker) gets pulled in to the dangerous and illegal world of street racing after being assigned a case to find out who is robbing semis of jewelry and electronics. Brian gets more then a tough case, he finds a friend in Dominic (Vin Diesel)Leader of the top street racing gang in L.A. He gets accepted into the gang which includes several of Dom's friends his sister and his girlfriend. Brian winds up falling in love with Dom's sister and gets pulled deeper into the family secrets. When he finds out that Dom went to jail for assult and battery he learns that Dom would kill himself before he goes back to jail. But with all evidence pointing to Dom and his gang Brian must decide if he can turn in the man who had become his friend,and leave the only place that he has ever belonged. The special effects on this movie were great and the car chases were awesome!! Buy it,rent it,see it, but whatever you do don't miss it.
