Movie Reviews of The Fast and the Furious
Movie Review: Fast cars, good stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
Regardless of the bashing from previous reviews this movie is actually quite good. Granted the plot could have been better, but for car lovers like myself I really enjoyed it. It may only be for the select few amongst the crowds but I for one like racing of all types and tuned-up cars, somewhat skimpy women and action scenes is more than enough entertainment for me. Yeah, I guess that is shallow but hey I like easy-going movies.As for teaching people to drive insane and kill people in the streets...anyone who would actually do that is dumber than words can say. If your dumb, nothing is going to change that so don't buy this movie if that is what you expect yourself to do afterwards. Second of all anyone in their right mind would realize that the action is done with professionals, and also in the end they suffered consequences for their "evil"(as Ian put it) actions. No one should go out and deal in thievery, drugs, or participate in illegal street racing, it is very dangerous and WILL just land you in jail or the morgue.
I give the movie 2 thumbs up for well tweaked cars.
Movie Review: A guy flick? Maybe not....
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard about this movie, I was told "it's just another 'guy' flick" and advised not to go see it. Well, I ignored that advice and I'm darn glad I did cos it's a great movie! Although the plot is a little weak, the strong cast holds it together and makes it a movie worth watching. Brian is instantly suspicious and the explaination for his behaviour is no big surprise. What is a shock is who is behind the truck robberies; although the suspicion is there the film makers throw the viewer a few red herrings to throw you off the scent. The two female leads are so vastly different that complement each other perfectly and the "team" is so diverse that you never quite know where they're coming from. A bunch of nice cars, and nice bikes, adds the finishing touch to an intimate look at the illegal street racing scene of today's American youth.If you're not sure rent the movie rather than buying it but WATCH IT as it's a great movie with a wondferful cast.
And there's always Vin Diesel with his shirt off for the ladies to look at ;->
Movie Review: A New Appreciation
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit upon first seeing the preview I was unsure if this was a film to enjoy. Imports were more of an annoyance of mine as I have a preference to the muscle cars of the 60's and early 70's. The reason I agreed to see it came from the quick flash of a '68 Dodge Charger standing up on its rear wheels. Upon sitting down I was preparing for the the high pitch megaphone tail pipes to begin wailing but found myself appreciating the time and effort put into to each of these cars. The imports I have been shown main "mods" have been said tail pipe, some wheels, and a slew of stickers. Naturally the Charger didn't let me down and got goose bumps seeing the garage door open to pour light on the massive black beast with a blower set atop the heart of the monster. At the advise of a friend I sat through the entire credits to find a beautiful '70 Chevelle menacing the Mexican landscape. I recommend seeing this film if you are fascinated by cars in any respect and may hopefully come away with a new found respect to the import market.Movie Review: Great but
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, let's set the record straight, and give some insight on some ways that I believe this movie could have been better. For starters, was the director or whoever was in charge of dialogue in the right state of mind when they made the line "you're gonna need more than that crotch rocket". Let me just say that the Honda CBR 900RR that Johnny Tran was riding would have smothered the tar out of Dominic's ride. And though Dominic wasn't speaking to Lance, the Yamaha YZF R1 he was riding would have incinerated Dominic. I am an avid bike rider, so I KNOW these things to be true. One complaint I had was, why didn't they have the mother of all super sport bikes on the film? The Suzuki GSX-R 1000 is without a doubt the hottest bike on the market. How else can you refer to a machine that weighs a feathery 374 lbs. (dry), and can go a quarter mile in 9.74 seconds at approx. 144 mph. Given, that cars weigh a lot more than bikes and can still run at fast speeds, but my argument is that the dialogue personnel was way outta line.Movie Review: MUST SEE NOW
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movies to be one of action packed adventure as well as an insight into today's modern teen as well as the young adult. This movie, to say the least, ROCKED! The music was great, the plot better, and the man picked to play Dominic, could not have been anymore perfect. I saw it originally in the Theater because my cousin made me go..I was not at all happy for the simple fact, I'm a female, in my mid to late twenties...I'm way out of the car racing scene and phase...but after watching this movie, I not only had to watch it again, I bought the DVD. This is a movie you can watch with your boyfriend or husband and be just as happy...The only thing I didnt like about it was the ending...it was one of those endings that makes you beg for more information...Is he still a cop? Are they still friends?? Did he get Mia? Dominic ever get his sister into school?? Where did everyone go? Did he get caught? Will there be a SEQUEL to answer these questions???? I Hope so...because I'll camp out to get the tickets!
