Movie Reviews of The Fast and the Furious
Movie Review: "Faster" than Gone In 60 Seconds!!
Summary: 5 Stars
R U Fast and Furious?The Fast and the Furious comes at you like it says. It's not a long movie and really never slows down much at all! Those looking for a movie delving into a complex plot with in depth charachters need not watch it. The movie is as the preview shows, a lot of great car chase scenes held together by a loose form of a plot.
It does what Gone in 60 Seconds only wishes it could do. In Gone In 60..you have 2 scenes with cars driving fast at all. Here, you have at least 6 or 7 distinctly different and memorable scenes. Although acting ability and some of the lines lack severely, this can be forgiven and is made up by the cars.
This movie is perfect for anyone into speed and tuned import sports cars for the most part(yes, even the occasional despicable economy car made to "perform" is present). When I first saw the previews I knew this was going to be basically an adrenaline rush of a movie! I gave it 5 Amazon stars(when actually a 10!) because that's what it delivered.
Movie Review: very good film
Summary: 5 Stars
I was only 11 when this film hit the cinemas, but i've got it on DVD and its one of my favourites.
Sure, the plot's a bit messed up but there are some good cars and racing scenes.
Dominic Torretto (the sexy Vin Diesel) and his car-crazy team just race around in cars and fix them.
His team are his girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) his sister Mia (Jordanna Brewster) a dude named Jesse and Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker)
Michelle Rodriguez's "bad-ass bitch" attitude can get on your nerves in some parts but she acts good.
I'd never heard of Paul Walker before I saw this film, but it takes a while for you to figure out that he's an undercover cop.
Oh yeah, Ja Rule's also in it, but not for that long..
Some of the lines these people had to deliver were awful - Vin Diesel " I live my life a quarter mile at a time" Michelle Rodriguez - " Growwl...I can smell skanks" WTF??
All in all, it's a great film, the odd swear word here and there but good entertainment.
Movie Review: Quit Whining
Summary: 5 Stars
I think it is sad that these people writing these reviews are so mad and critical about a movie that was created for the sole purpose of portraying an underground car club. Have you ever heard of FICTION????? It's an interesting concept where people ignore their dismal, ordinary lives and actually try to enjoy a movie about fast cars and hot women. I know that it's hard to do this when you are driving a primer-spotted metro, but seriously, where has the sense of adventure and imagination gone. If you ever had the experience to drive a car like the ones in this movie, you wouldn'd know what do do. You have to respect the workmanship that went into these cars and the imagination that went into the customization of them. I happen to know from experience that a modified fuel injected V6 or 4-cylinder can outrun most carbourated V8's. To the reference about the V8's doing wheelies, it's a combination of rear-wheel drive and POWER. Please don't criticize things that you know NOTHING about!Movie Review: Excellent movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Quite surprisingly I found this to be one of the most entertaining movies of the year. While it is certainly not an oscar worthy movie, it is simply a movie that entertains. The action is amazing and seeing a movie about the world of import racing was something I've been waiting for and this movie didn't disappoint. The only problem is the misrepresentation of the true import racers. While it is true that people of various nationalities do participate in this import scene, the majority of the people are Asians. And I found it sad that they could only fit Asians in as the bad guys or as background people. Come to my town of West Covina and I guarantee you that every five minutes you will find an Asian driver, male or female, behind a customized, dropped import car. Still, I found myself enjoying this movie tremendously and the DVD has some amazing features. If you have a home theater system, the sound is awesome. Definitely a must buy for you action fans.Movie Review: 1 of the MOST original car-action movies!

Wow....you need to see this movie to beleive it! The races are incredible and ferverishly fast! All the camerawork is artistic and has an intense coolness to it. The only thing is that this movie plays rice rocketz like they're world (they are) but the Asian characters are the bad rival gang. Pshaw... Anyway, the cinematography is the best in it's genre and the acting's suprisingly fresh. But the races, just plain AMAZING! Blazing fast cars and camera work with incredible car dynamics and stunts. You will see some of the nicest, most powerful cars in this movie too. Only try to see it in surround sound (preferable DTS 6 channel) as the roars of the engines, squealing tires, everything needs to be heard (loudly) all around you for a movie like this. The only other movie that comes close in comparison is the HK (hong kong) racer flick by Andrew Lau: "The Legend of Speed" starring Ekin Cheng. Definetly check it out if you like F&F!
