this movie doesnt deserve 5.7 It deserves atleast 7-8.


this movie doesnt deserve 5.7 It deserves atleast 7-8. This movie is really great.I'm 22 years old and all my friends and ı love this movie.

reply

i agree, it should be higher, its as if most people voted based on the fact that the original main cast wasn't in it instead of appreciating the actual plot.

Who cares about who's acting in it? If it's bad, it's bad. I rated both movies 1/10. Abuse of clichés, abuse of stereotypes. They are trying too hard to appeal to a certain 15 year old teenager. This is not art, this is just crap. It's a real shame this even has 5 stars. 5 stars should only be the rating to decent movies, and this is not even close to be one. Mainstream *beep*

reply

You're wrong my friend. This is not mainstream *beep* This is worse than that. These testosterone filled putrid abominations should be banned from existence.
The ONLY good thing to come out of them (or well, one of them at least. I don't know if she's on the sequels) is Vin Diesels character sister.
Man, what a nice piece of a55-
Other than that I agree, these... "movies" are made for retards and/or teens who think cars and speed are cool.
By the way, look at that punk ass guy who starred in these. Got himself killed and judging by the state of his car he thought he was in one of these "movies" probably...

What's wrong with sports cars?

Since when a RAPIST (Yeah, he was a rapist.) is considered a "good man"?


Rapist? What the *beep* are you even talking about? You sound like a 15 year old kid to me. Way to go.

reply

There's nothing inherently wrong in them I guess. Just like there's nothing wrong with having a tiny pecker and the need to compensate it by speeding and watching these "movies".

All I can read from that is RUMORS and ASSUMPTIONS, "might have been", "could have been", etc. Yet you try to label it as a fact. Do you know the difference between a fact and a rumor? You fail.

reply

Yeah, he started dating her when he was 32 and she was 16.
So FACT is that he was dating and having sex with a minor.
Even if it's concentual it's still rape.
ASSUMPTION is that he was a rapist pedophile.

Strong words from a guy who likes Godzilla '98 and Movie 43. And how on Earth can you say such a thing about a person? All because he starred in some movies you hate? Pathetic, just pathetic.

Yeah. Let's see. Cause you know? That's what I live for. To be liked in the Godzilla forums.
Why don't you just go and rate more movies like 300 and Captain America with a 9 or 10? You seem to be good at it.
You must be one of the dumbest persons I've ever met. Really. Not only are you a hardcore fanboy but you actually go out of your way to pick a cyber-fight with me.

Do you not realize Paul Walker was NOT the one who was driving that day?

Doesn't matter. He could've said "stop it" and let that be the end of it.
He probably was tripping his balls off from excitement while at it so yeah... I don't feel for the guy.

There should be ads advertising what could be your fate if you do things like this.
There are kids who looked up to him you know? That might try to emulate what he did.
Are you OK with that? Do you think he was a role model and that he should be emulated by kids who don't know any better?

You mean like Pleasantville and Flags of Our Fathers? The latter of which was directed by Clint Eastwood. But that's besides the point, I couldn't care that much if you disliked Walker's films, but the fact that you express pleasure in his untimely passing is disgusting and despicable. Walker was a good man, had a family, and was very good to his fans.

And whoever drives fast cars or anything like that, disregarding the safety of people around him not only deserves to die but his/her death must be a brutal one.

He was not driving the vehicle and what happened was an accident, which could have happened to anyone else, no matter how many rules they followed on the road.

He's not even in Pleasantville dude. He's like the extra for the extras... The fact that an actor makes some sort of an unintentional glorified cameo doesn't mean he/she is a part of the whole film.
Besides, it's not like the movie is any kind of masterpiece.
And regarding Flags of our Fathers... Meh, I guess that movie is better overall. But still, it's not like he's the "star" on them..
And he was a good man? A "family man"? Since when a RAPIST (Yeah, he was a rapist.) is considered a "good man"?
Being a rapist is despicable and disgusting. Having a child with a minor is REPULSIVE. His whole life was an aberration. I'm glad he's dead. Yeah. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm friggin glad he's dead.
And his "fans" can go suck a fat one. Being a fan of a rapist/speed racer daredevil should be actually BANNED and punishable by law.
It comes as no surprise that you're probably one of them.

He was not driving the vehicle and what happened was an accident, which could have happened to anyone else, no matter how many rules they followed on the road.

Yes, it was an "accident". An accident caused by recklessly driving a race car in a non-regulated road(It doesn't matter if he was the driver or not. Have you heard of being an accessory?). And it could only happen to people that, like him, get involved in reckless situations which are AGAINST THE LAW.
Stop trying to defend a sorry excuse for a human being like this guy was.
Now if you excuse. I have nothing else to talk with you or your friend.
You're welcomed to keep trying to bait me though.
Keep being a fan of disgusting people dude.
Oh, and the F&F movies are beyond terrible, so you should really think twice before criticizing Movie 43 or any other movie for that matter...

reply

Would you've said the same thing if it happened to your family?

reply

Just to wrap it up with you as well:

If a member of my family suddenly becomes a rapist who enjoys speeding in public roads then yeah. I would be glad if he/she got killed. Heck! I would be the one cutting their break lines or some sh!t.
Now go back to "exposing me" dude.
Did you think that your half-assed thread would mean ANYTHING to me? Was I supposed to get scared or something?
I'm done with you. Good luck my friend.

I'm not asking about the rape thing. Would you've said the same thing about your family if he/she died in a same way how Paul Walker died?

reply

I think you're watching the wrong type of film. Clearly this type of action movie is not for you. If I were you I wouldn't watch any more of this franchised set. I agree with those who say that this movie is greatly under-rated. To my mind it's the best of the set, no matter who's in it and who isn't.

reply

@docp: Agreed mate! Just hate it when somebody comes around and says " i hated the first one but i hated this one even more".. i mean..come on.. you must have way too much time on your hands if you are following a series that you "never" liked in the first place.. so just a get a life!

For me the ratings of the series sit like this:

F&F 1 = 7.5 (it set a decent ground for the genre..and the characters were great)
F&F 2 = 5.5 (was way too comical for me)
F&F 3 = 7 (was pretty good even though it dint have the original cast.. good cars, good racing, good soundtrack and felt like a fresh breeze for the series.. have watched it multiple times)
F&F 4 = 6 (wasnt great on any level.. still liked a couple of scenes.. but just a one time watch)
F&F 5 = 8 (was very good on many levels.. the new characters, story, action sequences, etc)
F&F 6 = 8 (same as 5.. pretty good)

The series kinda rebooted with Fast 5 and its getting stronger.. cant wait for the next one with Jason Statham.
Its unfortunate that Paul Walker died though..RIP.

reply

People who rate movies 1/10 should JUST NOT watch the damn movie in the first place! Didnt you see the damn trailer before you saw the movie? Or didnt you know what the whole series is about?? IMDB rating system has got corrupted because of people like this. When you rate a movie on a scale, its a measurement of different factors.. its not just to show your hate for the genre.. just go watch something else!

P.S: Sorry if i sounded a bit aggressive, but am just pissed off at what's become of the IMDB rating system.

reply

Very few movies deserve a 1/10, or a 10/10. That's what screws up the ratings. Congratulations on all the the 1 for 10's, you really make such a statement to the world.

reply

I gave it a 6.
It was a 4 on my first viewing but seeing it again and it's not that bad. Just different. The teen angle with the Japanese twist might not be as accessible as the regular entries in the series.

reply

The movie ain't bad. I actually love the cars in this one. They are pretty hot. But I think a lot of people felt the way I did. When you slap Fast & Furious on the film they expect to see at least Paul Walker. I think a lot of people were disappointed that the original crew was not in the film. As a stand alone film its okay. It certainly delivers on the car tip. But I think a lot of people wanted the old gang back.

reply

The movie itself isn't bad but fans were wondering why a lot of the original castmembers were absent in the film since that was why people love the series since Dominic and Brian are the ones that people want to see.

reply

I think over time it's rating will go up to what it deserves which is a 7 due to it being part of a longer series.

As the series ages with 789, people will look back on Tokyo Drift as a focus on Han's story, similar to FF2 which focused on Brian.

I also think there will a film focusing on Dwayne Johnson and Torretto's ex.

reply

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see him in the next on... Oops... I guess you won't :D

I honestly gave it a 9. For me, after '2 Fast...' this was a much needed shot in the arm. Plus its one of the few movies where I bought both the score and the soundtrack.

reply

Are you guys serious? This is the worst F&F of them all. It's not really about the old cast. It's about bad acting, *beep* characters and a pathetic story. And it's right down there with 2 Fast 2 Furious.

reply

[deleted]

Couldn't agree more. 2 Fast 2 Furious was better in every way because, well, it didn't take itself seriously, and was stupid fun! This, the acting was so bad that nails in my eyes would feel much better than watching Lucas Black act. The only reason why the THOUGHT of this movie exists is because of Han, and SPOILERS AHEAD (for those who have yet to see this film or Fast & Furious 6) when he died, the movie was unbearable. Kind of like the new Ghost Rider; when Idris Elba's Moreau died, the movie was pure *beep* when his character was alive, it was bearable.

Poor writing, acting and casting don't do the directing justice. I'm just glad they tied in Tokyo Drift in a good way, instead of making it complete pretentious *beep* I just pray to God Lucas Black doesn't come back for 7, and that Rihanna isn't casted as well

reply

A 5 is meant to be an average film. Tokyo Drift was very average and forgettable.

reply

A 5 is meant to be an average film.


for some people it might be but for me a 5/10 is below average and a 6/10 is average (but ultimately a Thumbs Down). a 7/10 is my minimum score for a Thumbs Up on my scale.

because you can look at it like this...

7/10 or higher = everyone considers this a Thumbs Up.
6/10 = some consider this a Thumbs Down (including myself) and some consider it a Thumbs Up.
5/10 or lower = everyone considers this a Thumbs Down.

my scale is pretty much like this...

9's and 10's = i only given these out to around 80 films out of the 1600+ total movies i have seen. so as you can see i don't hand these out much.
8/10 = pretty much my minimum score for something to be memorable. it's not easy for movies to achieve this rating for me but it's not super hard to get either.
7/10 = my minimum score for a Thumbs Up. anything that lands here or higher i can and often do re-watch. (this is where the Fast & Furious series lands (all of the films i gave a 7/10 although i think Tokyo Drift might be closer to a 6.5))
6/10 = Average. but ultimately a Thumbs Down.
5/10 = Below Average. it can be borderline failure at times.
4/10 or less = Failure (most films that land here i find to be boring and boring is pretty much the worst crime a film can commit)

for measure... most movies i watch land on either a 6/10 or 7/10.

also, i tend to see IMDb's average ratings like this...

5.x/10 or less = generally negative opinions
6.x/10 range = mixed opinions
7.x/10 or higher = generally positive opinions

although... i would say around mid 7's and higher is when something really starts to get mostly praise.

Tokyo Drift was very average and forgettable.


i still liked the movie overall (although it's on the weak side of a Thumbs Up and the worst of the series overall) which is a bit surprising considering it lacks the core guys which are Diesel/Walker as those two are the heart of the series.

at worst... it's the high side of average.
at best... slightly above average.

bottom line... it's a movie i can watch more than once and that's what ultimately makes or breaks a movie in the long term as if i won't care to see a film more than once it's not getting more than a 6/10 from me. i give Tokyo Drift a 6.5-7/10 (probably closer to a 6.5) so it's a weak thumbs up.

Well for me the soundtrack was worth 9! Because by the time Tokyo Drift hits the movie, I was having a 2 days long trip and the song really keeps me 'alive'!
And I think, it was also because by the time, the Need for Speed game is hitting hard and make this movie a hot-hot. The story isn't superb, the race is yeah, cool, but in the end, it's Japan and always worth an 8..at least.
