Any Non Fan gonna watch it?
I've seen the original (don't remember cause I watched when it came out)
This film looks so insane that I think I'm gonna watch it.
I've end up seeing every darn one of these things one way or another. Most of them have had their moments, but the only one I like as a whole is the first. After the last couple, I thought that they were getting so absurd that any sequels would be a waste of time unless they went into space. Apparently they do, so they have my attention.
shareThe first film is still easily the best but I also like Tokyo Drift. And Fast Five is pretty good as well, though they were really starting to lean into the absurdity with that one.
shareI've only seen those once each. I loved the trailers for Fast Five and saw it on opening day, it does have a few good action scenes, but the constant banter between the characters, which I've since come to expect, was very grating to me, Tyrese's shtick in particular. It's probably fine. Tokyo Drift I saw on DVD around the same time, and it left me cold, it's just not my kind of movie; kind of the film I was afraid the first would be in many ways. I watched one of the racing scenes on YouTube recently, I will admit it was well very done.
shareTokyo Drift was the last pure street racing entry in the franchise and it has the best racing scenes. I also like Lucas Black and think he was a good, off-beat hero.
I can see how some people might be turned off by the fact that it doesn't have Vin or Paul, but that was never a big issue for me.
