That movie was badass. It really hit me hard at the beginning when tradgety struck. I was shocked. It hit me hard. But...it just added to the movie and got you into it more.
I want to say it was the best movie, but I love the first one. It's where it all begins. I also like the 2nd one a lot while others hate it.
I WILL NOT watch the 3rd one.
I disagree, these stupid Movies plant ideas in these baggy pant sideways wearing hat tools to think they are Vin Douchebag, they go racing through the parking lots trying to do that foolish Oversteer stuff in their front drivers, it wont be long for them to kill someone!
True. Some of the continuity flaws due to the editing, like the VW Beetle that they pass like four times and the Charger that loses about 8 hubcaps, those were just a combination of sloppy production. But the fact of the matter was they used ACTUAL cars on ACTUAL streets, going at FULL SPEED. Finding movies like that nowadays is an extremely rare thing, as directors and producers are addicted to computer-generated effects. I know there's a liability and risk factor involved when using actual cars, but c'mon ... isn't that what stuntmen used to be hired for in the past?
The problem with Hollywood's CGI addiction with regard to stunts and such, as well as their overall choice to prefer stylization over substance in action, is that some people (teenagers and naive adults, mainly) just don't know the difference. Computer graphics have gotten to a point where it's getting really hard sometimes to tell (visually) what is real and what's something they cooked up on a few desktop PC's. And if you're not well-versed in cars or physics or whatever, then some of the craziness they put forth might seem entirely plausible, and so stupid people will think, "Hell ... if they can do it, I'll bet I can, too!" And so there you wind up with douchebags driving WHATEVER kind of car like a total asshat in traffic, zipping in and out of lanes, revving at every stoplight and trying to emulate the Vin Diesel "tough guy" look, trying to "drift" around corners (still one of the all-time dumbest "sports" I've ever seen), and so on. People are generally stupid, that's a given, but movies like the Fast & Furious series just propagate further idiocy with misinformation.
It's kind of sad that the producers are resorting to focusing more on domestics in their series of silliness as a means of justifying the creation of yet another completely unnecessary sequel. In a way, it's kind of like they're silently admitting that the whole ricer car thing was beyond stupid to begin with, and it's like, "Okay, here's more of the same BS from the first three movies, but we're using cars people actually like, now!" That's about the same thing as when the New Kids of the Block decided to start calling themselves "NKOTB" for awhile - different image, same worthless garbage.

In the second movie they used ALOT of Character Generated(CG) stunts,
...
I wish I had the money and computer graphics skills to make a more extreme version of the F&F films.
I would rather watch far fetched auto films than sit there with my wife watching chicks diss men 100 times and fall in love with them in the same hour all the while your trying not to focus on your wife/girlfriends tears soaking your buttered popcorn. Enjoy watching He's Just Not Into You or the Notebook type remakes. Ill watch far fetched car films and be entertained.

I haven not read all these long posts, but I caught the words "far fetched" and "computer generated" and other negative remarks.
So those who have knocked Fast and Furious......do you guys like Star Wars, Transformers, X-men, and all of those lame-ass, fake-ass movies? Are there any parts in those action movies that are real?

Yeah! How DARE we not love some over-hyped BS cheeseball movie! How DARE someone criticize such awesomeness!
Hmmm ... I dunno about you, but I've never run across any wookies, Imperial droids, 50-foot-tall talking robots that transform into vehicles, or dudes with adamantium skeletons and retractable knives that can pop out of their knuckles ... although my ex-girlfriend was such a miserable bish that she could suck the lifeforce out of anyone she was near with the mutant power of her bitter attitude.
However, I HAVE encountered countless imports with hideous paintjob colors, tacky vinyl graphics galore, fart can mufflers, every accessory listed in an APC catalog, and drivers who call everyone "dawg," worship "NAWWWWSSS" like it's some divine entity, wear those golf visors upside-down and backwards (or sideways), and have wet dreams about "living life a quarter mile at a time" just like Vin Diesel.
Sci-fi and ricer movies aren't even vaguely in the same genre, so you're throwing out a totally bizarre comparison. It's kind of like saying "House" is a more realistic TV show than "Dora the Explorer."
I could go on and on about the countless things that are absurd, ridiculous, cheesy, annoying, and downright perplexing about the F&F movies, but essentially the series is an idiotic fad, plain and simple. I hope to God they get overexposed to a point where everyone finally gets tired of it and it fades into obscurity ... but, alas, as long as people keep paying money to see this garbage (even if only for a laugh), they're just going to keep churning them out.
BTW, hopping into the middle of a thread and saying "I didn't read any of the prior posts," and then proceeding to tell all the naysayers they're wrong because you picked up on a few keywords ... don't you think that comes off as sounding a little bit self-righteous and closed-minded? "I don't care what y'all have to say, here's my opinion, I'm right and you're wrong, so nyahhhh."
