fast five (The Fast and the Furious_5)

[hairlesswookiee]

I think the watching order is 1,2,4,5,3

2 Fast 2 Furious is probably the worst of the series IMO. We could've done without Tyrese and Ludacris from that movie.

I really enjoy these movie. 2 was by far the worst. I actually liked 3 because I am a fan of drifting. 5 looks badass already just because of the Rock.

 

[mfoga]

Wow another one? I was also confused about some of people being alive. I will watch it(once it hits hbo), they are entertaining. Now if they guarantee more screen time for Jordana I would maybe see it in theater.

the cars were the best in 2 though

Saw this today. It was pretty good. Probably the best of the series. Great action sequences. I have some nitpicks about the story and character motivations, but they're not big.

btw, don't leave when the credits start rolling.

michelle rodriguez!!

I saw this yesterday. I must say we need a HT figure of the Rock now. Total Bad @$$ in the film.

 

[eighthsamurai]

so the rock is actually good in this? good to know. finally... the rock has come back to non-disney non-PG action movies.

 

[NASEDO]

I may go and see this, I'm surprised its getting good reviews.

 

[Buttmunch]

I thought so at least. Between this and Driven, he is definatley back as the Bad @$$ we know and love. I'd take a figure of him from either film. Heck, I'd settle for him to be in HT's M Icon line as himself at this point.

And the Rock is freaking HUGE in this. Makes Vin Diesel look tiny.

 

[plasmid303]

The Rock is pretty great in this, but I thought his character was underwritten.

Spoiler:

2/3 into the film he has a turn of heart and sides with Dom and gang. It's not that I couldn't believe his motivation to do so, but because the character isn't given enough screen time, I didn't agree that he would turn sides so quickly or outright execute the film's big bad.

His fight scene with Vin was awesome though. It was what I was most looking forward to seeing in this film. Man, I hope they get more work soon. We need more action stars like them and not Taylor Lautner and Liam Neeson (Neeson's great, but come on.).

 

[CelticPredator]

Liam is one of the best action starts working today.....what are you talking about??

i noticed that in the trailer actually i'd say the ONLY thing vin ever really had going for him was his size and badassery, but even in the trailer, dwayne made him look a bit fat, old and dumb.

His fight scene with Vin was awesome though. It was what I was most looking forward to seeing in this film.

cool. i'm imagining something along the lines of roddy piper and keith david in they live

the best role i think the rock has had recently was his cameo in the other guys. perfect use of his comedy and toughness. i thought a prequel to that, with him and samuel l. acting like the idiots they did would have been hilarious.

Spoiler:

Vin Diesel still won the fight scene though which is my biggest complaint about the whole movie. I wanted to see the Rock pwn Diesel

He makes a convincing action hero, but he's not an action star (Granted, I've only seen him in Taken.). I'd rather not have Hollywood re-purpose aging dramatic actors or teens from romantic comedies for action films.

 

[jonny88]

l would rather watch Vin in the "Pacifier" then the last 2 stupid Fast and Furious movies.

I've really hated this series - don't think I even saw the last 2 and I see everything. But I really enjoyed this film. The dialogue is cheesy and the plot is not particularly believable - but it's a great romp. And the audience I saw it with LOVED it - they obviously recognized all the characters as the popped up and they really got into the action sequences. And I'd agree, we need to see Dwayne doing more roles like this and less Tooth Fairy.

 

[Razor Hanzo]

I saw it last night and enjoyed it even though I'm not really a fan of the series. Vin must have been wearing lifts in his shoes because there is no way he's the same height as Dwayne Johnson.

The only thing I didn't like was the crowd that was there watching it; pure bottom-feeders.
