Thought I might finally give this franchise a shot but right from the get-go we're thrown into a cliché romance, cheesy acting and all in all a terrible script, plot and execution. May be okay if you like cars, but I don't like cars.

I've been trashing The Fast and the Furious franchise for years without ever having seen one, so I watched the first one to see if I needed to be slapped for that. Well, I got slapped alright, but my opinion remains unchanged. Actually, if anything, I've gone even more negative. Based on the franchise's success, there are a lot of fans of macho posturing, car fetishism, expressionless actors, and brazen product placement than I ever wanted to imagine. And I know my action standards are quite high after some 5 years of weekly Hong Kong cinema, but holy crap, I haven't been this aggressively bored by an action film since, I dunno, Bad Boys 2?No real race choreography, an incompetent plot that's at once too ridiculous and not ridiculous enough, sound that's too loud when cars an involved and too low when dialog is, and absolutely no one to care about. Just awful. I've been told it gets good around the 5th or 6th movie. You do see what the problem with that is, right?

Moral of the story: If you have a shaggable sister you can get away with anything. Utterly ridiculous.

It came on TV, I turned the volume down and looked up at it from my laptop every once in a while and I think that qualifies as watching it

"Race wars"... Not sure if this is meant as an insult to the film's audience, or if it's an expression of its inherent idiocy.

Terrible script, bad directing, unnecessarily bad CGI, too much noise all the time and really terrible acting. I never been so bored in an action movie before.

Hands down the best popcorn movie I've ever seen. Growing up a major fan of the Need For Speed video games this movie is practically all of it just transferred to the big screen. It's big, dumb, and loud but if you are taking it seriously then I think you missed the point. Buckle your seatbelt, crank the nitrous oxide, and have a blast.
