Advantages: Good effects, good sountrack
Disadvantages: Skethy plot, average cast, characters don't have enough personality

...I have very mixed feelings towards this film and I came out of the cinema not really knowing whether I loved or hated the film. I suppose I loved the Fast and the Furious because it was action packed, unpredictable and kept me in permanent suspense. Though I hated it because there wasn't any basic storyline or plot. And I've never seen a film that has no basic storyline or plot so did I genuinely hate the film or was I just simply scared of something different to a typical film? What the Fast and the Furious really has going in its favour is that it is total non-stop action, at 1hr 40 it doesn't feel stretched or too long and director Rob Cohen seems to excel in keeping the viewers attention throughout the film. Unfortunately though the Fast and the Furious has plenty not going in its favour. Firstly nothing actually happens... Read review

Advantages: Three films with unbeliavably nice cars in
Disadvantages: The films arnt that great

...Although i enjoyed the first two films and didn't love nor hate the third. i feel this release is unnecessary. but the main reason i don't really like it is all down to the third film; The fast and the furious-Tokyo drift. if it didn't have "The fast and the furious" in the title you would have know idea its anything to do with the other two. at least they had the same character in. but this is just a completely different thing alltoghter. i thought the third was going to lead on from the second and show Brian O'Connor setting up a garage like it said in the film. but anyway ill move on. The fast and the furious- i really enjoyed this film, it was different to anything i had seen back then and the characters were good as well. the story follows Brian O'Connor played excellently by Paul Walker an undercover cop assigned...

Advantages: Cars, women, great stunts, fights and a great plot.
Disadvantages: Maybe a slighty worn out genre, but still great. The ending could be better! Though I won't go into that and spoil it!

...I've just got back from the cinema after seeing 'The Fast and the Furious.' I had seen the trailers for the film, which portrayed it as an action packed, fast cars, guns and driving movie. I was looking forward to this type of action film and I was not disappointed. This is the best film I've seen all year. It's loud, fast and there are loads of fast cars, mean machines and street racers. The film is about an undercover cop who has been sent to find out who is behind some truck hijacking. A group of Hondas had been chasing trucks, boxing them in, as one of the criminals would fire a crossbow like weapon at the window to smash it, then climbs in on another one fired into the passenger seat of the truck, wrestles the driver and the goods in the truck are theirs. The undercover cop is assigned the mission of tracking them down. He... Read review

...This movie is the follow up to fast and furious and if you enjoyed the first then you will most definatly love this as well. There are loads more races plenty of police chases and great stunts. In the first race they diside to spice it up a bit by raising the toll bridge so they have to jump over it at high speeds in the cars but only the best manage this jump.

Advantages: Fast Cars, Classic Love, Great FX, Great Stunts
Disadvantages: Acting is awkward in places, brief continuation of series characters

...Ok, so this is the third instalment of The Fast and The Furious, or is it another film just borrowing on the success of the other two films. Its a different style of racing, "drifting" its not about that 1/4 of a mile or km anymore its just about going fast and too the limit to beat each other around various raceways notably at the start a multi-storey carpark, to the mountains outside the city. The Cars: The cars range from modded VW's to Vipers, and Hyundai sports. In the start and ending of the film you get some reference to the previous two films which attempt to add some continuity to the storyline, but apart from those references this is all new. Thrown out is the muscle cars of old and the nitrous fueled speedsters, in come new sporty small cars in an urban sprawl, where its not about teh sheer speed but the control... Read review

Advantages: cool car races
Disadvantages: to similar to gone in 60 seconds

...'t trusting of him. At the end of the day however Brian goes through with the job he must do it fast and he must do it furious. The cast is a force to be reckoned with- Dom is just a house, that is the best way to describe him. A very good actor and suits the role of ‘Dom’ in this film. Top performance by him. There are a few foxy females in there too, one that’s stands out is Dom’s sister- Mia Toretto. She gets some good stuff to play with and comes through with a good performance even though her role is secondary to the real plot. Dom’s girlfriend is a mean looking women to. A good performance by the cast. The first real car race will make your hair stand on end with its sheer visceral thrills. At one point a car utilizes nitro gas to gain speed. When the button is hit the camera goes flying through... Read review

Advantages: True to scale, very detailed, fun to drive
Disadvantages: Tires sometimes difficult to install, no front "crash bumper"

...in that it isn't blindingly fast and has no proportional speed or steering. Turns are either full left or full right and throttle or forward/reverse motion is either OFF or FULL POWER. The drifting tires come with an included wheel wrench that is necessary to remove and install the tires. It is easy to remove the tires with the wrench but difficult to turn the hubcaps to the locked position. I actually damaged one of my wheels' locking tabs by applying too much force when locking the hubcap/wheel on. I wish Nikko had made this feature easier.... Read review

Advantages: paul walker
Disadvantages: n.a

...What more can I say Paul Walker, not only is he great looking but I think he is a great actor, too add to that you also have Vin Diesel. The film has great special effects and not that I am a huge car fan but the cars are great too. Dom played by Vin Diesel and his gang all have great cars and at night they like to show them off and race against others, when one night Brian played by Paul Walker wants to race, he does not have the money to, but offers his car if he loses. Brian looks like he is going to win, but at the last minute is beaten by Dom. Brian saves Dom from the cops so Dom takes Brian into his gang, which no one is happy with apart from his sister, who has a soft spot for Brian. A few lorries carrying have been knocked by a gang driving fast cars. The FBI suspects that the robbers are involved in the street... Read review
