Summary: Not nearly fast and not furious at all.
Review: Let it be known that I am not a car buff and I know nothing about hot rods, engines, or anything like that. If there were many inaccuracies in the film pertaining to realism in performance and speed, then I didn't notice them. And it's just a movie, so you shouldn't either.
When the movie was released in theaters, it looked like a jam-packed film full of fast action, insane stunts, and awesome cars. That's only slightly true.
This movie is empty! Devoid of action, but in-depth with story (that went a little TOO in-depth for a movie like this. . .it belonged in a not-so-actiony flick).
Let's see: The opening sequence has a 3-minute chase. Then we have a race or two on the streets that is nothing but fast driving. This takes us to the 25-minute mark of the movie. Now watch your DVD's counter; about a full hour passes before we see another major car chase/action piece, and that is the grand home run stretch of the movie - the last 20 minutes. The last 20 minutes should have/would have some great action regardless of whether the rest of the film was packed with action already. A real letdown in that department - it was a big summer movie that screamed "LEAVE YOUR BRAIN AT THE DOOR AND HAVE FUN!" It seemed like the story was paid more attention to, but I wasn't expecting that to happen. It was "OK". No more than that.

Summary: Vin Diesel rocks this show
Review: Nothing says the Big Show like Vin Diesel blasting down the highway over a 100 mph. I enjoyed watching Vin (Dom, character he plays) race in the coolest cars you ever want to see. Dom was a fighter until the end. He got busted up but it was worth the fast pounding action and roar of the engines. I only took off one star because Paul Walker kept getting in the way.Watch this movie for a speedracing rush and a quick shot of Vin on high Diesel.

Summary: FAST AND THE FURIOUS!
Review: Just like the name says, it is a fast paced movie with some furious driving and acting. The main reason that I like the movie is it aint like most action movies like XXX, it actually has a solid storyline and acting behind it. Vin Diesel (playing as Dominic Toretto) makes his action-packed debut in this awesome movie. He is the best racer out there, well he has this rival named Johnny Tran. Both of them are very good, but nobody really knows which one is better. Well they were out to find out who is the best as both of them are think they are the greatest at what they do. Also, Paul Walker plays the part of the new guy in town who thinks he is just as good as Vin Diesel and Johnny Tran. And he is sure that he is going to prove it in just a matter of time. But what's this guy's secret? Your going to have to watch the movie to find out! He was great accompiant for the flick. These guys live for speed, racing in these amazing cars. Also, the races take place in the greatest city in the world- Los Angelas. Basically if you are a fan of racing-action-high speed movies this one may wind up being your favorite. It is definately my favorite of this genre. There are many high paced, dangerous stunts performed in this movie. Can you handle something going at this speed? Go out, pick up this movie, and find out today! Additionally, one more thing, JA RULE is in this movie for ya'll who don't know! That is another plus for a reason to pick this up. I'm outta hear, aiight? Take care. HOLLA!

Summary: the teenager's point of view !!!
Review: I (not the typical teenager) hated this movie - its true it has some good points but the majority of it was either unrealistic or just pointless. when i saw this movie in the theater i saw nothing but people with little rice burners think that its cool because it had their import car scene with some hot girls. this is a complete load of ****. and from a standpoint of realism there is no way a little toyota supra can keep up with a blown 1970 Charger (yes it was a 1970 becuase i guess im the only one who knows my cars) unrealistic again was the race scene near the beginning - that never happens here in LA. the only good thing i can think of this movie is the cars - but to compare them the way they did is horrible - i feel that a better theme would have been domestic muscle cars against the thriving import cars - the way it is in real life ---- to compare the two would prove the muscle cars would be dominant... (my POV is bias becuase i own a 1968 dodge charger) but... i havent been beeten by a honda yet :)

Summary: Fast cars, good stuff!
Review: Regardless of the bashing from previous reviews this movie is actually quite good. Granted the plot could have been better, but for car lovers like myself I really enjoyed it. It may only be for the select few amongst the crowds but I for one like racing of all types and tuned-up cars, somewhat skimpy women and action scenes is more than enough entertainment for me. Yeah, I guess that is shallow but hey I like easy-going movies. As for teaching people to drive insane and kill people in the streets...anyone who would actually do that is dumber than words can say. If your dumb, nothing is going to change that so don't buy this movie if that is what you expect yourself to do afterwards. Second of all anyone in their right mind would realize that the action is done with professionals, and also in the end they suffered consequences for their "evil"(as Ian put it) actions. No one should go out and deal in thievery, drugs, or participate in illegal street racing, it is very dangerous and WILL just land you in jail or the morgue. I give the movie 2 thumbs up for well tweaked cars.

Summary: A Great Dumb Movie.
Review: Hollywood produces movies that are dumb, and it also produces movies that are so outrageously silly that you can't help but like them, if only for a guilty pleasure. "The Fast and the Furious," the quintissential guy's flick, falls into the latter category. In this meat-and-potatoes action film, the plot is inconsequential; the acting is wooden, and the stiff dialogue leaves no stone unturned in the cliche department. Yet, the film is watchable mainly due to the amped-up racing scenes and the onscreen charisma of Vin Diesel, who easily eclipses the blank Paul Walker (who, strangely enough, gets top billing in this film). To be sure, the beefed-up baldy Diesel is no actor by any stretch of the imagination, but his MetRx-enhanced frame and smoky barritone command virtually every scene he's in. (This will work for a movie as vapid as this, but if he's not careful, he'll go the way of Jean Claude Van Damme if he doesn't prove himself as an actor.) But this isn't a film for everyone. If you approach "The Fast and the Furious" on an intellectual level, then you'll think it's the worst movie ever made. But if you can put your brain in "park" (the way most 14/15-year-olds seem to do when then watch films like this) and appreciate a great dumb movie, then this playfully trashy flick will pass your time nicely.

Summary: A movie of hilariously BAD dialogue.
Review: And bad plot, and bad acting on both the main character's part. I really enjoyed the movie because of the stupid college-boy dialogue which really helped show that car movies aren't entertaining past car scenes. The car scenes were great, of course we all love seeing suped-up rice rockets and Supras, all being driven by macho testosterone-pumped pigs.
Vin Diesel plays a bonehead who knows how to drive stick like a man, and Paul Walker plays a pansy who can't. Really I don't see how Paul Walker was supposed to be a break-out hit, given the casting of Walker and the weak dialogue...It is a rather important movie if you are a fan of action/driving films and want to be informed of the lowering quality of movies of that genre.

Summary: Hot boys, hot imports, what more could a girl ask for?
Review: Let's be honest. A movie with Vin Deisel & Paul Walker? It drums up reactions of Ben Affleck & Josh Hartnett (Pearl Harbor), James Van Der Beek and Scott Caan (Varsity Blues). I happen to feel as though they were all great performances, but beauty sometimes out ways credibility. Regardless of how hot the stars in this movie were, they proved that they could pull off a pretty good flick. It did have it's cheese factors (Paul Walker spining the Supra to a hault, firing two shots and taking care of the bad guy) but the cheese was far out weighed by the non stop action. The cars in itself would be reason enough to watch it! Yet again I go back to hot boys and hot cars. This film definately has it's target market.

Summary: Pretty good video for being the first
Review: they did a good job but they have some things that just are not right. two nitrous systems on one car, double clutching what are these guys driving semis or something.
i like the action scenes and they got some nice cars but man do they have some "ricey" cars. i think that the movie was good for being the first one out on this subject.
i think its a great movie for the winter time when we cant go out and race!
well just see how many stupid ppl come out and see the second one because all of a sudden to many dumb ppl have been coming out with there neon kits and thinking there cars are fast!

Summary: Speed.....
Review: The words "speed, strength and danger" are the ones which characterise this movie!! It is fast, illegal and makes adrenaline reach its peak... A movie that should not be missing from a car fan. The fact that they gathered so many people to take part in the movie because of their tuned-up cars is something that makes it even more interesting for a car fan and even more tempting for someone to see what the special effects in collaboration with the "tough guys" can do... A very good movie undoubtedly!!
