Summary: For car lovers only...
Review: Ok, it's not Oscar material, but neither was the first one. In fact, in almost every way, this film is superior to the original 1974 movie of the same name. The cars are hotter, the story is a little more solid, if not having a thin plot, and the acting is certainly better thanks to the talents of Nick Cage, Angelina ... Jolie, and Delroy Lindo. The only disappointment is the shorter car chase at the end. I was really hoping for another 40 minute car chase with updated cinematography and special effects. But alas, no, although the car certainly had more gusto then the original and it was certainly just as fun to watch. It's also a blast for every car enthusiast to see all the various exotic and rare four wheeled beauties this movie shows off. Everything from a Luxury SUV Yukon (seems kind of strange to me though) to a Daytona Charger (banned from Nascar in the 70's because it was too fast) to the star of the movie, Eleanor. That's right, this movie may have Cage, Lindo and Jolie pulling off decent performances with a meager script, but just like in the '74 original movie, the hopped up GT 500 Mustang with outside pipes and a paint job with attitude steals every scene she's in...I mean it, that it's in. Cage tries to work with this lovely lady in the scenes he shares with her...I mean it...but he can't keep up. If you like cars, and I'm not talking to just guys, I know there are plenty of women out there who look at cars and drool as well even if they don't know who makes it, then this movie is good for pure entertainment purposes. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Gone in 60 seconds
Review: THE STORY --- Randall "Memphis" Raines(nicolas cage)lives a quiet life. He was the best car thief in a long time but nowhe's retired.... Until his brother Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) iscaptured by a big criminal who needs 50 cars (stolen) in 3 days. SoRandall "Memphis" Raines has 2 choises, the first is justlet his brother been killed or to steal the 50 cars and save hisbrother. Well he goes for the 2nd option. He gathers the old carstealing team and go steal the cars. But there is only one way to dothis, boost the cars in 1 night. THE DVD --- The dvd is great ihave no comments about it. If you want the best version of the movieon dvd buy the region1. The menu of region1 looks far more better thenthe region2 version. CONCLUSION --- This is a great dvd for the carlover. In this movie you see the newest cars been stolen. There is onescene that bothered me from the movie. You see Randall"Memphis" jumping over a lot of cars what looks reallyfake. But the rest of the movie was great so i still bought it.

Summary: Smash hit,car boosting fun.
Review: My opinion on Gone in 60 Seconds is simply this.Gone In 60 Seconds might have been a really terrible remake to some of u people out there,but truth is,this movie is really great.So what if there's not enough car chases.The movie keeps on the plot and describes the characters really good.Just because there was a 40 minute chase sceen in the original G60S,doesn't mean its any better.Jerry Bruckheimeer did an outstanding job with this movie,and I give this movie my rating.I recommend this movie to everyone out there.

Summary: Not exactly Academy Award material...However...
Review: While not exactly Academy Award material, Gone In 60 Seconds should at least receive the auto-show club award of the year for best presentation and showcase of some mighty fine actors; the vast array of awesome and powerful sporty muscle and exotic cars ! With her gorgeous streamlined curves and a front and rear end that just wouldn't quit, best actress award should go to "Eleanor" (O.K., so Angelina Jolie is not so bad herself in her tom-boy,scruffy blonde image). Eleanor as the '67 Shelby Mustang GT 500 turned in an outstanding and powerfully-driven performance. O.K., enough of the auto puns and cliches. However, speaking of puns and cliches, the one scene where they could have done without was the scene with Cage and Jolie waiting to steal one of the cars where Jolie and Cage start making sexual references about male and female genitalia and the sex act in relation to car parts during a semi-heated romantic scene. Other than this contrived scene, performances by Duvall and other actors were above average to convincible as car thieves. As a multitude of other critics have already pointed out the film is not food for deep thought,or any other kind of thought except sheer fun, adventure, excitement, entertainment, and CARS !All say one thing--ADRENALINE ! Gone in 60 Seconds is truly the stuff action packed films with a so-so story line are made up of. Nothing pretentious or stuffy.Just casual fun...Take it at face value it it is truly a fun film (visual and audio-wise as well)...One last comment;For some odd reason I kept on expecting or thinking that Billy Bob Thornton would have also been good for one of the roles in this film or a quick cameo as a mechanic (maybe it's the Angelina Jolie connection or somethin').Hmmm...

Review: Wow your standared Jerry Bruckheimer film, a plot that has more holes than....wait I'm thinking...anyway the plot sucks. But Bruckheimer films are always fun more than anything else. The DVD has good special features and good sound and visuals as well. The actors are good and the movie is pretty funny. Plus it has Nicolas Cage which makes it a must see. Pretty much your typical "guy" movie, a hot chick, cool hero, fast cars and lots of action. Buy if your a guy, otherwise a definite rent.

Summary: I am going to buy a muscle car!
Review: This is not a movie to be reviewed, this is a movie to be enjoyed. Titanic won a bunch of awards and I thought that movie was a piece of crap. Gone in 60 Seconds had me yelling at the ceiling and shopping for a muscle car. Excellent in Dolby Surround, I turned it up and the engine noise took me away. Awsome car chase scenes, beautiful cars. I was pumped after seeing this movie and if you like cars and action you will be to.

Summary: Mindless Entertainment designed to cash in on a classic.
Review: The original GI6S concerned car theft and had a load of great car chase sequences. This supposed remake spends most of its time forcing you to stare at a bunch of sleepwalking actors moping around. Angelina Jolie is only it it for eye-candy purposes. Nick Cage continues to play some sort of cinematic zombie role. I guess he's trying to weep his way into another academy award. It is also amazing that Memphis has such an uncanny ability to get people to take up lives of crime by means of his charisma. Lord help us if he runs for president. Maybe then we would have an entire nation of car thieves rather than the current one of apologists for an chronically lying adulterer. On second thought that might be an improvement. Memphis for President! At least he didn't do it "for the children", just his brother. So, where's the beef? From the rushes I expected most of the viewing time to be spent watching neat car chases. Instead we get a bunch of film zombies trying to juice a totally perfunctory and lackluster plot, with darned few car chases to boot. This flick is an abomination when compared to the original. That being said, the flick is still entertaining as a mindless summer flick. Angelina Jolie is still most definitely eye-candy and there are some interesting chase scenes, although too much FX are inserted to cover up the lousy chase choreography. I guess that the director thought that zooming camera angles and streams of short views strung together would create more excitement to what are actually quite pedestrian action scenes.
