Summary: the awesomest movie
Review: I think this movie rocks the house. Vin diseal rocks and paul walker does also. Get the movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movies i've seen!
Review: The Fast and the Furious is a movie about a rookie cop,(Paul Walker) who poses as an LA street racer in order to uncover who is behind a string of truck hijackings occuring in the area. Soon, he finds himself right in the middle of the fastest stret racing team in LA. As the investagation gets deeper, he finds himself caught up in whole racing scene. Theres only one problem-when his time there is up, hes not sure hes ready to go back!

The movie cast is amazing and plays their role very convincingly. As you watch the movie you feel as if you are a part of it, like you are right there. I was constantly one the edge of my seat the whole movie, and i found myself watching it again and again and again.
This movie combines the story of a group of racers growing up in the suburbs, with knowledge of cars and racing in general. THis is a movie that will quickly become one of your favorites!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A real great movie!
Review: The actors are some of the best in the business and the characters were all really well written.
You could not ask for two better leads then Paul Walker and Vin Diesel not only are they both awesome actors, they are also both really hot. This was an all around great movie, and one of my personal favorites

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For the Adrenaline Rush Only.
Review: Okay, you should know this isn't going to be Hamlet; or Chinatown or Citizen Kane or whatever. This is going to be simple adrenal kickay action about hot cars & hot chicks and that's about it! On that level, this does not disappoint.

So, you get a BS story with some lightly sketched characters in a hyper-kinetic flick (do they make any other kind anymore?); directed & edited with the expected high energy and razzle dazzle techniques; some excellent stunt work done with some super hot cars driven by young hunks and babes.

As he proved in Pitch Black, Vin Diesel is a real screen presence; and hot cars, illegal drag races, and young studs & their honeys are as American as Apple Pie and Rebel Without a Cause. Fast, simple, and dumb...it's about the jolt, man! Taken at that, s'okay.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Rather disappointed.
Review: The hype finally got to me and I rented "the fast and the furious' to see if it was any good. I got mixed reviews from all around so I figured seeing it for myself was the only way to go. And all I can say is: What a waste of a rental. The only thing I enjoyed about this movie was, of course, the cars. They were all very nice and I suppose that's where the producers spent all the money for the film because it certainly wasn't on obtaining a good script. The movie does show some promise but that falls apart when scenes are short and cut together. The plot came together too quickly and just didn't give you much. It was like "An under cover cop wastes a lot of money driving cool cars trying to find an armed thief." And as always, he gets a little too close to the enemy and he his torn between his job and his emotions and ultimately he finds a way to satisfy both.
It just left you completely empty. You lost the money for renting (or buying), you wasted your time, and the hype was false.
Two stars for the Racing Scenes and nice cars. But not really worth the buy or the viewing other than that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sweet cars, bad acting.
Review: I'm a Vin Diesel and a huge import car fan. In my opinion, the acting in this movie was well below average. The cars were beautiful though. I loved this movie and a lot of my car enthusiast friends stayed in the theatre after it was over to see it again. If you just want a fun movie and love cars, this one is for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie.......... but
Review: Okay, let's set the record straight, and give some insight on some ways that I believe this movie could have been better. For starters, was the director or whoever was in charge of dialogue in the right state of mind when they made the line "you're gonna need more than that crotch rocket". Let me just say that the Honda CBR 900RR that Johnny Tran was riding would have smothered the tar out of Dominic's ride. And though Dominic wasn't speaking to Lance, the Yamaha YZF R1 he was riding would have incinerated Dominic. I am an avid bike rider, so I KNOW these things to be true. One complaint I had was, why didn't they have the mother of all super sport bikes on the film? The Suzuki GSX-R 1000 is without a doubt the hottest bike on the market. How else can you refer to a machine that weighs a feathery 374 lbs. (dry), and can go a quarter mile in 9.74 seconds at approx. 144 mph. Given, that cars weigh a lot more than bikes and can still run at fast speeds, but my argument is that the dialogue personnel was way outta line.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertainment to the absolute max!
Review: "The Fast and the Furious" (2001)

After the disappointing Driven, in 2001 we really needed a movie with awesome cars and awesome girls to perk up our screens with the driving theme. The Fast and the Furious was not a movie I was looking forward to watching, but it surprised me with its ability to entertain me like no other car movie before it. This is a stylish, amazingly shot, witty, man's movie that set new heights for future great racing flicks.

Okay, so the movie doesn't exactly have the most amazing story. The characters aren't really 3-dimensional and most of the plot is taken from Point Break (which I have yet to see). What really made me love The Fast and the Furious is the fact that I was never bored, sighing or rolling my eyes. I was never shifting my [behind] around on the seat, never twindling my fingers on the seat in front of me, nothing like that at all. I was involved in this movie, because, however undeveloped the characters are, this is a movie proud of what it is - a movie strictly for entertainment value. It was loud, had the most awesome cars you will ever see in 2001 and had lots of cool actors that suit their characters. The Fast and the Furious made me get in the car, take a little ride and I definitely had to make sure I'd hold on.

This movie is all neat and stylie, with kinetic energy and the best races I've ever seen on-screen. I was also surprised at how well the movie was made, the editing was very tight, the cinematography stunning and surprising (nominated for an AFI this year), the colours flashy and the presentation exuberant. And to boot, the undercover cop idea was done to the best it could, considering how the director had to focus on the cars more than a brilliant story, because this movie is mostly aimed at teenagers and youngsters who love the noise and the cars. That doesn't mean to say that anybody can't enjoy The Fast and the Furious, because it is pretty hard not to like this film!

The actors, as I said before, are rough and tough and suit their characters well. Paul Walker (also seen in Joy Ride this year) was charming enough and a believable cop. Michelle Rodriguez was particularly sexy for the girls side and is taking a tough-chick perspective - she also made her debut in Girlfight. Lets see what else you can do, Michelle, because girl, you got talent. Jordana Brewster is beautiful and looks great with every movement she makes - she's not a Judi Dench, but that's definitely not what the movie is asking of her! None of the lead characters, male or female, can top Vin Diesel's classic as Dom, the deep-voiced, strong, action-man of a hero - or not? Another good thing about the movie - the characters constantly change positions, and it made them 2-D. Good enough for me, especially in a racing film!

Some corny lines sometimes overrun the furious style of the movie, but it is still a fantastic, unpredictable, masterfully constructed piece of film. I enjoyed every minute, this is a never-dull, loud, action-packed flick that's on fire with audience praise and has the most exhilarating chase sequences of the year. One of my 2001 favourites!

MY GRADE: A-

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NOS
