Summary: Fast trip to the bank?
Review: John Singleton steps in for directing duties after Rob Cohen's free-wheeling FAST AND THE FURIOUS made a sizeable dent in the summer box-office back in 2000 despite luke-warm reviews. But the question remains: Will this be yet another notch in the long string of thoughtless, cash-in sequels? Probably, since the notable lack of Cohen and Vin Diesel this time around. Sure, it'll clean up in cinemas, and who cares if whats-his-name isn't in it as long as it's got enough hot chicks, cool car chases and an ear-splitting soundtrack right? Yes, lower your expectations and it's sure to be a blast.

Summary: Mediocre sequel, although final 20 minutes aren't too bad
Review: The original FAST AND THE FURIOUS was brainless but reasonably entertaining, with a charismatic performance by Vin Diesel, a fairly interesting plot, and some very well-done action scenes. This inevitable sequel, starring Paul Walker (who played second fiddle to Diesel's character in the original) and Tyrese (as Diesel's "replacement"), hardly approaches the highs of the first film at all until the last 20 minutes or so, when 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS truly comes alive with a fun-to-watch car chase scene, some ingenuity, and some momentum. Until then, it's pretty mediocre, with a cookie-cutter plot, some wince-inducing dialogue (which tries way too hard to be "cool"), and bland car racing scenes. Thanks to Tyrese, who brings considerable energy and charisma to a badly underwritten but important role, it's still fairly watchable overall, but at least with THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS I wasn't annoyed with the dialogue and bored with the plot. Action fans can easily skip this one.

Summary: More like a Model T
Review: 2 Fast 2 Furious is a stupefying glance into Hollywood. It seems to represent a new kind of filmmaking where the bare minimum will do, revealing a real contempt for even the popcorn movie audience. The film shouldn't be expected to do much to begin with. If you ever saw the preview, you'd think it was supposed to be stupid, summer fun. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone grew up with popcorn summer movies in their lives, whether it was the 70s, 80s, 90s, whatever. But this is a new chapter, I think. The line between good video games and movies like this has been completely blurred. I found the film so inept in even the intended aims, that I sat open-mouthed, speechless, watching the film unfold in what seemed like three times its actual length. I don't know where to begin. The first film was what it was, a summer popcorn movie with fast, silly street machines racing, Vin Diesel inventing a career, and that was about it. A sequel was almost a no-brainer, indeed. First off, I'm in disbelief that this was directed by John Singleton. A promising young black director back when Boyz in the Hood appeared, he has now been completely neutralized by Hollywood. After all, why should white directors have a monopoly on crap? I can only hope Singleton was paid well for his troubles, as I believe his does have some talent. The film takes place in Miami, where the 'hero' of the original, no longer a copy, is now living a subsistence life street-racing. He gets involved with some Cuban drug barons and an old friend who wound up in jail, etc, etc. It doesn't matter. The story and plotting are so ludicrous, it doesn't matter. There isn't even an attempt at credibility, so I guess some credit is deserved. In fact, the only way to really watch a movie like this and even try to enjoy it is to completely disregard any story or plot, and just trust that the dots somehow connect, at least on paper. Speaking of Ludacris, he appears as some kind of heavily-connected gangsta thug who promotes these street races in neighborhoods the cops don't even bother patrolling. But the main draw of the film is the car chases, and the cars. And I have to say, even in this, they've pretty much failed to deliver. Yes, there are some wild street machines. And there are plenty of chases. But only a couple of stunts impress at all. There appeared to be so much trickery involving the scenes, it was disappointing and lame. The opener says it all. I don't know how they've done it, but the shots of the drivers in their cars look very fake and processed. Sure, I know the actors aren't driving, but you can tell digital fakery was involved, and if you look closely, there is a dearth of scenery from real, actual, impressive stunt driving. It looks boring, and that's the real crime. The acting is appalling on all fronts. The only person of any note or credibility is James Remar, character actor extraordinaire, always with a menacing face. He has a side role. The two main stars are so bad, the film at times resembles a reading for the film, as opposed to the film. They both look like male models saying lines, and indeed, at least one of them is. If you like video games, go and play Midnight Club Street Racing 2, or Burnout and its sequels, because they are the equivalent of watching this film. No, they're better, because you can control them, and end them when you wish. That it can't even deliver on the very simple, guilty-pleasure front it looks to be on is the real crime of 2 Fast. Not recommended, except if you're a car addict, and at least the film has a lot of extras.

Summary: mmm....not good but not too bad
Review: This is the sequel of the 2001 movie The fast and the furious, personally i think that the first movie is a lot better than the second one...but i have some valid point of view about TO FAST TO FURIOUS...or 2 Fast 2 furious...whathever
GOOD POINT:
1) Good action sequence...the only one that i enjoy is the first one...I love the sound of the car when they push the NITRO
2) The girls....very hot...i love every type of girls but i prefer the asian
3)The cars.....but not too much....im going to say why in the BAD POINT...
BAD POINT:
1) This is a car movie....then...WHY there's only one good race in the entire movie ???
2) Bad acting...the only one that I think that act well is James remar and the one that act like the bad guy, i dont remember the name..
3)BAD plot....the first movie has a lot better plot
4) there's a lot of imports hot car around the world..so why they choose only 2 mitsubishi cars like the principal one's....i dont have anything agains mitsubishi...but they could use other brands or models...maybe an EVO VII with a Impreza WRX STI....or a SUPRA with a ECLIPSE...i dont know...i think that mitsubishi paid a lot of money to the director...
that's all......this is a good movie...i can see one or two times without problems but after that..i dont want to see the movie again...

Summary: Good characters and plot...
Review: I personally liked this movie as well as the first. Granted it relied heavily on Paul Walker but I think he did a great job and Tyrese brought the humor. It worked well for them...you can tell they had a friendship chemistry because it flowed for them. I loved this movie and thought the action was there...the cars were neat and I liked the music.
In this movie Paul is no longer a cop and is involved in drag racing in order for them not to arrest him they make him a deal to help uncover a drug ring and he tells them he wants to have his own buddy work on the case with him (Tyrese) only problem is Tyrese is on house arrest and lives in a trailer so he can move his house. (Funny!) They don't really like one another because of some past business, but well work well together! Together will try and bust the drug ring and to find out if they do watch the movie! It is worth it! The racing in this movie is also great along with the cars. They are tircked out to the max! If you compare this movie to the first one it is not exactly up to the same speed. But one its own this movie holds its ground!

Summary: "2 Fast 2 Furious" Review!
Review: John Singleton, best known for urban dramas like "Boyz N The Hood" and "Poetic Justice", takes some time off to pay the bills with a commerical property, a sequel to "The Fast And The Furious", 2001's big dumb adrenaline-filled car chase movie starring Vin Diesel. Vin's out of the picture in this one and vanilla-white Paul Walker is stuck carrying the bag with a supporting cast that includes R&B singer Tyrese (who made his film debut in Singleton's last movie, "Baby Boy") and the beautiful Eva Mendez. Also involved is rapper Ludacris who helps Singleton keep up his "rapper-per-movie quota".
Walker's renegade cop Brian O'Connor is back and this time, he's paired with his estranged childhood friend (played by Tyrese) so that they can infiltrate a Miami kingpin's organization. (Don't ask me. I didn't write it.) Walker, who if not for Keanu Reeves, would probably be the least charismatic leading man in cinema history, is still able to blend in as a criminal henchman despite the fact that he looks about as menacing as the cast of "Leave It To Beaver". Tyrese, who seems to forgive and forget his estranged buddy sending him to prison in record time does a decent job overall but it doesn't do much to save this one from being a mess.
"2 Fast 2 Furious" is a dissapointing sequel to a movie that was for the most part, an overrated full-length car commercial disgusied as a movie. While the original at least had its share of entertaining moments despite its juvenile plot and cardboard characters, this sequel doesn't seem to have such luck. Singleton, who still remains one of my favorite directors despite his involvement in this atrosity, should have known better than to take on this one.
