Summary: Car chase movie for 10 year boys
Review: A movie clearly made by people who have never driven in a real race, this movie was made so 10 year old boys could watch it and go "cool!" before they go back to sitting in front of the TV and getting fat. I have met a few adults who liked it but mostly they belong to the can't-get-a-date-live-with-mommy-when-they-are-40 crowd.

Sadly Vin Disiel is a good actor, just one who would rather make money than movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Action Flick
Review: Call this one a guilty pleasure if you must but "The Fast and the Furious" is one of the funnest movies to come out in past years. Explaining the plot to this film is almost meaningless because this film is simply not about plot. It's all about the visuals here. From the sexy girls to fast cars, from the muscular men to the great racing scenes and big explosions, this one is a viusal feast. It's the only movie in the past year that I saw twice at the theater and that is simply because the visuals do not get old. I mean, it was even nominated for an AFI award for Best Cinematography.

This is the perfect movie for a kick-back, no-thinking Friday night. It's definitely a "Boys Night Out" movie though, even though I do some girls who enjoy it. The acting is credible (although all they really need to do is look beautiful), the story movies along and the cinematography is excellent. Highly recommended, just don't be expecting an Oscar-winner.

NOTE: The DVD is excellent too, containing a lot pf really interesting features. I found the article the most interesting of these as the rest seem to be just things left on the editing room floor.

Summary: Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Review: What the hell is going on? People actually think this is a great movie? Why go to all that trouble to steal a bunch of DVD players? Hey Vin, I know you're not the smartest but here's a tip - deal drugs, there's more money in it. An utterly shallow and ridiculous movie that is based entirely on Vin Diesel being attractive to the opposite sex. And maybe gay guys too but I haven't asked. Not that he is required to 'act' at all. That would get in the way of him looking moody and mumbling a lot.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this movie was very bad. yes, bad. as in not good.
Review: it disturbs me to see how many people actually rated this movie highly. the acting [was terrible], the plot was a rip-off, and all the cars looked like cheap, brightly painted wind-up toys. plus, they cheated by using some chemical with a stupid name in their cars, so you can't even call what was going on in this movie "racing." after thirty minutes of hearing the main character's bad imitation of keanu reeves, i wanted to punch the guy in the face. watch "point break" instead. watch anything instead.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Hmm, the hotties made the movie.
Review: The only part of this movie I enjoyed was the fact that Vin Disel was the "bad guy", oh but soooo good at it. The special effects were very unrealistic and and there were technicalities that could have been cleaned up, but the fast that there were some sweet cars, and Paul Walker and Vin Disel are absolutly gorgous!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: B-movie rates a C+
Review: One of the hallmarks of a true B-movie is the camera work. When there's more loving detail placed on the race scenes (or the surfing scenes or the fight scenes--whatever!) than on the actors themselves, you know where the director's (and the cinematographer's) priorities lay.

One of the most amazing things about "The Fast and the Furious," is that it takes a cast of relatively attractive young people and makes them look singularly unappealing. Glam shots do not exactly abound here. Which may be a plus in the final analysis. On some level these fairly seedy characters are not actually glamorized. One could argue that's a good thing.

The plot itself does sort of lionize the outlaws, though--not so unexpectedly. We've seen the whole undercover cop developing sympathy for the bad guys routine before. Usually, though, they're supposed to snap out of it. I guess it's harder though when you're in love with the gang leader's sister. But let's not divulge much more of the not-too-substantial plot.

Vin Diesel could be a compelling screen presence and has been in the past. But although he has some hot cars here, it's plain that he needs a better vehicle than this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: gavins report on "the fast and the furious"
Review: I think this is a very good and interesting. The movie is mostly about this guy named Dominick Toretto (Vin Diesel). Dominick and his friends high-jack a few trucks with dvd players, t.v. and stuff like that. So the cops send Brian Spilner (Paul Walker) to join Dominick's racing gang to find out whos high-jacking the trucks. So David and Dominick become close friends.And in the end Brian and Dominick drag race eachother, and Dominick gets in a car accident and the cops had already found out that Dominick was the one who was high-jacking the trucks, and when the cops were on their way Brian let Dominick go.
I would reccommend this picture to people who like cars,racing,and action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOT MOVIE
Review: This movie is just...wow. The cars, the racing, the guys...everything is just great. It makes you want to get in your own car and try some of the stunts that they did. This movie is about a guy who gets into the whole racing thing undercover to find out if Dom (Vin Diesel) is the one who is leading all the truck vanalizisms. Brian (Paul Walker) finds out that it's him but he's so in love with Dom's sister and he earn's Dom's respect that he doesn't want to turn him in. The story and the stunts...everything...great. A must own DVD!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action Packed, Plot Filled Entertainment
Review: The Fast and the Furious looks like any car lover's dream movie. Granted, it is. But it's more than just a car movie. It has plot. In fact, it has a good and detailed plot. It tells the story of a guy (Paul Walker) who mistakenly is taken up by a group of streetcar racers, and deals with the world of streetcar racing. Yet, there is something much more behind the new guy. I would give that away, but it surprised me when I watched the movie, so I won't spoil it.

The first thing, even before the plot, anyone will noticed about The Fast and the Furious are its intense action sequences. There's plenty of them, and all are enjoyable to watch. And they're not all just placed there so there will be an action sequence. They deal with the story. The next is its stars. They are a few known faces in this film. Vin Deisel and Paul Walker lead the cast. Actually, this film is Vin Deisel's film. He portrayed his character very well, and made him very believable. I can't say the same for Paul Walker. Even though he faired well, the way he handled some of his dialogue just seemed out of place to me. Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster level the film out with estrogen, and do it well. Both ladies played their characters well. Even though Rodriguez got stuck with her usual typecasting. There are also few subplots going throughout the movie, but are never really confusing nor downplay the entertainment value of the movie.

The Fast and the Furious DVD is a must have for it's full of entertaining supplements to keep you busy for a while. And the film itself, well of course, it's quiet worth the purchase also.
