Summary: Don't look too deep, just enjoy it
Review: Ok, I will agree with the haters of this movie in that it didn't even come close to the reality of street racing. But this is just a movie, so you need the pretty boys to take the leads or else people won't be impressed enough to actually see it. But the fact is that it has the three things men love most, fast cars, hot girls, and good action. So it don't matter if you get Michael Jackson to start in this movie its still gonna do good. So be like me and ignore the lame acting and lack of actual racing and just enjoy it.

Summary: This Movie is Great and Action Packed
Review: At first when the movie came out I thought it was stupid to have a movie about Car Racing, so I didnt bother till the second movie came out, when I was forced to go with my Paul Walker loving sister, so to prepare I rented the movie and I loved it, It was so good, Im glad I gave it a chance because I would have really missed out.

Summary: Good, Mindless Fun for a Few Hours
Review: Released in 2001, The Fast and The Furious introduced us to the world of down-and-dirty street racing, with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in the starring roles.The movie was a natural hit, with its buff guys, well-rounded women, fast cars and wild life. This isn't a movie about deep meanings and complex plots. It's a simple cop-infiltrates-gang, cop-falls-for-girl story that is pumping full of adrenaline and excitement. The movie does give a hard-edged view into life on the edge - the extras and cars in many scenes are real street racers who bring a realism into what they do. The characters don't have backgrounds, they don't have goals, and they don't have heroes to look up to. All they have is their gang, their immediate release in the rush of speed. As a woman who likes sportscars, I did actually enjoy much of this, and was very happy to see that there was a female mechanic on the team that was just as trusted as the rest of the guys. Only a few years ago, the girls would all be jumping on the sidelines while the guys did the driving. But this film lets a female driver blow away a male racer, and includes women who can stand on their own. Kudos for that! A fun, escapist fantasy to blow through a rainy evening with.

Summary: Fashion is the art of brainwashing the young
Review: Unfortunately, the idea of cool and being part of the in crowd is a big part of today's youth, and even more disappointingly, Hollywood. Case in point... 'The Fast And The Furious' starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Take for example my 14-year old sister. She knows absolutely nothing about cars, whether it be parts of the engine or drag racing. She knows none of the names of the actors in the movie. Believe me, I've asked her. She just thinks it's THE cool movie to watch because her friends told her it was THE cool movie to watch. And that's exactly what America's youth wants: just to be part of something that's seen as fashionably adequate. So in that respect, 'The Fast And The Furious' is an excellent movie. It's just too bad--no--it's inappropriate, that this movie takes such advantage of our youth's gullibility. The two main characters in the movie are Brian (Walker) and Dom (Diesel). Along with their supposed sexiness comes fast cars, fast women, and all the action you could ever want. But what's not included in the package is a decent plot or even good acting. But who needs those things anymore, right? All we need now is some hot ass and a few awesomely designed, super fast cars. The scenario is basically that Brian, an undercover cop, is to find out if Dom and his gang of punks and hot women are part of an ongoing problem involving trucks being robbed of their drag-racing car parts. But like they do to so many kids, the bright lights and craziness of the streets sway Brian into thinking: 'hey... this ain't so bad'. Even with the storyline being weak, it does manage to promote lawbreaking and, though not directly, label it okay to the point of (once again)- cool. It's not like in 'Gone In 60 Seconds' where a helpless brother was to be saved; justifying their wrongdoings. Here they're just stealing car parts to use in illegal street races (that are again glorified beyond belief). Together Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are satisfactory when it comes to acting. But apart their true talents show. Just look at their respective, separate movies. 'XXX', a good film with a similar scheme, is much, much better than this. And even movies like 'Pitch Black' and 'Knockaround Guys' portray Diesel in a manner more fitting of his genius. Paul Walker's only other (somewhat) popular movie was 'Joy Ride'. Don't even waste your time with that one. You can tell I am a fan of Vin Diesel--he was my reason for watching this movie in the first place--and, along with a few choice car crashes, he was probably the only brilliancy I noticed. Why they decided to omit him from '2 Fast 2 Furious', the sequel I'm NOT going to see, is beyond me. Come to think of it, it was probably Vin's decision to keep his name off something so silly. Congrats, Vin, you made a wise choice. This movie seems to become more and more popular as more and more people see it. Kudos to the directors for hitting the jackpot; shame on them for rigging it so the 13- and 14-year olds who watched it had no choice but to tell their friends it was 'awesome!'. I could've easily given this movie 1 star and still feel good about it. Instead I gave 'The Fast And The Furious' 2 stars for the aforementioned two reasons. Other than those "bright spots" the movie was unmemorable, unimaginative, and arguably one of the most misleading films of recent times. Even if you love Vin Diesel you might be disappointed with it. He does a good job, but he just doesn't seem to fit in with the gangster wannabes and poor actors. Really, only his name seems appropriate (Diesel... cars... get it?). And if you don't care much for fast cars and their flashy colors, what the heck are you doing here? Steer clear of this one, at all costs.

Summary: The Fast and The Furious
Review: The Fast and The Furious is basically a movie for people who like cars and action car films with lots of racing. The people who gave this movie 2 or 3 stars obviously dont like cars! I love cars and i enjoyed this movie. There, problem solved. If you dont like cars, dont watch it. If you like cars, watch it. Who cares about script, dialogue and all that crap, just look at the sweet cars!! Thats what i did. Some of the cars are 1993 Mazda RX-7 (my fav) 1995 Toyota Supra, Honda S2000, Honda Civic (which is stupid) Mitsubishi Eclipse, and possibly some Toyota MR2 Spyders, Mitsubishi EVO's and others -Patrick

Summary: Entertaining regardless of not having a plot
Review: Ok, when this movie came out it was pretty much a teenage staple. The guys liked the cars (although my gearhead friends and I would've preferred more American muscle) the girls (excuse the stereotype please) liked Vin Diesel. I remember the first time I saw the movie I didn't really understand what was going on, and the second time I realized why, this movie is missing a concrete plot, which didn't stop them from making a ton of money, and a sequel.

Summary: Great Action=No Story
Review: This is another video game movie based for American teenagers, and as one I feel as if Hollywood thinks we are all mindless kids who only go to the movies for action. After watching this film I felt as if my IQ dropped 10 points. The story is just stupid and the acting is really really horrible...with the exception on Vin Disel who do an okay job. This is not a great film or even a good one. I wish Hollywood would give films targeted towards teenagers a better story and acting.

Summary: Land of the Multiple Releases
Review: There's something to be said about a culture that can release more of a movie than you can shake a stick at. (I believe Halloween I is gearing up for its 5th or 6th DVD release.) Theres even more to be said of the consumers that buy them. Here's an idea... F&F ver 3.0 Ja Rule edition complete with never before seen vidio and omitting all the documentaries. I started buying DVD's from day one and I remember when there was something special about a "special edition." Heck... I remember when Deleted scenes were actually added back into the movie or you could pick the original theatre or re-edited cut. Those days are over and almost every disk is "special." This "turbocharged edition" was poorly planned and put together, and comes off as one big Mitsubishi commercial (since they spnsor the sequel.) Most disappointing is all the documentary and behind the scenes erased from Version 1. And I mean ALL. The marketing wiz behind this must have thought sequel and disk in the same month and these idiots will buy. The prelude to 2F2F isnt bad, but forgets a key factor in that Brian, our hero, lived in the back of the shop he worked at but does set up the scene. Featured here are the GTO (3000 GT here in the States) and the Eclipse. Perhaps they'd do better to show this instead of those jazzy commercials on TV. "All New Movie Experience?" The Multi-angle, Deleted scenes, and behind the scenes footage are only accessible through a re-done "commentary sans Vin Diesel" when an icon appears as are the Multi-angle (basically a behind the scenes alternate shot, even porns have true milti-angle) I love listening to the commentary but to force others who may not to watch an entire movie of voice over to see missing scenes? Some arent even missing, they're actually on the scene ride show-offs. The "And much more" they advertised... um... I must have missed it. Tricking out a Hot Car: Oh, the Lancer Evolution is in the states now and in the sequel... so now we have a Lancer EVO commercial complete with playmate of the year. Sadly she cant even "act" stupid without coming off like shes acting. Don't do this at home (that goes for the playmate too) kids and if you do dont expect to have your car pass for plate tags. The big marketing point is hilarious. A coupon for a free ticket woth less than what you just bought. This version could have been great. If they had taken the original DVD release, add the deleted scenes separately, and then piled on the "tricked out edition extras" it would be worth it. As is it isn't even worth replacing your 1st Gen release... that is unless you're a big fan of MMC.
