I wanna know what everyone thinks.  I went and saw it last night with Chris (mtsixspeed) and I have to say it honestly was not that bad.  There were of course a couple parts where you had to just suspend reality and accept the movie but otherwise the cars were tastefully done (lots of muscle, barely any rice) and the acting was not bad either.  Having the original cast back helped a lot I think, and yes Jordana Brewster is still smoking hott.  Overall I would say its WAY better than #2, and even a tiny bit better than #1.  I won't compare it with Tokyo Drift since it was a completely different story line and cast.

Overall grade: B/B+

might go see it tonight

+1, same here

apparently there was alot of street racing and ricer action in houston friday night...lol

I went and saw it last night. I thought it was really good, definetly alot better than #2!! I was surprised how many muscle cars were in it.  
Ben did you notice Han(or however you spell it) in the begining of the movie. He was the guy from tokoyo drift but I thought he died in that one when his car flipped and caught on fire, that was the only part I didnt really get. But other than that a good movie.  You think there will  be #5? the ending seemed like it will keep going

It is out of sequence, it should be #1,#4, then #3.


There was no #2, it was too bad to exist

Didn't you guys hear Han say "I hear they're doing some crazy shit in Tokyo" in the beginning? This movie was before Tokyo Drift.

And at the end of Tokyo Drift Vin Diesel says he was a friend of Han's. So you can imagine what happened from the end of the new one. (if you saw it yet)



i thought it was alright, like ben said not too much rice.


there were cops at my local movie theater to keep all the rice from acting up...lol after the movie people were flying out of the parking lot in their Elantras and shit.  

I liked the movie overall on the entertainment factor. decent storyline and if you have seen all 3 previous movies, you would actually appreciate this movie more as there were references made throughout this whole movie whether it was a line that an actor said or a certain sequences of the scenes.

I was a good movie, better than expected... they did a good job on this one. This should of been the original part 2 to part one.

gonna go tuesday with my gf. i got plans tomorrow night and i work monday

it was good, not worth buying but you kind of have to see it in the theatre.

"Almost had me? You never even had your car"
"ohhhh"
"ask any real racer, it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile"

lol

it was pretty damn good. I was wandering why the hell Han was still alive. all makes sense now =P

I wish the black NSX would've seen more action. They had a special on it in Import Tuner, as well as the R34 kit cars and the original ..and the gh3y subie. What a horrid roll cage.

I finally have some time off today so im going to go see it , everyones says its good ....

Good to see everybody likes it so far. I wasnt expecting much but I may check it out now that I hear it's decent. I'll have to go during the week when all the ricers are in school or bed. LOL!

yeha you are right about that one...but going to see it tonight

Saw it opening day at midnight :D.

Much better than 2 fast 2 furious and Toky Drift. It had a much better story line then those too, and it had Vin Disiel. He does make the movie better in my opinion... A lot more than usual was unrealistic though....

B

I saw it on Friday, and again yesterday (my gf wanted to see it) and I enjoyed it both times. I liked how it tied all of the movies together and it was more down to earth than the others.

I think it was definately set up for another one...

I thought we were above this?  I should delete this thread.  Fast and Furious.......ughhhhh.

you seem like the odd man out here Tim, it's just a movie...no "above" or "below" this...

Sorry dude....I wasn't trying to incite anything, I just wanted to hear peoples honest opinions about the movie.  As much as I hate all the rice of the first 3, I saw this one just out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised.

In all honesty, a bunch of NYCM got together and saw the movie as a movie & meet night.  Most everyone realized it wasn't going to reflect the way in which our hobby/passion is in actuality.  While these movies aren't the best and have become almost a laughing stock by today's standards, the first one was still a huge movie (REPEAT: THE FIRST ONE) for people who are into modifying their cars, as it lead to a large growth in the industry, and this one is more of an action movie with hooked up cars, driving fast and a storyline thats got a point.

My opinion on these/this movie(s) are as follows:  It was a good ACTION movie, not a movie about street racing like morons with ricey cars and tacky one liners every 2 minutes, some of the driving scenes were very well done, and some of the scenes were downright stupid and unreleastic, there is a bit less empasis on the cars/driving in the movie this time around, it is by far the deepest and best thought out storyline of the series and tied the first and 3rd and 4th movies together.

Also for those who saw it and are suggesting/figuring there will be another, I wouldn't be too sure, because the very beginning and  end of this movie actually close the door on what happened after the first movie concluded and the 4th movie began.  If they make another one, then so be it.

This movie more of a prequel to tokyo drift and a sequel to 2 fast 2 furious. What they were trying to do in the end (not spoiling what happened but for those who saw it, ya know what I'm talking about) explains part of how Dom would made a cameo appearance at the end of Tokyo Drift.

anyways, if they do make another one again and can show another decent story line this one IMO. then i would go and see it also.

I don't know, it's just sorta funny how we are all "anti-rice", yet this is the biggest ricer movie franchise ever.  I don't have anything against anyone going to see this for entertainment purposes.  It's just my opinion, but I guess I don't think this specific movie deserves so much attention just because it's an action movie with an import car based theme.

This movie does have a good purpose though.  Cuz it inspires rice but also inspires a lot of people to mod their cars tastefully and the opposite from what they've seen in the movie.  I can honestly say that the first movie kinda had the effect on me.  Plus their are no other movies for people to enjoy that remotely have something to do with modding their cars so I think that's why people get so up in arms about it.

I saw the movie on friday at a drive-in theater.  Overall it was entertaining.  I think they did a good job evolving the storyline instead of showing just racing at "race wars".  Do I think there will be another movie, I'm sure there will because when you make 70.5 mil the first weekend, there's you budget for another one.

The only part of the movie that sucked was the end because as you can imagine at a drive-in everyone thought they were racing people out of the parking lot.  I was with a group of about 5 cars and we just stayed put until it was empty enough to roll out quietly.  Seriously everyone with an exhaust had to rev all the way out.

The plus side of being at a drive-in, I didn't have to worry about some puck trying to jack my shit while I'm watching the movie inside.  Oh well, I'm sure I'll be at Furious and Fast in 2010 lol!

i watched it last night......i loveeeeeeee the revenge scene at the end....all in all it was a great movie although there was too much muscle car for my taste... i love the import scene


i didnt go wiht my car to watch it though...i already have civics  and rsx's herassing me on a daily basis

I saw it, and liked it quite a bit. I liked how it kind of added to the existing story, and almost tied in with tokyo drift.

Damn shame that good lookin' Letty had to die, although Dom's sister is hot too!
All in all not disappointed in the least with this movie not to mention my latin brothers
Tego & Don Omar actually doin' their shit for once, BRAVO!!!
These fuckin' critics sometimes don't know what the hell their talkin' about, gotta go see
for yourself.
We all know there will be a sequel to this one.
Lookin' foward to it.

If I have time tomorrow I may try to hit up the matinee.

On the note of some punk jacking your shit, that was my worry as well, I hate taking my car too moviesbor malls for that reason precisely.

That's why God invented security systems.  Most "punks" don't know their ass from a hole in the wall well enough to steal a car with a well installed security system.  The people that can steal a car with a well installed security system don't usually bother with Hondas.

Quite the truth, I have an aftermarket alarm system sitting on the floor of my room right now, just don't want to take it to a generic (best buy) place to do the work.  Seeing as I've scraped the audio install I was going to do this spring in favor of protecting my current investment, care to help me out with this?  Too much wiring and one thing I will not attempt to do myself, unless it is with the help of someone who knows the wiring in the 7th gen well (EG you or other audiophiles on here)

Good point!... You and your manual transmission with remote start.....

One of my worst fears is coming back to where my car was parked only to find an empty parking spot. It's not even a fear, it's almost like I'm waiting for it to happen.
For so long I've used the false security blanket that is the stock alarm. I'm under the impression that if someone were to try to start the car without a key the engine would be immobilized, but that still doesn't stop them from stealing what's inside. For someone who has 5 wheel locks of 2 different kinds on each wheel, you'd think I'd be more concerned about protecting what's inside my car.

This is the first time I've had a modded car during a Fast and Furious release. I'm kinda glad that the cars were mostly muscle because I feel like I'm on high alert for theft now. Some idiots out there see things in movies or tv or whatever and will do anything to have them. I think the Shark might meet the Viper soon.

Let me know if you need help.  I'm glad to do the install if you want.


What does that have to do with security systems?

Back on topic, I'll be waiting to get this movie bootlegged.  I'd rather avoid going to the theater and encounter all the fans.  I saw 3 fast 3 furious on a date because the chick I was going out with wanted to see it.  Needless to say, that was a mistake.

i went early sunday , theater was half empty , but besides that it was a good movie, worth watching...

To bad the stupid theives around here will still steal your shit with a good ass alarm on it and they are only going for Honda's/Acura's.  Its quited down a little, but its only because it was winter as soon as everyone takes their cars out it will start again. They have come to the point of flat bedding cars away and pulling guns on people and there seems to be no end to it.

I would move if that was the case.

Dayuuummmm.... in Ohio WOW! Time to relocate.

I've never been so happy to live in RI. I saw this sunday after noon after my accident. I needed to go somewhere, and do something to take my mind of shit so my girl took me to see ths.

Ashley last year when I was at school in cleaveland my best friend and i were rooming.  The very first night I shit you not his Si was stolen and within 24 hours it was found on 120th street in Cleveland sitting on cinderblocks completly stripped.  The engine only had bolt ons and it had everything you could possibly think of in suspension parts all mugen exterior and leather interior from and integra and rsx-s front seats.  We could not believe that it got stolen that fast.  Everyone had told to watch out so we wer going to get the private parking through our apartment building the next day.  The sad part was that my buddy did not have full coverage on his car and was also going to switch it to full that week too.  And being that he bought it off of a guy we knwo he had no reciepts!

This guy's car from one of the local car teams was stolen during the FF premier: http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/s ... p?t=519202 (http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519202)


Wheel locks really aren't too safe...ya they keep most people from going at them, but its really not hard to take the wheel off. I was helping a friend change a flat, he had a set of wheel locks on the car but had lost the "key" and we needed to change the wheel that day (sunday=dealership closed)...we went to a couple tire/wheel places and they wouldn't let us borrow anything, but suggested a gator socket, after suggestion we hit up sears and bought some of those gator sockets (basically a universal socket wrench) and we were able to get the wheel lock off pretty easily...just an fyi to you all...same thing with tunner lugs, but those are a little harder......best route=security system

Ashley and I saw the movie yesterday and we were thoroughly impressed.  There was only a few very unrealistic scenes which comes with just about any movie. I would definitely put this second in line to the first only because the first got the whole thing started.  However still one of my favorite cuts from all of these movies is probably the first 10 minutes of the second one when Paul Walker is on his way to the first race in the Skyline and then the actual race.

Went and saw it last night; I want my 9.50back!

(sad thing is when i got home last night i found out TS release)

I think that there were two major mistakes made in the second, and thrid movies were both due to attempts to be cheap.

1. Both movies didn't maintain the original casting
2. FF2 especially was just a marketing bucket for mittsubishi, and they didn't even use an evo!!

What do you mean? Paul Walker drove the green Evo? Unless you're saying that they made it look like an Evo when it was really a Oz rally edition Lancer or something.

ima gona wait & borrow it on DVD or HBO...:)

I thought the movie was good! There was a lot of cops around when you get out of the theater tho... waiting for ppl to make there own move.

I thought you saw it with Team Inspire?

nope, i didn't join them. i was at the meet prior to the movie tho.

i been hearing good things about this movie, ill prob watch it this weekend

it was ok. cant expect much from 4th movie in series, although some movies still good on 6 series in.

one of problems i see is that this movie should have been 3rd and not 4th. its like they did 4th movie and said "wait we kinda skipped logical link between 2nd and 3rd. lets go back and fix it. WTF

Quentin Tarentino makes movies out of chronological sequence and people call him a genius director. ( I think he's overrated ) Maybe they think they're too cool for chronology.

The 4th one actually tied together all three of the first movies if you consider that Vin Diesel was not in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

deff chronology out of wack for sure

I dont think chronological order was ever taken into consideration when they started these movies.  I think they were hard up for money and one day realized "Hey! We can make another one and just stick it in between the other ones, bring back the original cast, put one member from the cast of the next best liked of the series and some new cars and everybody will love it because it's been about 2 years since the last one!" Probably something along those lines. LOL!!! Kind of like when they came up with some of these ridiculous movies like Freddy vs Jason and Alien vs Predator.  They saw an opportunity to make some money off of something everybody liked but hadn't really seen for a while.

I will probably go see the next ten just to look at Jordana Brewster for 90 minutes.

+1  

i heard on the radio this morning that the green light has already been lit for F&F 5.

I actually heard the same. Vin Diesal, and Paul Walker have signed on. Hopefully Miss Brewster follows suit. I would love if they used Ayanna Jordan to replace Letti as the Girlfriend.

who wouldnt wana sing on for movie like this. some of stunts actors do themself and stuff. there was video where they practice drifting and simple stuff like that, and driving skyline, hell yeah i would sign up too

That's you and I. Our daily driver isn't a Ferarri. I can promise you that driving the cars in these movies doesn't excite the bigger named actors.

It might.  Some people are car enthusiast no matter what.  For instance when you see a lot of these stars and their cars they'll usually have 1-2 "normal people" cars just because they like cars in general.  Cuz dont forget some of the cars in these movies could eat their Ferrari's alive, just like that Supra ate up that Ferrari in the first one.

lol, just had to remember that one!

Lol it's a movie.. Do you really think Ferarri vs. Supra ends that way? They drove the eclipse after blowing the motor up to you know! That was very realistic. The actors are signing on to do the third movie for a pile of reasons, and the all have dead presidents on them!

Depending on how it's built and tuned it very well could end that way.  When you have the kind of money they did that scenario movie or not becomes very realistic.  Cars are being built like that every day. Like I'm sure you'd be surprised what some of Paul's J36 builds could do especially when you throw a supercharger into the mix, some special things can happen. LOL!
