Reader comments: The Fast and the Furious

I thought the movie was great, the dialogue was a bit slathered in cheeze but do you really go to see a movie like that for poetic monologues? I wish people would stop putting down Paul Walker too. he's not only hot but he's a good actor! Those who say he can't act obviously haven't seen him in movies like She's all that, Joy ride, or the skulls. great movie, i reccomend it and 2 fast 2 furious.

all i have to say is wow! i've seen this movie like 5 times..........usually you'd get tired of a movie after that many times........but this one keeps pulling you back for more, its just so intense and gives u a huge adrenalin rush. the only thing i didn't like was when they blew up the green eclipse.......i absolutely loved that car.......lol

I left the theater and felt like I just left my vehicle after a 2 hour race. My heart was pumping and I wanted more! If you like speed, cars, and egos, see this. If you are going for the girl or the plot, you should probably stick to the movie web site.

The movie was awesome. It was made for fans of the street racing scene, so naturally people who arent into that scene i.e. film critics arent gonna really enjoy it. :-) oh and its not a hemi that gets wrecked its a charger... thanx ;-)

Ok where do these critics come from half of them just bash movies. who qualified them to be critics ne way?? i thought fast and furious rocked and i think these critics are 45 year old retards that wouldnt know a good movie if it bit them in the butt

You don't go to a movie like the Fast and the Furious to be entertained by great acting, wonderful plot, or thoughtful dialogue anymore than you watch Baywatch for the same things. People watched Baywatch because of the beautiful, bikini clad and buff and bronze speedo clad actors. It was eye candy. So is the fast and the furious. It's bay watch with cars. Pure pleasure. Jon

The movie was not made to be nominated for Oscar here fellas. It was made for the import race scene and whoever likes that hobby, sport, or whatever you want to call it. I love drag racing and have an import so seeing the movie 4 times already, isn't enough for me. Someone who is into planes would have a different opinion. But, there is a fact, in that it's made lots of money so it cannot be as bad as people say, cause that is obviously a wrong opinion.

I didn't see the movie. I didn't need to, the previews showed me all I needed to know about the plot. The Hemicuda gets wrecked. This was a tragedy. No Honda, Toyota or Mitsubishi can compare to the muscle of the '70s. Makes me sad to see a great car come to a sad end.

I have seen this movie 3 times and i really enjoyed watching it. Basically why people seem to hate this movie is that they don't really enjoy watching import cars drag racing. I guess the movie should've been longer and more detailed at the end..overall awsome movie!

Okay, who in the hell would try to hijack a truck with James Bond equipment? Didn't any of these dips see "Goodfellows", You just stick a gun out the window and tell the driver, "pull over, get out". Sense when has the FBI and the LAPD set up a task forse over 3 truck hijacking? 5 or 6, maybe more truck loads end up missing from the docks at Long Beach every day. In this dog the cops and FBI are going to set up a major task force, because 2 million the hijackers have stolen 2 million in merchendise? Get real, that's page A17 news. Even more a amazing, a Chinese guy gets a machine pistol with a 30 round clip to fire more than 100 rounds without reloading. This move didn't make a lick of sense, but did seem to appeal to the mass of 14 year olds in the threater, which must have been the age or education level of the writer.

I think that "The Fast and The Furious" was the best movie I've ever seen. I know that the movie didn't have a good plot and the ending didn't really make any sense, but when you go to see a movie about racing cars you shouldn't expect it to have a good plot. How can you make a good plot with the star falling in love with the girl and them living happily ever after when you are trying to focus on cars? I appreciate what the movie was for, cars! I loved the cars and the racing, and I think that Paul Walker was perfect for the role, not to mention he was hot! The movie had every thing you could ask for: suspension, cars, motorcycles, hot guys, girls, love, death, hate, crime, everything! I left that movie with my jaw open, I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling. I never sat back in my chair once. It was the best $5 I've ever spent.

How could yall say that about this movie.Hello your a critic read your reviews. It made more money then it cost to make the first weekend it was out. I've seen it twice and going to see it again.This movie was actioned packed and it kept you on yours toes the whole way through. I give this movie a max rating cause it was the first movie that ever really appealed to the second generation.

I think this movie was Great!!! The whole time you got to see all those cool cars! The ending was really good with the train, you don't expect what happened. There was friendship and love, it was just about a perfect movie (in my opinion)!!!!

I think The Fast and The Furious was exactly what it was supposed to be.It was geared for teens! How many movies geared for teens have incredible plot lines and dialogue?? You get what you are looking for when you see this movie...Fast cars and hot actors!The action scene with Matt Schulze (Vince) where he jumps from the car to the semi, is very cool.He's hot!!! If you like teen movies with fast cars...go see it.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I am a movie fanatic and to be honest with you I like MOST movies. However, this one was the worst I have seen in a long time. The plot was terrible...."Brian" is a TERRIBLE actor. It doesn't even show him race at race wars! Man this movie stunk! Vin Deisel was OK....the girls were good looking. Other than that, please do not waste your time and money.

I can at least say this film delivered some exciting car stunt scenes, unlike last year's "Gone in 60...". However, a razor thin plot and laughable script make for some boring interludes of dialogue between car scenes (Yippee!). My advice, wait for the video. -- When will hollywood make a film that utilizes good film, making techniques, i.e. a plot, character development, a script which doesn't scream CHEESE!, AND still delivers "better than Bruckheimer action"?
