    yeah i agree he was great.

    it was doing my head in that i couldnt place him as he looked so familar to me then seen he's been in about 3 other films that ive seen before (immortals, 3 musketeers, the hobbit etc).

    did a nice job in this without hamming it up.

    So any of you hot blooded males enjoy Gina Carrano...its about the only appeal for me in this film...the whole series went ridiculous after the first one...i'm neither a boy racer or car enthusiast but from fast 2 this film has gotten more and more over the top stupid and stunt driven with plot holes a mile wide in it....
    I'll go see it for sure...but won't be salivating over it at all

    Fast 5 was a fantastic action movie. Almost a reboot.

    It stood alone as an action movie & I'd put it up with the first one for status. Three is the worst though.

    Looking forward to this.

    I hope all the hype for fast 6 stands wise and the movie is worth it.

    Just back from seeing this now and I gotta admit, I loved it!!! Putting aside some cheesy dialogue and some stupid (and pointless) CGI it was a very very good popcorn flick!!!


    Of the plot twists in the movie I can honestly say I missed 2 of them when I really should have got em but they were done well!!! I also loved how they tied the other movies into this one, overall a very very enjoyable watch!


    I've changed my mind, roll on 7!!!!!!!!

    You would need to be a full blown retard to leave that film satisfied.

    of course I am, look at the actors for starters and look at the plot. Sad, ridiculous!

    What's wrong with the actors then? I saw it yesterday and admittedly loved it. Yes, you need to leave your brain at the door as it has quite a few plotholes and questionable CGI/plots but then, what do you expect from this type of action film?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭veXual


    Seen this last night and quite enjoyed it. It's the 1st time I've seen a film go full retard in terms of action and continuity in a long while but was great craic.

    Was worth seeing solely for
    The super punch of justice that Vin Diesel and the Rock pulled off on gigantor inside the plane

    It's a big dumb action movie that knows exactly what it is, same as the others.

    Saw this the other week and found it very entertaining. Vin Diesel's flying head-butt, the aforementioned runway length and Gina Carrano was very fetching.

    Cheers for the reports everyone, the poster in question has been dealt with even if you can't see it!

    I saw this last night and enjoyed it a lot but it wasn't quite as good as Fast 5. I feel that The Rock should have been given more screen time as he has such charisma when he is on screen. Certainly more than Vin Diesel but I guess this has been Diesel's franchise since the beginning.

    The plot was hardly complicated but I am confused at one thing. When
    Shaw was planning on attacking the convoy the F&F crew knew he would attack the convoy and not the base. Did they not bother telling The Rock? And why was there a tank in the truck?
    I just assume it was there to make a good action set-piece. It was a little strange the amount of collateral damage done in that scene.

    While none of the stunts lived up to the car going over the cliff at the beginning of Fast 5 I did like most of the action. The last action set piece was very entertaining and like a lot of people I was laughing at the length of the runway.
    I knew that there was a cameo coming at the end of the film but I'd managed to steer clear of spoilers. Its a great choice to add Statham to the mix. Roll on Fast 7.

    Saw this last night and reallt enjoyed it. Better than number 5. Parts of it are totally ridiculous but that's what it's all about.

    The action sequences were better than ever and I really like how it has set itself up for number 7.
    I guess the young fella from Tokyo Drift will be helping Vin Diesel and the gang hunt down Jason Statham. Hope he hasn't aged much in the last 7 years as he's supposed to be only 17.

    No surprise it did mega bucks at the US box office beating The Hangover III and Epic

    The Fast & Furious do well abroad too, in particular their mad about them in several Asian countries.

    I really liked the opening credits with the montage of all the films and Tyrese's character Roman has some funny one liners

    I thought it was like a tv show opening, especially the end when all of them are walking towards the camera, you half expected a "previously on The Fast and The Furious" at the beginning :pac:

    You would have to see it, without spoiling it, there is a runway scene that just seems to go on forever!

    A TAD unrealistic when it comes to the length of the runway :D

    highly enjoyable action movie with car sequences.

    really liked the Han stuff at the end.

    the pacing was pretty solid. action sequences were for the most part very impressive (bar part of the bridge sequence :/)

    It's come a long way from The Fast & The Furious anyway, no longer primarily about cars or tuning.
