FAST AND FURIOUS 6 - WRITTEN REVIEW
Go Speed Racer go wait no what am I talking about Speed Racer is a ridiculous and I am talking about Fast and Furious 6. This movie is totally in the realm of reality just like say the last Iron Man or Star Trek. Hello friends it’s your old pal Brandon again with sarcasm coming out of his butt because if you know anything about the Fast and Furious series then you know that is completely bat shit insane. It is all about fast cars, hot women and explosions. Now I personally only seen one other Fast and Furious movie and I thought it was a dumb fun movie and that is what I was expecting with this movie. Sadly what I experienced was a dumb meh movie.
I know people who must be asking whoa Brandon how couldn’t you have fun watching this movie it has explosions, sexy cars, and tanks and planes and fighting and sexy girls fighting this sounds like the best movie ever right? Well no, even with all this fast cars and action it still falls short of being entertaining. I literally was bored throughout the whole movie. Let me explain myself for a second if you are really into cars and seeing cars do unbelievable shit then you will call me a dumbass and say this was one of the greatest movies of all time. If cars don’t get you hard then this movie is going to just be meh. Now I like dumb movies without a plot and are just testosterone filled action movies as much as the next guy. This movie was truly just missing the excitement and more importantly peril. Not once in this movie did I think that the villain was convincing enough to actually be a threat.
The plot is that old timey plot of the government badass named Hobbs needs help from the criminals in hiding to help him stop a more “dangerous criminal. In this universe everything can be solved by driving really fast. That always just tickled my funny bone about this series, the whole there’s a terrorist we must drive fast to stop them. I know you’re thinking we get it you think the movie is dumb and it is my fault I know because the first thing I look for in a movie is the plot. If a movie has a shitty or generic plot and does nothing with it then that is what I harpen on.The director is named Justin Lin and he has directed the last 4 Fast and Furious movies and I have to say he has made the same movie all 4 times. I want him to take the series in a different direction and what that direction is I truly don’t know but for the love of god don’t do what he did in this movie. He did the worst thing he brought back a thought to be dead character in this movie.That is some soap opera writing there, but wait they have amnesia (cue in dramatic music) it is so stupid and the worst thing that is basically part of the main plot of the whole story. The acting in the movie isn’t terrible they actually make this terrible plot worth something. My personal favorite character was the Dwayne Johnson’s character of Hobbs. He was the badass without them trying to over hype that he is a badass. I am a huge supporter of Dwayne Johnson’s acting career as of this year, he may have had a rocky start with Doom, and The Mummy 2, but he is really becoming a great actor. Vin Diesel however is overplayed as this “BAMF” and he just comes off as a prick. They also have Tyrese Gibson being one of the most annoying characters in the damn movie, they try so hard to make him a funny character and end up making him just annoying as hell. Like I said I have only seen the first Fast and Furious a long time ago so maybe that is how these characters are supposed to be.
The best part of this movie was the end scene that sets up for the sequel. What annoyed me is the fact that ending scene sets up for a much more story than the one I finished watching in the theater. I do admit that this movie isn’t for me in the slightest I was in the theater where the audience was having the time of their life. I say the more power to ya if you love these movies you have already seen this movie but do me a favor don’t go around telling your friends about how great this movie is. I ask because all I heard was this movie was good and when I went to see it all I thought was meh.
Overall if you like the movies you like them if you haven’t seen any of them you honestly don’t need to; to understand what this movie is about but don’t believe the hype because you will just walk out disappointed like I did. My best advice to you is to leave your thinking cap at home and go in just ready to have a good time if you don’t you may walk out like I did just upset about shitty plot. I give this a D+ if you rent this at your home you won’t be disappointed but there is no reason to ever see this in theaters.
