Damn I wish I had more in tune and intellectual friends... not many people just 'get it'. Know what I mean?

Anyways seems like the OP didn't get how ridiculous and tongue in cheek this movie was. The action was absurd and over the top, the banter was all cheesy and harmless, and the acting was perfect for the series. The series has gone from hilariously bad, to hilarious and fun for the right reasons.

No I completely get this and its part of the series charm. Fast 5 has that in spades but everyone is so into it you can't help but love it. My problem is in 6 no one seems to be having a good time. I don't know if "phoning it in" is possible with something like this but it definitely feels like it.

I don't watch F&F for the action scenes.

I watch it because it's about awesome bros doing bro things together with cars.

To me, the series is more 'Family & Fun' than 'Fast & Furious.'

I don't disagree with that opinion. I do feel that Five had a lot more 'fun' in it. I still liked Six, but it definitely felt less... cohesive. ( opinions)

The car stuff is probably the least pronounced in 6 which is another big disappointment for me but I know what your saying.

Question I had after watching this over the top movie.

How long is that fuckin runway... geez.

I never understand why people still make this complaint.

When the camera switches from one set of characters to another set of charachters, it doesn't mean that they happen one after the other. All the action is happening at the same time.

Your avatar is pure perfection. Fast 6....Not so much. I should get a mod to merge this thread with "Which of you has never done drugs" I bet it would be very insightful.

I loved Five, but felt that 6 was a far inferior film in almost every regard. I even rewatched five immediately afterwards to double check I wasn't misremembering anything.

My favourite movie of the year. The moment Rock and Vin squared off against those two guys was the best part of the series so far.

Awesome movie, so much fun. Don't take it seriously. I liked it more than FF5.

This idea that in order to enjoy a blockbuster movie you have to discount all levels of taste is ridiculous. I don't take any of these movies seriously. They can still be quality entertainment. I don't take transformers 1 or 2 seriously but Transformers 2 is still a piece of crap movie regardless of how flippant I treat the film whereas 1 is legitimately solid entertainment.

So we agree, FF6 is awesome! Btw, I only watched the Extended version on Blu, I didn't see it in theaters so not sure what changes were made.

This movie was so wonderfully refreshing and hilarious. Some of my all time FAVORITE lines!

"You need to chill bra! You went from Shaggy to Scooby Doo!"

"Hey man! That could be mah forehead!"
"Nah man! Yo fohead aint that big!"

"Ah man! Yo can't flick a booger without hitting a camera in this city!"

"No bling bling? You obviously aren't BALLER enough."

"That aint a plane! THATS A FREAKIN PLANET!!!"

HEEEEYOHH!!

This is the best movie I have seen all year because its written like how I would write detective short stories back in school which I love.

"Ok so check this shit out! So they're gonna find a gun right? So then they will TRACE this gun back to a pawn shop ok hang on so then the pawn shop guy is gonna be all "Yeah word is this girl is a street racer." (Talking about letty! oh shit!)
So THEN they will go to this shop ok and the bad guys will be gone right? BUT! They find some paint or something and your thinking "Ah they are f'ed they got away. But then Rock is gonna fill us in and say "There is NEVER nothing!" right? So now your thinking "Whats he planning here??" on the ground and are all like "This is special paint and can be traced" shiiiiit! So THEN this paint leads them to road somewhere where they find an F'ING TANK! So your wondering "Why the f are they in a tank?" right, but don't sweat it cuz who gives a shit. Then they catch him! And….hang on thats kinda boring. Actually they catch him but THEN release him and chase him again IMMEDIATELY after they release him!"
Then there is a chase scene on a 5000 mile runway with jeeps just showing up on ramming duty like your playing Uncharted. Soo good.

And a brilliant twist!
Right when the bad guy is gonna escape, or i mean…uh. Let go, briefly. He says "You commin baby?" and your thinking "Naw man Letty aint goin no where. She's made her choice" but then the OTHER chick is all "Wouldn't miss it for the world" and walks over to the other side. Shooooot! What was he name again? Oh who gives a shit PLOT TWIST baby!


Easily some of the BEST WRITING of any movie all year.
For example:
There is even a part where the bad guy says to Paul Walker "Heh, your a dead man anyway. I'll tell you my master plan." amazing.

Regarding why the hell Letty is still alive:
"Well you see! They WERE gonna kill her and all but the guy changes his mind…but THEN changes his mind and goes to the hospital to finish the job right! And right before he is gonna end her she says "Who are you?"
and the dude says "What you mean girl?"
"I don't remember you?"
Amnesia!!! She can't remember! She is now a blaaaank slate baby! She can be molded! HEYOOOOH!!!

The best line in the entire film is:
"How did you know there would be a car there to break out fall?"
"…..I didn't. Sometimes you have to go on faith."
HOLY SHIT EPIC! I got goosebumps when he said that.

The movie then ends with them telling Rock they want their old house back and basically evict the single family tenants with 3 kinds going to school so they can move back in. Saweeeeeet. Oh right I forgot that they are LIVING in the house for what we can assume is a decent amount of time before the Rock comes back and is all "So its official! You get to stay here!" See the United States is so tight they let these maniac criminals live in this house while they took care of finalizing the details. Props for that.

See its SO awesome because its such shit it doesn't take itself seriously!

You are no longer friends with people who had a good time?

You must be a killer at parties. Literally.

Doesn't know that "You" is used in both the singular and plural
I thought it was boring.

Fast Five had The Rock Novelty, having him as an ally here reduced his impact. I believe the lack of plot progression is what bored me. I tried re-watching this one, twice, I just get bored. The first movie and the fifth are very re-watchable.

I agree with the OP. I can't recall what it was now, but Fast and Furious 5 was a lot of fun, and I disliked the previous 4 films. I watched 5 on a whim since it had been well received by critics.

Then I watched F&F 6 and it was AWFUL. I don't know what the hell happened from 5 to 6 but it was just painful to watch. That one chick that will be playing Wonder Woman was especially bad. Any line that came out of her mouth made me cringe. Who thought casting her as Wonder Woman was a good idea?! She doesn't talk right!

I agree. One of the worst movies I've seen so far. It actually made me less embarrassed about Bollywood. Bollywood produces cheap/mindless action movies like F&F every two weeks. Dhoom 3 came out recently and is equally shit. Check that out on subs if you like these kind of movies.

I have since the first FF thought that the movies were bad and that the people that really like them are people whom I generally find have bad taste in things. The fact that these movies inspired a legion of people who think that throwing a shitty coffee can muffler on their mom's civic makes it a racecar is enough for me to hate them.


That being said, I get it. Action movies. Good looking people. Flashy cars. Just isn't for me.

I've been a fan of the series since the 1st one and I feel like they keep getting better with each passing sequel. While the story may not be the best, I feel it's the cast's chemistry that keeps me coming back. They all seem to genuinely enjoy each other and it really shows on screen. Well that and the over the top action goodness.

I think you are completely right about the chemistry being what made the other movies great which is why I didn't like 6 at all because that chemistry was completely gone.

Yeah, it's a terrible fucking movie for exactly the reasons the OP mentioned.

BUT, it is very, very entertaining. It's a summer fluff movie, just like Pacific Rim. Over the top and colorful.

People expect too much from films these days.

Tyrese is to Fast and Furious as Rico is to Killzone. Fuck that character. Worst dialog ever. "We hongry brah"

Frozen on the other hand is HORRID. Biggest pile of crap Disney has ever released.

Had never seen any of the Fast films before about November. Watched all 6 in 2 weeks. Loved it.

Yeah there are some stupid over the top moments, but it was great fun. They found a guy who made The Rock look small for fuck sake.
