Fast Five Aka The Fast and The Furious 5

Does Roman get any good lines?

He was awesome in 2 Fast 2 Furious. "Like I said, we hungry."
 
First off I'd like to say that while I enjoyed the other Fast and Furious' I never thought any of them were anything special with Tokyo Drift being my favorite yes even over the first one. Just got back from Fast Five and wow this movie blew me away.

The things I didn't like: the dialogue in the beginning of the movie just never felt right, especially Brian's. Now that the negatives are out of the way.

Positives: The acting from most of the cast really surprised me, they all seemed on top of their game esepecially when everyone comes together and they just let their fantastic chemistry take over. I loved how each character actually had quite a bit of screentime; Roman, Tej, and the 2 guys from number 4 were hilarious. Han just ooozes sophisticated awesomeness, he is without a doubt my favorite character from this whole franchise everything about him is great. They need to make a spinoff with Dwayne Johnson ala U.S. Marshalls because he was freakin fantastic and a complete bad ass.

The real star of the movie though is the action. Wow all of it is fantastic. Very well shot, you can always see whats going on and who is participating. The much hyped about fight between Vin and Dwayne is great and they really let loose on each other. The final action scene is one of the most inventive car chases I've ever scene and some moments are just jaw dropping. The best part about all of it is that it seems like everything is real, I'm sure there is some cg work but its like Chris Nolan minimum cg if not less.

If you're a fan of the franchise or even just an action fan, do yourself a favor and see the movie. It's fantastic. 9/10
 
Just got back.

Great movie! Man, this was a nail-biter. Plus, I had a smile on my face the whole time, and even some parts fist-pumped the air in accomplishment. My favorite character is Han.

All the action scenes were awesome. Especially The Rock and Diesel's fight. Wow!

Was there a scene after the credits?

All in all, 8/10 for me. A great action flick and I can't wait for the sixth one. Hopefully the dude from Tokyo Drift is in it.
 
Hahaha, was there a scene after the credits? :woot:

I'd say 95% of the theater cleared out real fast while the last few stayed and were indeed treated to a surprise mid credit scene that literally left everyone with either their jaw on the floor, uttering an expletive like they'd been slugged in the gut, or some incoherent mix of the two.

Honestly, it was something I simply didn't see coming and can't wait for a sequel to find out what happens next!

Dwayne Johnson's character is in his office when he's handed a special file about some military shipment being hijacked. He asks if it was Torretto, and is told no, so he says not interested. He's told to keep reading and flips a page to see that Michele Rodriguez's character is still alive and well.

WHAT?! Man, I wish I would've stayed!

But how would she still be alive?! Didn't she catch a bullet in the head?
 
Ok just got back and wow......****ing wow....blew away my expectations.

1st off I love this franchise and they really really nailed it with this one...Justin Lin is the man.

I'm tired so I will be giving a more detailed review 2maro.....but I got to say this if your a fan of this franchise GO SEE THIS!

O yea and yes there is an after credit scene so stay after......ill just say this.....Lin hands us a Great after credit scene that I could compare to the after credit scene from IM...

Now if you want to know what it is:

in the after credit scene Dwayne Johnsons character (Hobbs) is in his office and Eva Mendez's character from 2 Fast 2 Furious shows up and hands him a folder....shes says there was a Hiest in Berlin,Hobbs then asks if it was Toretto and she says no and he then says I'm not interested then she says yes you are and she shows him a picture............its a picture of Letty
 
Great review. You saying it's realistic caught my attention (seeing the previous 4 were anything but) I look forward to seeing it.

I didn't stay for an after credit scene because it was getting late as hell and the theater was packed and it would've been hell trying to get out of there.

I'm gonna go see ahead probably Saturday or Sunday morning anyway when there's a smaller crowd.

Wow, and onto the movie.

The best way I can come up with a review is: This movie knows exactly what it is. It never pretends to be anything else. I never expected it to be so damn funny too. It drags just a little bit here and there, but it always pays off in the end. There was also one somewhat awkward moment that happens in the movie with one of the characters that could've been executed better, but other than that, I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. 8/10

Trailers shown tonight:
-A Better Life
-The Change-Up

-Cowboys & Aliens (still playing the first trailer from like 7 months ago?)

But..!

Did we actually see that happen? As far as I remember, only when Toretto reimagines the scene.

Yeah, but when Felix and Toretto are talking, Felix says, "Do you remember her face? Cause I don't. The last time I seen it was in flames." Or something along those lines.

To be fair that was Dom imagining how Letty was killed. We really don't know what actually went down
 
real good stuff....loved it. will see again soon.
 
Wait so this is actually a good-ok movie?

Dammit this summer is going to cost me a lot of money.
 
Awesome news guys! I am glad you all liked it. I wanted to go to the midnight showing last night but both showings were sold out. My friends and I waited to late. And the girls in the group took forever getting ready lol. We are suppose to all go Saturday night but I might sneak and see it by myself tonight and then again with them on Saturday night. Since they all have to work or do something tonight. Do you guys think I am wrong if I sneak out on them and see it tonight? LoL
 
Do want you want bro. Just don't tell them you saw it.

'FAST FIVE' SPEEDING: $3.7M Midnights Are Universal's Biggest; $41.6M Global Cume
By NIKKI FINKE | Friday April 29, 2011 @ 5:47am PDT

FRIDAY 7 AM: Overnight, the Summer Movie Season officially kicked off. Universal's Fast Five grossed an estimated $3.7M in 1,104 North American theaters. That's more than twice what the previous film, Fast & Furious, the 4th installment in the street racing franchise, did in midnight screenings ($1.8M). It's the biggest midnight screening in Universal history and the biggest for the franchise. Overseas so far, this 5th in the franchise has made $35.6M from the four territories of Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and the UK last week, as well as $2.2M in Germany where it opened Thursday as well as $155K in previews in Austria. Numbers for Russia have not come in yet. Once again, this proves the theatrical adage that sequels do really well internationally. Domestically, big online ticket seller Fandango reports that Fast Five is its top advance ticket-seller of 2011, representing 74% of daily ticket sales going into its opening weekend in the U.S.

Well there is no cg so all the action is definitely real stunts and what not but as for the realistic haha you definitely need to suspend your disbelief for some of the craziness.
 
Kinda off topic but the official movie game is up in the app store for iPhone and android marketplace. I have it for the iPhone 4 ( cost 5 bucks) and it pretty good for a movie tie in game. The graphics are near psp quality and the voice acting is okay. If follows the storyline in the movie and has races, drift races, drag races, time attack etc. It plays like burn out/ need for speed. Another nice feature is that it has online multiplayer. Also you can upgrade your car with cash and it even has the new dodge charger 2011 in the game.
So if your like me and looking for something to past the time before you go see the movie it's defintely worth the 5 bucks.
