A decent film, but my pick for the worst in the series


Mostly because of the cave sequences. Very fake looking and unpolished. It looked like a PS3 game.

The other part I didn't care for was Vin playing the role of CSI when examining the stretch of road where Lettie was "killed." Flashbacks to the wreck and shooting like he could see it all happen.

I still liked the film okay, but the parts I mentioned make it the worse in the series as far as I'm concerned.

My order:

1, 5, 6, 3, 2, 4.



Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.

Come on, we all know Tokyo Drift is the worst of them all.

Nah, it's a great movie. The only thing wrong with it is it's tied to Fast n Furious. If it was just some random car movie people would be much more receptive.

Viewing order

1-Fast 1
2-Fast 4
3-Fast 3
4-Fast 7

The rest I don't pay attention to...

TD is the worst by a mile IMO... mostly due to very poor lead acting, sparse action (compared to the other franchise entries) and the enemies never really causing the stakes to feel that high. The Boswell character was written to be completely unlikable and Black's awkwardness and accent make Diesel and Walker look like Oscar contenders by comparison.

6, 5, 7, 4, 1, 2, 3

Yeah, mine too. But mostly because it's so damn boring compared to all the other movies. It's still enjoyable though, and it also sets up some plot points for later movies.

My order is 5,7,2,1,3,6,4. Can't wait for #8!

"Sure - I just like TV better."

The cave scene was definitely the worst thing about the movie, I still have it ranked as the second best in the series after #5.

reply

It's so bad. That's fine, except it's such a huge part of the movie. If it was just a silly five minute stunt scene thrown in for giggles it would have been acceptable. I mean that newer scene where he's driving the exploding car in Cuba? That shit was every bit as stupid as the cave scene. Except it's a pointless scene, it doesn't matter, you can just ignore it.

reply

Nah the 2nd film was the absolute worst in the series, period.

I loathed this movie when it came out. I totally abandoned the franchise and had no interest every watching another Fast film until those bat shit bonkers Fast 5 trailers dropped with the rave word of mouth to follow. I still don't watch it when I marathon the movies. I think i've only ever seen it three times. It's so horrible.
