EPTThis is a warning to anyone who hasn't seen this yet. If you are expecting a "great" movie, then don't watch this. This is a mediocre film in all aspects.
I apologize to all the hardcore fans, but this is my honest opinion.

And I can't wait to see this movie, such a cheap adrenaline rush but they've been awesome in the past. There is barely any racing in Fast Five. It's basically a heist movie, that focuses on the characters as a whole...which is why it's basically more accessible then the past films. It's like one, big happy reunion. I have a feeling it may disappoint those who were expecting racing, but for most, it's basically the first "summer" action movie of the season and it does that really well. And as has been mentioned before, the after credits scenes leads to an obvious sequel, so I'm expecting more heist movies. | ||

Yeah I didn't like it. Imo a film doesn't have to be an artful masterpiece to be good, but 'it's just entertaining' validates pretty much any film as acceptable. Even Transformers 2. | ||

Just the mental image of a guy sitting in the cinema watching the film with a serious face and narrowed eyes; 'Man...the Rock looks really sweaty.' | ||

It was a good popcorn flick. I don't think it should be so highly rated though. It bugged me that a lot of the gunmen in the movie seemed to have never held a gun before, and how + Show Spoiler + a certain character just dies out of the blue | ||

I was just showing an example to a situation that happened in real life. If you think that, then you're pretty pathetic.

Letty looked like she was completely dead in the 4th movie but somehow she's still alive as seen by Hobbs. Han is also a fan favorite so I'm sure they'll find some ridiculous way to bring him back to life. + Show Spoiler + I only watched the last movie once, but wasn't the scene of Letty's death, Dom's imagination? If so, they can use that as a way to bring her back. As for Han... he died in a car explosion with the main character witnessing it lol. Some people street racing only to get caught | ||

Do you expect people to find entertainment in everything you like? Most people will think Starcraft is "genuinely" boring and a waste of time. What about [randomprogamer] clicking on some units quickly entertains people? Not everyone wants to watch American History X when they want to watch a movie. Fast 5 was filled with over the top action, and was a "fun" movie and that's what makes it entertaining. Anyways, the movie was great and any Han scene is welcomed. | ||

It all depends on expectations and opinions. If you want to watch a movie for mindless action then something like Transformers 2 was entertaining. There are times when I just want to watch a bunch of robots blowing the shit out of each other instead of just thinking about the plot. There are people out there that are able to do that and as such the movie is entertaining. Same thing for this. You are obviously not such a person and that's fine...but that's what it is. Went into the movie expecting fast cars and chases and some over the top action. That's what I got and so I'm happy. It wasn't a masterpiece by any means but it did what I was expecting. | ||

I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Even if it's formulaic and stupid, it's still a lot of fun. 3.5/5 | ||

Yet some people still try to pull it off ^^ | ||

It was more of a heist movie than a racing movie. Thats fine with me though, as I love seeing a good old cop-smash-fest. At least the corrupt idiot got what was coming to him. | ||
