Looking Forward to The Sequel

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2013)

This film was very enjoyable. I was engrossed in it all the way through. One particular part I liked the most was how they were literally against themselves and how Hobbs and Dom had to work together - which at first seemed unthinkable but I think this added so much to the film.
One thing I like in films is how they bring back scenes or moments from the previous ones so that it adds more emotion to the film and allows you to get into the minds of the characters. This film provided a fine balance of them and I feel that this added more depth to the film as it highlights their past and what they are still living with emotionally. One example I liked the most was when Dom was given the picture of Letty at the start of the film.
I must single out Gibson's character as he was so funny and how his one-liners had me in hysterics. I did get sentimental when they reminded him how big his forehead was.
The action was intense at times and at some points hard to believe because of the creativity. One of my favourite parts was the scene where they raid the convoy and try to steal the tank that it is transporting. The locations were intriguing as they were in different cities. One city that I found the most interesting was London. Because the city is so notoriously bad to drive in they made it look so easy. Also the scenes in the subway that actually made me zone out because I was just so into it.
Now.. the bad guy. I loved him; He was so methodical and calculating and reminded me of an evil Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) mixed with a psychopath.
One big twist was when they decided to let Shaw go as he had Mia being held captive. Then he says are you ready to go to the crew there and I assumed he was talking to Letty and then Hobbs assistant goes and I was like oh my god oh my god. This film had so many surprises and I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable.
