Fast & Furious 6...1 out of 4 Skittles

Rating: 2/10 (5 July 2013)

So after 6 installments of the Fast & Furious franchise this is what we know for sure1. A good story and/or script aren't necessary to have a successful movie franchise, 2. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson really likes his muscle juice and 3. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker still can't act.
Fast & Furious 6 (Dear Godwhy have you people let them get to 6) is absolutely ridiculous. And not the good kind of ridiculous likedid you see what Walter White just did on the last episode of Breaking Bad kind of ridiculousI'm talking about the dumbest, most absurd, I can't believe people actually go to tanning beds and purposely get beamed with cancer rays kind of ridiculous.
The first few Fast movies took themselves soooo serious it actually made them kind of funny to watch. Similar to seeing an episode of Honey Boo Boo on TVit's mindless good fun, but after a while you just need a shower to wash the stench of stupidity off yourself. But the sixth installment has gone off into a distant planet that has yet to be discovered. Is the film campy? Are they intentionally trying to make a bad movie, or is this all a joke that Hollywood is playing on us to see just how stupid the audience actually is? It's hard to saybut one thing is for surethis is not a good movie no matter what the bulked up nimrods at your gym tell you.
The story is just plain dumb, the dialogue is unrelatable to the way any humans I know speak, and the action sequences are so unbelievable they make The Avengers movie seem like a true story. These characters literally jump from car to car traveling at top speeds, and walk away with minor scratches. Are you kidding me? At least John McClane gets a little bloody when he leaps through glass windows in all the Die Hard movies. **Spoiler Alert** Vin Diesel's character actually gets shot in the chest, then pulls the bullet out himself, and walks away like nothing happened. Seriously???
I get itmost people go to the movies to escape their normal boring lives. You want to see unusual people doing unusual things, but seriouslyif your life is so hard pressed for escapism that you find these Fast & Furious movies entertaining then it's probably already too late for you. I hope you enjoy the next Honey Boo Boo episode, because intelligence has waved bye bye to you for good.
