Action-filled, badly scripted, probably enough to entertain a child...

Rating: 4/10 (27 May 2013)

At first I thought it could be fun, otherwise why would they make a 6th movie? I even checked the reviews on this site, it had a fair amount of critical acclaim, so I thought - why not?
It wasn't until characters like Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson started speaking their lines, that I realized how poorly written the film was... I'm surprised IMDb have even bothered to add "memorable quotes" because there aren't any. I would have expected a better script from a children's film, it was so cliché - but that was probably to be expected.
Don't get me started on how unrealistic some of the scenes were, the most surprising was the final runway scene, where the plane kept on going for 15 minutes, surely the runway would've ended? But you probably saw enough of that in the trailer.
Overall, the film had a good production value, some of the backdrops were impressive and quite well directed, but if I were the director, I wouldn't want to be seen on set with some of that acting.
I would only watch for the action scenes which are cliché but still pretty impressive.
