Fast 5 - Awesome!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2011)

Saw this last night. It felt like the whole film was taken back to the original storyline with the best parts from all of the others combined. Full of excitement, fantastic race scenes, fights, thrills, mystery and a good storyline to boot. Although I felt "Suki" was missing, they have picked the best of the whole list of characters and bought them all together in one film with a surprising good addition from "The Rock".
At 1st I thought he might alter my perspective with his acting abilities but hats off to the man, he played his part well and added a crucially good character to the film, one to push Toretto to the limits.
The whole production shouted "here we are, this is the story as it was meant to be" and not detracted as in the Tokyo Drift version, even though I actually enjoyed it for a film in it's own rights.
there are, as always, parts of the film that have the imagination pushing believable limits but fuelled with the youth rush of excitement, you take it for what it is, enjoyable scenes with stretched reality that in all honesty, fits perfectly well within the story.
The only criticism I would offer is one that leaves the average fan missing the end. As an Avid enthusiast, I saw the WHOLE film.
