the first 30 minutes gets a 10/10 then...

Rating: 6/10 (29 April 2011)

I always get nervous when a movie trailer is a 10/10 in awesomeness...because nine times out of ten the movie doesn't live up to it. It's just sad because there are such little stupid things that could have been done differently to make this movie better.
First of all...The acting is awful! I like Paul Walker a lot but how does he keep progressively getting worse as an actor? On top of that he's supposed to be growing up and becoming brothers/partners with Vin but the script has Paul fawning for his attention like a little girl.
Remove Tyrese and Luda from the movie, get a REAL bad guy, improve upon Paul and Vins acting, Shorten the movie, more cars and less lame one - liners! I can't just blame the director or the actors for a bad script. Trying to write in actors to make the 2 biggest mistakes of the franchise make sense? NO! We just want to forget those movies and move on!
This is basically what happens when a movie is rushed and put together poorly. I would have gladly waited till august to see this to give them a few more months to get things right. Oh well. This movie did really kick off the summer with those exciting action scenes though!
