Still fast but Not so furious!!

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2011)

With faster Cars, hot girls, great action sequences, the return of many characters from the previous versions of the franchise, Vin Diesel vs The Rock Dwayne Johnson-the two big bald heads of Hollywood going at each other in the back drop of gritty, narrow streets of Brazil-this fifth movie of the franchise had all the ingredients to make this the best one in the series.
But unfortunately it is let down by a poor story and poorer acting by surprisingly everyone in the cast (except for the cars, of course). There has been an attempt to intentionally make every scene too tense and every dialogue a "one liner", which wasn't necessary.
But, with the basic essence of the movie(the cars, the chases & great action) still retained, fans of the franchise will still love it. Overall, this movie still makes a pleasant viewing and is definitely better than the previous version.
