Overall: While this movie does include some enjoyable elements, I don't think it deserved a franchise to spawn from it. Most of the lead actors were pretty weak, the story was meh but it was pretty entertaining. It is also a very quotable movie with 'You can have any drink... as long as it's a Corona' being a quote that has become surprisingly popular. The movies main focal point(its races) were also pretty weak which is stupid considering that was what this franchise was founded on. In conclusion, it's enjoyable and I recommend it, but don't expect much.
The types of people who will like this movie will be people who enjoy car movies and movies including races.
Would Recommend.

Paul Walker was fine as Brian O'Connor and the supporting cast was reasonable. Vin Disel was very weak as Dominic Toretto and he's just not a very good actor. People say that he 'keeps this franchise together' but I argue it would be better without him. It's been proved he can't act and that's never been so obvious that these movies.
I liked the ending. The premise and overall story, however, were very stupid and didn't work.
I liked the cinematography for the most part but I feel like the actual RACE sequences were very poorly done and looked incredibly stupid.
The effect were pretty poor. The actual set and costume design was nice.
This movie was entertaining from start to finish and that is what it set out to do so I will assume it succeeded in that respect. It also introduces all the characters well and gives them reasonable roles in the story.
I will say that the dialogue in this movie is actually not terrible and 'You can have any drink... as long as its a Corona' is just a fun quotation. I will also say that the music didn't fit for the most part and felt out of place.
Personally, I enjoyed the movie all the way through but its not something I can see myself going back to constantly because I just don't see much point to it. It has its moments and some scenes were cool but it just doesn't provide enough to kick off a franchise nor does it deserve to be this popular among fans.
6/10
