I enjoyed it...

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2002)

Okay, here we go. I like to consider myself and intelligent individual, so when I was reading comments I was surprised to see such things as " if you have an IQ of over 80 stay away from this film" and other comments like "the film spent too much money on the cars and couldn't afford good actors" (or something to that notion...). I personally am the type of person that appreciates a good film with a good story line, great actors, and deep underlying concepts.. but give me a break. Not every movie is made for that reason. The reason I enjoyed The Fast and the Furious is quite simple... it has something for everyone... well, almost everyone, there are always the people who can find something wrong with it. It has fast cars, actors people like to see on the screen along with some fresh faces, characters that people identify with, and an action packed storyline. What more could you want? Some say the dialogue wasn't so great... okay, what exactly would you say when you wanted the tuna fish sandwich? The dialogue fit in with the situations they were in... you couldn't expect more. So, to sum it up, I liked the Fast and the Furious for the simple reason that it was an enjoyable, action packed film with likeable actors and dream-like cars.
