What the hell did you expect?

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2002)

Ok, I've read a bunch of the other reviews on IMDB about this movie. Come on. What the hell did you expect? Oscar caliber performances? I mean this movie was obviously about fast cars and hot women. If you couldn't tell that by the trailers then you *deserve* to lose the two hours of you life most reviewers complained about. Go rent Casablanca or something. The cars are slower, but you'll probably enjoy it much more.
That being said...
I though this was a great movie...for the low/young talent, big budget action movie that it is. The cars are fast and shiny. The women are fast and shiny. Sure the acting is sub-par, the plot is non-existent, and disbelief must be suspended to watch it, but if you're expecting more from a movie about cars with a title as un-original as "The Fast and the Furious" then maybe you ought to stop and evaluate where the real disconnect takes place between the quality of Hollywood movies and the people who see them.
And yes, this movie made a butt-load of money because it was targeted at the 18-35 male demographic, because guess what...they spend the most money!!!
