(Yes, this is a new category for me - branching out)
Okay, so this is a Hollywood movie. You HAVE to watch it with a suspension of disbelief. It was pretty good though. I liked this one a lot better then the 4th one. I thought the story was better and, well, they brought in The Rock! I do like the muscles on that man. And he is much hotter than Vin Diesel, but I digress.
The acting was better in this movie then the last, but it was still somewhat mediocre. It wasn't bad, just not really noteworthy. I'm just commenting cause it was an improvement over 4. And did I mention Dwayne Johnson is in it? Oh right...
The car crashes and fights were pretty good. That is why I added the 'Fight Staging' category to this review. I'm thinking that my rating is more a review of the 'action coolness factor', but fight staging sounds smarter.
I recommend the movie. It is predictable, but hey, the explosions and guns make up for that. It was a bit odd knowing that Paul Walker isn't alive anymore. RIP dude. I'll miss these movies.
Favorite Line: When I win, I'll buy you a lifetime supply of antidepressants.
Favorite Scene: Gisele driving the course like a badass (Go Women Power!!)
