Favorite Quote
Goddamn IT guys. - Hobbs
If is wasn't for the annoying camera work during the 'serious' scenes, the lack of plot continuity, the multiple times the movie should have ended but kept going, and my inability to suspend disbelief that much, it was good. I know, it was Paul Walker's last movie, and I can appreciate that, but it wasn't him I was disappointed in. I can suspend disbelief to a point, but dang... the movie crossed the line into ridiculousness in demanding that from the audience.
I didn't expect to see brilliant cinematic performances from the actors. It's an action flick - there were explosions, gun fights, fist fights, and, of course, fast car chases (yay!). What got to me though was Vin Diesel. I never really thought he was a good actor, but in the past movies, I bought his performance as Dom. This one, I just couldn't. I kept thinking he is starting to look old and fluffy. He started to annoy me. A lot.
Roman, Hobbs and Kurt Russell's character were pretty funny and the action scenes were very well done despite the outrageousness of them. The movie did have some redeeming qualities, but not enough for me to give it more than 5 ginger snaps.
