First let me say I did not see any of the FAST AND THE FURIOUS movies (nor did I really desire to see them) until I saw FAST FIVE yesterday.  What an incredibly entertaining piece of summmer fluff.  Fast cars, hot chicks, punching, shooting, explosions . . . what more could you ask for?

I enjoyed it so much it made me want to go back and watch the earlier installments.  I assume all be disappointed though.  They couldn't possibly match this one.

Any movie that features a chase scene with two cars dragging a steel vault through the streets of Rio de Janeiro ansd destroying just about everything in their path is okay in my book.

Personally I don't think you will be that disappointed if you liked that one. It's pretty much the same with all of them.

2 Fast 2 Furious is my personal favorite.  As I mentioned in another thread, none of the sentences seem to be longer than 3 words due to poor acting abilities.

I like them all and I'm not a gear head or anything. I just find them to be very silly yet entertaining. I recommend you give them a go.

Fast Five looked a hell of a lot classier than the others, in terms of look and action.

The others are a little silly [especially 2 and 3]

4 wasn't horrible, and 1 has it's place in cinema history just because of timing: now it's super tacky to have souped up Rice-rockets, but back then it was still kinda cool and hit on a trend as it was on the upswing.

That's provided you can get over Paul Walker and his use of the word 'bra'.

You are lucky, The Burgomaster. This installment has grossed more money at the box office than any of the others. Thus, there will probably be a sixth installment sometime later next year.

Yeah, they are definitely planning more sequels.  Did you stay after the credits?

I quite enjoyed this one.  It's the best of the series.  Well, I didn't see all of the second one, but what I did see convinced me this is the best one.  And how often is that true?  A fourth sequel being the best of them all?

Good action scenes, almost every character is likable, some funny lines, and a great climax - one that doesn't even try to be plausible or apologize for it, but a lot of that gets forgiven due to the real world nature of almost all the destruction. 

Film is an 8/10.
