Page 1 of Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Seen the trailers for this movie and `draggin` it out` doesn`t even come close. The only main differences are it`s in Tokyo (obviously) and all the cars take the corners sideways. There`s some undercover cop action (not from paul walker, but someone who just looks like him) and right at the end SPOILER:
\/in Diesel pulls up to challenge the mainprotagonist to a race.

There, now you don`t have to go and pay money to see it.

Thanks for that I haven`t seen the first two as I thought they were basically very bad Point Break rip offs.

I`ll stick with my classic 70s car chase movies, as there is no CGI involved just pure car driving skills.

Must say though, there`s been some great reviews of this on AICN.

They proberbly bribed him with loads of pwesents for a good review. Harry`s been known for sucking up to Hollywood in the past.

personally i will wait for the fast and the furious 4 ....the blackpool mile run (they race the golden mile in bumper cars) :D

So has anyone actually bothered to see this??

If you liked Fast & Furious 1 or 2 then you should like this. There`s less terrible CGi & a slightly better plot than in the 2fast. I still prefer the 1st film. But this is suprsingly good.
For pure entertainment i`d give it an 8/10.

You say pyscho like its a bad thing

Meh I thought it pretty much sucked. The first 2 are much better in my opinion, though the main girl in this is really hot which makes it slightly better.

There`s some good car chases but the emphasis on drifiting is way over the top. The script is pretty much a joke (not that I was expecting Pulp Fiction) and the first time you hear that the lead character is meant to be 17 had most of the cinema laughing as the actor is clearly about 25.

The driving was impressive but the script, acting, direction, editing and score were all dire! Most of the film consisted of cars flying around with the speakers blaring out a mixture of screeching tyres, revving engines and bass-heavy tuneless `music` constituting a full-on aural assault.

It wasn`t completely terrible but is definitely the weakest of the three; for complete dirge you need to go and see Ultraviolet, which makes Aeon Flux look like a film that was made by some of the brightest bods in Mensa!

I`m really surprised. I genuinely thought this would be a tightly scripted, well acted piece of cinema..

There was still a fair bit of CGi in this, but it was moslt done to do "cool" camera shots, to my recolection.

Some of the scipt was appauling, mostly the bits with Lucas Black. His accent was really odd too, it kept changing. I think the sub-characters had better written bits.

I thought the girl in this was nothing special. Not when compared with Jordana Brewster!

There was indeed a disclaimer at the end. Like im gonna go out the cinema and go driftin` home in my clio. Its pathetic they need them sort of disclaimers.
