Chuck - So, yeah, Vin is actually a pretty good kid. He's just made some bad decisions on the roles he's most recently picked. Look at some of the earlier movies he's been in, "Saving Private Ryan" or "Boiler Room", they are both great movies that he's had a big role in...and he does a decent job. You work at Blockbuster, if you haven't seen them, check them out.
As for the second Fast and the Furious, it is much better than the first. There is simply no contest. The reasons are two fold:
1)There was actually a plot. This was definately missing in the first film. Unlike the first one, this movie actually kept my attention, and I was interested in what happened.
2)There were no extreneous car scenes. Although this is what made the first one a hit, they were pointless. The movie would start moving along, then they would have a race out of no where, and I was never quite sure why. It just didn't fit in the movie. Now, while this movie still has races and whatnot, they at least help to move the plot along, and work in the film.
Yeah, so if you kind of enjoyed the first one, you'll love the second one. If you hated the first one, you should be able to tolerate the second one (that's me). And if you loved the first one, you might not like the second one as much, because you're a fuckhead to enjoy the first one that much in the first place, and don't know what makes a good movie.
