Has anyone seen 2 Fast 2 Furious - Nubblies.net Forums

malibu · 06-19-2003, 03:04 AM

I was wondering if anyone has seen 2 Fast 2 Furious. A friend of mine said something about going to see it but I wanted to know if it is worth the 7 bucks or not. Any review feedback would be helpful.

I recently saw the movie, and to tell you the truth, it wasnt as good as the first one. There were a few unrealistic scenes which although rare, ruin the excitement. The only advantage 2 has on 1 is, more humor. Not so much to make you die laughing, but a good chuckle here and there gives it the advantage.
The abscence of the few originals really depleted the movie as a whole. The loss of Dom (Vin Diesel) and his gang, make you think its a totally different movie, instead of a sequel. The plot was also very reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
I liked the movie, i'd see it again and again. But, not as good as the first.

Just my opinion.

much appreciated undisputed... I figured that since Vin Diesel was gone, it would definitely rob the movie of something

undisputed · 06-19-2003, 03:37 AM

He was pretty much irreplacable, led to much of the success of the first one.
Tyrese does a good job as being the "wingman" of Walker. But doesnt give off the "im gonna kick your ass" attitude, but more of the "ya can't help but love me" persona.

If you liked the first one dude, you'll like the second one.

good to hear

Uh, both tonguegina and I saw this movie the other night, and both of us agreed it is better than the first one. So yeah...there ya go.

I saw it about a week and a half ago and I will say it's definitely better than the first, I thought the overall plot was much better and thought out and the movie in general was much better.

Combat Chuck · 06-19-2003, 04:33 PM

I find it funny that people feel that the absence of Vin Deisel makes the movie worse. I never thought I'd see the day....

Fruitacious B · 06-19-2003, 06:30 PM

Amen to that.

tonguegina · 06-20-2003, 12:18 AM

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.

Please, Vin's part in 'Saving Private Ryan' was a walk in the park. I admit though, his shit in Boiler Room was commendable. But for his track record, that doesn't put him on worthwhile star status in my book.

malibu · 06-20-2003, 02:47 AM

Thank you all for your input. I think I will be venturing to the theater soon to see the movie.

Saint DH · 06-20-2003, 03:36 AM

I liked it.

malibu · 06-20-2003, 03:59 AM

I may be mistaken, but I was just wondering if this was actually in the movie or if my mom was just lied to... She said something about how they put a bucket over a rat on this guys lap and put a fire over it in order to get the guy to talk...

StabMaster Arson · 06-20-2003, 04:13 AM

I thought the first one was fucking horrible so I won't pay to see this one... I saw parts of it on an advance copy from dvdkings.owns.it and wasn't impressed. if you want to see a good movie with emphasis on cars watch 'Taillights Fade', 'Bullit', 'American Graffitti', 'Rebel Without a Cause', 'Christine', 'Cannonball Run', 'Gumball Rally', 'Born to Run', 'the Chase', 'Smokey and the Bandit', 'Tucker', 'Two Lane Blacktop', 'White Line Fever', or 'The Itallian Job'. Cars and movies... two of my favorite things.

Combat Chuck · 06-22-2003, 10:32 PM

'Rebel Without A Cause'...'Cannonball Run'....'Smokey and the Bandit'....excuse me while I drool....fucking great movies.

Trout Sniffer · 06-24-2003, 05:09 PM

I saw 2 Fast 2 Furious last week and this movie is awesome. It is a lot better than the first one with a much better plot. Almost everyone that I have talked to liked it more than the first one. I liked the cars more too cause they had some American muscle cars in it instead of just souped up imports and stuff. Of course they had their little mitsubishi's and stuff, but the also had some nice cars from the 60's which were very pimp.
