The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift

Post by andysapp »

Comments, thoughts, reviews?

I know there's a lot of hype surrounding whether or not drifting will wind up with a bad name after this movie is fully released... but aside from all of that, what did ya'll think?

I thought the movie was actually pretty damn good. Maybe I went into it thinking it would be bad... but I really enjoyed it. It was fun looking at the details and seeing familiar cars, friends cars, familiar faces, etc.

Were there some corny lines? Here and there yes... but not bad. I felt the plot took a twist I didn't quite want it to at the end, but it's my understanding that the director didn't have the amount of time he wanted to write the script - and to me, the stuff towards the end felt rushed, so it kinda makes sense.

Anyway... I don't want to reveal anything until movie is fully released, but there are definitely some nice surprises throughout the film.

Overall, I think the film is pretty rad, and can't wait to see it again on Friday!
:D

I surprisingly enjoyed it! IMO, its certainly worth the price of admission.


on a side note.... thank you again for coming out to SEDAs FF3 premier. It was awesome having all the teams, shops, and sliders from all over the city come together and enjoy a night out.
In particular.... Batlground, Andy Sapp, Tiger Racing, Cool Cat Racing, and Top Hat, etc.

I agree with Andy, my low expectations made me appreciate the movie that much more. Deffinatley a good way to spend a 1:44. Thanks to SEDA for the hookup! I'm down to go again Friday.

I have to agree with like everything said. I went in expecting the biggest piece of crap with the worst dialogue/plot, but came out surprised. I actually enjoyed the movie enough, to like you guys said, come out and see it again maybe. It's really not bad, especially like that the use of CG was only in the last scene really and that was only like half cg/half driving. Pretty cool stuff. Oh, and I concur the girl was a 10 :shock:
