OT: Fast and Furious Off To Huge Start

[LordRahl]

I can't believe the amount of money F&F 4 pulled in this weekend. $72 mil is unreal I would have thought $40 mil. Apparently, Diesel's career isn't quite as dead as I thought. I loved the first one, 2 and 3 were terrible. Polls seem to indicate people like this one better than the first so I'm looking forward to it.

My friend said it stunk. I will wait for it to be on HBO.

 

OT. He also said cloverfield was good.. I still havent forgiven him for that.

I actually did enjoy the 3rd one, mostly because of the Han character, really cool guy.

I guess his opinion would only be relavent if he liked the first one. If he didn't, it's probably just not his "type" of movie. It's not the kind of thing everyone would like.

I thought Cloverfield was good and I thought F&F 1 was good so if this is similar I'll watch it.

 

Being a car guy I always love a good car movie.

I liked all of them...

[MutantKeys]

First one was the best by far though.....

[Billy the Kidd]

Don't know why but I'm in no rush to see it ..

Cloverfield was good.

Pat was probably one of the guys vommiting with the women...

[Dark Knight]

Saw the movie yesterday and it was truly a great movie! If you like fast cars, action, and lovely women, than this is the movie to see. Great story and loving the muscle cars

Vin Diesel is like Stallone, he's popular, but only in very *specific* roles. Sly has absolutely no box office pull, unless you put him in a new Rocky or Rambo flick.

 

Same with Vin, the guy is DOA (he even cooked the Riddick goose with that horrible sequel), unless he's behind the wheel of a fast car.

Up until the stupid "Car Wars" segment, the first F&F movie was a surprisingly fun movie (love when Walker races Mr Ferrari - the look in Vin's face is classic), even though it was a total rip-off of Point Break, while the next two movies were absolute sheit.

He was good in Knockaround Guys, too.

I can't imagine taking these movies serious, ever. I mean, I'll go see it- but it's mainly to laugh at how absurd a premise is.

 

The third one was so bad...but the whole thing was so amazingly stupid that you can't help but go into these movies and approach them as if they're absurdist comedy.

My favorite part of F&F 1:

Your a woman!

 

Fast and Furious 1 was ok. 2 stunk.

 

Cloverfield pizzed me off, the wife too. Waited the whole movie for it to get good. And then the credits roled

Cloverfield might have been good if it didn't suffer from shaken camera syndrome.

Agreed..

 

Plus it needed more monster on screen

I saw it with my son this afternoon.The car stunts were cool as usual.I like Vin Diesel as an action character,just not sure if hes a great actor.Michelle Rodriguez,and the other actress who plays his sister are stunning.It was worth the matinee price,as I had a good time.
