JUST HORRIBLE!Dec 11, 2003
By S. Ellison This movie showed us a whole new level of bad movies. From the unrealistic car scenes, to the abundant plot holes this movie has you falling asleep from the beginning. The first movie showed us that nitrous can make a car slightly faster, but the second movie showed us that nitrous will allow you to reach light speed somehow. When the cars in this movie use nitrous it somehow has the same effect as the space ships do in Star Wars when they travel through light speed. When anyone seems to use nitrous everything gets kind of burry and all you see are streaking lights like Star Wars uses. All the car scenes in this movie are totally unrealistic. The fact that we are supposed to believe that an EVO and an Eclipse are going to stand a prayer next to a Saleen Mustang, a Dodge Viper, and a Corvette Z06 is very insulting to anyone in the automotive world. The plot in this movie leaves nothing to the imagination as we are supposed to believe that this Paul Walker guy turns up missing and the police are after him, but then the next thing we know he is working for the police with his buddy who was also running from the law at one point. This is a movie that you want to miss!

Rev 'er Up!Jun 10, 2003
By MICHAEL ACUNA Fueled by the libidinous gas of Tyrese and Paul Walker, John Singleton's sequel to "The Fast and the Furious," "2 Fast 2 Furious" proves that Fast Cars, Fast Guys and Fast Women can still equal a pretty good movie. We're not talking "The Hours" or "Talk to Her" here, but I can think of several more expensive to make and/or bigger star vehicles that don't have this movie's charisma and charm. "2F2F" is shot in Caribbean, super bright primary colors and the Car race and chase scenes are as outstanding as those in "Ronin" and that is saying a lot. And even though some of the line readings are dull and non-ironic, Tyrese definitely emerges as a genuine talent. If there are any Drive-ins left in the world (and I hope there are)...this is the perfect drive-in movie: take a date, buys some dogs, popcorn, good-and-plenty and a vat of Soda and enjoy.

Mediocre sequel, although final 20 minutes aren't too badJun 13, 2004
By Kenji Fujishima The original FAST AND THE FURIOUS was brainless but reasonably entertaining, with a charismatic performance by Vin Diesel, a fairly interesting plot, and some very well-done action scenes. This inevitable sequel, starring Paul Walker (who played second fiddle to Diesel's character in the original) and Tyrese (as Diesel's "replacement"), hardly approaches the highs of the first film at all until the last 20 minutes or so, when 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS truly comes alive with a fun-to-watch car chase scene, some ingenuity, and some momentum. Until then, it's pretty mediocre, with a cookie-cutter plot, some wince-inducing dialogue (which tries way too hard to be "cool"), and bland car racing scenes. Thanks to Tyrese, who brings considerable energy and charisma to a badly underwritten but important role, it's still fairly watchable overall, but at least with THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS I wasn't annoyed with the dialogue and bored with the plot. Action fans can easily skip this one.

HOW?Dec 30, 2003
By Benjamin Tomasi The only reason I signed up for Amazon.com was to write a truthfull review. I would really give this movie a negative star rating or even a zero, but I cannot. Let me start off by saying that back in 2001, I saw The Fast and the Furious and thought it was the coolest movie in the world. I have since then matured and realized what a crappy movie it was and how much they don't have a clue about what they're talking about. Like how you can pop the hood and see a NOS fogger system AND, direct port nitrous injection AND, a stand alone fuel management system(and that's only in one scene). But away from the past, this movie is ten times worse. For starters, they turned it into a movie geared at only one audience, black people and people that like to copy them. With slang, rap music, hydralics and numerous other items from the "Hip Hop" community, this movie tries to blend show and go, but that is not really possible. Anyone that knows anything about cars knows that air bags, neon lights, big spoilers, chrome rims or just plain any rims over 17 inches, TV's, $10,000 stereos, and playstation 2's will not help you out in the speed factor of your automobile. It just saddens my heart to see what started off as a great phenomonon with the first movie, into neon lights and hip hop music. This is absolutly the dumbest movie about cars I have ever seen. The kids that like this movie think that cars that look cool and run 17 second quarter mile times are fast. They like to go crusing, and race other cars like their's and think when they win against a civic with exhaust their car is the fastest on the block. I also read a big feature article in Super Street, where they got to test the cars from the movie, and the cars times were SLOWER than stock. All the did for the movie was weigh them down with chrome rims and computer s***. I also found out they disengaged the all-wheel drive on the skyline, just so it could drift around corners to look cool. This movie really gives true car enthusiasts a bad BAD name. THIS MOVIE SUCKS. F*** YOU 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS.

People who hate this movie watched it for the wrong reasons...May 30, 2006
By Brandy 2 Fast 2 Furious is one of those sequels that comes around every so often that doesn't require you to have seen the original. I saw this movie for the first time not too long after it came out, and having never seen the original, I thought I would be lost and wouldn't enjoy myself as much as other people, but on the contrary - I left the experience much happier than when I came in.
This film is full of quick one-liners that deserve a laugh. The special effects and the car races will leave your mouth gaping open. I have heard and read that people didn't appreciate this film as much because it seemed to focus more on a plot than the first film did rather than focus more on the races, but overall, I think the balance works well. Even thinking of the plot that we are left with, I really can't see another time when a race would even be appropriate.
And as for people saying that this film is worse than the original, I would have to disagree...Why? Frankly, I have always been a firm believer than Vin Diesel is entirely overrated as an actor. (I mean, c'mon - Have you seen the Pacifier?) He's nothing more than a meat head who, while able to do pretty good fight scenes, should leave the dialogue to someone else.
Yes, this film is for the younger crowd, and there are numerous occasions when unbelievable events take place (take the boat jumping as an example), but there is no saying that an older person wouldn't enjoy it as well...The only thing that I will say is that you really shouldn't go into this film expecting an Oscar worthy performance, or else you will be disappointed. If you sit back and take this as the fun romp that it is, however, you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.
