For those who have seen it - did you like The Fast and The Furious?

I'm curious - some people seem to say it was too cheesy, the other half say it was the best movie ever

Uhmmm I dunno...depends what you want from the movie.

Story: 2
Action: 6.5
Sweet cars: 8
Adreniline rush: 11 ;)

Overall it was fantastic, I loved it. It is really really mindless though. But it's one of the funnest (as in fun, not funny) movies I've watched in a long time.

Don't go expecting a good story and you shouldn't be dissapointed.

It's alot of fun to watch :) But we have a dragstrip here in town, and I love going to the Friday night Street-legal races, even when I don't participate (We have a 1/4 mile drag, a 1 mile oval and 2 mile road course at race city).

Go expecting a good story and you will feel dumber after watching :)

Can't beat the sound of a 1970 Dodge Charger with a blown 426 Hemi rumbling to life on a Famous Players Paramount quality sound system :D

(You will note my bolding of the 70, the movie claims it to be a 69 charger, which it is not, it's a 70).

I didn't see it but was surprised that it made over 40 million this weekend. That is a major bit time opening weekend! I'm also surprised by the amount of interest this film has garnered on this forum. I wasn't even aware of the racing subculture this film appeals to.
