Just cheap, hollywierd-type acting/storyline etc.  i mean, do the car sequences in F&F match Bullitt etc.

No!

i think these movies are meant to cater to people who are not nessesarily into cars or car people.  This, in itself, is not nessesarily a good thing.

If you are going to make a car movie, do it right.


2) A mitsubishi eclipse as one of the main character cars?  COME ON!  i mean, 40 yrs after Bullitt people are still in awe over the whole sequence and the cars as well.  Do you think anyone will care about an eclipse of all cars?
This is another measure of how good a car movie is-----pick a good car.  Even a vega or chevette would be more memorable.


i remain severely disappointed.

I haven't been disappointed by a single Fast/Furious installment.  They are exactly what I expect them to be every time.  An illogical, poorly-scripted, computer-animated bit of car cinema garbage.  The days of Bullitt, Vanishing Point, American Graffiti, Two Lane Blacktop, Smokey and the Bandit, etc. are over.  To be fair, these movies have no script to speak of either (with the exception of American Graffiti), but the plot was simple and believable and the car chases pure and unadulterated.  Todays car movies are all about absurd computer-animated stunts, incomprehensible plots, and liberal doses of pop culture.  Get used to it.

That said, the truck is cool.

Just because you have a negative opinion doesn't mean the movies are crap. Calm down...

That's a wicked truck!  I hope they don't destroy it in the movie.   What really irked me about the very first movie was that they flipped and totally trashed the only good car in the movie, that old mopar.  so I haven't watched the other ones....

ditto on the Charger, felt the same way myself. I heard that it's brought back to life in this one.
