  Since the first one was absolutely breathtakingly adrenaline pumping explosive car racing action packed, I had forgotten completely about 2 fast 2 furious 10 minutes later. But it is actually very well made. I could easily say that this film is amazing is it was made first, but that is not the case and there are the few loved characters from the original that have gone missing in this instalment, but putting that aside, I think it's safe to call this movie awesome! 2 Fast 2 Furious focusses on Brian O'Connor, the now ex-cop, who is working with the authorities, using his talents, along with his best childhood friend (Tyrese Gibson). Brian O'Connor must redeem himself in order to retrieve his badge again. This instalment in the "Fast and Furious" franchise is not the best, but it is a lot of fun!!!

  Inferior to its predecessor in every way, 2 Fast 2 Furious is the result of a lead actor refusing to sign on for a sequel, leaving the producers to recast, come up with an entirely new story, and loosely relate it back to the original so they can market it under the same name. Paul Walker does return as Brian O' Connor, only now he's moved to Florida and is no longer a cop. He's still into street racing, making new friends along the way. Then the FBI rehires him and his friend, Roman (played by Tyrese) to go undercover and help bring down Carter Verone (Cole Hauser), a notorious criminal who is dumb enough not to realize that most of the people around him are undercover agents. The racing sequences are as cool as you would expect them to be, and the plot follows a generally successful formula. It's just that this whole film feels more like a knock off of The Fast and the Furious than a sequel. It doesn't expand the story because all the characters are new. Director John SIngleton seems to be simply cashing in on the paycheck as he offers no grace or visual flair to the film. Eva Mendes is no Michelle Rodriguez, mainly because she can't act. Tyrese holds his own, but he doesn't have Vin Diesel's screen presence. The only significant thing about 2 Fast 2 Furious is that it reminds you how much better its predecessor is with respect to story, characters, and action.

  Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson develop a dynamic duo from start to finish in the sequel to Rob Cohen's "The Fast and the Furious". Though the real racing is somewhat replaced with CGI work, the sequel brings more excitement and thrills with a hint of laughter. 5/5

  A big greasy hamburger with extra cheese and pickles, Singleton serves up this typical formula cop buddy flick wherein the good guys drive tricked out import pocket rockets more than use their guns or their fists (but they'll do that too in a NY minute). The action happens in Miami so there's a drug money angle played, and mebbe some b-yatchs in thongs wrigglin' around somewheres too. A fantasy for 12 year olds boys.

  paul walker. that's my review. 2 1/2 stars

• Dead A

  
  This was so boring. I only enjoyed the ending. And I did expected Vin Diesel to be here not just his name you know!

• Eric A

  
  Loved the cars again, but a whole new cast aside from Walker made it not a worthy sequel.

• Wildaly M

  
  High-octane plot-less vehicle.

  Lordy Lord! Another crap sequel from the Hollywood stable of rubbish rehashes. I had low expectations of this movie....it doesn't have Vin Diesel in it for a start. But what I got was a collection of wooden actors and cheesy lines, interspersed with "race" sequences that made me laugh a lot. I should have realised it was going to be dire literally from the get-go. The Universal logo mutates into a chrome-plated wheel in the most irritatingly ludicrous manner. Spoilers ahead. So what is so horrible about this film? For a start the acting sucks worse than a Dyson. The opening race meet scene had me cringing in my seat, hoping it would get better. It didn't. Then there's the plot, or lack of one. Let's rehash the first film and nobody'll notice. Bah! The scripting is awful. The hero's buddy (name escapes me due to disinterest) actually steals something from a supposed drug-baron (again not sure if he was a drug-baron, was fighting the urge to read the paper at the time) whilst the latter is offering him a job. Come on! That makes about as much sense as ....well....nothing! You just would not do that, unless you were the world's most retarded individual. Sadly, his character survives the movie. Then there's the villain's two goons, who come across as stereotypical thick grunts who haven't had an original thought between them for years. Tiresomely predictable. The cars all look like they've escaped from a Scalextric set, with the exception of the hero's racer, which has had the "mobile tanning salon" upgrade. Damn, but he's gonna get skin cancer and cattaracts if he continues to drive that! Then you have to wonder just what sort of engine can accelerate a car from 0-80 in gasp!, only 20 seconds! Such speed! G-Forces pulling.....can't continue.....review.....must hit....brake! Yep, I could take my old Vauxhall Vectra out and give these machines a run for their money! Twenty seconds....sheeeshh! The crowning hilarity regarding the race scenes was that a) the cars apparently needed nitrous to reach 100mph, and b) When they hit the nitro the cars went into hyperspace. I'm serious! Everything blurred and streaked past. Everytime it happened I kept expecting to see Chewbacca pop up from the back, waving a wrench and going "Whoooaarrhg!" Give me a break! I have to say this had me in stitches every time it happened but I'm surprised they didn't resort to burning tire-tracks a la Back to the Future as well. So lame. Another annoying fact is that Hollywood seems to think that 80mph is fast and 100mph only reachable by real racer types. Obviously they've never been on any British motorway. And our hero clocked 150mph in his death-defying leap off a bridge. It would all perhaps seem more impressive than it was, if the streets were narrower, or you actually cared about any of the characters. Or that a motorcyclist wasn't clocked on the M1 doing 157 mph. And he didn't even have R2D2 on the back, much less Chewie. So, underwhelmed would be the best word to sum up this film. The racing isn't exciting, the acting is bad and the plot is some Miami Vice reworking with incredulous bits thrown in for bad measure. All in all, a better name for this film might have been "The Dull and the Repetitive" 2 lame 2 watch

  Just an ok sequel to "Fast and Furious". The series honestly doesn't feel the same without Vin Diesel, but Tyrese does infuse fresh blood. He is much more charismatic than Walker or Cole Hauser(the villain). The story is eh just ok, and it feels a bit dated, like it should have been an 80's movie(even though it came out in 2003). One of the weaker "Furious" movies, but still mildly entertaining all things considered.

• Melvin W

  
  Basically the same as the first, without the presence of the only thing that made the first one watchable, Vin Diesel. Bad acting, and horrible one liners makes it even harder to like.

  Its nothing without Vin Diesel. But this movie helps us get a hold of Brians past, and what he'd be like without his team in the original, and he kicks ass. The plot is less interesting from the first, but still harmless. The acting is good, I liked it. This movie was another… More
  Its nothing without Vin Diesel. But this movie helps us get a hold of Brians past, and what he'd be like without his team in the original, and he kicks ass. The plot is less interesting from the first, but still harmless. The acting is good, I liked it. This movie was another fine installment to the series. Tyrese Gibson is now my second favorite in the series (first is Vin Diesel.

  This sequel to the decent (B) movie The Fast and the Furious takes a slightly different path to expand upon the world and a character from its predecessor, and, while it at times seems close to warrant getting a slight recommendation, it's ultimately a little too rough and bland. Also, the title is really dumb. Like forehead smacking dumb. This is entertaining, and fun for a boring or rainy day, but it's also a letdown given the possibilities of the situation. The movie picks up with Brian, now an ex-cop, hiding out in Miami making money as a street racer. The feds from the first film catch up to him and offer him a deal to pay his debt to society so to speak in exchange for a clean slate. In order to assist him, Brian lenlists the services of a former friend from his childhood who also could use a clean slate and a fresh start. The goal is to get in good with a slick criminal who likes to use excellent drivers for various jobs and try to bust him. The premise is all fine and good, if somewhat derivative. The main problema are that the script is pretty thin, the dialogue is very hammy, on the nose, and at times trying so hard (but failing) to be "street" that it comes off as hollow, laughable, and worse than the dialogue from blaxploitation films. The film does give more insight into the tuner and racing cultures, but the first film did a better job. This one just gets by with bare minimum. There's a fair amount of humor, but sometiems Tyrese is a little too obnoxious. Walker is a little less wooden and bland than before, but he's still pretty plain. At least he still rocks the Chucks. Mendes is solely eye candy. I did like seeing Devon Aoki, though. Also, the presence of Mark Boone Junior shows that they were trying for something Jr. worthwhile, even if it doesn't all come together. That's a real shame too. John Singleton is a very talented director, but I have no idea what the hell went wrong here. Maybe they should have treated the story more seriously. Instead of being lazy and just phonong it in for the money, they should have tried more sincerely to make an enjoyable, well crafted, and meaningful film instead of just silly fluff. The cars look good, and there are some scenes that are decent, but a lot of this just got a little too goofy and annoying.

  This builds upon the outrageous nature of the first movie and takes it to a new level. With more nut ball schemes, goofy jokes and CGI cars. This continues the powerful story of Brian O'Connor, a man left broken after the first movie where he risked it all. Why this movie really is considered a gem in my book is with the addition of Tyrese Gibson as Rome. He is the ultimate tough guy, even dominating Vin Diesel. He spews out classic lines like, "We hoongry" and "CRAZY-ASS WHITE BOY!" This entry in the series actually doesn't try to be serious, it only want to be fun. Therefore, mission accomplished.

• Jason O

  
  Probably the best of the series

• Carlos M

  
  What do we have here? More fast cars, more badass action and races, more beautiful women, more hip-hop, more Paul Walker. Anything you miss like, let's say, Vin Diesel? No way!

• Anthony L

  
  More of the same rubbish. The fact that this film takes itself so seriously is laughable.

  Well, I'll never guess that I would like this franchise... The story was simple, but with a great modified car and the racing thing, I must say I'm impressed with this franchise... The first movie has stole so many people's attention and heart, but not too much with my attention... But when I saw this movie, I must say that I liked this movie... The story not bad, at least what story can you write to a movie that have more focus on the car and the street racing thing??? Overall, this movie entertains me a lot....Maybe Paul Walker still have to learn a lot that his handsome face won't winning everyone's heart in 10 years from now, so he should have an acting class more again... Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, and Devon Aoki really make this movie more interesting, but the one who steal my attention is Eva Mendes... Even her performance in this movie was a decent, but I like it... Nice and entertaining movie!!!
