Fast Five - fun, fun, fun! Lots of car stunts, all of them pretty improbable, but all exciting. Some wild fights and chases and Dwayne Johnson being over-the-top. But since everyone is over-the-top, including the car chases, he fits right in. Even the critics had to admit it was summer fun and hey, don't try to explain it.

My favorite was the huge climax chase scene with the safe. Total fantasy, but well done and exciting fantasy!

Actually, it had quite a bit of plot. Could have had more car stunts :) I liked the heist aspect with car stunts in this one more than I liked the street-racing culture of the earlier movies. Only thing, not as heavy on the slashy aspect this time, unlike earlier movies.

Worth seeing? Oh yea. Even better in a movie theater.

Vin is a favorite of mine. Will I be all kinds of excited for him in this??

Oh yea. Vin was lots of fun in this. He's all 'family leader' and trying to be responsible for everyone with his growly voice and then getting all pissed off at the villain and making the plan to steal his money. Also the two fights between Vin & The Rock, both of them pretty awesome (though they whale on each other and neither is hurt... .yea right, hand wave). And then, lots of car stuff and gun fights.

Not much in the h/c way at all. It's all improbable stunts and car crashes they walk away from. However, Vin DOES get some emotional h/c that he does very well.

Okay, if this isn't slashy compared to the other movies, I really need to see the other movies, because I thought this had quite a bit of potential. XD I maaaay have already started writing some Hobbs/Dom. >_>

Movie #4 (Fast & Furious) is the one you should see :) Though doesn't have The Rock.

#1 is a high-watermark for the slashy too.
