Fast and Furious 6 Review
Fast and Furious 6 is one of those films you will just want to see because of the other films thinking its going to be amazing and reading all these reviews and seeing the 5 star ratings. Yes it is an extrememly good film but its not the best one in the series. Its a very fast paced action movie with lots of cars, guns and racing. They have luckily brought back more of a variety of cars and kept the fast rediculous driving. Lots of people said Fast and Furious used to be all about the cars but they followed the story more and lost the cars element of it but luckily they have found a way to balance them both together which I think makes the film a lot better.
The story
The 6th film follows on from straight after the 5th one, the opening scene is Dom and Brian finishing off their race in the Dodge Challenger and the Nissan GTR. They all go there seperate ways living off in their millions from their job in Rio but Dom and Brian still remain best friends and with Brian a father now they become even closer. Agent Hobbs played by 'Dwayne Johnson' quickly finds them and instead of coming to arrest them he asks for their trust and for their help. The team once again come together as what they constantly call 'family'. They find out Dom's old lover letty is still alive but has lost all memory of her past, including her friendship with the crew. They all work together to track down a ruthless murderer who just wants to cause pain and suffering but they know exactly what Dom and his crew and going to do.
Personal Opinion
Fast and Furious 6 don't get me wrong but I don't think it's the best out of the lot, but it's got a mixture of the old style fast and furious as well as the new story of fast and furious. They go back to the street races with custom made cars which I think what some people miss in the franchise. Some of the action is amazing but if you have seen the film I think most will agree that some of it is quite rediculous where Letty falls off this long and very high bridge and Dom crashes his car in such a way that he literally flies into Letty and lands on the other side of the bridge. I've also heard lots of people mentioning about the run way at the airport in the final bit of the film and how long it goes on for, I noticed it when I watched the film too, this final takedown lasts about 15 minutes and in the whole 15 minutes the plane is taking off and is about 50 metres from the ground and it continues at that altitude until the end of the film and it makes it very unbelievable if I'm honest. But despite all of that its not a bad film, they have still got what I love in the fast and furious films which is the humour of Tyrese Gibson, and in this film he doesn't fail to entertain. The cars are also as wacky as ever such as the vintage ford to the Ferrari Enzo. I do think its a very good film but its just a pretty average film but when I saw it in the cinema I did think there was one thing where it tripped over itself, they mention that London is the most watched capital in the world but about 10 minutes after the go to a street race gathering where we meet the famous RitaOra and street race straight through the middle of London. I would recommend giving it a watch but I would wait until it becomes available on DVD/BlueRay.
7/10
