its a movie joy ride of summer! thanks to Yehey.com and Solar-UIP for the press screening at Podium Cinema.
The original cast of The Fast and the Furious is back again and its the 4th movie and the title is called Fast and Furious, just removing the word "the", I just saw in some sites that the title is Fast and Furious : Desert Run, I just wondering why didn't they used the tag line or just put a label part 4 on it.
After watching the movie, I just realized that this is not part 4. I won't post any spoiler in my movie review,but after watching the 1st 20 minutes, I just realized that this movie is connected to 3rd movie, The Fast and The Furious : Tokyo Drift. Some characters will pop out from the 1st 20 minutes and it took me a hard time to question myself and begin to puzzled it out, why is it that character is still alive? okay I get it. This movie is between the movie - Too Fast and Too Furious and Tokyo Drift, and not as a part 4. ( read more below of my movie review)
Okay, back to the movie review. The makers of this movie is a genius, they already stitched the 4 movies into one,and I'm I will be excited if ever they will make the 5th movie, because the story line is getting more interesting. The original Fast and Furious and the Tokyo Drift movie might collide in one movie soon ( not sure about that, but it is possible).
The story is will engage you into a long puzzle and feel the action pace with all those stunts and car actions. I almost cried to see a pick up truck customs in the first scene, and I love that opening action scene, it really did bring the feel of The Fast and the Furious. I will never mention here the bad acting of one of the actors, but I like the way the actor presented and so sad that the actor fell as a supporting cast only, (not Vin Diesel or Paul Walker). Boys love cars, I just laughed on my seat when Brian (Paul Walker) smiled and giggled like a kid when he got assigned to race again, choosing the hottest car and custom set up that is perfect for a car race.
The bad assness of the twosome team of Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is one of the most important scene and role ever in this movie. Michelle Rodriguez is so hot in here, and you'll love her when you see her, she's a chick after all!, also don't forget Jordana Brewster in the scene, I just remembered her as the "Nene" ( slang for young girl in Filipino) of the movie, but she tries herself to become younger, but it doesn't fail us to visualize, coz those smiles she have will blow you away. Also there's a new girl in the movie, and her name is Gal Gadot (Miss Israel 2004) , she's tall and hmm you'll find out her role here if you watch it, and if they're going to make another movie, I would love to see her back again. Omg, I'm talking about girls... ok let's shift to cars.
I'm no expert in cars, but I love the different set up and action they provided for Fast and Furious, I like this Subaru car and it is slick and cute, and also old visual effects and style will be experienece here, if you watched the 3 previous movies, you know what I am talking already. I say that this movie is the Bad Ass of all car movies, and thanks to Vin Diesel for making his role be the bad ass guy. I'm still having a hang over from last night's premiere, but I suggest that you come early and watch it on time, because missing the first 20 minutes will loss your momentum in following the main story of the movie.
The movie is 20 percent Angelic babes, 80 percent bad ass scenes and add another 100 percent pure Cars!
because I love cars, babes,actions and great movie music, my ratings will be.... see below
