Viewing Notes

I’m not a Fast and Furious franchise fan boy, though I thought the first movie was decent. So I was surprised that I actually kinda enjoyed Fast Five. I won’t say I went into it with a negative attitude, but I wasn’t expecting much.

At times, it felt like I was watching a remake of Ocean’s Eleven with the goofy “Here’s what we’re gonna do” lines from Vin Diesel (I have a hard time picturing him doing that much critical thinking) but that’s probably more to its credit than a negative.

To be sure, there are some ridiculously outlandish things going on in this movie, but that’s really the point, and the fun, of it all.

This was another $3 matinee at my local cheap seats first-run theater, so we more than got our money’s worth. My kids weren’t entirely happy that I picked this over Pirates of the Carribean 4, but they enjoyed it more than they thought they were going to.

I’ll have to watch this again after revisiting the rest of the series though, as there were more than a few references to previous plot elements that I missed.
