    Of course they could cure it, but the idea is not to. Its unrealistic for street racing with tons of traffic around to feel like they're driving on glass.

    I read it had the biggest opening weekend of the year in the US, I'm surprised it did so well!! Must be the Vin Diesel affect. Will try and see it this week.

    What's worse is using an American Muscle car as one of those drift cars. They were not designed for tight turns and super maneuverability for a reason. Or at least stripping it down is like torture to that car.

    I thought it was okay, better than 2 fast 2 furious.

    But there was way too much cgi used, the tunnel racing looked like crap because of it.

    Yea the tunnel scenes were mad hollywood. I don't think anyone could drive that fast through some catacombs without wrecking fenders and quarter panels or just completely ricocheting.

    However the story I thought was pretty good. It was the same director as in Tokyo. He did a good job bringing everyone back with this story. I'll def buy it on Blu Ray.

    Speaking of Tokyo, did you all know the scene where homeboy drifts UP the parking ramp was actually real? I swore it was fake and impossible. I forget the name of the guy who did it, but I believe he's the drift king in Japan.

    I want to see this movie but from the horrid reviews and the all too cliche "fast cars, hip hop, skanky girls" scene is really played out and frankly old.

    What else were people expecting from that title with a plot about street racing?

    You're lame if you let reviews tell you what to enjoy.

    Yeah it was real, guys name is Keiichi Tsuchiya and he's a straight monster at drifting. He's got some videos on youtube of him doing some drifts that are just unreal.

    Just came back from seeing it, it was surprisingly quite good but the cars in it weren't all that compared to previous installments in my opinion >.<.

    The cars are crap in all of them imo.

    They show the speedo and they're doing 120mph and the screen looks like its going 300mph

    Agreed!

    I hated the cars in this movie, apart from the Skyline don drove, and the STi he got later, all the other cars were just ugly (I just hate American cars and choose Import over muscle anytime!)

    Half the movie was showing them Up shifting but never downshifting, for some reason Americans think its cool to drive manual. I Take a manual car over automatic any day, but manual is all over Europe and Africa aswell as Asia and the middle east, only North America's standard is Automatic.

    The Tunnel scene's ruined the movie for me, I mean they made turns like i do in Wipeout and looked like they were going easily 500Kp/h!

    IMO, the movie had some funny scenes, but the fact that they didn't even throw in an Audi R8 is just pathetic, the one porsche in the move was just there for show lol...

    I give it a 6/10. Watch it in theatres only because it costs the same to rent

    What about the rs200 near the start lovely. It's only a replica but it's stunning.

    American muscle is great in its own ways. If you really know cars well then you would know they are very cool.

    And not all Americans think automatic is standard. So please don't generalize us.

    Well, I said I don't like American muscle, i didn't say its not great because it has its good sides, im just not a fan

    What I meant about thinking Automatic is standard is America including Canada, when you walk into a dealership or etc... majority are Automatic, driving manual is only by choice, auto is by trend. Sorry to generalize though, hope you get what I mean.
