Here's hoping this is the last, but after the huge amount of money it has taken already in the States, don't be surprised to see a 5th.

Isn't worth even the most forgiving action fan's time...

One of the film's biggest laughs is showing title credits. Clearly, after a prologue in which thieves play chicken with a burning, tumbling oil tanker, the possibility exists this is a Steven Soderbergh experimental gamble. Dumb, fun & entertaining.

Lin makes the few set pieces sandwiched between the many flat, talky scenes count as much as they can.

'Fast & Furious?' The stars of this sequel are more like Sluggish & Vaguely Grumpy, though it's nothing a little bit of fiber in their diets couldn't cure.

'Neat to watch' summarizes the film quite nicely. The revenge subplot that drives Fast and Furious is uninteresting since we haven't seen these characters in eight years.

Fast & Furious is a piece of junk, but at least it is an entertaining and endearing piece of junk. For a franchise I actively dislike, this is the best of the bunch.

General unoriginality contributes to 'The Fast and the Furious' series' own issue as a 'seen one, seen 'em all' series.

Fast & Furious could be called Grand Theft Autopilot. Lin knows that his demographic doesn't care about truth. They want to see stuff smash up - and in as outlandish and outrageous a way possible.

The dialogue resembled bad '80s porn with extreme overacting and cheesy one-liners. Ironically, Fast & Furious is like porn, you want them to shut up and get to the action!

works as a mindless collection of racing sequences and cool cars, made all the better because of Diesel's extremely likable bad-boy persona and a director who knows how to keep his foot on the gas, action-wise

It definitely could have used more humor and, according to the alpha males in my viewing party, more sex appeal...and we're not talking about injectors and camshafts.

With his sleepy-eyed gaze and biceps that no shirt can contain, Diesel quietly commands the movie.

What's amazing about this loud, lazy film (they couldn't even be bothered to give it a title) is that it's still entertaining

With Diesel anchoring the storyline, and director Lin dazzling us with his car crashing extravaganzas, Fast & Furious will likely unleash another series of sequels.

Furious entertainment for a moment of "populist rage." But it's hard to escape the feeling that Fast & Furious is more than a little...mechanical.

The ending leaves just enough of a cliffhanger that a fifth installment is all but guaranteed. If it's anything like this one, I'm down for the ride.
