Very disappointing...

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I gotta say that, every time I watch this movie, I get excited because it is so much fun to watch. That's the thing about these movies; they may be ridiculous, but they are soooooooo much fun! It is clear that everybody on this film had an absolute blast and I loved every minute of it!With that being said, the thing that I like about the series now is that it isn't just focused on the cars. I feel like the earlier installments, while still fun, were somewhat all style and no substance. Yes, I know that I'm talking about the Fast and the Furious movies, but it felt like this one had an actual plot outside of fast cars racing down the street. It was entertaining; it wasn't just nice looking.As said before, the actors all had a lot of fun with this movie. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, of course, are the guys that heads the crew, while the rest of the crew are their usual, wisecracking and fun-loving selves. I particularly enjoyed seeing Gal Gadot pre-Wonder Woman. This time, they are joined by one of the most entertaining people in the acting business, Dwayne Johnson. Johnson was made for a series like this, and he gives it all he's got in a various amount of action set pieces.My one complaint is that the villain felt a little one-note. I didn't feel like there was any motivation for him, other than revenge. But, that is only a minor complaint, as the film itself was great!Definite recommend!

Great action, cool stunts, much thrill and suspense build-up you would expect from a Fast & Furious title. I was really satisfied with the story and the acting. Not only does this movie start on a strong note, but the ending ticks all boxes. If you'd like to watch great action flick with a few laughs along the way - I say that this movie is a must-see!

Directed by Justin LinStarring Paul Walker, Vin Disel and Dwayne JohnsonPlot Overview: ​Ever since ex-cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and Mia Torretto (Jordana Brewster) broke her brother Dom (Vin Diesel) out of custody, they've traveled border to border to evade authorities. In Rio de Janeiro, they must do one final job before they can gain their freedom for good. Assembling their elite team of car racers, Brian and Dom know they must confront the corrupt businessman who wants them dead, before the federal agent (Dwayne Johnson) on their trail finds them.Very rarely is a sequel better than its predecessor. It's nigh impossible for the third to hold up. The fourth being good is rare. The FIFTH being the BEST is unheard off and is a testament to how enjoyable this movie is. It was birth of a new franchise and set the precedent for how these movies have gone. It has the best acting in the franchise, arguably the best story and is by far the funnest movie in the franchise. The action in this movie is amazing and the finale is just awesome. I definitely recommend you watch this movie; it is awesome.The story was basic but served its purpose. It's a really good heist movie and is stupidly enjoyable. The ending was also amazing and, while it did follow Heist movie clichés, it followed them well and made them work.Paul Walker was alright as Brian O'Connor and Vin Disel, for the first time in his entire career, showed ACTUAL EMOTION in a character. I mean if this movie can do that then that warrants a watch. Jordana Brewster was good as Mia. I don't buy that O'Connor, Torretto and Mia would do what they do. Their motives were pretty weak for the movie. Dwayne Johnson was amazing as Hobbs and revitalised the entire franchise. If you ditched this franchise before this movie, Johnson made this franchise go from 0-60 in less than a second of his performance. Tyrese Gibson was OK as Roman Pierce but he still plays the same annoying character in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS MOVIES!!!! Ludicrous was alright as Tej as was Sung Kang as Han. Gal Gadot was fine as Gisele. Elsa Patansky was also alright as Elena Neves. Something I will say is that while characters like Torretto and Hobbs got plenty of screen time, characters like Han and Tej were left in the dust and had little to no development. I also don't believe that Hobbs would switch sides like that. The villain was also insanely weak and was just terrible.The cinematography was fine and I could actually see which was much better than 4. The effects were also pretty good and blended well with the actual movie. This movie was an all around fun movie and was insanely enjoyable. It needed to improve on its cinematography from 4, which it succeeded but also needed to improve on its villain, which it failed.In conclusion, this movie was so enjoyable and is easily the best movie in the entire franchise. If you haven't seen this movie, I definitely recommend it because it is just great fun.8/10Would Recommend

"The strength of Fast & Furious: even faster, and now FAST & FURIOUS 5 is that it is a very united group that lives following moral and ethical codes on one side or another of the law," explains the producer . "Dom has a code, Brian has his own, and even this new character, Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, has one. These codes create friction and conflict, increasing tension. It's great to see how sparks jump. " Vin Diesel, speaking of the reaction of the followers, says: "There are not many action films like ours that revolve around the family or, rather, a family of marginalized and misfits. We saw it in The Fast and the Furious and it happens the same in FAST & FURIOUS 5. The saga is based on a brotherhood that communicates something to the public. It symbolizes the family to which the viewer wants to belong because it will not abandon him, like Dom and his people. " Followers made it clear that they were impatient to see another delivery. Paul Walker recalls Fast & Furious's enthusiasm: even faster: "When we saw how successful he was, we knew there would be a fifth. Normally, the followers ask when the next one will come, but this time they did not ask, they affirmed it ".Adda Annotation Neal Moritz and Vin Diesel, who produce the film, were aware that the next installment had to overcome all of the above. They turned to director Justin Lin, whose work in the two previous installments proved that he could combine a story based on characters with insurmountable action scenes. He was the ideal person so that the spectators did not think that they had already seen it before.Add Annotation The filmmaker, a follower of the saga from the first installment, The Fast and the Furious, knew exactly what he wanted. The film had to be based on an impeccable casting with really amazing action scenes. "There were still a lot of things left to discover," he says. "I am very grateful to the study for not wanting to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Thanks to this, the saga has been able to grow, evolve and mature. That's why I agreed to direct this new delivery. The basic theme of the saga is the family. The fourth installment explored the element of sacrifice that involves the family. As soon as I saw that the next one would deal with freedom and the family, I did not hesitate to return. " He knew that if he directed his third installment, the expectations of the followers would be very high: "The action in this film is greater than in the previous two together. There are about six action scenes, not just car chase, but also walk and steal. The film overflows action ". Although everything had to increase to satisfy the public, the action scenes would not make sense without the foundation of a good story, in which the heroes struggle to protect the family no matter what. Screenwriter Chris Morgan, another regular in the saga, joined Justin Lin to make sure the script reflected this vision. The preparation of FAST & FURIOUS 5 was at lightning speed. Chris Morgan, whose action-packed blockbuster scripts like Wanted / Se busca, Fast & Furious: even faster and A Todo gas: Tokio Race have earned him a well- deserved reputation as a scriptwriter specializing in action dramas, The work once more. "For me, each new installment of the saga is an extension of the first," he says. "It's always a privilege to go back to a story based on strong characters. This saga goes much beyond the races and the tuned cars, it speaks of a community, of a family of pilots ". Chris Morgan and Justin Lin have developed their own style in previous films. "Having the beginning of the filming around the corner forced us to put the batteries," explains the writer. "Justin and I attacked the story very differently, but when we started working together, I do not know what's going on, we always end up following the same path." The idea of ​​reuniting more characters from previous films emerged during the pre-production of Fast & Furious: even faster, but since the plot was focused mainly on Dom, Brian and his companions, it was decided to leave this possibility aside. Neal Moritz says, "When we saw the public reaction with Vin, Paul, Jordana and Michelle together again, we all thought the same thing: 'What if we met them all?'" Vin Diesel was convinced that the tandem Dom-Brian could star in another chapter of the franchise: "Of course, I wanted to continue with the story and I always thought of three stories, beginning with The Fast and the Furious, followed by Fast & Furious: even faster and now, FAST & FURIOUS 5 ". But one of the goals of this film was to bring together characters who had appeared in other chapters. " The idea was good, but the difficulty lay in incorporating them into the story created at.
