Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Might not have put my say in if i didnt see so many bad reviews... i dunno if someone payed people to write bad reviews or if someone put hate pills in everyones coolaid..not oscar winning movie but it was never ment to be. the movie is based on a video game but really has nothing to do with the movie other than the title.definatly easier to watch if you are a car enthusiast. the need for speed scenes are super totally tits. im not really a mustang enthusiast either. the one in gone in 60 seconds is nicer. why is this one not black?as for the cast. aaron paul did a great job. this is important since people thot he was only gonna be jesse pinkman forever. imogen poots is so hot i would drink her bathwater. ramen malek is usually pretty annoying, he was here too but thats what his character was supposed to be so it worked. kid cudi another rapper kanye started who is now an actor, basically played himself so it worked. dominic cooper great villian, he really feels like a douchebag. harrison gilbertson was a great little spider man. all topped off with great little snippits of michael keaton.haters gonna hate. a well rounded movie.

If you liked "Fast and Furious" movies, then you will definitely also like "Need For Speed".The movie had a fairly good cast, except for Aaron Paul whom seemed very unfit for a role such as that. It was nice to see Dominic Cooper, Michael Keaton and Rami Malek perform in the movie though.There is lots of fast car scenes throughout the course of the movie, although they were rather unrealistic much like "Fast and Furious".Funny how there weren't any police or state troopers along the ride, all the way to California, especially since they were driving so fast all the time."Need for Speed" suffers from a very predictable storyline and it was rather shallow in contents. But other than that, it was actually good brainless fun and entertainment.

This review contains spoilers.Need for Speed stars Aaron Paul as the lead character out for revenge as he is framed for deaths caused by illegal street racing. The story follows the beginning of the illegal street race to his redemption as he clears his name. The plot is an excuse to show high octane races that are fun to watch. There are elements from the video games that are present in the movie such as police chases and traps.Need for Speed is first and foremost meant to be a fun movie. From the beginning of the movie, the cast look like they are having a fun time. The fun of the movie is dragged down by the plot and main character's dreariness. The side characters however pick up the tone and the movie becomes fun again. This movie has a fun group of side characters with stand-outs played by Imogen Poots and Rami Malek. These characters are the biggest positive in the movie. The problems of the movie are its plot and its lack of drive. The plot was not engaging. The plot only seemed to be an excuse to show its more creative racing rather than form an engrossing story and world.Even though the plot is basic, I would recommend Need for Speed. It is a competently directed movie that is high octane fun.

Honestly, Ive watched this a couple times now and it still is pretty good to watch. You can tell many of the reviewers never played the game series at all, when a majority of the negative reviews use "Extremely Unrealistic" and "Too many police chases" as a negative argument. If you are looking for a reviewer who has played through every game in the series, then read this.To be honest, when I first saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be a typical cash grab film based on a popular game series. After watching it, I was very happy. They managed to add in everything that was enjoyable within the games. Fast cars, High speed police chases and good looking girls (Yes I think tthat Julia is on par with Nikki, Mia and Rachel). I don't care what anyone says, The characters are likeable but not fuly developed, which is understandable as its based on a video game, the humour is decent and the plot is enjoyable in my eyes. The only thing I wanted from the feel were little things that would have given the film a more NFS feeling, Such as the iconic chase musicand more ephasis on building and tuning the car at the start (Not spoiling make/model).Overall, The movie is solid.I have watched it multiple times and I will keep watching it in the future as it is better than what I originally expected it to be.
