It's amiable, got some decent-enough stunts, but the story isn't exactly going to test your mental agility, nor tantalise your thirst for more. It's okay. Big screen price-tag required? Nah, this is a straight-to-video bonanza!… Expand

Tough to say too much about this film. On the positive, the stunts and special effects are top notch. The story, screenplay, and acting are dumb. But what should I expect, right?

I can't help thinking of Mike Judge's Idiocracy when imagining the people who REALLY enjoy a film like this. ...and man has "The Rock" been juicing! He looks like a character from Gears of War.… Expand

Everyone is a criminal now? Rio De Janeiro? I didn't know they were known for cars. Have you ever seen the streets? It would be impossible to race there! Not well thought out by the producers. And the Vault seen dragging though the street at the end? WHAT? Two Peterbuilt trucks couldn't pull a vault through buildings and around corners let alone two muscle cars! The others in this series are admittedly "over the top" but this one takes the cake, then bakes another and takes that one too. 4/10… Expand

There was nothing special about the movie and the acting was sub-par. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson especially did a bad job, with constant overacting. The story was also dumb because it was really predictable and it portrayed Rio of being just some entirely corrupt place which is not very true. Also, this movie made cops looks like idiots because they cant take down just a few street racers. Just not what I expected from this movie at all.… Expand

There's a plot and characters now, but it's too late for me to give a f**k. You filmmakers should've thought of this 4 movies back.

And the side characters are so f**king bland and boring.

Fast Five is both awesome and stupid at the same time while ripping off The Italian Job to an extent while also being some awesome that I don’t care.

Never watched the four movies before but it's loud and entertaining. Bad talks, intense and brainless action. Heist. Explosion. Crash. Fast Five is unstoppable ride for summer.

But from my uninitiated perspective, I'd say that this hardly matters. OK, so there might be a few references for the die-hard fans of the series that passed me by, but that did not spoil my enjoyment of the film. It's loud, brash and incredibly fun. The highlight is undoubtedly the end chase through Rio - it's probably the greatest example of movie carnage you'll see this year. The Diesel vs. Rock fight is also pretty cool - it's like watching two slabs of prime steak tenderise each other. The film is also INCREDIBLY stupid...but in a good way. Go see it - just leave your brain at the door.… Expand

I did enjoy the movie,but it could have been much more than it really was. There seem to be no plot whatsoever and some of the big name characters exaggerated the roles, or may be i simply expected more out of the series.

In fact, i liked this one better than the original! It had great action, thrills, and was the same kind of story as the other ones. Of course, i have to comment on the undeveloped story, flat characters, and unrealistic parts of the movie. Of course, i knew i was going to have to suspend disbelief going in, but some of the sequences of action in this movie were too hard to overlook. They fall from a 1000 ft high bridge, plummeting into water, but of course, they are okay! Also, the plot and acting was iffy. This is a generic action thriller with lots of one-liners and car crashes. But that's all that we came for right? So that makes it a little bit better. If car chases, thrills, and kills are your criteria that you look for in movies, then definitely see this one. You won't be disappointed.… Expand

This is mainstream cinema but enough entertaining to do not care about the stupid parts or the average story. The cast reunited from part 1 to 4 is well suited for the audience and the new character as Dwayne Johnson is giving a fresh air on the movie. That's still a summer blockbuster with no brain but it works well anyway. I was near the enjoy it, Fast and the Furious is really the exception in the cinema industries that proves sequels can be far better than the original. And each entry is better than the last one. Two thumbs up for that achievement that I didn't expected for to be honest.… Expand

And the series benefited from that since there were fewer emotionally charged or character-driven scenes (there are a handful of 2 minutes "scenes" of such kind, and while bad, they are there just to explain the motivations of the characters). There is a more "Ocean's Eleven"-style plot in this one, which is the one improvement over the original. Even if you have to switch off your brain to appreciate it, it works and is more elaborate than the other films in the franchise. Again, not the slightest bit realistic in any way, but in my opinion, it doesn't really try. This was improved by fewer races and more chases with more action.… Expand
