JUST HORRIBLE!, December 10, 2003
This movie showed us a whole new level of bad movies. From the unrealistic car scenes, to the abundant plot holes this movie has you falling asleep from the beginning. The first movie showed us that nitrous can make a car slightly faster, but the second movie showed us that nitrous will allow you to reach light speed somehow. When the cars in this movie use nitrous it somehow has the same effect as the space ships do in Star Wars when they travel through light speed. When anyone seems to use nitrous everything gets kind of burry and all you see are streaking lights like Star Wars uses. All the car scenes in this movie are totally unrealistic. The fact that we are supposed to believe that an EVO and an Eclipse are going to stand a prayer next to a Saleen Mustang, a Dodge Viper, and a Corvette Z06 is very insulting to anyone in the automotive world. The plot in this movie leaves nothing to the imagination as we are supposed to believe that this Paul Walker guy turns up missing and the police are after him, but then the next thing we know he is working for the police with his buddy who was also running from the law at one point. This is a movie that you want to miss!

Rev 'er Up!, June 10, 2003
Fueled by the libidinous gas of Tyrese and Paul Walker, John Singleton's sequel to "The Fast and the Furious," "2 Fast 2 Furious" proves that Fast Cars, Fast Guys and Fast Women can still equal a pretty good movie. We're not talking "The Hours" or "Talk to Her" here, but I can think of several more expensive to make and/or bigger star vehicles that don't have this movie's charisma and charm. "2F2F" is shot in Caribbean, super bright primary colors and the Car race and chase scenes are as outstanding as those in "Ronin" and that is saying a lot. And even though some of the line readings are dull and non-ironic, Tyrese definitely emerges as a genuine talent. If there are any Drive-ins left in the world (and I hope there are)...this is the perfect drive-in movie: take a date, buys some dogs, popcorn, good-and-plenty and a vat of Soda and enjoy.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Mediocre sequel, although final 20 minutes aren't too bad, June 13, 2004
The original FAST AND THE FURIOUS was brainless but reasonably entertaining, with a charismatic performance by Vin Diesel, a fairly interesting plot, and some very well-done action scenes. This inevitable sequel, starring Paul Walker (who played second fiddle to Diesel's character in the original) and Tyrese (as Diesel's "replacement"), hardly approaches the highs of the first film at all until the last 20 minutes or so, when 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS truly comes alive with a fun-to-watch car chase scene, some ingenuity, and some momentum. Until then, it's pretty mediocre, with a cookie-cutter plot, some wince-inducing dialogue (which tries way too hard to be "cool"), and bland car racing scenes. Thanks to Tyrese, who brings considerable energy and charisma to a badly underwritten but important role, it's still fairly watchable overall, but at least with THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS I wasn't annoyed with the dialogue and bored with the plot. Action fans can easily skip this one.
