This movie and I have nothing in common, we have nothing to say to each other, and we'd both appreciate it if people would please refrain from talking to us about the other at parties and such.

I managed to avoid this for twenty years. It was clearly made for nine year olds despite the sexual content they limply bizkited in. Everyone is right about the final heist scene being effective. I imagine I'm in for the rest of the series because I'm a glutton for punishment but I have every faith that they will get better because it would be a much greater feat to get worse.

I really didn't know what people were doing or why they were doing it. An odd film.

Fast and the furious is the monument for stupid action. you need no story, no good actors, no brain. just some 90-60-90 bunnys with silicon tits, some pumped up steroid idiots and a couple of tuned cars...great idea, there are enough idiots out there. and they will love to see 20 sequels with more silicon tits, more stupid bad ass idiots and less story than the first one.anything I forgot ??

Our fathers cruised around town in cool cars and listened to classic rock in "American Graffiti". Our generation...we do this shit apparently.

This I saw ages ago and thought it was boring. Also I had no idea what was happening most of the time. Vin Diesel's face didn't help to explain anything either. It's a hard movie to hate since it doesn't attempt to be anything other than dumb entertainment but still doesn't quite succeed. The sequels are variously dumber so I'd go for them if you really have to. But you really don't.

I'm supposed to like films like this: fast cars, hot women, cool special effects, hip-hop soundtrack. The cars may have looked good, but the camera never showed them any love. The women were hot, but not enough skin (for this kind of movie). The special effects were awesome, but had little to do with moving the story along. The music: Ja Rule. Don't even watch it on a bet.

Needs more guys who live their life a quarter mile at a time.

The cars went fast sometimes, and that was cool. I like when the one went under the truck. That was cool. How cool.

The Fast and the Retarded,
3	MArkjp	45 _21st
How this script ever went into production let alone became the bedrock of one of the bigger non-super hero action movie franchises in later years, is beyond me. That being said, it does have a sort of campy feeling to it that makes for an excellent guilty pleasure, and the joy of re-watching the early 00's in all it's glory is well equal part funny and terrifying.
3	TimeCapsule	68 _61st
"The Fast and the Furious"(2001) seems quaint compared to the ridiculous blockbuster franchise of cleverly titled sequels it spawned. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker star in this "Gran Turismo" and "Need for Speed" streetcar racing ascetic, "Point Break"(1991) remake. This mediocre action crime drama plays out like a music video oozing with machismo car porn, and a level of acting that can at-best aspire to winning a MTV Movie Award. Rating: 2 cans of Axe Body SprayTM

I have to give this movie credit as it created such a following for street racing pushing it from underground to mainstream. Sadly street racing is retarded and this film has caused so many bad flicks of the same genre it's ridiculous. Especially when one considers this film was just mediocre to being with.
2	AgentSnipe	59 _13th
I don't even want to hear about it. The movie is dumb. "I live my life a quarter mile at a time." Wow, Vin, deep.
2	tma1	20 _4th
It was neither fast, nor furious.
2	bojanpopic	9 _1st
This movie can be interesting to some dumb 16 year old kid who's only chance to get some attention is to own and know how to drive some fast cars. Othervise, he will remain virgin.
2	twincinema	70 _53rd
As everyone rattled off car terminology, I nodded my head sagely. Still amazed that this series went from being about stolen DVD players to having to save the world.
2	Stain	0 _8th
Ugh. There's not a genuine bone in this movie's body. One could argue that this is "car porn" since there's all manner of cars and car parts photographed in intimate, loving detail while all the human characters are stereotypical mooks
2	frederic_g54	3 _9th
Why is Paul Walker so gay? Even when he stares, it's laughable. Why is every girl in this movie so hot ? What's up with the lightspeed ? You wish they'd travel back in time, that'd be at least interesting. Why is Vin Diesel in my face? Why is the tuna so good? WHY?!
2	CaptTesticle	40 _10th
OK fast I get, but who's furious and what are they furious about? Are they furious because they're not fast enough? I had a teddy bear named Furious, so named because of his scratched up eyes and badass scowl. Seriously, he'd cut you.
2	hellboy76	62 _30th
Inspiration for douchebags everywhere, to fuck their cars up and drive like assholes.
2	Corbad	45 _10th
Horrific music and dated effects make this a real drag: 0-60 in 60 minutes, watchable for the iconic neon cars and the final-heist-into-last-act, which is genuinely engaging. Otherwise pretty painful.
2	Hawkins	83 _76th
Hated as a kid but my opinion flipped last rewatch. It's completely crass and full of testosterone and has enough heart to make it palatable. Male bonding has never been more strictly heterosexual. The stunts are eye-popping and despite a lot of dull characters there's hardly a dull moment.

Only for the charger...everything else sucked balls
1	whomperize	12 _9th
This is a really dumb movie.

NOSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
1	TheDenizen	10 _3rd
VROOOM! VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Juvenile wish fulfillment for emotional retards.
1	lachapelle	62 _23rd
Let's welcome to the world the talented Mr. Diesel. Paul Walker was much better in the Transporter. Ok so lets get to the chase (ha! I made a joke!). If you forget the plot, it's great eye candy.
1	TheDiceman	40 _19th
Poor
1	Ytadel	5 _57th
As far as car porn goes, you could do worse. It's loud and dumb and brainless but there is admittedly a time and a place for such films. Although he may not be the world's greatest thespian, I find something inherently watchable about Vin Diesel.
1	Askail	30 _5th
Mindless action and guys acting tough, but no soul.
1	Chuchaqui	35 _3rd
I don't like cars too much and I did not like this movie too much.
1	PeaceAnarchy	35 _2nd
Absolutely retarded. Nothing makes much sense, the threadbare story isn't even resolved and the action is just badly shot race sequences. I went in with low expectations and was still disappointed.
1	HalfJapanese	50 _13th
The after-effects of this movie (i.e., chain auto parts stores trying to carry "tuner" parts, the sales surge in crappy flames stickers, and idiots slapping NOS stickers on their stock Civics) were of more entertainment value than the movie itself. Still, it's not a terrible movie, but it's equidistant from greatness.
1	evrana	73 _55th
It is full of now awkward looking cool moments, the dialogue is a bit stunted and the story tethers here and there. But as a timepiece, it is pretty interesting and the stunts are top-notch. Doing a full-scale stunt movie was a very good idea anyway and they did give the feel of the underground racing sub-culture quite well; although they sauced it up a bit too much. You wouldn't expect it to turn into such a long living franchise, but you never know these things.

Vroom, vroom, vroom, screeeeeeeeeeeeech, kapow, vroom vroom vroom

one 2 for being too fast, one 2 for being too furrious. act a fool
1	purgatos	41 _14th
Vroom vroom!
1	Luna6ix	57 _12th
It should have been a dead giveaway when I walked into the theater and it smelled like stupid, but nay I continued and sat in a pile of retarded, then finally when the movie started I got idiotic spilled all over me.
1	cult_of_same	5 _4th
Yeah this isnt going to have 23424234 sequels.
1	HyphenateMe	40 _6th
Cars goes fast. I get furious.
1	Pepsi-Man	2 _39th
Well, it's got Vin Diesel.
1	letskillrobots	11 _25th
Highlight of this movie is reliving technology from 2001.
1	Beer94	43 _14th
Pretty mediocre
1	CosmicMonkey	53 _9th
hm.. the stuntwork was impressive, I really dug the turn-of-the-millennium dancehall soundtrack, the action scenes were pretty coherent... but it doesn't change that all of this felt like meaningless male power fantasy and noise. I don't care about any of the characters, which means I don't care about the plot. I came in expecting to hate it, and I came out ambivalent, so there's that.
1	Bown	61 _14th
vroom vroom, bloody, the cars mate! the best 2001 period piece you could ever imagine, there’s even an unironic use of rollin
1	ka1e	50 _4th
"I like the tuna" "Nobody likes the tuna!" fight ensues Actual movie quote......Do I need to say more?
1	Broodfath3r	60 _54th

Bleehhh. Will this franchise please just go away?
1	guy piranha	30 _6th
me vin diesel. me make car fast with stuff. me shave head bald, so more aerodynamic. car even faster. what you say against vin diesel car, eh?!
1	Leonardis	75 _19th
I recently rewatched this and I don't think it aged too well. I forgot how cheesy the directing and dialogue are in some spots. It's very early 2000s. I still kind of enjoyed it. The hammy performances are fun and the actual stunts and action are done quite well for it's time. All in all it's not a bad movie, you just have to know what you're getting into.
1	The Pirate	81 _64th
Exactly "Point Break" but swap out surf boards for cars. Seriously well choreographed chase scenes and a plot that actually leaves room for deniability about who the thieves are up until the reveal.
1	hsncrspywl	78 _62nd
I don't know what it is about this movie but I just love it. It's pure B-movie cheese, essentially a remake of Point Break but with the charm of being really outdated and tacky. The dialogue is solid gold, and the cast is pretty strong considering they could just chew the scenery but they take it seriously and the film is better off for it. Plus I have a bit of a thing for queer reading and this movie has PLENTY of that. It's beautiful. I'M IN YOUR FACE!
1	Dakota99	10 _99th
The Fast and The Furious is a classic in my book. I have a lot of nostalgia and leeway with this (despite its obvious issues and ripoffs) because I grew up watching this. This is the start of Hollywood's most accidental franchise, and sometimes it's nice to take a step back when the franchise was at a simpler, less bombastic time. It ain't perfect, but I think anyone who has grew up with these movies have a fond appreciation for what these characters became overtime.
1	okayfrog	40 _9th
It's a bit of a mess of a film with character motivation and story elements all over the place. However, it also feels like such a wonderful product of its time because of the dialog, the way it was filmed, and the music used. It's not a good film, but it has some really fun moments in it.
1	Lonewolf2003	55 _13th
Primarily it adequately gives what to expect from it; some dumb fun with fast cars, hot chicks and cool stunts. But it also tries to go for the whole Point Break plot of "undercover cop questioning his loyalties and befriends the criminals", but fails to really convey this through the emotion of the characters. Don't know who's to blame for this more, the acting or the writing. Probably both equally guilty.
1	tuerda	31 _27th
The premise of this whole franchise is that cars are really really cool. If you don't think they're cool, then there isn't much of a reason to see these movies.
1	peyrin	30 _10th
These get better, right?
1	twillis	25 _2nd
Even less entertaining than I expected.
1	Vaudevillian	60 _14th
Point Break 2: Vroom Vroom!
