Not sure how anyone over the age of 8 could enjoy these movies. Logic and physio are both defied in this series.

I've said it many times before, but one of the main reasons why the F&F movies failed to reach mass appeal before Fast Five was because of their villains. They were always forced to take on low end drug dealers and people who have little to do with their line of work; driving cars really fast and stealing things. With Fast & Furious 6, the team gets to take on Owen Shaw & his own crew, who are equally as good at doing crazy stuff on wheels.Dom regathers his team, including Brian, Han, Gisele, Roman, and Tej, after Hobbs comes to him with an offer he can't refuse. The chance to save Letty from Shaw and take him down, in exchange for full pardons all the way around. After quite a few films on the run and unable to return to his home in Los Angeles, there's no way he could turn down this opportunity, even if it meant going up against his former girlfriend thought dead, Letty. Fast & Furious 6 has even more muscle, explosions, faster cars, and just downright insanity. But it isn't as clean cut or polished as Fast Five. Granted, a movie like this doesn't necessarily need to have a concise story or developed characters, but they've done a much better job at doing those things within the last few films. The 6th film feels a little slower and maybe even a little too long, with the end product still putting a huge smile on my face. But when comparing the two, a second watch definitely exposes some of this film's minor flaws.The one thing this film, and pretty much all of the films since 4, is that each keeps topping itself. Just when you think they couldn't top stealing a vault and dragging across the streets of Brazil, they take down planes with cars. The tone deafness of the series is gone and the new breed of F&F is here to stay. The crazy thing is, you buy into all of it. I bought into the family from the beginning and I one-hundred-percent buy into the series embracing it's goofiness. The film also manages to implement more humor into the 6th film which is something the franchise has been missing. Or at least, humor that actually makes people laugh. I won't count those horrible attempts at humor in the 2nd film.What makes this film stick out his that it's the first time the crew gets to go up against an entirely new crew with the same set of skills. Luke Evans is great as Owen Shaw, The Rock has never been better, and who doesn't love watching Ludicrous and Tyrese Gibson crack one- liners at each other. Better yet, every word out of Vin's mouth is a one-liner. Overall, the ante is once against raised and the series punches its way through another smash hit. Fast & Furious 6 is an insane thrill ride from the beginning to end.

It seems as if these movies are getting better and better as time goes on (though not so good that they warrant anything more than a seven – they are mindless actions movies. In a way it seems like ages since I watched the first couple of movies and also, in a way, they simply seem to be nothing like the ones that are being churned out now. In fact, it seems that ever since Justin Lin took the helm the movies have simply gone from being rather dull cop movies to being a full blown, fully intense, action movie. Mind you, with this one having a tank roaring down a motorway it does make me wander how Lin is going to top the previous editions in numbers 8 and 9 (IMDB suggested that after number 8 there are another three movies but I suspect that this is a typo).Anyway, after striking it rich in Rio by stealing a hundred million dollars off of a drug lord, the crew have all gone their separate ways. However Hobbs as been tipped off that Vincent's girlfriend isn't actually dead, and in fact involved with some rather despicable characters that make Toretto, O'Conner and their team look like angels (and since they are the heroes of the film you could suggest that they are, but they are more like anti-heroes than anything else). Anyway Hobbs gets in contact them because he realises that the best way to catch a crook is with a crook, and of course Toretto is the first that comes to mind.Number six is set in London, which is a good thing because I have been to London – three times. Okay, I can hardly call myself an expert on the city, but I do have this attachment to the place, and do enjoy watching movies set there, even if they do stupid things, like having a drag race through the centre of the city, pass Picadilly Circus and finishing up at Battersea when it is impossible it escape the stop start traffic unless it is 6:00 am on a Sunday morning (okay, it isn't that bad, but try driving along Euston road and see how long it takes you to get from Islington and out of the city).In a way this film seems to deal more with a collection of anti-heroes, and sort of exposes Vin Diesel's roleplaying past – having people with different talents working together as part of a team is something that is central to most, if not all, roleplaying games, and they tend to work a lot better if you aren't constrained by a government organisation. Okay, Diesel and Walker are still the major characters, and also the precision drivers, and they still have a single drag race in the film (though there are plenty of car chases, including one with a tank), but we are now moving on to much bigger things – in fact no more drug lords because now we are up against mercenaries who are doing things that your average drug-lord isn't getting involved in. In the end, expect a pretty wild ride, but nothing incredibly deep.

OK Listen ... For a minute there this franchise was getting dull. But i must admit that number 5 was really good but baby this one right here. This installment of number 6. Whomever new they enlisted to the writing and stunts or whatever, added some really great aspect to this installment. This one was really enjoyable because of the scale of the stunts and the action in addition to the return of the originals minus Vince. I have to put this in here ... My very best scene is when Giselle let go of Han to fall back so she could shoot. She sacrificed herself for the game and her man. That hits was the absolute coldest. I love that scene more than I love all the other fantastic scenes in this installment. I don't even know where to begin to tell you the truth there was so much action. Oh and I have to admit that Roman Pierce brings a factor to this franchise that was absolutely needed. The humor he brings is much needed and it elevates the whole concept because it/he makes it more relatable. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that Kurt Russell was brought into this installment only to be seen once. What was that all about. He looked to be a good fit, being that I'm old school and I thoroughly enjoy seeing him on screen. The same with D. Hansu ... I think he also would have been a great addition. And as we all watched Nathan definitely was a great asset to the installment. Though his roll was short lived as well. Wondering if the big names were included to ensure the public flocked to see the newer installment. Overall, I enjoyed this one number 6 and now I'm loading number 7 as my wheels are turning, madly trying to grasp or wrap around what could possibly be to come in the 8th & 9th installments. I don't know at this point but I surely will come around to see. Toodles ... I give it 8 stars, the most stars I've given any of the previous installments. I'll say just buckle up and enjoy this ride
