June 17, 200619 yr Author this is what the press thinks of it: (from imdb:) With The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift going on location to Japan, the movie "delivers all the races and crashes you could possibly desire, and a little more," writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times. Ebert credits director Justin Lin for delivering the "something more," writing that he "takes an established franchise and makes it surprisingly fresh and intriguing." Even in a generally negative review ("flashy and inane as its predecessors") Jason Anderson in the Toronto Globe & Mail allows that the film features "superior vehicular stunts, most of them real rather than tricked out with CGI." (The "drift" in the title refers to the way Japanese racers sometimes hit the emergency brake and accelerator at the same time, causing their vehicles to skid sideways.) Several critics complain that director Lin devotes far more attention to the car races than he does to the plot. As Claudia Puig remarks in USA Today,"Its stultifying plot and wooden acting is likely to make you drift -- off to sleep." But Chris Hewitt in the St. Paul Pioneer Press comments, "The movie is really about energy, freedom and speed. To complain there's no plot or characters in Tokyo Drift would be like complaining a shark lacks feathers." Tom Maurstad in the Dallas Morning News puts it this way: "The story's a joke; the characters barely have one dimension and the dialogue is as clunky as the cars are slick. Most times that would be all you needed to know, but there's one more important detail about the third installment in the F&F franchise: It's a great piece of entertainment. To call it a great film would be to oversell it, but as a fun, fascinating work of kinetic art, a 100-minute visual spectacle, it's a knockout."
June 17, 200619 yr It looks utter sh!t.... <_< Someone really needs to tell these idiots that films are not sodding computer games..... The first one had some semblance of a story to it (not a particularly great one, but....) and had eminently watchable and fairly talented actors such as Hugh Jackman and Vin Diesel... The second one was utter sh!te...... You guys wanna see a real chase film..? Watch Walter Hill's still amazing "Driver" with Ryan O' Neil and the late Bruce Dern about a dirty cop's (Dern) obsession with catching a getaway driver (O' Neil). Hill didn't need any sodding fancy-ass computer effects to come up with utterly thrilling chase sequences..... And when you're done with that, check out "Vanishing Point" or "Le Mans" with the original speed-king himself Steve McQueen....
June 17, 200619 yr Author And when you're done with that, check out "Vanishing Point" or "Le Mans" with the original speed-king himself Steve McQueen.... yeah was reading about Vanishing Point (thats the one with Kowalski isnt it) in the DVD mag the other day. seem very cool indeed. want to check it out.
