Another loud voice in the Internet wilderness

I went to go see Fast Five yesterday and I liked it.  Funny thing is, I had not seen any of the previous pictures. I had received copies of the first two F&F movies but stuck them on a shelf and never watched them. When I saw the 3rd installment did not even have any of the original characters listed, I lost all interest. I figured if anything it was gonna drift into the purgatory that is direct-to-video. By the time Fast & Furious , the 4th film in the series came out, I had lost all interest.

Nope didn't see it. I'll have to NOW though!

Fast Five is like an All Star edition of the previous films. There’s someone from every film in here.  I have to single out Latin music stars Tego Calderon and Don Omar as  they were my favorites in the movie for me. They were comic relief the way those two Rastus/ Sambo ass robots from the second Transformers movie were supposed to be.  The Vin Diesel/Dwayne “Rock” Johnson face-offs were much better than anything that went on between The Rock and John Cena leading up to and after Wrestlemania. Testosterone aplenty. There’s only a couple of times were the action veers off into “Are you kidding me?” -James Bond style action, like when Vin Diesel and Paul Walker do a leap out of a speeding car into a river from a span the height of the Brooklyn Bridge and live. Even Roger Moore’s James Bond character wouldn’t  pull some shit like that and this is a man who when confronted by a man-eating Tiger* told  it  to “sit!” in Octopussy.

It's so ridiculous I won't even bother to post the whole thing. I'm sure Roger Moore pretends this never happened. Trust me it's stupid.

That's right -Hang your head in shame for participating in such a farce

Oh and  if you see this movie make sure you sit through the credits as there was a epilogue that made the remaining members of the audience who saw it saw freak out.

*(is there any other kind besides Tony and Tigger?)
