Advantages: Could be enjoyed as a piece of fluff
Disadvantages: It's a piece of fluff

...– Bad Boys. Bad Boys 2. Tango and Cash… ***SO….*** …what? Or rather, why? Why did Vin Diesel not sign up for this? Because he read the script. Why is it populated with rap star cameos (Hi Ludacris!) and cheap jokes? Because the dollar is king in Hollywoodland, where even the most banal of movies are given a second chance. And rap music sells, so let’s get it in the movies! F**k integrity! Lets make some sweet green! Who are the actors? Who cares! ... Read review

Advantages: You must be joking!
Disadvantages: The fact that it was made in the first place.

...action hero for “2 Fast 2 Furious”, but even Van Diesel had the good sense to avoid this follow-up movie like an outbreak of the bubonic plague! Either that, or they didn’t offer him enough spondoolicks (money). ~ ~ The original The Fast and the Furious, while never in line to win any Oscars, was at least entertaining, and a success both at the box office and in the video shops. So I suppose that it was almost inevitable that ... Read review

Advantages: A brillaint sequel, fast paced, bad-assed action
Disadvantages: Er.... could do with more Eva Mendes?

Ok, so Brian O'Connor has let his mark get away and has run into hiding from the police, who are now chasing him with a string of charges (From aiding and abetting to infinite counts of dangerous driving). He travels from Los Angeles, across America to Miami, building up his cash and street racing form as he goes. This leads us into the fantastic opening sequence of the first race. Typical setting, fast import cars, hot chicks, big sound systems ... Read review

Advantages: And all round class movie
Disadvantages: nope

...The Fast and the Furious! 2 Fast 2 Furious had a lot to live up to, was it as good as the first? You damn right it was! THE FAST AND FURIOUS STORYLINE Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) a recently retired cop is back on the streets hitting the pedal to the metal in his usually tuned up automobiles. If you don’t remember the first one or haven’t seen it, at the end of the last movie O’Connor let one of his suspects go this is why he is no longer a cop. ... Read review

Advantages: Cars and passing the time
Disadvantages: Lack of a storyline

...as I found '2 Fast 2 Furious' as the late night movie on ITV2. I have seen the whole of the Fast and the Furious trilogy, but I can barely remember the third one which I only saw a matter of months ago so you can imagine how my memory fairs when it comes to the other two. It's just a matter of fact, these movies aren't memorable. They're just brainless movies that you can watch at a drop of a hat, but they aren't half entertaining. I cannot even ... Read review

Advantages: Adrenaline, Cars and Sexy Men
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...doubts as to how good 2 Fast 2 Furious could be without Vin Diesel on board (Pause for a quick drool)! Could it match up to the original at all? The first film opened up a new world to us and has apparently increased the popularity of street racing in the US, which the police are not too happy about! The film begins as they set up for a street race. The roads are blocked and the cars are all lined up. Unfortunately they are one car short, which ... Read review

Advantages: Some decent action
Disadvantages: Bad acting, too stupid, not a single original idea

...say on the tin. however 2 fast 2 furious is just plain annoying man, i mean you know what i'm saying bro? in this movie we join keanu reeves, er sorry i mean brian (paul walker) man as he mooches around miami taking part in street races that happen on those miami streets in the middle of the city where there's no police and not another soul around. man at least the first film acknowledged the way street racing looks out for the cops without taking ...

Advantages: Fast, cars and fast women!
Disadvantages: none unless you are looking for a story line!

...watch a film that was 2 fast and 2 furious and that is what I got. The special effects were great! The background music was cool and up beat. The film offers the greatest adrenaline rush that you can get from a film of this type; In fact I do not know any film that comes close to this film, where total on going excitement is concerned. The director John Singleton is a class director and this is a classically directed film. This film is great for all ... Read review

Advantages: Great Car races against a dazzling miami backdrop
Disadvantages: Weak storyline

Overview: "2 Fast 2 Furious(2003)" is the sequel to the movie "The Fast and the Furious(2001)". The movie is primarily set in Miami. Directed by John Singleton, and distributed by Universal Studios, it does not live up to the prequel. John Singleton is fine, but is handicapped by the weak storyline. The Stunt directors and stunt drivers have done a fine job. The adrenaline packed car races are definitely worth the money you spent on the tickets. ... Read review

Advantages: fast cars, action, streetraces, characters, humor
Disadvantages: the storyline

...say which is better, part 2 has far more action, more cars, more racing, but the storyline is just an excuse to show street races. However, the street races are better in this part. Sometimes they are a very unrealistic, but hey, what do you expect! So, if you going for the cars and the action, you can't miss it! I believe that the original film had a better script and lesser action, but what makes the big difference is the absence of Vin Diesel. ... Read review

Advantages: Cars and races are edge of your seat stuff
Disadvantages: Its like, "whoops, where'd the plot go all of a sudden?"

PRECONCEPTIONS: Its a sequel Its a film that reels people in for seeing the cars so what're they gunna do for a storyline? Where's the main star we know and love? Its not so groundbreaking anymore ACTUALITY: Well as mainstream films go, this can join the line of cliches. Hollywood has reeled off another formulaic plot, just that the situation is different. This time its all about car chases instead of just one car chase set piece. -Plot- If ... Read review

Advantages: The Cars
Disadvantages: The Script

This film was never going to be about the story, and if anyone was intending to see it based on the plot then they would need their head examining. No, as many people have said beforehand the plot, which is there albeit on a very small scale is just an excuse for the cars and the effects. For those of you interested, it sees Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) as a street racer in Miami having left the LAPD in the first film. Having made a deal with the ... Read review
