My thoughts on…the Fast and the Furious 4
Get ready folks, ’cause there’s another Fast and the Furious in the works. Yeah, I don’t give a rat’s ass either. I think a commenter on IGN said it best.
“1st Damn that was bad@$$
2nd pretty darn cool
3rd WTF!?!?
4th Alright seriously”
I posted on parody movies and how much they suck not too long ago, and this happens. Hollywood, why do you not heed my words? Ok, there must be at least one person out there whose interested in this movie, so for your benefit, here’s the plot. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are back to once again prove that talent isn’t neccessary to be called an actor. Diesel’s probably back to correct his mistake of ditching the second movie for “The Pacifier”, though I liked that movie I must admit.
Anyways, they’ve got a new enemy, Braga, and they must put aside their differences to confront said enemy, by doing, what else, drag racing and other car related stuff. Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster will also reprise their roles. You know Hollywood film execs, the “plot” for a movie whose only appeal is hot women and even hotter cars can only be stretched so far, and III was pushing it.
It seems like this is what the Fast and the Furious II was supposed to be. In that case, why don’t they just pull a George Lucas and make this sequel a prequel, or would understanding that concept tax the intellects of the franchise’s fans? Still, Latino Review likes the story, and they’re a pretty reliable source, so it may not be as sucktacular as I expect. Review it for yourself. Still, I fear that even a script worthy of Shakespeare won’t bring in the big bucks that the original made. As I said earlier, cars and chicks. We’ve seen it all before.
