    obsessed with the fact that there is no plot in this movie until an hour in, just vibes and that one song we all know also i feel like an under-discussed facet of the F&F movies is that Han is incredibly sexy, let’s talk about that why don’t we

    This one creates some weird timeline problems by killing off a character who would appear in future installments but at the end of the day it was worth it to halt the entire franchise and focus on the electric screen presence of Lucas Black playing a 39 year old high school…

    Honestly this might be the most iconic movie in the series; the title, the theme song, the fact that everyone looks 35 years old. The soundtrack is amazing too.

    I really don’t get the hype for this movie, it was a bit boring to be honest. Han was the only reason I continued watching this. I didn't like the protagonist at all (he sure doesn’t look like a teenager and he was too conceited) and i didn’t like here the classic relationship…👇

    The amount of 10/10s alone makes the film at least a 9. The drifting was fun too.

It's not much of a movie, but a hell of a ride. So what if the movie dumbs down Japanese culture to a bad yakuza movie and features Japanese characters who can barely speak Japanese? The cars are the stars here. Everything else is lost in translation.

Pumping high-performance gas back into the series after a second lap sputter, third entry stays in high gear most of the way with several exhilarating racing sequences, and benefits greatly from the evocative Japanese setting.
