So I went to watch Fast And Furious 4 that day, and it was quite okay. I would say a solid 7/10 score. It is actually a pretty decent movie, there were lots of action, good but not perfect story line, and there were cars. Well in my opinion, the cars are what made the movie suck.
The cars, were crap. I could count almost all the cars used in the movie with both my hands, not including those that didn't even have 5 min of movie time that is. Those which had plenty of screen exposure were a bit 'dull'. It's like they came straight off the factory line. Maybe once in a while they'll slap on some rims and a paint job. Other than that, they look like a common man's commuter. Saddening.
I think its on purpose that the cars suck. The direction of the movie is more toward the story and characters rather than the cars, which is good but it kinda sucks the whole purpose out of the movie. Think Fast and Furious and trishaws and tricycles... If you want to see cars go watch Redline. Great cars, not so great movie.
One thing that pissed me off was what O'Connor was crusin' in, a NISSAN SKYLINE R34. Of all cars a stock Skyline?(it even has its original paint scheme) COME ON! The Subaru he used later on was okay, but it didn't had much screen time and was ssslllloooowwwww...
Vin Diesel's cars on the other hand weren't that bad actually. I sort of knew he was gonna drive the Chevelle SS from the begining, but didn't expect it to be dead stock. Come on, matte grey? he must had spray painted it.
Ahh the Buick Grand National.The car that make Vin Diesel a bad ass of bad asses. It kinda got me excited as it was the first car to appear on screen with its definite roar. Oh come on just look at it, totally totally a bad ass car! I used to use this car to bully drivers of Midnight Club: L.A. Oh man I miss that game. Road Rage!
Remember the above car from the first Fast and Furious? It didn't make the cut! The first Fast And Furious "exposed engine muscle car that can do wheelies" car is actually a Dodge Charger. The one used in the new movie is actually the baby brother, a Dodge Challenger. Though it had an exposed engine and can still do wheelies, there's a big difference...
Tesla Roadster
The movie really could have been better if they had better cars, newer cars. Sigh, I wonder if electric cars will ever be on screen?
