Comments on: Fast & Furious 6 will be the summer action movie to beat https://cliqueclack.com/p/fast-furious-6-review/ Big voices. Little censors.

Iron Man 3 just cracked a billion dollars, and is one of the top 5 grossing films of all time. Fast Five still hasn’t earned half that :)

It’s just that they are making a lot more “OK” movies now.

But I’m picky — and oddly NOT picky — about what I consider a “good” movie. But considering that there was some incredible stuff that was released last year in a variety of genres (Perks of Being a Wallflower might have become my favorite movie of all time, but see also: Looper, Zero Dark Thirty, Silver Linings Playbook) that we frankly don’t give enough credit to.

And before that was Forrest Gump. You have to realize that they just aren’t making as many movies these days that push boundaries for storytelling. We live in a day and age where our default brand of entertainment is “commercialized.” Think of it as processed foods. Not that great for you but you still eat them anyway? When every movie is a sequel, prequel, reboot or an adaptation of something else it’s hard to get totally behind it. So the best thing we can hope for is that these commercialized movies at least keep us entertained. F&F6 won’t win any Oscars, but then again I don’t watch movies just to see if they’re worthy of receiving awards. Bottom line is that I didn’t sit through the movie wishing I was home watching the latest Syfy channel original movie release or Human Centipede 2. Were you? For $11 bucks you can go to a packed theater and be entertained with a fun crowd. So until the next “great” movie comes out I’ll keep taking these fun movies. I suspended disbelief and was entertained. It’s a shame you weren’t. To each his own.

I’m a ” I can’t believe this movie is getting decent reviews” kind of guy. Just kind of baffled by it. Sorry

(And P.S., I haven’t seen any of the films, so I have no opinion either way, but simply because you don’t agree with someone’s opinion doesn’t give you the right to be an ass.)

Meaning these opinions are in fact, wrong. Blinded by excitement and familiarity. Unable to review a movie without being a fan first. Watch this movie again in 2 months and then apologize to me. This movie fucking sucked.

And the film is at a surprising 73% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now.

I’m pretty sure this movie will rack in a lot of cash. I wouldn’t be surprise when/if it surpasses Iron Man 3 and goes on to be the top grossing film of the year. *shrug* I’m not even a car nut. I just know what people like and happen to like it too.

I had fun watching it and had a great crowd along for the ride. Ultimately it was a good movie-going experience, and that’s why we go to the movies … to have that experience.

And nobody’s opinion is ever wrong — but you can disagree with them!

I wish I got paid to write this review. Especially in this economy.

I was SO EXCITED for this movie, and IT WAS HORRIBLE! I don’t usually cringe or shake my head during movies (I easily suspend my disbelief) but this thing was straight GARBAGE!!! I think this movie was mocking itself and I know why Justin Lin won’t be back for more, he totally dropped the ball. Was the action ok? Yeah, kind of. Was this the worst representation of the characters? WITHOUT A DOUBT. This movie is getting too much praise when IT SUCKED. From the opening title sequence, to the unbelievable Letti storyline..Just trash. After the first 30 minutes of the movie I thought it was about a D. Over the next hour it raised up to about a C (average) and then the HORRIBLE AIRPLANE RUNWAY SCENE totally dropped it back to a D. Did you get paid to write this review? Because you are wrong. Your opinion is wrong.
