    This movie was awesome! Yeah the critics say that there isn't much of a plot to the movie, but to be honest, if you haven't experienced the life of street racing you can't really say anything. Street racing is all about that...racing for money or slips. You don't need a plot for a movie like this.It's action packed, has hot guys and girls, and nice cars that everyone wishes they could have... I think Singleton did a great job with this movie along with the actors. Vin Diesel isn't missed much..that's what Tyrese was for! I would definately go watch this movie again and I do recommend it.

    Now i am a man who stands up for over the top action pic's that get slated because they are a bit silly, this is true of 2F2F. BUT yes people there is a but i understand that this is an action movie but the plot really does suck, 1. Lets deliver dirty money to a huge dealer in 2 highly recognisable cars (subtle). 2. Why do those two guy's keep following Paul Walker and Tyrese about if they are only going to kill them anyway. 3. Why does a huge Cocaine dealer keep hanging out with two runners who are nothing more than couriers !!!! This film was absolute crap but had too little in the way of redeeming features. Bad Boys 2 was 2 and a half hours long and was more fun than this. But i give it 6 for amazing cars and ladies!!! Expand

    A great car movie, it delivers what it promises. No, it isn't deep, but who cares? I went to see lots of action, race scenes, and hot cars, and got exactly that. I found it suspenseful and exciting. It rocks.

    I really enjoyed this movie, lots of fast cars and good actora. Even though the plot was kinda dumb the rest was heaps good. If you enjoyed The first movie you'll love this one!

    This is kind of hard to review. I wasn't a big fan of the first one, I thought it was stupid. I guess I'm a bit more intellectual than the crowd it is intended for. I try to think of this movie for what it is, a movie about action and nice cars without much plot. However, anytime I try that, I realize that the plot sucks. It's a generic action movie plot, deep down. Most of the car scenes are so obviously CG, that it is annoying. But gee, I can put plot quirks aside, if I wanted to, and still find a movie that just didn't entertain me like I want to be entertained. This movie has nothing to offer that a much better movie can't, well, except for a bad title. Expand

    Great car chase sequences. That's the one and only factor that prevents this film from being a complete clunker. Bad script, absolutely terrible dialogue and completely unlikeable two dimensional characters. Maybe it's just me but I dont see anything remotely likeable about a pair of guys who break the law by speeding, shooting at police officers and putting innocent bystanders lives at risk by driving at top speeds. And when were not seeing unlikeable characters breaking the law and looking like heroes for it, we are treated to a bunch of teenage hollywood fluff of semi naked girls in bikinis, muscular men with their shirts open all the while listening to the rap filled film score. And if that mindless crap dosent turn anyone with an IQ over 10 off this film then the acting sure will. Paul Walker and Tyrese cant act to save their lives. Their dialogue is comprised of "yo", "cuz", "bitch", "sup", and "let's see what chu got!". As a side note, I think the costume designer in this film must be no more than 20 years old. Paul Walker's clothing involves brand name street clothes that would only interest a 16 year old. Avoid this movie at all costs. Expand

    Its a complete no brainer!! Its aimed at car fanatics and should be taken lightly as an adreneline trip through illegal street racing hell. Doesn't matter is has no plot, doesn't matter its trashy. almost all no-brainers are trashy films with no plot! Its worth seeing if you have an interest in cars or want something to gross-out to.

    An incoherent, sloppy, illogical and ultimately lame movie. The first film had some structure, character and pacing and was a fairly enjoyable racing flick, despite its pretentions. It at least came across as a movie. However even as a bunch of poorly tied together action sequnces (which is all it is) 2f2f is poor, in part due to the fake looking CGI. I can't even say the cars are good because they're so over-the-top and involved in such ridiculous scenes. Honestly why did they have to rice up the EVO if it was just going to be used as a runner, not a street racer!? I wasn't expecting much from this but I was still gobsmacked at how bad it was and couldn't help but just smirk and shake my head. But this movie is no laughing matter, especially for those involved in it... Verdict: Hold on to your seat and try not to throw up. Expand

    I remember when I was a kid and I loved it. Now that I'm older, I still like it. I know that it's not the best Fast and Furious movie but it's still enjoyable. The movie itself acknowledges that it's not supposed to be very serious or deep and that's fine because the way the action is executed is fantastic. So with all that said 2 Fast 2 Furious has great action and is a very enjoyable movie.

    It's big, loud and utterly inconsequential. Big greasy boys with their big greasy toys. But since it's not trying to be anything else, that's okay. It does what it tries to do, does it well, and then buggers off. Worse things happen at sea.

    For some people, the mere sight of an automobile is an orgasmic experience. I?m not one of them. But assuming people see "2 Fast 2 Furious" for the cars, they may or may not be disappointed. There are a few adrenaline-fueled races here, but everything else is dangerously absurd and boring. It?s 2 dumb, 2 long, and that?s 2 bad.

    This is a film for anyone who is a fan of Need for Speed. This film is an adrenaline fuelled, fast paced and stunt filled movie with fab cars and a good sense of humour. I thought the story line was cliched but then what film hasn't got a cliche thrown in? A good film worth a watch for anyone who loves there cars and loves the feel of speed.

    the acting was horrible. the plot was horrible, the dialogue was horrible and the characters...horrible. The cars?.....well the cars were better so I gave a point for that. I also gave another point for having ludacris vplay instead of ja rule and i gave an extra point just to be nice. I realized after watching this why vin diesel shined so much in the 1st one. overall, the movie was bad. Or maybe it's because I dont have much respect for street racers. Expand

    Let's face it! You know you're going to get a movie that's heavy on the action, and light on the plot. However, this is still a very entertaining summer movie that is fresh enough to get this movie-goer to recommend to all of his friends. What more do you need in a summer blockbuster...HOT CARS, HOT BABES, AND HOT ACTION!

    Much better than the first, due mainly to John Singleton, who in my opionion had a shameless blast: no excuses for balls to the wall fun (unlike totally lame "Gone in 60 Seconds") Much better car action, ENOUGH plot to keep it moving, less blood and guts, and better acting out of everyone, including pretend-Steve McQueen Paul Walker. I say Singleton brought some integrity to the genre and hope to see more coming, Yea. Expand

    Two things wrong with this movie. 1. Lame characters, and lame cars= 2 Stupid 2 Riced 2. Paul Walker and Tyrese give as much as a performance as tomato soup making the movie 2 Long 2 Boring. So stay away from this head on collision of a movie.

    This fits well into the catergory of dumb, pretty entertainment consisting of hot wheels, hot studs and hot babes all parading for your viewing plesure amid the slightest and most inane of plot strings... The real surprise for me was watching the incredible homoerotic tension between the two leads, which at times gets so thick you almost have a hard time watching. Watch their opening wrestling sequence, for instance...Or how Tyrese's character keeps resenting Paul Walker's occasional oogling over Eva Mendes. In fact, the only times Walker loses that deer-caught-in-the-headlights look in his eyes is when Tyrese is touching him, hugging him, or whatever, which is often. Then he seems to get a real twinkle in his eyes. Weird show, from that perspective. Expand

    It lacks the awesome experience of its predecessor and the mediocrity of the story does not create anything fast and furious at all. Though I'm impressed with the car racing scenes but it all lacks a good concept.

    This isn't a movie it's an auto show. There's not much to this movie except the cars. Which is the last thing I want to see in a movie. The movie starts out with a illegal street race right away. This is just what I don't like in movies. At least Vin Diesel wasn't in this one which probably makes it my favorite out of the series. Vin Diesel isn't a good actor he's just cast in these movies for show. The plot was okay, which is the reason why I didn't give this the lowest score possible. If your a teenager and you love cars then watch this. Just don't take all the action and racing scenes to serious because you are aware that there just fiction right. Expand

    excellent movie. I liked the fast and the furious part 2 a lot. The cars have great bright colors, good action scenes. Locations, good actors, and they are somewhat criminal characters, they are still good guys compared to the real bad guys. They are also working with the fbi, to put a mafia kingpin away. So for this movie they are on the good side. I really liked this movie a lot, and i watched it many times over. It does not glorify criminals. It's a kick ass movie. Great locations such as Miami. Great chase scenes, and racing scenes. Some funny moments with that black guy from Barstow. "I'm not going back to Barstow!" Expand

    Definitely fun to watch, but the script is very lame, there's no actual plot, and the characters selection was bad as well.

    Good film but the this film has too many clichés in it. I liked it when i was a kid but now i dont like it soo much anymore. The whole theme is just bling bling, heres my girl, my car and iam the best. Thats not really what i want from a film.
    The story isn´t boring but not really interesting. The first one had a better story. And the cars in the second are quiet bad thats no

  1. My hand trembles slightly as I type these words, but the truth is that while watching 2 Fast 2 Furious, the follow-up to the pleasurably cheap-thrills sleeper "The Fast and the Furious," I realized just how much I miss Vin Diesel.
  2. 42
    The best thing about 2 Fast 2 Furious is Tyrese (terrific in Singleton's "Baby Boy"), whose charisma, looks and charm supply the picture with much-needed spark. It's too bad he's stuck in this spotty video game.
