Laughably bad. There were some parts that were just unintentionally hilarious. They try to have some sense of plot but the acting and script is so bad that its unwatchable without a sense of humor. One of my favorite parts was when a character addressed another character named Han by saying "Hey Han" and sure enough subtitles showed up saying "Hey Han". The action is OK, but even the drifting gets boring after a while. A last minute cameo by a star of the original does nothing to save this ridiculously horrible film.… Expand

I haven't had this much fun at a movie since seeing The Transporter 2. From the opening scene, in which you see the high school football team destroying a Native American piñata, you know you're in for some action-packed and politically incorrect fun. I have never seen such undeveloped female characters. All they did was objectify themselves. But in the end, who cares? The music is great, the visuals are stunning, and Han is just so damn cool! Here's hoping that they set the fourth installment in an equally exotic location.… Expand

For what it is it's awesome. A mindless ride through a fast-paced Japanese underworld. If you're expecting oscar moments, don't bother. If you want a pop-corn munching good time, this movie doesn't disappoint.

I go to the movies to escape reality, and I didn't go to this one for an epic plot or incredible character development. I came to see riced out cars, chicks in skirts, incredible camera angles, some great music, and a bit of "No way!!!" And this movie delivered.

This movie is hilarious - the most I've laughed in the past six months. It starts out completely ridiculous and only gets more so, approaching the level of sheer one-dimensional unbelievability within the first two minutes. Hundreds of busty girls, Japanese who don't speak a drop of Japanese, evil mobsters, and hundreds of Maaad Driiifts - this is what makes American cinema great. Every conventional gauge of a good movie fails, but that;s where it suceeds - its so goddarn awful that its incredibly perfect. No joke, Tokyo Drift exceeded every expectation I had, and they were all pretty high.… Expand

Awesome movie, camera angles captures ingeniuosly, the story was fine, hillarious, and at the same time full of mind-playing action. I especially loved the japanese settings and spectacular drift races.

I Found the movie to be really good. The whole plot has absolutely nothing to do with the japanese culture, it was just that drifting is big in japan, so that would seem the right place to set the story. [***SPOILERS***] It has a great plot otherwise, although when han is killed it is kind of sad.

Everything I wanted in a F&F movie and my pick of the three for being the most watchable. Sure, it often treads into "beyond retarded" realm where the entire premise of the plot is ridiculous (kid goes to a Japanese school when he can't speak Japanese? The Yakuza race sports cars and somehow make money off it without any apparent source? The kid's dad lives in the smallest apartment imaginable, but has an enormous garage that's loaded? Japanese people can't speak Japanese?), and the portrayal of Japanese youth culture is offensive to at least a few people, but do you really care that much? If the answer's yes, there's no point watching, but if you manage to suspend all disbelief of anything ever resembling reality, it's actually pretty fun. There are cars that drive fast, attractive people all over the place, and a lot of dumb action. It all just looks damned cool as it's happening, and I think it does just as well as the other two in that regard--which is the only good reason you'd want to see this to begin with.… Expand

Briliant film couldn't of made it more rialistic. The story line was better than all other fast and furious. killing the seans friend was bad and it sort of made the story line go a bit down hill. well done to the makers succesfull film.

It's better than the second one, that's for damn sure. Not brilliant, but fun.

Average. Hollywood. Formula. Fast blurred action sequences. Cliche. Did I mention formula? The only saving graces of this film are the hot japanese women, a few funny one-lines, the lack of reality in some of the sequences, and the appearance of the TRUE drift king!

I had a good time watching this with my friend. Not enough babes though, anyway it has a good storyline and good racing scenes, maybe about 10 racing or less? not long enough but still good & worth it.

Just like the last 2 movies, this movie has no plot and unless you are 16, it cannot be enjoyed!

Not the worst film i've ever had to watch. the absence of Paul Walker from the franchise dramatically improves the film. It's just terribly ridiculous. Sure to make wads of cash though, because there are all those putz who dump cash into trashy Honda Civics.

For this movie i am against the critics and i say they have this movies ratings all wrong, okay the movie is a little dragged out and doesnt have as many races as the other two movies but so, it has a new style of racing, drift! it also has a brilliant story line, i think if the movie had to be miproved i would put more normal races in because the drifts can get boring after a bit.

Stereotypes are bad, even if your lot is perceived to be smart. Like "Better Luck Tomorrow", this filmmaker's aim is to strip Asian youth of their brainiac reputation. He accomplishes this by taking an unintended potshot at hip hop culture, and American youth culture, in general. By day, a Japanese girl dons her school uniform; by night, she busts out her hoochie clothes. What's also interesting to me is how Sean's a school outcast back in the states, but to Han, he's some sort of trophy friend. On one level, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" works as a fun melding of "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Lost in Translation", and on a more thoughtful level, this film plays like a social commentary on how the youth of Japan are changing. Ultimately, what makes this film a guilty pleasure is how the filmmaker rebuffs movie cliches with "fish out of water" and a "change of scenery will straighten you out" storylines. Sean doesn't look sad and lonely as he walks the Tokyo streets, and he doesn't learn a damn thing throughout the entire film.… Expand

This movie isnt that good. I dont know why they had to change the main character of Paul Walker. They were doing such a good job with Paul and once they chagned it to the new guy, it totally messed up the whole thing they had with Paul.

It was very good the movie because like the car and sound of effects and tokyo city.

I think this movie is the best of "The Fast And The Furious" trilogy. It was a great idea to get a main actor with a texan language accent, for example. I also think it's great the way this movie crushes some "movie clichés". The cast is great, having the gorgeous Keiko Kitagawa included. Also, the American Muscle cars are something that makes worth to watch this fantastic movie.

Pitiful attempt to drag out the franchise. Poor acting, worse plot. I was a fan of the first 1, still enjoyed the second, but was half asleep by the middle of this turgid and unnecessary installment. At least the spectacular scenery of Tokyo itself was worth staying awake to watch.

The movie was deinitely better than the 2nd one.the new environment in form of tokyo was brilliant.thankgod the lead hero was changed.the storyline was stronger than the 2nd movie too and the surprise vin diesel intro was just priceless. the drifting technique was a great change and the whole drag racing fiasco was put to an end.good job guys.

A decent movie. Definetly better than the previous movies. Its all about the cars getting sideways.

I loved tokyo drift alot and hope to be a racer.

Very poor. A leading character I couldn't empathise with, most of the plot lazily recycled from the first and second movies, simply transposed to a slightly different setting. No women with any character. Also there is the problem that drift racing doesn't largely follow a format anything like in the movie (it only takes place over a few turns and is more of a style contest than a race), whereas drag racing is at least of a similar format to that portrayed in the first movie, even if obviously people aren't actually doing these things in the middle of either city. The Japanese Godfather character was crap, so close to Marlon Brando in one scene it was mad.… Expand

I liked it. It was alot better than the second. [***SPOILERS***]I also liked how they threw Vin Deseil in there at the end.

the reason i am giving this a six is because it doesn't show the same potential that the other 2 did. it provides a fair amount of action and suspense. however there is not as much character development and the other 2 especially the first movie provides more convincing acting

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I start, let me state that I have never seen a single Fast and the Furious movie until this one. So, from what I've heard, this movie has very little relation to the other movies because of new characters, so that was a good thing for me becuase I was able to follow the plot very easily, and enjoy the movie overall. Still, I wish the race at the end was a bit longer. Oh well, it was still a good movie nontheless.… Expand

Why is this movie so great? Well 4 reasons: 1. Tokyo is a city built for racing, at night; ho **** fking **** 2. Cars...dayum 3. Girls, yum yumm. Naughty anime girls ;) 4. Han is a fking champ. He's a boss. All star right there.

Not a great movie, but an enjoyable movie. i like most of the characters and the story was ok. i like the fast and furious series for the cars and this movie showcased some great street cars and good racing scenes

Drifting is NOT my thing. I like road racing, but I decided to see the movie when it came on cable, simply because it was a FATF movie. My favorite part was the very first race with the Viper, everything else was just barely enjoyable.

Not a stellar movie, but it was fun while it lasted. Luckily I saw it after the fact and not in theaters. The drifting was cool, and I'm a sucker for Japan so this sort of fell into a passing fling for me.

This Fast and Furious film was fun but not as good as the others. It had some good action but not as exciting as the previous films. It still has some fun parts

Despite not having Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, or Michelle Rodriguez, it's less dramatic than the first two, more sexy, even more awesome cars, and full of the action you expect and has a better car-racing concept than 2 Fast 2 Furious.
