Like the high-revving imports and American muscle cars that roar down the streets of its south Florida setting, 2 Fast 2 Furious is tricked out to the max. While Vin Diesel opted for his XXX franchise, this obligatory sequel to The Fast and the Furious benefits from Diesel's absence, allowing returning star Paul Walker to shine while forging a lively partnership with rising star Tyrese, who fulfills his sidekick duties with more vitality than Diesel could ever muster. The Miami/Dade locations are another bonus, lending colorful backdrop to the most dazzling street-racing sequences (both real and digitally composited) ever committed to film. The plot is disposable--former cop Walker and jailbird Tyrese are recruited by the FBI to dethrone a thuggish kingpin (Cole Hauser)--but director John Singleton keeps the adrenalin pumping, enlisting a rainbow coalition of costars (including rapper Ludacris and Chanel supermodel Devon Aoki) to combine a hip-hop vibe with full-blown action while showcasing hot babes, edgy humor, and some of the coolest cars that ever burned rubber. Heed the movie's warning, kids: Let the stuntmen do the driving. --Jeff Shannon

1) [3.5] Fast, but not too furious   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
2 Fast 2 Furious is your typical sequal. The actions scenes and effects nearly double that of the original. We have a returning character - Brian O Conner (Paul Walker), with the rest of the cast composed of fresh faces that don't carry the same charm from the firt film. Then there is the story, script and dialouge - all felt thrown together with the excuse to produce a sequal so we can get another chance at more tricked out rides and races. Unfortunately unlike its predacessor, all that leaves an impression in the end is the race action.The film begins right away with an explosive street race in Miami at night, which I found more enjoyable than the street race in the first F&F film. In fact, this is one of the best action senes of the movie. At the finish line, cops arrive soon after and take in Brian, who is already wanted for helping Torretto escape in the first film. Brian's record can be wiped clean if he plays ball by going undercover and busting a big dealer in the area - Verone. Brian requests that his old pal "Roman Pierce" (Tyrese) accompany him to complete the deal. The pair go undercover, working for Verone, where another undercover (Eva Mendes) joins them. The whole Miami-drug dealer plotline felt too cliche, so it added very little interest for me. Verone was very boring as the villain and his men are laughably bad and uninteresting. The script and dialouge only adds to the problem, making the film as a whole seem very juvenille and thrown together as compared to the first film. The races and cars are obviously the reason to watch this. The first street race is probably the best, but there are numerous other races and cop chases on the highways throughout the film too. The driving felt faster and more intense this time around. Unlike the first film, we do not nearly get to see into these vehicles as much and what makes them tick (except the gps units the cops installed to watch both Brian and Rome). The two cars that they are given to drive in are nice, but like the owners of the two muscle cars in the film say, kinda look like "cracker jack toys". They just didn't have as strong appeal as the rides in the first film either. The bonus this time around was the muscle cars. There are several race and chase scenes involving these beautiful machines. So if you are into American muscle, there is definelty more of that this time around.This is an ok sequal, pretty average as far as sequals go. If you loved the first for the cars and races, you should be satisfied with 2F2F. However, the rest of the movie doesn't carry much else to even the load. This dvd (just like the Fast and the Furious Tricked Out Edition) contains a 6 minute short film of Brian's journey from L.A. to Miami, which sets up the beginning of this film.Acting - 3Action - 4Characters - 3Story - 3Overall - 3.5

2) 2 fast 2 furious   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
this was a christmas gift to a family member and she loved it. bought this and tokyo drift...she loves the trilogy! can't stop watching. recommened to those who like these types of movies

3) Fun ride!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I think there is enough eye-candy to keep you entertained for 2 hours.The picture jump of the screen as soon as you start the movie.I think what this lacks in story it sure makes up for it with bright and beautiful color and excellent sound that test your speakers though out the film. I have to say John Singleton made this film his own giving us a great visual set piece in Miami. If only the "Miami Vice" film had what this movie has going for it in the visual department it might be easy to watch.

4) Fun moive, looks and sounds great on HD DVD   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This movie is pretty brain dead, but a fun ride anyway. It looks and sounds phenomenal on HD DVD--a bit step up from the already decent DVD release. I now have the other two movies in the series on order on HD DVD.

5) Tyrese Did It For Me   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I might potentially have groupie tendencies when it comes to Tyrese. Pretty much any movie that he's put in, I'm going to track run to the show to see. To put in one of my other favorite things to look at (cars) only complimented the movie more. The cop in "The Fast and the Furious" is on the lookout to arrest some dealers and needs some manpower to help him out. He comes up on an ex-con and a past friend, Tyrese's character, to help him fight the bad guys. Again, I don't get into action movies, but pretty much every time Tyrese came on set, I was all eyes and ears. I didn't really get into Eva Mendez's character and the end of the movie was way too Hollywood for me, but the building of the plot, and again the cars, helped it out some. I was also delighted to see Ludacris in this one.
