Vin Diesel opted to not appear in the sequel to the film the shot him to stardom in the first place, The Fast and the Furious. With the character of Dominic Toretto out of the picture, 2 Fast 2 Furiou... read more read more...s concentrates exclusively on the latest exploits of undercover agent Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker. In addition, with director Rob Cohen passing, producers have added a dash of credibility to the sequel by hiring John Singleton to helm. What does completely remain from the first film is the presence of fast-living underground street-racing gangs. Moving from Los Angeles to Miami, O'Connor is looking to redeem himself after the events of the first movie, so he again goes undercover to infiltrate another group of thuggish car enthusiasts. This time around he's enlisted the help of ex-con Roman Pierce (Tyrese) and fellow agent Monica Celemente (Eva Mendes) to bring down Carter Verone (Cole Hauser), an importer/exporter who heads up a massive drug trafficking operation. Heading up the supporting cast are hip-hop stars Ludacris and Fabolous. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

    This was so boring. I only enjoyed the ending. And I did expected Vin Diesel to be here not just his name you know!

    Loved the cars again, but a whole new cast aside from Walker made it not a worthy sequel.

    Lordy Lord! Another crap sequel from the Hollywood stable of rubbish rehashes. I had low expectations of this movie....it doesn't have Vin Diesel in it for a start. But what I got was a collection of wooden actors and cheesy lines, interspersed with "race" sequences that made me ... read morelaugh a lot. I should have realised it was going to be dire literally from the get-go. The Universal logo mutates into a chrome-plated wheel in the most irritatingly ludicrous manner. Spoilers ahead.

    So what is so horrible about this film? For a start the acting sucks worse than a Dyson. The opening race meet scene had me cringing in my seat, hoping it would get better. It didn't. Then there's the plot, or lack of one. Let's rehash the first film and nobody'll notice. Bah!

    The scripting is awful. The hero's buddy (name escapes me due to disinterest) actually steals something from a supposed drug-baron (again not sure if he was a drug-baron, was fighting the urge to read the paper at the time) whilst the latter is offering him a job. Come on! That makes about as much sense as ....well....nothing! You just would not do that, unless you were the world's most retarded individual. Sadly, his character survives the movie. Then there's the villain's two goons, who come across as stereotypical thick grunts who haven't had an original thought between them for years. Tiresomely predictable.

    The cars all look like they've escaped from a Scalextric set, with the exception of the hero's racer, which has had the "mobile tanning salon" upgrade. Damn, but he's gonna get skin cancer and cattaracts if he continues to drive that! Then you have to wonder just what sort of engine can accelerate a car from 0-80 in gasp!, only 20 seconds! Such speed! G-Forces pulling.....can't continue.....review.....must hit....brake! Yep, I could take my old Vauxhall Vectra out and give these machines a run for their money! Twenty seconds....sheeeshh!

    The crowning hilarity regarding the race scenes was that a) the cars apparently needed nitrous to reach 100mph, and b) When they hit the nitro the cars went into hyperspace. I'm serious! Everything blurred and streaked past. Everytime it happened I kept expecting to see Chewbacca pop up from the back, waving a wrench and going "Whoooaarrhg!" Give me a break! I have to say this had me in stitches every time it happened but I'm surprised they didn't resort to burning tire-tracks a la Back to the Future as well. So lame.

    Another annoying fact is that Hollywood seems to think that 80mph is fast and 100mph only reachable by real racer types. Obviously they've never been on any British motorway. And our hero clocked 150mph in his death-defying leap off a bridge. It would all perhaps seem more impressive than it was, if the streets were narrower, or you actually cared about any of the characters. Or that a motorcyclist wasn't clocked on the M1 doing 157 mph. And he didn't even have R2D2 on the back, much less Chewie.

    So, underwhelmed would be the best word to sum up this film. The racing isn't exciting, the acting is bad and the plot is some Miami Vice reworking with incredulous bits thrown in for bad measure. All in all, a better name for this film might have been "The Dull and the Repetitive" 2 lame 2 watch

    Just an ok sequel to "Fast and Furious". The series honestly doesn't feel the same without Vin Diesel, but Tyrese does infuse fresh blood. He is much more charismatic than Walker or Cole Hauser(the villain). The story is eh just ok, and it feels a bit dated, like it should hav... read moree been an 80's movie(even though it came out in 2003). One of the weaker "Furious" movies, but still mildly entertaining all things considered.

    You know a sequel is going to suck when the main actors from the first one don't sign on for a second, leaving the producers to recast, come up with an entirely new story, and loosely relate it back to the original, just so they can market it under the original's name. Such is th... read moree fate of 2 Fast 2 Furious.
    It at least has Paul Walker returning as the lead. He's now in Florida, a disgraced ex-cop as a result of letting Toretto escape. He's still into street racing, and has made new friends. He's hired by the same FBI agent to go undercover to stop a drug lord. Tons of things about this plot make no sense, like why the drug lord can smuggle drugs across the border no problem but not his money. But it doesn't matter. The only reason this movie exists is to make money.
    The first Fast and Furious movie had lots of cars and hot ladies (and hot men too). So 2 Fast 2 Furious has to have twice the amount of cars and hot ladies. A good forty percent of the movie is basically shots of cars and skin. I have no problem with that, except I'm paying money to watch an action flick. I can look at shots of cars and models for free on the internet.
    The racing sequences are terrible. They rehash everything from the first one, but the visual flair is gone. There are only so many times you can see cars ride side by side until someone gets fed up and hits the NOS button.
    As is typical with films with bad plots, 2 Fast 2 Furious has the usual cliches of bad filmmaking. Plot holes that raise tons of questions that the writers probably never thought to ask themselves, so you know said questions will not be answered. Protagonists who coast through the narrative, like nothing is at stake. Stupid gangsters who serve as better comic relief than the comic relief. And tons of bad actors citing really bad dialogue.
    What a shame. Tyrese Gibson takes over as Paul Walker's partner, and I like Tyrese. He's no Vin Diesel, but he's good in this movie. So are Paul Walker and Ludacris. Too bad they're let down by the rest of the cast, the brutal, unfunny, and tedious script, as well as the all around horrible filmmaking. This is a direct to video sequel with the budget of a summer blockbuster that tarnishes the name of The Fast and the Furious.

    Basically the same as the first, without the presence of the only thing that made the first one watchable, Vin Diesel. Bad acting, and horrible one liners makes it even harder to like.

    Since the first one was absolutely breathtakingly adrenaline pumping explosive car racing action packed, I had forgotten completely about 2 fast 2 furious 10 minutes later. But it is actually very well made. I could easily say that this film is amazing is it was made first, but t... read morehat is not the case and there are the few loved characters from the original that have gone missing in this instalment, but putting that aside, I think it's safe to call this movie awesome! 2 Fast 2 Furious focusses on Brian O'Connor, the now ex-cop, who is working with the authorities, using his talents, along with his best childhood friend (Tyrese Gibson). Brian O'Connor must redeem himself in order to retrieve his badge again. This instalment in the "Fast and Furious" franchise is not the best, but it is a lot of fun!!!

The vehicular action in 2 Fast is profoundly low-tech, and engagingly brawny. Full Review

Director John Singleton once promised greatness with Boyz N the Hood. Here he's going through the paces with a story that was old by the second season of Miami Vice. Full Review

Walker and Tyrese go for a no-frills style, giving the antiheroic protagonists solid emotional underpinnings before all the fancy driving gets started.

This John Singleton-directed sequel provides a breezy enough joyride,but it lacks the unassuming freshness of the economy-priced original. Full Review

The pic is closer to the PlayStation experience of Gran Turismo than to a movie. This is not to say that it isn't fun, only to say that it is more about sensation than sense.

It's not every movie that would announce its shortcomings right in its title.
