Review of 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) by Dylan D — 17 May 2015

Flashy but tedious, fast but not all that furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious makes for a decent standalone movie but it also pales in comparison to its predecessor in heart and soul, the two areas that count the most.

The flaw in this film stems not necessarily from the absence of Vin Diesel, the addition of any other characters, or even the story, but from a lack of meaning. 2 Fast 2 Furious is sort of like a fast food meal; it does all it needs to do, satiating one's hunger in both a short amount of time and for a relatively small amount of money.

Nevertheless, it lacks in nutritional content, is wholly unoriginal, and is completely forgettable only hours later. There's nothing wrong with that, and 2 Fast 2 Furious does what it does well enough, but it's nevertheless a major letdown next to the first film.
