It's finally happened...I think....I think I...like these movies

All joking aside, Fast Five is a well paced, and well executed action film. The humble street racing elements of the first few movies have been pretty much dropped at this point. There's a bit where Vin Diesel and his crew are taking down a whole army of bad guys with military grade weapons, and I just found myself thinking "how the fuck did we get here" and you know what? I'm not even mad.

Also, Diesel shouting "THIS IS BRAZIL" right in Dwayne Johnson's inexplicably sweaty bald face is next level unintentionally hilarious and I love it.

A very original sci-fi classic
If I find myself watching a film at least once a year, then I know it's got to be good. Or at least good for me. This is one of the best sci-fi/horror films of all time. Vin Diesel shines (get it) as Riddick. A character so great, they continued his story in a couple of films. Neither of them come close to this one, sadly. But at least we got this one.

Here we go again. Lumbering action-fantasy stomper based - I kid you not - on one of Vin Diesel's Dungeons & Dragons games. Mediaeval warrior Kaulder (spelt with a K presumably because it's kooler, a principle I will be observing karefully in this review) battles the Evil Witch Queen and is kursed with immortality. What ensues is basically Highlander meets Hellboy meets Harry Potter meets Blade meets Men in Black: mysteriously, this film attempts to pinch the best bits of all those films and ends up seeming worse than any of them.

Plodding script is largely to blame, also the fact that Vin basically just does his routine smirking-swaggering-smug performance for most of the film. Usual excess of CGI doesn't help the situation much either. Michael Kaine (look how kool I've made him seem) somehow manages to emerge with dignity, but he's about the only one. Lazy film-making in virtually every way that matters (although it scrapes another point for the moment when Vin Diesel dolphins a giant wooden insect). Are they really still planning a sequel? Kount me out.

Your use of ‘K’ rather than ‘C’ really made me laugh!

Well done
Im not a big Vin Diesel fan(you won't catch me watching any sequels to Fast and Furious) but I enjoyed his performance in this movie. This movie was very well done. Great cinematography, good acting and a cool, dark, fantastical story. Very entertaining with good characters, cool magic and a few interesting twists. I'm not sure how, but I think I'd enjoy a good sequel to this one. Fun and entertaining this one fits the criteria for a good movie. Watch it with thre family! Really worth a watch!

Bloodshit is closer to the truth
Ok so CGI poor, Vin Diesel looks bored and Guy Pearce dialing in another bad guy performance (Iron Man 3). What happened to Guy Pearce? Memento, L A Confidential etc he was great. Now just seems either lame or lazy.
Anyway, Booldshit, sorry, Bloodshot is not great. So so story, and fight scenes are okish but overall not worth your time.
Except Eiza Gonzalez who is stunningly gorgeous and worth the watch just for her.
Otherwise, avoid like COVID 19!
