I am pretty sure they just turn to dust when overcome by American awesomeness.<br /><br />@NB: I think you just said that your main problem with Fast Five is its lack of realism. That is an interesting place to draw a line in the sand, friend.Brian Vs.

Speeding through a heavy populated city attached to a giant safe means many people will die (especially when it goes on for as long as it did). This movie should have been rated R because that safe should have been red with the blood of many hapless Brasilians. Also, having some knowledge of cars means that there were only about a zillion thing wrong with that scene. These two factors made that scene no fun for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169788203783133877.post-10505386134209666472011-11-11T12:48:57.848-06:002011-11-11T12:48:57.848-06:00It is true that one of the action scenes was compl...It is true that one of the action scenes was completely car-free, but I thought there was plenty of car chases to go around. But how can you say that the safe sequence was too dumb in a BIG. DUMB. ACTION. movie? Did you need it to get bigger or to have more collateral damage? I thought that was the perfect amount of ridiculous action.<br /><br />It could definitely have been better, but I doubt that the dumbness can effectively be tuned down.Brian Vs.

First off, the climatic chase at the end is too much of the middle capitalized word (Was the bottom of the safe made of grease?). Secondly, there was far too much of the planning shit and not enough car chases or races, the latter of which is the backbone of the this franchise. Thirdly, I totally disagree that you are not a "car guy." Overall, the action did not make up for the movie's retardation for me. However, it was great to see The Rock and Vinny get back to what they were made for: dramatic acting in a period piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
