A horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meagre joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination. One star.
Happy Holidays from Roger Ebert. I did not think "Fast and Furious" sucked, but I won't argue too hard.
I didn't "Fast and Furious" sucked, either; but I also didn't find it that interesting, other than the first 10 minutes. Which was unfortunate, since I really enjoyed the first and third movies in the series.

The latest film is extremely noisy, features some fine stunt driving, particularly in its opening sequence, but it's dramatically a bit of a dribbler. I'm still trying to figure out the relationship between the opening of the film and the ending.
