The best of the series, which isn't saying much. A lot of the movie goes like this "we need to get i to the safe." "Well I just happen to know a guy." Very much like Oceans 11.

This movie tried to be more like Ocean's Eleven than Fast and the Furious. There was one point when there was about to be a drag race for a pink slip, and it just cut to the scene of them driving the car into the garage after winning it. Are you kidding me?...oh and The Rock needs to stop doing movies, he's a terrible actor.

Fast pacing, fast action and humor. This says it all I think.

this movie does not bother to make an attempt at "suspension of disbelief", even if just for minute. Other than some fairly cool action scenes, this has to be one of the worst movies in recent memory

The action in this film is just crazy and the inclusion of Dwayne Johnson together with all the previous characters was a very clever move by Justin Lin. The taste it gives one of the cars and girls is unbeatable. It almost makes the viewer feel involved completely in the film. This one is highly recommendable to all film lovers and even for family time.

A fitting end to a franchise that will inevitably birth more sequels. This film embraces the implausibility of the franchise and focuses on bringing back nearly all of the past films' principle characters, plus the Rock, to battle it out in a series of exciting and farfetched action sequences. This results in a mostly fun movie, though, every time the film tries to create some sort of dramatic or emotional scene, it gets a little boring and/or silly. Almost as good as #1, better than #2, #, and #4.

In my opinion, much better than all previous to itself, but deviates from the whole racing storyline. The whole story plot quickly made up for this, lots of action and special effects, flawless. My favorite part has to be paul walkers character, if any of you have already seen this movie and know your cars, hes first off sporting a classic skyline, being thats what all the movies set him to drive, i love it. A must see for everyone

Fast Five hits off the 2011 movie hit season with all the original characters, and many others, from the other Fast and Furious movies. The 4th movie was pretty good, but this movie stepped it up a bit more and was highly entertaining and has everything you want with fast cars and hot girls. I still think the best one is the first one, which is almost always the case, but Fast Five comes in second best out of the series. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Jordana Brewster make up an awesome team. They did steal a little of the story line from the Oceans movies, but it works. I can't wait till the next movie, and yes, it looks like there will be.

A straight-up action movie that is a great time. Given the success of Fast and Furious, it was inevitable they would make another sequel, and based on the success of this film, you can bet there will be more. There is enough action to satisfy action adventure fans, but also enough of a story to sustain a film too. The movie builds to an elaborate heist (think Ocean's 11 with fast cars) that doesn't disappoint with a pretty spectacular chase scene. Predictable? Sure, but fun? You bet.
