Fast & Furious 6

It was a lot of fun. But I wasn't as smitten with it as I had been with FF5. It was a bit all over the place, not as tightly woven as FF5. The highlights were, as always, Brian and Dom - though I wish they had more scenes together - and Han and Gisele.

My favorite part was the scene where Brian and Dom learned about Braga's involvement and Brian decided to go back to the States to question him. That was awesome.

And I adored every scene with Han and Gisele. My heart broke when they died. But especially Gisele went out like a boss, saving Han's life. And the appearance of Shaw's older brother, Jason Statham, gave Han's death... purpose, I guess. It wasn't just a nonsensical death during a race, it was an act of vengeance on Shaw's brother's part. That doesn't make it any less heartbreaking, though.

I liked that Elena didn't make a scene when Dom decided to go and find Letty. As she said, if it was her husband, she would go.

The rest I liked but it didn't wow me. The car races were great but not really anything we haven't seen before. I think it might be a good idea for Justin Lin to step down, to let James Wan take over. I mean, the vault scene in FF5 was over the top but fun and exciting. The tank and plane bit in FF6 were... a bit too much, I think. Still a LOT of fun, don't get me wrong, it got my heart racing like whoa! But it didn't top the vault race in FF5.

I would give it... 7/10, I think. I liked it better than Iron Man 3 but not as much as FF5.
