I figure most of you aren't going to see this movie, so I'm just going to give it away.
The 3rd installment to the franchise arrives with a new director, Justin Lin and no recognisable faces from the 1st two movies. Well, not until the end anyway, which was a nice touch.
The plot is shamelessly ripped off from countless kungfu movies and blatently the karate kid. Except this involves cars. Lots of cars. And lots of Japanese girls. The story is wholly lame and the characters one dimensional and uninspired.
Nevertheless the movie has great shots, excellent camera work and editing and the driving is much more exciting than its predecessors. There are some nice camera crane moves and I suspect a good chunk of the driving scenes are CGI, but it comes together very nicely for the most part.
The first movie emphasised flat out speed while this movie showcases the agility of the drivers and cars. This is tokyo after all, there are not that many places to drive over 200kmh.
Oh yeah, female lead much better looking than male lead. Acting ability same-same.
Hmm, this post/review is looking kinda uninspired.
To watch or not to watch. If you're a Gran Tourimo fan, Yes. Otherwise wait for it to come out on Astro and watch if you've got nothing better to do that night.
