Well, I grew up on Knight rider and Dukes of Hazzard, so I'm definitely a fan of car stunts.

But the f&f series often relies on way too much bullshit and CGI instead of showcasing what cars can actually do. Since the dialogue and plots are ham fisted, I don't actually watch the movies any more, unless they're on where I don't have a choice. That's how I've seen what I have.

I only ever saw the first Fast and Furious movie and didn't really like it.

Me neither. It was just ridiculous. When it got to the point where the floor board on the Eclipse mysteriously fell out it was just too all too much, for me. How people who know and love cars ever could think that movie was great is beyond me.

I saw one of the later movies in the cinema, since my date wanted to see it. I felt it was some of the worst goo I'd ever seen, while my date thought it was "fantastic". I remember thinking "this isn't going to work out..", hehe.

Some of the fight scenes have been neat, with Idris for example, but the car action has been trash.

The I'm Black Superman line in the trailer is awesome:
