This seems like it was intended to be watched by 12 year olds, Back then when real men bleached the tops to their bowl cuts blonde, fire shirts were the rage and after they would pop wheelies on their bikes after chugging a few Jolt Colas with the buds until Donnie ralphs (vomits) up his jolt cola. I feel bad for the people who have to read my terrible reviews.
There's an extreme sport, over the top stunts and the bare minimum of dialogue and acting from Vin Diesel. It seems heavily inspired by James Bond and similar spy movies as well and has a somewhat unique twist. Even though this seems like a movie plot some bald bouncer in a dive bar talks about with his friends that never comes out. I'll admit I enjoyed this more than certain James Bond films such as the one with David Niven or some of the later Roger Moore movies. That being said! The soundtrack is full of early 2000s bands that were getting famous around then. Slipknot, Rammstein and other bands I seriously forget already.
The CGI is dated, though I'm glad more of the budget went towards the actual movie. I'll admit
Vin's character is just a bald, white version of Eddie Murphy from Beverly Hills Cop or the director told him to watch The Simpsons, we need a Bart Simpson for your character. Either way all Vin does is crack wise , which must have been a real challenge as Vin is far from a Mensa member. He tells really bad jokes and tries to be as unlikable as possible. The love interest in this is a 5 / 10 maximum, then again Vin's no Ron Jeremy so perhaps a bit believable. Her love interest in him seems forced. The movies Q (Quartermaster) seems more into Vin than she is.
The bad guy has the right look, he's not trying too hard to be cool or anything. I wish they cast him in a better movie.
The last thing I'm going to nitpick about is the car was equipped with just about everything known to man, they had the time to do that but not draw a manual. It seems like a 4th grader, who probably wrote this movies sketch book.
The movie is too long and I'll admit I enjoyed this more than the first 3 fast and the furious movies.

I loved this show as a kid. I remember when it premiered on FOX I thought it was a breath of fresh air to see a kid around my age tell us how things should be. This was like someone wanted a younger version of the movie fight club with Brad Pitt in it how most of that movie was just someone complaining about the way the world currently is.
Trying to binge watch this show is an absolute chore. All the complaining Malcolm does you can put up with for an episode or two but there's no way to watch more than that. Every few episodes I might get a chuckle and I'd say a good 75% of the episodes I didn't see so I should laugh at unexpected scenes.
About 4 seasons in. No one really changes, they get older but that's it. All Lois does is scream at her kids, Hal is just Hal looking for any excuse to strip down to his underwear or do one of his screams, which seriously, how different he was in Breaking Bad shocked me how well he could act. Reece tries to be tough. Besides that it's just Malcolm looking around for things to complain about like someone with no life on social media. (Squeaky voice). You see that kid across the street, heh, his shoe laces aren't tied right. Mine are perfect! Anyways, I'm going to go on on date with this moderately attractive girl.
As I've gotten older the most unlikable character has to be Francis. Sure he moves away and everything so his character could have been worst but it's like the director told him to be the most irresponsible and crappiest person alive and he ran with it.
There was some fun scenes like when they drove a golf car into a pool or Reece getting arrested after driving that car but for the most part unless you're like 12 this show isn't going to age well unless you've got the rosiest tinted glasses ever.
