Ratings and reviews

I'd feel bad for everyone involved in this if they hadn't made money from it, but since they did, I'm upset with them for doing such an aggressively awful job with a sequel that would've been massively successful had it been even passable. Instead, we get a few cheap gags, a lot of poor CGI, and acting that's just about as painful as the writing. I did like the way they ended it, but even that pretty much just affirmed how pointless this movie was, and didn't go nearly far enough to justify an extra star.

The 3-star rating is for one reason only: NICK STAHL.... not a good move at all. But ms Kristina Loken has some of the best legs I've ever seen on a movie. Which is why I dont give this a 1 star rating. Because this was by far the worse out the first 3. I dont even count "salvation" as a part of this series. Fk that.

As the title portends the franchise has risen to machinehood. The action and lack of suspense along with all of the non-existent pensiveness wrapped up in the development of this film left me pretty sure that the machines are in full control of all aspects from here in out. I am not sure if I will bother with the next two unless I need a remix of The Fast and the Furious.
