Hollywood Gossips Review:

2 Fast 2 Furious has all cool themes - cool cars, pretty girls (well the beach scene :P), high production values, big budget, cool car chases and a cool rap score. However all these tend to become the reason of the movie failure. The opening scene was brilliantly shot through many cool car chase camera angles and thrills and car chases was well maintain all the way to the half way point of the movie, and what was intending to be an interesting and cool young adult movie turns into a cheesy ending and some very bad plot-holes and unrealistic scenes.

The casting of the lead female role was quite bad as Eva Mendes is not even hot or pretty, well at least I think so. The Japanese girl Devon Aoki, although not particularly beautiful, actually performed in a way that looks sexy and hot. Her performance is natural and almost a scene stealer in her pretty minor role. Paul Walker as the lead is one of the worst casting for the movie, he may have the looks, but his acting, is just plain unbearably horrible and unbelievable. Well in order words - not natural. However Tyrese's acting shows immense contrast and is cool at the same time. His acting is fun, natural and by far out-act Walker in all their scenes together.   

2 Fast 2 Furious is by all means not totally a crap piece of shit, but is a movie that is totally in-attachable, too simple and far too cheesy ending. I just can not believe that I actually guess the ending, and if you criticize people doing kung-fu on wires, well, think about too much uses of wire in a car scene. It is just ridiculous and stupid. Well, if you like cars, loved The Fast and the Furious, rap music the louder but cheesy sequel may not be 2 Fast and 2 Furious for ya! Well, I just didn't like it! (Andrew, 2003)

P.S. The dialogue are lame and not even a single line being memorable.
