Why mess with PERFECTION!??!?!


So let's talk about The Fast and the Furious franchise. I should preface by saying, "Vinnie D, you my boi!!!!!" That aside I feel like all these sequels will have to fall short of the original and I will tell you why. 1. THE fast and THE furious implies that the story will be told about a select group of badass' that are both fast and furious-AWESOME...but 2. The sequel, 2 fast 2 furious seems like a movie about a group of people toiling in excess, and anyone who toils in the excess of speed and furiousness cannot have a proper hero, heroin, or even anti hero. So I'm forced to conclude that the premise of the movie is flawed. 3. Fast and the Furious 3-Tokyo Drift obviously takes place in some foreign land and is therefore UNamerican. Here in America we drive cars, we dont drift them. 4. Finally the recent installment "Fast and Furious" lacks either the qualifier "the" or "2" which implies that everyone in the movie is both Fast and Furious with no 'normal' people set opposite them to emphasize how cool they are so...boring....right. Who wants to watch a movie where everyone plays the same character??

Think about it?
