The Fast and Furious series

Out of all 3 movies, I thought the first one was the best. The third movie seemed to be better then the 2nd movie. But I think they should make a 4th movie with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker to end the series. Tell me what you guys think.

I think Vin Diesel wants too much money and they will never give him the 20 - 30 mil that he wants. Paul Walker is out too...I think they need to go to Europe next.

I also think the 1st one was the best, but for some reason I watch the 2nd one the most.

The 2nd one seem to use to much computer graphics, which left the movie looking kind of unreal. The 3rd movie seems to be way off plot comparing to the first 2. It's almost like the 3rd movie could just be called Tokyo Drift, which could start it's own series. I think the 2nd movie was somewhat of a drop, probably because Vin wasn't in it.

I think Vin Diesel needs to come back. He really doesn't have a career unlike what he thinks.

I loved the first, thought the second was really good, and thought the third was good. Though, I think the real stars are the cars and I have no problem with them continuing to fire out sequels. As mentioned, hit up Europe.

The first one really was a fun movie to watch, and I'm not the kind of person who would get sucked into a flic like that easily.

ok but what kind of cars would they use if it was in Europe? certainly not anything like they've been using.

Probably the (UK version) Mitsubishi LANCER EVOLUTION VIII MR FQ-400

Would love to see a hooked up Noble or Aston Martin.

I've enjoyed all of them, ranking them in order 1, 2, and Drift. I didn't think I would like Drift since with the exception of the one small cameo, there was nothing to connect it to the first two, but it was a fun watch. I agree that they should bring back and headline Vin & Paul in a new movie.

As for Vin's career, I thought I had read they were giong to turn the xXx series into a sort of James Bond thing where every few years they'd release a new movie. Seems like if Vin is the one that turned down doing more, he shot his career in the foot. What has he starred in since? Find Me Guilty? That went over like a lead balloon.
