2 Fast 2 Furious was my favorite entry in the series until Fast Five rolled along.

Unlike Supermallet, I did not loathe the film, and it is not the type of film I would pick apart anyway...it is a rollercoaster ride that I enjoyed, but yeah, it falls apart if you think too hard about what you are seeing on the screen. It felt like a good film to end the series, but Universal will only pass on the option to make another film if you pry that option from their cold dead fingers.
I felt that the film was one action set piece after another, so it was nice and touching at the end when the film slowed down to catch its breath.

Furious 7 is a dour movie that doesn't have an ounce of fun in it.

2 Fast is objectively the worst F&F movie, but it's so totally silly that it ends up being a ton of fun. It helps that it doesn't take itself seriously in any way, shape, or form, and Paul Walker is so super goofy. It's a totally meaningless, pointless, dumb movie and I love every minute of it.

I've rewatched bits of 2 Fast on TV before Furious 7 came out and I mostly find the characters in the movie too obnoxious to have much fun with it, especially since it doesn't have the stunts to make up for it like 5-6-7 do. I don't disagree with Furious 7 being dour as far as it's story and characters go this time around, but despite my complaints about the action getting too nuts I still had a lot of fun with them.
That's why I keep going back to Fast Five as my favorite, as it had the best combination of characters (including guys like Roman being turned down a notch from 2 Fast), as well as it ending on a happy note for everyone.

Same. I'll still get the BD, but I don't see this one having as much replay value as 5 & 6.
Same.
Not sure I agree with this description completely, but it is silly and totally fun.

This film is a money making beast...I think it has a shot at out-grossing the original Avengers film, 1.6 billion is not out of reach. It has already cleared 250m in China, and still has 2 weeks free to make bank internationally.

2 Fast 2 Furious is hilarious, never quite sure if intentional in the "so bad it's good" way or not, so I give it that.
The stupidity in the title is completely accurate to the movie itself though.

Saw it Friday, it was fun and relatively enjoyable. Definitely liked 5 & 6 better.
The end of this one was very good regardless of Paul Walker's death. They definitely could have ended there but because it is a massive cash cow it won't. I would prefer they drop the F&F name though since this really is no longer about cars or street racing but action. I don't mind either way but F&F should have much more of the street racing element these films no longer do.
And nice job giving Paul Walker a good send off. Of course he never won a legit race against Diesel.

I think i've decided to put 7 ahead of 6; really dig the "See You Again" song at the end.
