Never thought of it that way. Might have to watch it again.

I watched Fast Five the other day and I think it's the best. It's just as ridiculous as the other films for its action sequences, particularly one where two lightweight sports cars drag a ten tonne safe at high speeds and use it as a weapon to ram other vehicles, but the plotting and acting is actually decent and the action isn't reliant on CGI and blurry effects. It doesn't fetishise the cars as much either, probably because they made a conscious decision to move away from the street racing theme and use more heist movie tropes which makes it much more involving.

It feels like, in Fast Five, that they tried making a solid action movie instead of a F&F movie. And me, not liking the series up until that point, appreciated it. Everything this person said.

Yeh I think I need to watch it again in a different mindset. I guess I was expecting more extreme cars and fast driving than in the previous movies.

It felt like an actual movie. Granted, it didn't feel like a great movie but it felt like a regular action movie and The Rock actually helped make it better.
I'm still not looking forward to whatever the hell the 6th one is, but I'll probably end up watching that one, too.
