Went to see this last night and if the 10 pm showing is any indication of turnout over the weekend this movie will make some big $$$.
If you are a fan of these movies, minus maybe 3 & 4 (my daughter ignores those) then you will enjoy the cars and action in this one. Interestingly enough, right after the credits start another scene starts that wraps up/connects/replays something so stay seated until you see how they setup #7.
All in all it was fast paced as #5 was and some good chase scenes/stunts/CG.
On a side note, The Rock seems like he has gone back to using because he is bigger still than in Pain & Gain (title should have been All Pain, No Gain).

Sweet!
This a must see for the us, really looking forward to watching it. We either go to the first showing in the morning or to one of the last in the evening.
Hmm, might watch this at the drive in. They have Star Trek and the Hangover playing together on one screen and then Fast & Furious 6 and Epic on the other screen.Eat, Sleep, Lift...Repeat!

Select theaters had a 10pm showing last night and the wife and my youngest were just as eager and we bought our tickets the day before. The good thing is that it's reserved seating so know reason to camp out early.
Also, reminiscent of days gone by, people actually cheered and clapped after a couple of scenes.
The fast cars/race scenes will likely have no meaning for you so unless you like to watch hot women fighting each other, or women in tight clothing, it's best to stay home. :
You have to put down the kettle bells a bit more often.

I watched the series up until the third installment. The first movie was really cool, but after that, same ol' same ol'. I'm not into fast cars all that much. I do like Jordana Brewster, though.

Dyed in the wool 100% gearhead here but I am in the minority as I feel the chase scene in Bullitt sucks ass. Charger loses 7 hubcaps, they pass the same cars over and over, the scenes where the film is sped up look ridiculous, etc.
I have enjoyed the Fast & Furious movies...except for whichever one was Tokyo Drift as that sucked. I think it was #5 that had a few scenes shot down in Puerto Rico, one of the tour guides pointed out the areas they used while filming."You know that little thing in your head that keeps you from saying things you shouldn't? Yeah, well, I don't have one of those."

It sucked. Calling it an action film categorically diminishes real action action films. Trying to qualify how great it is by suggesting that with many years you have lived and thus suggesting the many action movies you must have seen and claiming this is the greatest only reinforces the fact that it sucks.

I seen fast and furious 6 last night. Movie was simply amazing. Very,very good movie. By far the best out of the 6.
In my opinon fast and the furious 4 or (fast and furious), whatever, the one with "braga" the mexican drug cartell leader, that one was the worst in my opinion.
I think it goes in order of best to worst: 6,5,1, 2,3,4.
I also thought tyrese gibbons, was hilarious throughout the movie, good acting. And the fight scene at the end with the rock, vin diseal, owen shaw, and the jacked dude on cell tech, was awesome
Overall great movie.

diffferent generation with HIGH propensity for "irrealism" in action movies ( MTV ******** video games etc) but the 10-24 make the bulk of the B.O.
the good part is that this BO generated helps keep funding available for independant movies, adult movies (didn't mean porn lol)
fortunately there's still some good smart stuff still for the oldies like us, like JACK REACHER, DRIVE (in the category
of action with a plot and "realism"....)
big fan of Vin Diesel though but as he age let's hope he evolves to satisfy "his " generation too (he's gonna play Kojak btw, curious to see that)
PITCH BLACK was a smart sci fi stuff also...
this guy has 42M fans on ********, numero uno.... crazy
fan of THE ROCK too who balances between kids stuff and adult stuff (i'm of the few who liked WALKING TALL...)
