Comments for failed critics http://failedcritics.com On stage, the barricades are an all singing, all dancing, revolving masterpiece. In the movie, which had a not insubstantial $61 million budget, the barricades are built from a couple of old chairs.

Jimbo, you need to get yourself some ‘Initial D’ if you like Drifting <3

Though you could watch it now!

The thing is the audience has grown with each release!

If I had my serious head on and had never seen ant of the others I think I might have had serious issues with this one.

The Brown coats, the discovery (by Frank) of loads of corpses around the train…

The pattern I’m spotting though is that people who’ve seen the other films in the franchise love this. I have not. Therefore, I didn’t like this.

As silly, badly written, even badly acted at times, I just love the whole franchise (Except Number 2 – yet I can still manage to sit through it). I love Tokyo Drift, because I love eastern films and the culture surrounding this film is great! 4 I enjoyed, yet 5 I loved and now 6 – i can say I like it just a little more than 5!

Yet for a franchise to be in it’s 6th film and take the money it’s taking is incredible. Usually after the 3rd film the hard core fans stay loyal while the rest drop off. Yet this seems to have a growing fan base. And Kudos for their next installment they bring in the the STATH. Add his fan base on top…. sure fire hit AGAIN!

I also thought the chemistry between the group was very good, there were some pretty funny lines. Though the silly one liners in the action sequences were a tad lame. I liked the Tank Sequence, I loved the plane sequence. The fights were well staged and I liked Carano (not having liked her at all in Haywire – unless she was kicking the c*** out of someone). Her and Rodriguez’s fight was very well done!

My wife is always watching these films on ITV 2 she likes them a lot and so I get the chance to see it again this weekend! BONUS!
