This one creates some weird timeline problems by killing off a character who would appear in future installments but at the end of the day it was worth it to halt the entire franchise and focus on the electric screen presence of Lucas Black playing a 39 year old high school student

someone pay me to write about the fast and the furious franchise, i'll make it poetic and beautiful like these movies deserve. oh yeah this is a total masterpiece, like just so good in every conceivable way, even the discount paul walker feels perfect especially in the overarching nature of the franchise. it's the only film that doesn't neatly fit into the series but it represents the truth at the heart of fast and furious, that cars are phenomenal but what matters is who's driving them.

While I was entertained with certain aspects of this movie overall I can only give it a 6/10. Interesting at times but generally lacking as a Fast n Furious movie. I can see the opportunity they were trying to capitalize on. The idea of introducing new cast and showing Japanese car culture probably sounded great but to me it was almost too much of a departure from the series. I did enjoy parts of the movie though so I can't rate it as my least favorite of the many films in the series. One last note that many others have already talked about is ... This is not the third movie chronologically in the story. So to people who are casually fans the story it may seem out of place if you thought it came right after the second movie. Favorite car is Han's orange RX7.

was a bit boring but then it picked up

I found this Justin Lin's first directorial for the fast and furious franchise was suprisingly enjoyable. Beside the race cars and the film take place in Tokyo, the drift also caught my attention here, not to mention the iconic soundtrack.
The mafia/yakuza thing and the lack of Sean's charisma as the main character were my least favorite from this movie.
Well it's a popcorn movie, so i enjoyed it

Welp they keep getting less interesting as we go, Tokyo Drift takes us to a totally new location following a whole new cast of colourful bland characters. It's hard to grasp the stakes and situations at first because the 'teenagers' are being played by full grown adults, totally compromising any sense of the 'little guys' going after the respect or rebelling against the 'grown ups.'

I guess it's just becoming more about the big vrooms and sexual energy. So far all we've learnt is that if you want to get the pretty girl you better know how to drive the car good.

caralho mané filme mais brabo de todos velozifurioso kkkk os drift boladao mané fui fazer no strada do meu padrasto quais capotei aqui filme foda e a musiquinha kkkkkk auana ifiu nó toguerini tokió braboooooo malai bilá UUUUUUAAAAAAUUUUUUUU

Bawitdaba plays in its entirety within the first ten minutes of the movie.

It was an alright Fast and Furious movie. Had a tiny impact on the franchise but it was only it just introducing Han for next 3 movies. One cool thing in the movie is that the director decided to have Dom show up at the end to connect it into the franchise

The most fascinating film in the franchise. Some call this one the most underappreciated Fast & Furious film, I'd say it was the one with the most potential.

The opening HS race is complete s***, but once we get to Tokyo the film takes a culturally observant turn that I found rather fascinating. Even the language barrier is communicated through driving; Sean (a young adult who always solves issues the "American" way) is a good enough driver, but to learn how to drift is like learning a new language. Plus, Justin Lin brings a vibrancy to this franchise that would only get better from here.

It's just a shame that this was Sean's story, as he is arguably the least interesting character here. Everything that is thematically fascinating is funneled through the character of Han, and I wish it was more his story. Thankfully we get more Sung Kang in future films.

These aren't characters
