Can't be any worse than the post Tokyo Drift Fast and Furious movies.

As for Robocop remake, absolutely awful as a Robocop movie (completely misses everything that makes the original great) however as a random generic action flick it's not bad at all.

The previews look awful.

Story (if existing) was totally neglected in the trailer as well.

Story is almost always neglected in movie trailers... that's no indicator.

IMDB votes (so far) are much better than expected, so why not give the movie the benefit of the doubt.



I find it really strange that there isn't a NFS game releasing with this movie... or at least that this movie and Rivals were released in the same timeframe..

4 reviews and all of them are positive (so far). It's looking like a good action movie. Plus it has Jesse Pinkman

Not quite sure how that happened, especially given one of the reviews only gave the movie 2/5. That's a fail in my books.

Lol they changed it now to rotten. So 3 positive and 1 rotten

And it's all down hill from there I'd wager. Even the positive reviews are saying it's devoid of plot. The one positive thing, apparently, is that there's no CGI it's all real stunts, which is pretty impressive, but outrageously expensive. But I imagine the super cars they trash in the movie are actually all Toyota Corollas with a fibreglass super car shell.

I mostly agree with that assessment, though I wouldn't say absolutely awful. I'd just leave it at not as good as the original. It still has some heart and emotion to it.

A knock-off of a stupid series (The Fast and the Furious) that uses a video game license...
But it doesn't seem to be as horrible as it sounds. Just another mediocre racing movie.



It's officially bad. 24% on Rotten Tomatoes. Higher than I probably would have guess (I would have guessed in the teens), but still really bad.

Still, who am I to judge? I saw all 3 Transformers movies in the cinema, and will see the 4th one at the cinema too. But big robots fighting and blowing things up with no plot and mediocre acting (and now with added dinobots!) > car chases and crashes and blowing up with no plot and mediocre acting.
