3 fast 3 furious

OK, I brokedown and bought The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift today after work. B and I went to Greencastle and feasted on some GCB's and fries. Got home and popped in that movie. Now, before I get into criticizing Tokyo Drift, I want to share with you some words of wisdom that B gave me.
It's like a porno, the only good parts are the one with action in it. Bad storyline, bad dialogue, and bad characters. Other than those things, it was a good movie.
So let's break it down. The main character is a racer, he gets into trouble and his mom sends him to go live with his dad in Japan; to get away from the racing. Uh-huh. That's like moving to Columbia to get over my addiction to cocaine.
Getting away from that, the boy meets his new best friend, girl (he wants to be his girlfriend), and races against the bad guy all in his first day. Of course he loses the race, because the dumb redneck ain't never heard of driftin' before so he can't not do it good. So he wrecks the ride of another guy's (Han) and now is in debted to him. Now Han is the scholar among a den of thieves. Sure, he works for the Yakuza but he's deep! Yes, the rare breed of racing philosophers.
Getting to the meat of the story. The bad guy learns that Han is skimming off the top and sets out to get even. A car chase ensues, using four cars and lots of traffic and pedestrians.
Here's another glitch in the plot. The object of a car chase is for someone to get away from whoever is chasing them. That's why it's a 'chase.' So what's the fastest way from Point A to Point B? A straight line you say? No! Weaving in and out of traffic needlessly is the quickest way. Derrr, what? Did you learn that at school or something? Yes, it was a beautifully choreographed sequence in which four different cars weaved through traffic each on their own path. Very cool.
Anyway, car chase ends when the main character crashes (no injuries) and then Han gets t-boned (car then blows up). All very sad. Good guy loses girl to bad guy at gun point, then good guy decides to see bad guy's uncle to throw down the gauntlet. Bad guy accepts; the loser moves away. ooOOoo.
Final race takes place outdoors, it looks like Pikes Peak. The race is downhill, lots of U-turns, J-turns, and S-turns. The perfect place to drift; if you don't, you fall off the cliff. The good guy wins through quick thinking, gets the girl, and the respect of his fellow racers.


SPOILER
Before the end credits roll, our main character is challenged by an old friend of Han's, Vin Disel.


So overall, I give this movie a B+. What? It's like a porno. Good action, and that counts for alot in my book.
