    I just went to see the Need for Speed movie and I gotta say, there were so many things wrong with this movie.

    From the dumb plot to the fact that a bunch of broke ass mechanics could get multiple specialized air as well as land vehicles, wth.
    Also, a mustang could never reach 230mph (if at all) on a race track without having a mindblowingly long straight.

    Any thoughts?

    Just one.

    It's a movie, not reality check.

    It was meh. The only reason I even saw it was because my wife forced me to go. She loves herself some Aaron Paul lol

    I expected a movie similar to F&F. Good chases and stunts, but less boring subplots and less ****ty american cars . It deserves it's 24% rotten tomatoes rating

    It's entertainment, not a documentary. That said, there are plenty of documentaries out there that are just as fictional with their content. You do realise that if movies were realistic almost all of them would be different, and certainly less entertaining.

    Doesnt that describe NFS in general.

    Interesting thread though, started it to inform us its crap, but we let you have it for doing so instead of saying thanks for saving me pennys.

    ....will wait for DVD, cheers for the heads up man:thumbup:

    Apparently theres no cgi in the film, was any of the stunts far fetched.

    If it's as bad as some of you are saying, I'm surprised that Aaron Paul had anything to do with this film, after his excellent Jesse Pinkman part in 'Breaking Bad.'

    Jesse Pinkman can do no wrong! Hold on. If it was a film about Jesse Pinkman on a meth binge, speeding across the country while the CIA/NSA/US Army were chasing him.. I want to see that movie.

    You sure, I was going to wait until ALL other forms of media entertainment had been destroyed by the EA Overlord and the populous (or end users as the human race shall be known) are forced to watch the movie streamed over a forced implanted Origin brain chip, a cunning means to desensitize the 'end users' to crap so that they at least have the idea that their are willingly giving their cash for crap that EA produce rather actually having no option in the emptying of their wallets.

    No, no it really really did not. ;)

    The only thing Jesse Pinkman would do is get caught, it was all WW.

    I think the movie was good, it is an adaptation of Need for Speed nothing else !!
    What did you expect to be a real life movie (show me a real life chase as you see in the movies whit more that 1 car being chase) , and i like that is not a clone of F&F.
    The plot is normal for a Hollywood movie but weaker that F&F.
    And modded cars can go very fast ( so a modded Mustang can go faster that a stock ).
    For me Need for Speed seems more realistic that F&F (normal chases not the ones that are in mines where they run like hell or dragging a safe).
