For the record, before someone attacks me, I'm not slagging Fast and Furious for being trashy.

 

Trashy films can be fun.

 

Some of my favourite films are trashy cash-grabs.

[John Marston]

Well made as in Story, direction, casting and script?Or do you mean "too expensive"?

I haven't seen Fast 6 yet but Fast Five was as well made as any good action movie

DMC = perfect summer popcorn blockbuster 

 

This. mega-charismatic leading man playing iconic character (Depp), hot romance (Sparrabeth), state-of-the-art money shots (Davey Jones), love triangle, big character death, addition of a rugged manly man (pirate Norrington), big twist (Barbossa), awesomeone villain (Jones), inventive action (three-way swordfight), raising the epic bar. I`m sure that STiD lacks most of it.  

[Ozymandias]

I agree, bad movies can be very enjoyable.

 

I wouldn't something like Fast Five though "bad" just because its over the top.  Its a very well made movie.  Bad movies is soulless shit like Clash of the Titans, Tron Legacy, Transformers, Twilight, Die Hard 5, Taken 2.

 

Fast Five got a 78% fresh rating on RT which is astounding for that kind of movie.  Its well made movie, end of story.

Define trashy.

 

Seriously.  What makes one film trashy and another classy?

[Elessar]

but you live in Germany.

 

I know! Hate all those Turks!

[Krissykins]

Speaking of trashy, when's that next big robot movie coming out?

 

Pacific Rim?

You can't even tell me what the "more deserving animation" is.

 

Wreck It Ralf was getting tons of cheering and was considered a rightful winner by critics and fans who follow Oscars alike. Brave`s winning streak was considered a really bad upset.

[Spidey Freak]

I've never seen any of the F&F films, but I'm definitely seeing Fast 6.

 

Try to catch Fast Five. Pure, unpretentious fun.

[dashrendar44]

DMC was trash.

Define trashy.

I'd say what the film actually aims to be. Something like F&F knows what it is, and the movies deliver the ott action, and everyone loves it. Therefore, something like that can not be deemed trash.

Dislikes and likes.

Oh yes, the addition of a "rugged manly man" is exactly what I look for in a sequel.

Cumberflop locked, sealed and delivered.  of course, let the "but this will increase to 40M on Saturday due to amazing WOM and A CS" spin begin.

[Noctis]

Pretty terrible for ST2, and fantastic for IM3. It's just locked $400m for good.

[baumer]

22 MILL for ST:
