Movies to see this summer: April 29th, 'Fast Five'

What it’s about:
Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker), Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and friends come together to pull off a kick-ass heist in Rio de Janeiro.

Why you might not be excited about it:
It’s the fifth movie in a divisive franchise. Everyone loved the first one, but from then on, viewers have never gotten that same feeling from the second, third and fourth movies. The series has been a bit jumpy with its characters. Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, and Michele Rodriguez were absent for the second and third installments. Paul Walker himself wasn’t in Tokyo Drift, nor were Tyrese or Ludacris, who had been brought in for 2 Fast 2 Furious, who also were not in Fast and Furious (the 4th movie, if you’re already confused. It’s understandable). It felt like the studio panicked and brought the original cast back for the fourth movie as a last resort, and perhaps it worked. It made for an enjoyable movie. However, some may still be apprehensive about this next installment.
 
Why you should be excited:
The bottom line is, these movies are made to showcase insane stunts, largely involving cars. That’s the whole reason people go to see them. From the looks of the trailer, Fast Fivewill deliver exactly that. And, I want to see Vin Diesel fight The Rock.
