Especially with characters that you can connect with and see women be portrayed as more than just sex objects where even the guys get a chance to be a bit sexy as it's for the ladies to watch. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-18372431760947582622016-02-23T08:31:18.970-08:002016-02-23T08:31:18.970-08:00I had a lot of fun with it but oddly I don't r...I had a lot of fun with it but oddly I don't remember much about it since seeing it in the theater. I'm really anxious to see it again. I've liked where the franchise has been going these last several installments.keith71_98https://www.blogger.com/profile/07815219499754051198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-67544609730404636102016-02-22T21:05:19.788-08:002016-02-22T21:05:19.788-08:00@ruth-James Wan directed this one.

I quite enjoyed this one, but now I can't remember much of it except for some of the craziest action sequences. I suppose that's what these movies are all about, who cares about the plot, ahah. I think Justin Lin's direction worked really well.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-21474866824781410512016-02-22T14:10:30.279-08:002016-02-22T14:10:30.279-08:00@Wendell-Exactly.

They're consistent, not too salty, and actually give you your monies worth for the food you pay. Bay & McG are like the overly-expensive food you go to at trendy restaurants where you pay so much for little food that is undercooked and gives you the shits in the worst way or food-poisoning at its worst.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-4786074190749877982016-02-22T03:41:06.113-08:002016-02-22T03:41:06.113-08:00There is a very big difference between this and th...There is a very big difference between this and the tedious dreck put out by those two numb-skulls.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-92190926608350484892016-02-21T22:06:22.371-08:002016-02-21T22:06:22.371-08:00As dumb as the film is, it's never boring.

It took me awhile to understand the franchise as I'm just glad they're sticking to what works while also offer something more to the people. There's a major difference between the kind of films like this which are high-octane entertainment that is escapist but with some brains as opposed to the bullshit films of Michael Bay and McG.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-62911410487743000532016-02-21T18:58:26.240-08:002016-02-21T18:58:26.240-08:00This movie is completely insane.
