I disagree. It's not a stand-alone movie. You really need to see the two F&F movies to understand this one. Also, it's not as much about the cars as the others were. They tried to make a car movie into a soap-ish drama. I was fairly unimpressed. It's probably because I recently watched a lot of good car movies like Vanishing Point, the original Gone in Sixty Seconds, and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. Fast and Furious has too many fast cuts, CGI, and the chase scenes are so brief that you can't really see how amazing the cars are that they're driving.
I'd give it a C-
Uh... I guess you missed the first sentence of my post. Or maybe I should have been more clear about tribute movie. It was all about the first movie, just a plot set up to bring all the characters together. I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie for what it was, and considering this one made no bones about it's purpose (Hell look at the name plus subtitle, New Model, Same Parts) I thought it did a good job. Thus the rating.
