Saw the movie last night. I knew not to look for plot, acting or anything arty, just spectacular action. I was not disappointed. The story races along very quickly, packed to the rafters with cliches and spectacular CGI bike stunts. I've read a number of reviews criticising the movie, claiming it has no plot, cardboard characters and blurry bullshit stunts. So? This movie doesn't pretend to be anything else. Its just a switch-the-brain-off romp that doesn't take itself seriously. It takes the piss out of itself and and other movies like Fast and the Furious. Some criticism comes from bikers, complaining the characters and stunts are unrealistic. Whats realistic? Do you want to see a 90 minute doco of me on the Fizzer? No we're not all violent drugdealers, we don't do 200kph on the top of trains, and no, biker chicks are not all gunslinging models who do karate, but they are fun to watch.
