4/10
"It makes you wonder if this trip was really necessary."  Lybarger Links  Dan Lybarger

2/5
"Never title a movie the same way a junior high girl signs her yearbook."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

2/4
"...ultimately doesn't fare as well as its mediocre predecessor..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"Director John Singleton puts all his energy into presenting exciting, white-knuckle driving scenes while never taking the silly "Miami Vice"-like plot too seriously."  Portland Tribune  Dawn Taylor

2/4
"A summer movie that offers sporadic thrills and spills with nothing but dead air surrounding them."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C+
"A disappointing step downward ... betraying what simple vision the original film had."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1/4
"When you long for the fantasy of what Hal Needham could have brought to the material, you get the picture."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

C
"What Paul Walker needed was a stunt double. To stand in for him the entire movie."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"Still, 2F2F‘s rambunctious road rage schtick is one hot-rod high-wire act that is in need of some serious dramatic alignment. This is one plucky yet pointless speed demon dud that’s definitely 2 B 4-gotten."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

C-
"'2 Fast' '2 Furious' = "4 Pity's Sake, Spare Us No. 3,' Isn't much beyond the level of a repeat episode of 'Fastlane.'"  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

.5/4
"A contender for the worst movie of 2003."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2/5
"Cars-and-consumerism action flick has John Singleton behind the wheel but no Diesel in the tank, making for a lackluster blockbuster sequel."  Netflix  James Rocchi

7/10
"It's about as lightweight as a cars-and-crime action movie should be."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

1/5
"2 Fast 2 Furious takes it for granted that the audience is comprised of morons. And maybe we are—all those bad video games have gone to our head"  ToxicUniverse.com  Jeremiah Kipp

3/10
"2 Much, 2 Loud, 2 Dumb"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"The cars are a rockin' and even the friggin' movie screen felt like it was shaking as the cars flew by."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

2.5/4
"A fun enough ambiguously gay carsploitation flick even though it’s instantly forgettable."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

B
"Singleton's "Baby Boy" discovery, Tyrese, steps on the gas and leaves former star Diesel in the dust."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2/5
"2 shallow 4 words."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2.5/4
"Not a good movie or a consistently solid action flick, but it is a big step up. I guess that's not much of a compliment considering what it is an improvement over, but take it for what it's worth."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"Very, very cool and very, very dumb."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"When the ride looks and feels as smooth as this, it's practically irrelevant to complain about any lack of so-called substance."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3.5/5
"When the ride looks and feels as smooth as this, it's practically irrelevant to complain about any lack of so-called substance."  Film Threat  Michael Dequina

2.5
"Worth seeing only if you've seen all the better movies now in release."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

D
"Many too many close-ups of feet slamming down on pedals, hands shifting gears, and eyes narrowing meaningfully in the rear-view mirror. I am the one who is furious at having to sit through this dumb movie."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

"This unabashedly meaningless affair wholeheartedly subscribes to the more-is-better recipe for cinematic second installments."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"Em vez de + Velozes + Furiosos, este longa deveria se chamar Turbinas & Silicones 2."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

C+
"2 Fast 2 Furious not 2 bad"  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B
"["2 Fast 2 Furious"] has an energy of its own that allows it to stand on its own two feet. Or, is that “on its own four tires”?"  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

1/5
"As I sat and had the rampant awfulness of 2 Fast 2 Furious wash over me, I could actually FEEL the contempt and indifference of the filmmakers. 2 Awful 4 Words."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

2/5
"I’d have gone with 2 Loud 2 Obnoxious, or 2 Ridiculous 2 Unnecessary."  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

0/4
"An example of what can happen when the lowest common denominator meets a director in sulky decline."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
