(1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 13% Rotten Page   1   D "Having lived through many a Minnesota winter, call me unimpressed to see a bunch of toy cars swerving wildly around city streets."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf C+ "Padded with relatively unknown actors, "Tokyo Drift" is more of an actors' showcase than fully fleshed-out movie."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Even amid the formulaic romancing of boys and girls and above all, cars, the movie takes up the concept of "drift" as metaphor, ideology, and aesthetic."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B "The plot is basically scrap metal; but for those who appreciate high-paced motor stunts, this heart-pounder lives up to its name."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 1.5/4 "A juvenile jerk-off session of battling machismos."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D+ "Much of the film is harmlessly generic, but in its last half-hour it plumbs new depths of dumbness that markedly lower its overall score."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/5 "It’s a weak sequel, to a weak series."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. 1.5 "Another vapid actioner involving smoking wheels and women...Tokyo Drift doesn’t burn its rubber very convincingly."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "Though the movie is the most formulaic sort of testosterone-driven junk, it's served up expertly by director Justin Lin and his associates."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "Aside from trying my patience, the film offered one important lesson: never again attend a movie with the words 'fast' and 'furious' both in the title."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 5/10 "Lin had the opportunity to create a vision of [Tokyo] that feels updated, hip, and relevant. He may have only half-succeeded here. "   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 5/10 "Unlike its two previous incarnations though, this one doesn’t necessarily have to be seen on the big screen, as its story is lacking quite some, and its stars, second-rate."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2.5/4.0 "A nod to the old "new kid in town" formula film... it's better than you might expect."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 1.5/4 "To call the film noisy and brainless isn't even a criticism -- it's unadulterated auto-porn, as shallow and shiny as it wants to be."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C "The third time around for The Fast and the Furious finds the franchise spinning its tires."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "Black... makes the formerly fast and furious Paul Walker look like Kenneth Branagh..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "A meathead movie with no subtext at all."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "Brief snippets of eye-candy aside, this flick's as dumb as a box of rocks and twice as pointless."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg C "... the high-octane mix of high speed, slick style and gear-head stupidity is the same in the third installment of the street-racing cinema brand name."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 1/4 "it's craptacular"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "The problem with contemporary Hollywood isn't that so many of the movies it's churning out are based on formula; it's that so many directors take perfectly good formulas and wreck them with bad filmmaking."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3/10 "Slick, shiny and adrenaline-propelled, it's a junker. Avoid this noisy, shallow pit stop."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 13% Rotten Page   1
