Need for Speed

[Harry]

Just got back with the two young boys from seeing this.

If you see it you must watch in 3D and in D-Box seats. It's like a 2 hr theme park ride.

Ignore the script, the car scenes are excellent

9/10!

Might be going to see it today, girls are of to dance competition and I'm going to that!

I personally hate 3D on films, after about 10 minutes you don't notice it's 3D anymore, but you do notice the stupid glasses you're still wearing.

When I first saw the trailer for NFS I thought it looked rubbish and thought it'll all be CGI, but then I heard/read that the Director insisted that all the car stunts were real and that no CGI was used and sudddenly it sounded better.

Product Placement and Infantilism.

Product:- Mustang.

Placement:- Everywhere.

Actors and acting:- Pygmy-like on both counts.

Car crashes:- Remember when you were a child and you played 'car crashes' with your toys? The Director and writers didn't do it enough, so they subject their audience to a child's game writ large.

Mycroft Movie Rating: Celluloid excrement.

Edited and reason:- Public facing page and being nice is apparently important to some poor sensitive souls.

Car crashes and child's game. Yes, you get this movie too!

Which is ok when thats what you expect. I just watched it, as suggested not going to be Oscar nomination time, but there were loud fast cars doing proper drifting and loads of completely pointless and un-necessary handbrake turns into every corner. I admire that they did it all for real, but they ruined it entirely when they suggested that their 900hp Mustang went 234mph on a race circuit.

Saw them talking about this on Top Gear, apparently the stunts are real. Cars are models though.

They probably meant KPH not MPH, seems more likely.

I think it was doing top speed in the corners as well. LOL

Was definitely mph

This sounds like a film I must take my 9yr old to see.
