Tokyo Drift is probably the only sequel that catches the spirit of the original.
First of all it's all races and girls and features an exotic location.
But it's also a humble and genuine entertaining installment.
No big plots like in a James Bond adventure, but a light and solid story with convincing characters.
I rate it ***/*****
You know what, that is quite true. TD may not be anywhere near as memorable and solid as the original, but it is a very grounded (for what it is) and straightforward movie compared to everything that followed. And while it might’ve felt like a completely different movie to some, looking back this third movie unarguably has so much in common with the movie that started it all — moreso than any other sequel. I’ve always liked it.
shareIt's my second favorite in the franchise and also probably the only other F&F film I would actually buy on Blu-Ray.
1 & 3 are both great.
2 I disliked for a long time but now have some nostalgia-based love for. 5 is pretty good and definitely the best of the "modern" F&F films.
The rest I could do without.
I'm currently watching a F&F marathon and am 👀 this one right now after #1. I'm going to watch 4,6,7,8 after this is over👍
shareIt also highlights a specific style of racing.
