More than just a clever title: but not much more.
It's clear why people dislike this sequel, all the beloved characters are gone and the cars look ridiculous. But it's not without its charm. Same formula applies; cool cars, beautiful people, great action, vroom-vroom.
This movie's new beautiful people are played by Tyrese Gibson and Eva Mendes.
VD lovers (Vin Diesel) often feel Tyrese is a poor substitute. But he's actually a lot more fun. His character Roman, or Roam (which is a sweet nickname) is unpredictable, tough, and surprisingly funny and definitely brings more humour to the future instalments of the franchise.
As for the rest of the movie, Eva is gorgeous but kind of boring, Ludacris is fun and Cole Hauser does a decent job as the villain, aside from pretending he's brunette.
Fun car chases, couple clever con jobs and of course the dreamy eyes of Paul Walker seem to pop so much more in Miami. It's much more a buddy movie than a cat-and-mouse dynamic...it's slightly less dramatic than the original, but better than Tokyo Drift.
