Fast 5 - and the problem with squeals
Last week I attended the midnight showing of Fast 5 starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The movie is the 5th of the Fast and Furious series, and although the series is not meant to be a continuing series the franchise uses a pool of actors and actresses. I am a die hard Fast and Furious fan, despite the inconsistencies throughout the franchise, Fast 5 did not disappoint. I was entertained throughout the entire film and think this film is the most perfected out of all 5. However even though this film was the most fun to watch, Im starting to have a problem with squeals now. Film franchises are poping up like no other and nearly half the films that come out are squeals or prequels. Often these films attempted to take just the good themes from the original and expand on them in a way that causes to focus on the main point of the movie. In the new Fast 5 there was a big focus on the dialogue and relationships between the characters. The franchise first created off of cars and racing and over time with the addition of more and more squeals the franchise has lost its foundation.
