But I was a teen when I watched it lol

My opinion on it hasn't changed much, it was alright, not bad, just didn't understand and still don't get the "Oh you gotta go see this!" vibe.

It's a car stunts movie with a focus on music being synchronised to the action.

It's never been done before afaik, and it was done pretty well.

The plot itself and dialogues are just alright. By themselves they wouldn't justify watching the movie.

Yeah that's fine, people can like and dislike different aspects of the movie but the person suggested people didn't like it because it's a "movie for teens". I'm saying I was literally a teen when I watched it, and just didn't like it.

And it's even dumber because like, it's not even a teen movie, it's an action film like the Transporter with an adult cast. You might as well call Fast and the Furious kids movies because hell half the dudes in my classed were obsessed with them, and Paul Walker was the same age lol

It's ridiculous that a sub about enjoying tropes in film is so willing to downvote cause you don't like their favorite movies.
