Just saw Need for Speed tonight. I have to say it was pretty darn good. Would love to have or even just drive any of the cars in that movie. It was hard to behave myself on the way home afterward, but I managed to keep myself in check.

I'm hoping there will be more of these movies. Maybe they'll use some Camaros? If you appreciate amazing cars, regardless of make/model, you should see this movie.

definitely a big ad campaign for ford.

I will watch this movie, because it has cars in it... but this is the first time I have heard anything good about it. I have low standards, so I'm sure I will love it too.

I saw it Thursday night. It wasn't bad, the cars and driving scenes were very well done. Supposedly there's minimal use of CGI in the whole movie.

The plot was predictable though. And a few things were utterly laughable.

Oh and I agree, it was difficult to behave on the roads after seeing it.

Already got my tickets for Saturday night. It's has cars in it and I like Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad so I was in regardless of the reviews.

Ive never really cared for how movies reviewed. They said Gone in 60 Seconds sucked, its one of my favorite movies. Ill definitely see it!

It has to be wayyyyyyyyy better than the trailer. Other than the cars, and they all look CGI, there wasn't much that seemed appealing. Trust the judgment of those that have seen it though.

However, I am suspect of a bunch of cars guys going to a movie with a lot hot cars in it also reviewing it

FitterMike · 03-15-2014, 09:24 AM

I saw it last night actually really liked it. Had lots if elements of the game in it. Story line was predictable but in all honesty you don't go to a movie like that for award winning story lines.

Silverlsinva · 03-15-2014, 01:15 PM

Love how people say things are CGI when in interviews Aaron paul has said many times there is no CGI in the movie it is all real I just wonder if it is true.

crysalis_01 · 03-15-2014, 05:51 PM

yeah, on Top Gear he made mention that all the cars that were destroyed were kit cars. While still pricy the cost was no where near the actual cars' cost.

Rdunn · 03-15-2014, 06:04 PM

All the cool cars couldn't even keep me thru the whole movie. I walked out. It was bad

*Camaro_Corvette* · 03-15-2014, 06:08 PM

I'm sure I'll like it.

Silverlsinva · 03-15-2014, 07:00 PM

You I never understood walking out of a movie unless I was getting a refund for some reason I could never walk out of a movie I paid for. what does it hurt to watch the rest of it and just say well it sucked. The only movie I saw that was bad enough for me to even think of walking out of was alexander the great with colin Farrell.

Aequitas & Veritas · 03-15-2014, 07:14 PM

I loved it. I didn't have high hopes for it since it was based off a video game but it was really well done!

Rates in my top few car movies. Also loved the Bullet tid bit in the beginning!
