OTHER SIDE
Fast & Furious 6 was generally
considered to effectively mix absurd
action scenes and outrageous stunts
with a predictable but enjoyable
plot and character dialog IGN's Jim
Vejvoda said that the film is a crowd
pleaser
whose
fun
moments
outweighed failed attempts at
humor and unintentionally comical
dialog.
Other reviewers
highlighted the likable
cast ludicrous action,
playful approach to the
plot and ability to immerse the audience in
the high speed chases
and conflict between the
two opposing gangs.
Digital Spy's Ben RawsonJones said the tone successfully mixed selfconscious spectacle
with the central characters' teamwork,
bonding and familial spirit. Conversely, Slant Magazine's
Chris Cabin said
the film was smug,
cynical and insubstantial that delivered overly sentimental
drama and forced comedy that seemed unaware "of how dumb the
material is".
The Daily Telegraph's Tim
Robey labeled the film as slowwitted with a random and
generic plot, and Time Out
London's Derek Adams said the
film featured puerile dialog,
daft performances and flat
comic repartee Indie Wire said
that the film forsakes realistic
set-pieces (comparing it to the
2012
superhero
film
The
Avengers), which undermined any attempts at creating tension
