I really enjoyed the last two movies and for a franchise that is further down the line than anything else movie wise, I think they have done well so far in keeping it fresh and alive. This is sacred ground to some Mr Lin not just an action fest that people forget about 5 minutes after watching it, its part of a legacy. HANDLE WITH CARE!

The thing about Justin Lin is, he's quite talented. Films like Better Luck Tomorrow and Finishing the Game prove that he can direct actors and tell a story competently. It's a shame that he got stuck doing those god-awful Fast & Furious films as they have kept from doing other projects. In fact, it's a shame everybody got stuck doing those films as everybody involved has shown in other films that they can be good.
