Hmm sunday evenings are best for me cause the wife is out working Smile

I finished the movie yesterday btw
[spoiler:e87566a64a]
I must say that the movie positively surprised me. Sure compared to the manga and anime it leaves alot to desire but I didn't expect other wise from a movie that tried to cram a detailed story into less then 2 hours of viewing pleasure.
Non the less, I found the movie fairly entertaining. The drift scenes looked pretty good and there was some nice action in there. OK cars that crashed seemed to stay in one piece and guardrails were made out of paper but still Smile

Itsuki really sucks, they have combined him with Iketani and turned him into a complete asshole.
My wife nicely commented that Takumi talked shit cantonese (actor is originally Taiwanees I believe) and that he couldn't act (well the guys a singer, and indeed he can't act Smile

).
At first I hated the Bunta character but he actually turned out to be very funny and I liked that his role got more depth then in the anime, you really see Bunta teaching Takumi and get to know alot more about his motivations.
Having a race with 3 cars in the end really didn't make that much sence to me, the evo crashing due to oncoming traffic really didn't add much to the story aswell other then underlining the guy was an asshole. I liked the other races though..
The story also skips alot of stuff, I think someone who hasn't seen the anime would be lost watching the movie because it just doesn't tell you enough about what is going on.
In the end, I think they would have done better to just put stage 1 in a single movie because the movie really was stage 1 with elements of stage 2 and 3 put in but it didn't make the movie much nicer...
