see this isn't true. while some of the movies are shit (transformers 2, pearl harbor), others are great (bad boys 1, the island) with proper tension and pacing that allows for great action sequences.

no. Fast and the Furious proves that people don't understand what makes a good action movie. the last flick was completely useless because none of the sequences made any sense at all. you could compare it to bad boys 2 and everything that happened in cuba, but the stuff that happened before that was actually plot-supported.
