I saw it on Saturday. It was ok but I felt that they rushed it a bit. Stages 1-3 are crammed into one movie with a lot left out (like Keisuke, Mako & Sato, Shingo etc...)
The driving was good, however they had the GT-R drifting instead of grip driving like in the series. Several things I'll say they absolutely butchered:
- Bunta is a moron, in the series everyone wants to be like him; he's so laid back and cool, in the movie he's a moron.
- Emperor's look like clowns, I just couldn't take them seriously enough.
- Ryosuke's character isn't developed at all so you need the background knowledge of the series to know that he's the undefeated White Comet of Akagi.
Jay Chow can't act, he's only got one facial expression I give it 6/10.
