Of course, I'm not expecting any of these movies to win academy awards, but I shouldn't cringe watching their acting for a good portion of the film. Their chemistry is undeniable, but their acting? Yeah, it's not exactly Oscar caliber. Paul Walker is back as Brian O'Conner, the now former cop turned undercover agent, but instead of Dominic Toretto he's joined by Roman Pearce, played by Tyrese Gibson. The film attempts to do both of those, but fails miserably. 2 Fast 2 Furious is in large part just a complete rehash of the first film, but without the fun action and fun cheesy lines.
I'm as big of a fan of the Fast & Furious as anybody, but there's no question the low point of the series is the 2nd and 3rd film.
