Does Need For Speed Stand a Chance?

               If you didn’t already know, I’m a big Breaking Bad fan. This March, Aaron Paul aka Jesse Pinkman is going to star in the film adaption of Need for Speed. I love Aaron Paul, and I think it’s great that he isn’t taking too much time to move on, but I’m worried that NFS is going to be a flop.   

                The Fast and Furious franchise dominates the street racing movie genre. Since 2001, no movie of the same nature has been able to come close to success. The only exceptions are maybe Cars and Talladega Nights. I don’t think NFS stands a chance in the box office even though it comes out a month before its rival.  Nobody wants a lesser version of the better product. The same way that nobody buys NBA Live before getting 2K, not too many moviegoers are going to take a chance on NFS when they can wait a month to see Fast and Furious 7.

                NFS doesn’t have enough star power and hype to win big. Jesse Pinkman and Kid Cudi won’t be enough to save this movie. But what do you think? Are you excited for NFS? Do you think it’s going to fare well or do you think it’s going to flop? Look at the trailer and tell me what you think.
