Asphalt Burning (2020) User Reviews

Has its moments but overall its hard work

[spilner-62704 · 5/10 · 2 January 2021]

Lacking plot, story and decent dialog as well as the bad CGI at certain times like the cars jumping off the boat to defy physics (whilst acceptable at others) its just so difficult to like it.

The driving/racing bits are not too bad other than the race at the end that starts sunny, rest of race is in heavy rain only to end up on a sunny finish line.

Maybe the dubbing gets in the way and some 'jokes' or lines get lost in the translation.

If you like car films and have time to kill then go for it otherwise avoid.

It was good, but....

[djgabizz13 · 5/10 · 30 October 2020]

It was a decent movie. Great humor, decent storyline and for most gearheads it has some pretty good car scenes that actually makes sense. But, there were many scenes that seemed like they had ran out of money and made it worse. Also the CGI was awful, just awful. For a movie released in 1990, it would be good, but for a 2020 movie... No, just no. All in all, it's a great movie to watch with some friends and have some fun, but not a movie I would choose to watch over and over.

Ok

[janandreassen · 4/10 · 13 October 2020]

The movie was okei, but the CGI was Awful, sorry bad english.... the movie had to much in a rush getting to the finnish line, good comedy, okei action, but it was like the director/writer was lost of ideas.... if you have seen the other to, you will go from the movie thinking... naaahhh this was not good enough. some nice driving, but no... not gonna see this again

Fire the directir and the CGI creator.

[franksrensen · 1/10 · 26 December 2020]

I am embarrased to be Norwegian when watching this. Who in earth would accept this CGI in a film serie, that could be fun and with some good driving scenes? I am out of words!

it's a bizzare ...stupid yet still very watchable 1.

[ssr2000 · 7/10 · 6 January 2021]

The movie is everything a movie should not be yet it works how somehow.the twists and coincidences come non stop.and the ridge scene was beyond stupid but somehow the movie works as for it is meant to be watched for some fun.

Awful

[sigfusur · 2/10 · 30 December 2020]

I watched this movie because I've seen the previous ones. But these just keep get worse.

The script was awful, the acting was semi awful, but the cgi was the worst I've seen since the 90's.

Truly hope this is the last one in the series.

Fast and Finish third

[kosmasp · 7/10 · 3 April 2021]

Let me be clear, even though I reckon some will already voted "not helpful": I like to do wordplays and since this might feel similar to at least how Fast and Furious began .... although to be fair there is a stunt/CGI scene that is as ridiculous as anything in the later installments of the series ... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

To be honest, I think saying this is a movie about racing should be enough to tell you or give you an indication if this is even something you want to watch. I have not seen the 2 previous movies, but the movie and the makers made sure that even if you haven't you can enjoy the movie right here for what it is.

Characters are thin yet more than enjoyable. Of course if you know previous movies you are probably aware of relationships and rivalries - but again, even if not, you can piece it together ... like piecing together a race car, that might work in the end ... I would say that the movie is quite predictable and should not give you too many riddles as to where it is going. A fine note for German viewers: this scandinavian production goes through Germany and some familiar faces here ... Cliches and everything included.

Awful

[matsanonsen · 1/10 · 27 December 2020]

Lacking plot, awful script, horrible CGI, I mean they could not have done a worse job with the assets available. If another movie in this series drop then I, as a Norwegian, will be embarrassed and disapoointed, because they can't keep making these only for the money.

Horribly Entertaining

[roger-99-171599 · 7/10 · 3 January 2021]

I had fun watching this because I didn't expect much of it. The plot is wacky but it delivered good car chases, cynically funny humor and wonderful landscapes. It's an eccentric road movie, with B- qualities including a horrible CGI sequence (but forgivable) and would fit for a fun night with friends.

Very disappointing

[theawsomeguy · 3/10 · 2 January 2021]

The movie was very disappointing. The story didn't have a plot. To sum up the plot in one sentence "Roy, if you drive your car faster than my ex i will marry you"

Otto Jespersen was the highlights of Børning 1&2, but in this movie he had a "brain damage" and his usual humor wasn't present. A couple of funny scenes here and there but overall it wasnt a good movie

Brilliant

[ergins · 9/10 · 9 January 2021]

Did not expect much from this but it a great bad movie. The plot is silly, acting sub par, cgi is ok but nothing to write home about. But it is charming and laugh out loud funny in places where it shouldn't be.

I have given this a 9/10 because everyone in the film takes everything so seriously and the production team looked like they wanted to make a Norwegian Fast and Furious movie with passion. Those are the best bad movies because they are made with conviction.

I laughed more at this movie than some so called comedies out of Hollywood and it was probably a fraction of the cost.

Take this movie for a spin if you get the chance, you won't regret it.

An enjoyable ending to a creative series

[vtdone · 6/10 · 19 April 2022]

Lovable connected camaraderie characters. Spectacular scenery! Noisily fast historically recognisable cars in a great road trip to a bucket-list destination. Laughable moments that remind me of Police Academy series. What more could a car enthusiast want for a fast cars movie?

There are some unbelievable set-pieces not unlike the FF franchise. If you expect lots of wrecks you will be disappointed. The writer has a done a good job in staying true to the Norwegian spirit and not copycatting Hollywood blockbuster crash'n burn styles.

Ideal to kill time or fall asleep.

[faer_kr · 2/10 · 2 January 2021]

A combination of drama and Norwegian adventure. Although it is called action it does not have. It is about a car racer who gets carried away in a drunkenness and the girl shows up to break into her wedding by stealing the bride, to get her back she has to face a car race. Quality. LGBTQ moments Most of the effects are well done, two or three moments too computerized and fall into the absurd, even crazy. It starts well but declines with situations that have no meaning and do not add anything to the story, going through plug me the machine and becoming a copy of Fast and Furious at times, it has only three racing moments, the rest is totally parsimonious, not even it hooks you on the characters, it doesn't develop them. You try the sitcom and it doesn't succeed, just two or three moments. Spoken in Norwegian, German and English. Ideal to kill time or fall asleep.

Don't.

[marruciic · 1/10 · 7 January 2021]

Don't. Cars drive slow, CGI is extremely low budget (chase scene in the barge - lowest point of it) and cast is just bored and without any energy. Just don't spend Your life on this crap.

Don't mind the negative reviews

[therealjaysmoke · 6/10 · 21 January 2021]

I don't know what these negative reviews are about? The only thing negative about this is the crappy cgi used near the very end! And that lasted for only 2min! How do you conclude on a whole movie because of that, I am dumbfounded. The movie was funny, the cars amazing, the acting on point, the plot could have been better but if you can ignore it and focus on what's going on on your screen, you will enjoy yourself.

I know it is comedy but....

[galikboris · 1/10 · 7 January 2021]

Special effects was awful 😢 and fact to try compere 911 (fastest production car on the ring) vs can of trash, wasn't even funny.... story by itself is for age-group between 10-15yo. For me it seems like wasting time.

Worth watching =p

[aka-dre78 · 7/10 · 6 January 2021]

I didn't know this was foreign movie at 1st so I kept trying to adjust the audio speed........sigh~~then I came to realize this movie's audio was dubbed....😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 Anyways, I love foreign movies because it makes me pay more AT&Tention!

Dubbing way off, poor cgi,

[stephengoddard-28453 · 1/10 · 15 January 2021]

Well in a world as messed up as 2020 we have video first then the sound the only one to match the mouth movement with sound is "Robyn" , then the scene on the river was obviously computer generated by pc from 1991 brought out of storage, nice cars just turn the video off and make it an audio book.

Loved it, more potential

[ssstbob · 7/10 · 9 January 2021]

Loved it but it had so much more potential. At the end of the film, there is not enough closure, still a few loose ends/missed opportunities here and there. We need more Norwegian series & films! I love it when they talk funny 😂

A bit hokey

[Calicodreamin · 4/10 · 9 January 2021]

Some fun things going on in this movie, the main storyline was interesting, and the real car scenes were cool. However, the 'action' shots were too hokey and there were a few weird subplots. Acting was okay. Good cinematography.

More fun than Cannonball Run

[ohroonoko · 8/10 · 5 July 2021]

If you enjoy racing/themed movies at all, this one is a must-see. This was the funniest street racing film since Cannonball Run, without the the gimmick of an all-star cameo ensemble cast. The racing scenes are beautifully shot, featuring the best collection of American muscle cars in any race-themed film I've ever seen. The Rhine River sequence almost sinks the credibility of the entire film and story; it was horribly misplaced here and unforgivable. Shame on the writers and director for including it. It was like something out of The Blues Brothers. So I will dock 1 star for that.

Weaker than before, but still entertaining!

[tuomas_86 · 6/10 · 1 February 2021]

Again, drifting in a slightly different way.

Interesting moments, but clearly less remembering the previous ones, or at least in a different way. The premise is still to drive hard. This way, you get more side people and the official drift actually takes place just outside the road.

Clearly a weaker part than the previous one, but entertaining nonetheless.

Totally Unrealistic

[jgmartinez-77846 · 1/10 · 11 January 2021]

I had hopes for this movie I enjoy watching international movies even when the dubbing and captions don't match. Nonetheless, the CGI was really low quality and the plot was unrealistic.

First: The ex kissed the bridegroom.

Second: The bride does worst but not only kidding the ex but leaving across countries with said ex and the child of the bridegroom.

Third: Who the heel leaves the toddler in the car ALONE asleep while they go into the gas station.

Fourth: The whole bus routine could have been left out.

Fifth: The bride from beginning to end jumps to conclusion. SHE didn't deserve the second chance.

So much potential but total let down.

i'm not familiar...

[ops-52535 · 5/10 · 4 January 2021]

With the '' børning'' franchise, having just seen bits and pieces of nr 2, and i must say this was disappointlingly worse, if not to say terrible on story and plot, acting are just on the limit, and the driving aint sensational, in addition to that comes some loudicrously made cgi specialeffects that belongs in the animated world. movies like this one is made for the roadhogs doing the streif, high on wunderbaum and blasted braindead on NO3 and other influxes, because this film is just what it is and its that

i ask myself what they could have done on a larger budget. considering the shoots made at neuburgring racerbahn, where the race that lasts for 5 minutes do have almost every kind of meteorological phenomenon that exists, sun rainfog drizzle, soaking wet road to heatflimmering dry asphalt and dusk and dawn piled after eachother, these elements makes it obvious that the planning of the project have been less than good, and the weather issues / miss'es do repeat itself in many sequences in the film.

so was this a film that the grumpy old man can recommend ? no not even with a patriotic norwegian heart, no...its more or less a good bye to further børnings, they are out of ideas, so save time and money and let it be

Cars are nice...pity about the rest!

[redforlife-71347 · 1/10 · 16 January 2021]

Cars are nice and that's about it. The rest, including actors, acting and script is pure Jedi Knight! Awful at best
