Fast & Furious 7

❤️

Great.

I think that this is one of the best in the Fast & Furious franchise. The movie is packed with alot of great action and great stunts, it has humor, mainly done by Tyrease Gibson and the acting is great as well. Now of course it is known that Paul Walker died while filming this movie, so they had to do some CGI work, with his brothers face whenever he came on screen to finish off the scenes that Paul Walker never got to, but I think that they did a great job with it and there is only a few scenes where he needed to come in anyway. So all in all I think that this is a great edition to the franchise and I can't wait to see what they do in the next movie and also for anyone who has not seen this movie and is worried about how they are going to do a next one without Paul Walker, don't be because I think the way they ended this movie, exits Paul Walkers character in a respectable way and leaves room for more movies in the future without his character.

Since the franchise was pseudo-rebooted back in 2009, the makers of the films have just gone for broke with each instalment, so each one just gets that little more bonkers than its predecessor. And here it's no different, and with the inclusion of Statham, and Russell at his most smug, the silliness never stops. With Statham as the antagonist, the film feels a little more urgent, and to say that Shaw is the most over the top character in the whole franchise is an understatement. He's like The Terminator, turns up everywhere out of the blue all guns blazing, but when the crew find him, he's usually just sitting there calmly, in the dark, almost as he's psyching himself up for the next major set piece, because it seems as if the film uses his character as a cue for an action sequence. And it's business as usual for the rest of the crew, Johnson's hardly in it, as he was too busy with earthquakes, and the rest of the characters haven't changed, because they don't need to. Walkers untimely death is handled with the utmost respect, and I defy anyone not to shed a tear during the final minutes of the film. It's feels as if it's the actors themselves talking about their friend, rather than the characters, and it's a perfect ending to his career. Some of the effects though for Walker are very noticeable, and there were times when I couldn't help but think of the Burly Brawl from The Matrix Reloaded when the same CGI was used for Weaving. And there is a scene where the gang are standing in a line and the camera is angler so we never see Brians face, and he is filmed from the back saying something. That really took me out of the movie for a few seconds. But all in all, it's a solid movie, totally stupid, over the top, and never once in the real world, but that's why this franchise is so big, it takes you away from the real world, and entertains.

I’ve watched the entire series these holidays with my husband and this one was by far the best! The car chases and all of the actions scenes were over the top but in a brilliant way. And the comedy was judged perfectly! We’ve found these films a really easy watch (just what we need after full days with the kids) but they’ve been ones we’ve not ended up looking at our phones at random intervals so they’ve obviously gripped us too. I think the ending was particularly heartfelt and had me wiping my eyes. We’ve since seen the next one in the series but 7 was by far the best in both of our opinions.

Well now they are back and the cars are rolling out again after a prototype tracking device to secure it. The baddies are at it again you think they will learn wouldn't you, Okay back to the movie ideas which are fabulous acting better I rated this an A grade plus that have you glued to the seat taking us all on a suspenseful adventure they are coming to. Targeted by a cold blooded killer black-ops assassin with a score to settle. To the east and to the west that they call home this will be riveting fast pace action that we are use to from this group, So try to relax with this no 7 movie of the fast and the furious series that sounds like dynamite and is. Love the closure for Paul. Enjoy!

If you didn't see this at the cinema then you missed out. I have watched all of the films either at the cinema or on DvD over the years and I have never seen a film that was properly tributed to someone until seeing this. As you may or may not know, sadly Paul Walker (aka Brian O'Connor) died tragically in the middle of making of this film. But thanks to fan support and the family of the Fast Films, they continued to make the film and adapted the end to create an incredible tribute which was very emotional to say good bye to a dear friend. The Story itself leads to new heights as it finally ties in the third film of "Tokyo Drift" into the storyline and introduces Jason Statham as quite the bad guy (though not really bad). The list of stars continues to grow and yet still works together to bring an action packed storyline that not only makes sense but keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

I know I risk getting a verbal beating here but.... I didn't catch Fast7 at the flix, mostly due to laziness, and my penchant for shying away from super hyped movies. So I thought I'd at least give it 'shelf space' once the DVD came out. Well it's out today, Amazon delivered it, and I've just finished watching it. Okay it's not too far removed from 6, in its action (and unbelievable stunts), but it's so so far removed from the original idea now, I can't actually say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, of course, it's a fitting goodbye to Paul Walker, and yes, given that, it's slightly tearjerking, but it just didn't do it for me in terms of car movies. I understand franchise development, and moving an idea on, but, as a petrolhead, it just didn't feel like Fast & Furious for me. Sorry peeps....
