What did you want from Furious 7? Driving Miss Daisy
You didn't like it but you keep driving it home, we get it. It's highly unrealistic but the majority of people don't go in expecting it to be but apparently Furious 7 insulted your intelligence
Write Universal a letter and get your $12 back
To back my man vet. it is one thing to have unrealistic action, but unrealistic to the point that it takes you out of the movie is too much. Yes, dragging a vault is not realistic, neither is driving a car under an 18 wheeler, but it wasn't to the point that made me say or think "c'mon".
***spoiler*** the movie starts out with statham threatening the staff of the hospital that his brother is in, then he turns around a destroys it? Really? Lol. This Bollywoodish type of intro was supposed to suggest the level of bad a__ness that statham was supposed to be. It was so bad, it felt like a parody.
All that being said, I still enjoy the franchise as a whole and I will be watching part 8.
5 > 6
Not even close.
Shaw was the best bad guy though, I agree.
Dom looking over to his right to optimus and asking him.
Ride or die?
Just rewatched 6.
Absolute best film in the series. Most complete. Brought everything to the table that the series is known for.
The open, with Brian/Dom racing. The song montage with highlights from the first 5 movies beginning the theme of "family" with what they've all been thru together.
The threat in this film, Owen Shaw waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more legit than the villain in any of the first five. Owen goes toe to toe with both Brian and Dom. The bad guys in 2 and 5 were worthless, didn't even get their hands dirty. The bad guy in 3 was a high school kid.
Braga was fairly legit in 4, and who did he work for? Shaw. And he reappears for this one.
Letty being back. Huge points there.
The Dom/Letty race. Greatness. They showed Dom drifting, they used Nos, AND they had Dom do the move Brian pulled in 2 when he 180's the car and drives in reverse. One race, they touched on the entire series.
The fight sequences. Letty/Reilly. Ja-Roman/Han. The fight on the plane between all of them. Brian/Dom at the pawn shop. Brian in prison with Braga
The ramp cars.
The tank scene.
Redemption getting their pardons. Hobbs dealin straight, knowing while technically "criminals" they weren't threats like governments would consider them.
Letty and Elaina talk at the end, not petty catfighting, but respect for each other.
They had humor, fights, characters back, nods to the series, tied up loose ends by sending Han to Tokyo/showing who was responsible for his death, emotional scene with Gisele dying, over the top action above and beyond the vault, they just flat out hit every mark.
Best villain, Dom/Hobbs workin together, matching team making the threat that much greater, increased action/stakes, incorporating races between OG castmates, it's all there.
Best film in the series just over 5/7.

Y'all got me wanting rewatch the franchise, but I only own 5-6.
