Emotional

Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2016)

Being a fan of Paul, the end was quite emotional and touching and I must say they have done an amazing job of not letting his absence be felt in the movie. A goodbye well done and well handled.
In general now I expected more from the movie. The only thing that I like about it was the storyline and telling. It has a great development of events so hats off to the writers. Characters however, are not done so great. They lack depth or character dilemmas. I think Deckard Shaw will develop more in the next part so maybe thats why in this one it was so hallow.
Some of the fight scenes were done great such as that between Toretto and Shaw in the end, and some were done poorly like the fighting scene at the beginning between Toretto and Hobbs.
I felt that the tried too hard to make it 'cool' and used too many 'catch' phrases in the attempt. They said out loud what should have been implied and left to said in the minds of the audience. When you do that you risk in not showing the audience what you want but telling them which is always poor.
There were scenes that just are cringy and don't make sense like Toretto waking up from the dead just because Letty says she remembers everything. Or that Ramsey will help them without thinking twice. Because they are loyal to each other? What if they were loyal but used all the good that comes with that for evil reasons? She has no motive to believe or help them at all. And while we are talking about her who is she? All we know about her is that she is good with computers. The shallowest character I have ever seen.
So a lot of things that I dint like but it has a solid story (a substory wishing a greater story) which I liked and which made the movie interesting enough. Some of the action scenes were also well done that make the movie quite enjoyable.
