Worst movie I've seen in a while

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2015)

I'll keep this nice and quick and simple. This movie is absolutely awful. I get the whole Paul Walker tribute thing but even that isn't enough to make up for the extent of horrible that this movie easily reaches. I got dragged out there to see it with a few friends, expecting it to be at least half decent (considering how hyped up it is) and I was surprised. Not pleasantly, either.
The acting is absolutely atrocious. The story line is clichÃ© and not even the least bit creative or believable for that matter, but I'll get into that in a moment. Corniest thing I've seen. Maybe ever. Not to mention the fact that it is almost 2.5 hours long! I understand a good movie being that long (i.e. Fight Club) but this was just 2.5 hours of complete idiocy. The only half decent thing about the movie is that it does have some pretty beautiful visuals. Other than that, complete trash. The storyline has been done. It tried to be hard and sentimental, but turned out to be cheesy and weak.
I understand a movie being a bit of a fantasy or having fantastical elements, but this just slaughtered any hope I had left for this film. Various completely unrealistic and predictable fight scenes, cars flying off of planes and through buildings (and still, miraculously, surviving the fall), a ton of things that didn't even make any sense (that might just be because I pretty much kept falling asleep), and a bunch of completely pointless car engine revving and head on collisions. This may seem a bit nit-picky, but the thing that really bugged me throughout the whole thing was the fact that no matter how many intense, violent fights happened, not a single scratch could be found on any of the characters. They rolled a car off a cliff at tremendous speed, crashed a train, got smacked around in horrible fist fights and wrecked pretty much every car that they came in contact with in an incredibly destructive way and still, nothing! They just pop out looking perfect and unscathed! I think that's just poor production and a complete lack of attention to detail.
None of the characters were particularly likable, the only one I even really cared for at all was Brian, Paul Walker's character. Everyone else I pretty much disliked equally. I was disappointed because it had a pretty good cast of actors and actresses and I expected something of much better quality. Overall, waste of time. If you really, really love Fast & Furious franchise, give it a go. But this was just atrocious. Not even remotely worth the $10 theater ticket. But I guess that's a different argument altogether.
