You know what you will get here...

Granted that I can't claim to be a fan of the "Fast & Furious" series, but still have managed to gotten around to watching them all whenever the chance presented itself. Though this is definitely not movies that will lure me to the cinema. It took me about two years after its initial release to get around to watching "Furious 7"; yeah, these movies are not high on my to-watch-list.
"Furious 7" was every bit as I had expected, which wasn't much. Sure, there is an abundance of cars and action here, which is essentially the only thing that the franchise is about.
Story-wise, then "Furious 7" was every bit up to par with the previous six movies. So if you enjoyed those previous movies, you will also enjoy this one. Just don't expect storytelling on a grand scale.
Personally I can't claim to have any interest in Vin Diesel or his inability to act and his monotone delivery of every single line. However, Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez is what I enjoy watching in this franchise. The cast is actually quite alright, and has been so throughout the entire franchise. It was quite nice to have Tony Jaa and Kurt Russell show up in "Furious 7".
There is a lot of action and cars in the movie, as I mentioned earlier. Personally I don't care much about cars in any way or fashion, so that has little appeal to me. The action, however, now that was top notch. Actually, some of the scenes were just so over the top and campy that it was hard not to laugh at how ludicrous of it all was. I mean, the scene where Dwayne Johnson breaks off his cast and goes to pick up a Gatling gun to take on a helicopter was just too much. I was actually ready to turn off the movie when they dropped out of an airplane in their cars and almost all of them practically managed to land spot on the road, that was just downright ridiculous. And finally the scene where they had a car jump through three buildings was also seriously too much.
"Furious 7" is definitely a movie made for the male audience, so it is filled with testosterone, cars and action.
While it certainly is an entertaining movie, it is also a movie that you shouldn't take too seriously, because it is just blown way out of proportions and lacks a sense of realism. "Furious 7" is hardly a groundbreaking movie by any means, but proved to be just as entertaining as the previous six movies in the franchise.
