Fantastic addition to the franchise

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2015)

Action packed, heart breaking, and worth every penny.
I left the IMAX theater last night satisfied that if they never made another F&F movie I would be content with how this one "wrapped up" the franchise. It brings all of the movies together. Everyone always wonders why Tokyo Drift felt "out of place" (we have to remember the franchise storyline is out of "sequence"), well you don't have to worry anymore. This one will wrap it all up in a tiny little bow for you as you cry your eyes out over changes to the "family".
Statham was a wonderful addition as the villain. The fight sequences and stunts seemed a little far fetched at times, but well worth it in the end. I didn't find as much comedic content in this one as the last, but what few bits were thrown in to make us laugh were good.
I did, however, feel anxious throughout the entire movie because I was not sure how they would deal with what was left of Paul's character/story after his untimely death. I can say, that I was pleasantly surprised that nothing was taken out after this happened, fortunately, he was nearly finished filming his scenes when it happened. His brothers stepped in like champions. It was very subtle, but you could tell the scenes when one of Paul's brothers were standing in. Even though they both look a lot like him, it felt off. The scene chemistry felt different and the camera angles/shots were definitely different. Little things covering their faces or being on the edge of the shot instead of the middle near Dominic.
Overall, I was satisfied walking out of the theater. If they decide to not make another, and end the franchise with this fantastic tribute to Paul, I am content with that. It felt like closure when leaving the theater. It felt like we weren't left hanging for something else to happen. It felt right.
