Why Furious 7 is the way it is and why we should all learn to appreciate it.

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2015)

First of all, personally, I love the movie.
I have heard many people complain about the franchise veering off street racing (and racing in general). I have to agree with you. If you came to watch Furious 7 expecting some racing action, then I am sorry but you will be disappointed.
On the other hand, the action in this movie is intense and with constant location jumps, be sure to have your seat-belt on, and try not to sweat. Now the reason for this major jump in action? As Vin, the cast, the producer have constantly emphasized, "It gets bigger every time". And to add, the addition of James Wan as the new director of this second trilogy (yes trilogy, I'll explain later), he came with the mindset of a major blockbusting action movie, and he did just that.
So some of you may be upset about the story, but you must come in watching Furious 7 in the mindset of the director and producers, then you can truly appreciate what they are doing.
From this point, I'm just going to explain other Fast and Furious things, feel free to move on or read on.
So first, the trilogies. The first trilogy is 'Fast & Furious' (4), 'Fast Five' (5) & 'Fast & Furious 6' (6). Although the stories are consistent with previous movies (Except Tokyo Drift but the order is a known fact) these were produced separately, and you can say this is where things began to veer of street racing. The next trilogy is 'Furious 7' (7) and then Fast and Furious (8) and (9). Now with the tragic death of Paul Walker, I think they should just stop at 8, some may think it will end at 7, but here's the thing, if Paul Walker was alive, he will call us all 'soft' (or the word used to define a small feline, or the part between a woman's legs) if the franchise was to end after 7. Now whether or not 9 will happen (8 is confirmed) is likely, but after that, there are no plans ready yet.
And just an interesting tip, Furious 7 is actually the movie with most involvement of cars and fighting out of all the movies, involvement in cars however barely includes racing (only the first race in race wars). It also has the least amount of NOS uses. The reason may be more action but also as the movie is longer than the rest (and watching it sure feels like it will never end)
