Jut plain silly.

Rating: 4/10 (6 April 2015)

Yes, I know this film is designed to be merely some fun (mindless) action/ entertainment (well, I sure hope that was the intention), but it falls short of even that.
I can understand the need for suspension of disbelief when viewing this type of film, but these plot contrivances were beyond incredulous. (Spoiler) The God's-Eye story arc was unreasonably far-fetched to begin with, but the further sub-plot about it being sold to an Arabian Billionaire was completely inane.
The film's main appeal, the action, was not enough to redeem it in the slightest. Too over the top and CGI dependent, it just came across as silly and completely unbelievable (and I'm not meaning, 'suspension of disbelief' unbelievable, I'm talking just plain stupid)
The obligatory 'good guys almost lose, but win in the end' plot points were painful to watch, and did not manage to create a sense of suspense in the slightest. The 'romance' between Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez was excruciating to experience, as was much of the cliché dialogue. The only tolerable performances came from Jason Statham and Tyrese Gibson (with Gibson managing to offer *some* comedic relief). It is difficult to decide who gave the poorest performance; Vin Diesel or Dwayne Johnson (the latter, I am fairly certain pronounced 'cavalry' as 'calvary', a word with a completely different meaning). Kurt Russell's appearance was downright sad. The one-liners seemed almost like satire.
The montage of Paul Walker at the end was endearing, but it is ultimately sad that he was associated with such a poor film. There did seem to be some real emotion from the other cast members in the final scene, but it was unfortunately overshadowed by the long, excruciating, ridiculous film that preceded it.
As of the 7th of April, this title is rated 8.2 on IMDb. I cannot understand how anyone can honestly claim that this is a good film.
