A dead sequel begging to be killed

Rating: 4/10 (3 April 2015)

This movie was over-hyped with the pre-release death of Paul Walker and that's it. It is long and that should be warning enough if you plan to watch this in a theater and not end up enjoying it. Jason Statham just drops in as big brother out for revenge and in my opinion a big let down for big fans of his like me. He just pops up in every single plan devised by Vin Diesel's crew which is actually a bit too much. There could have been a bit of character building for him but unfortunately it ain't there. No story here but then that would be expected of such a movie. If they plan to kill the franchise with this one, I think they have succeeded. The "family sticks together" and " all I have got is family" dialogs are re-used and someone in the dialog dept needs to come up with some fresh ones. Action scenes do not look realistic and they are over blown to the limits.If you are going to watch it for the cars, even that is a big let down. Save your money and watch it on DVD or cable cos that's all this movie is worth. And I believe Universal should stop with this sequel completely. 4 stars just for the action scenes which you could watch in the trailer itself ..!!!
