A decent Furious film

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2019)

I know the Furious films are over the top by nature, but after the 5th film, they started becoming downright impossible to believe. However, that's part of the appeal I suppose, to watch something that could never happen in real life. Number 7 is a decent flick, and I don't have too many complaints. I'd say my biggest gripe is with Tyrese Gibson's character, Roman. Why is he even in these films? I know he's supposed to be the comic relief, but honestly, do you think a professional team would keep a guy that does nothing but whine and complain, and can't even offer any benefit to the team besides being an annoying, loud-mouthed braggart? It's silly to think that above everything, high flying stunts included, that's the part that's hardest to believe for me.
RIP Paul Walker. Not the greatest actor out there, but I really did like his character in these movies, and he seemed like a good guy in real life. The Furious movies will not be the same without him.
