The Perfect Ending

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2015)

What is great about this movie is that it is the perfect finish to this series. For any movie fan that likes cars, for any person who can appreciate the meaning of family and for any person who just purely likes very action packed films, this is the perfect ending to a pretty great series.
I admit I was fairly skeptical when the first few movies came out. The plots seemed very dry and more about the cars than anything else. When they made Tokyo Drift, I was almost ready to give up on the series. But beginning with the fourth movie and concluding with this one, it has become one of my favorite series ever.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are the perfect compliments to each other, the classic muscle head and the tech savvy friend, both striving together to find common ground. Then when you begin to build in their supporting cast, you can't doubt the prowess of the writers. The dysfunctional nature of the first few movies turned into an incredibly complex story line, filled with plot holes that continued to be filled as the movies continued.
This movie finished the series perfectly. It completed the story like between Toretto and Leddy, it showed the family side of this group that all fans love, it showed the finale of Brian O'Connors changes. All of it worked perfectly in sync and then concluded with the perfect tribute to Paul Walker.
I won't spoil the plot ending for those who haven't seen the movie, but for me this movie was everything it needed to be. It isn't a movie that movie snobs will look at and be able to critically debate the nuisances but it will be one that they will appreciate. It won't win awards, but to those who have followed this series closely it will be a satisfying ending to the story. I will personally never be able to watch any movie with any of the the main cast of this final movie without thinking of the Fast and the Furious series.
If you are at all debating seeing this movie, don't. Just go and watch it. You will not be disappointed. It truly is the perfect ending to this underrated series.
