Good Fun, and A Wonderful Legacy for Paul Walker!

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2015)

"Furious 7" is the latest in "The Fast and The Furious" Franchise, whose production was halted due to the tragic death of Paul Walker, who played the co-lead, character of "Brian O'Conner" in the series, along with Vin Diesel's "Dominic Toretto". Reportedly less than half of Walker's scenes had been completed at the time of his passing. Through digital magic, Walker's two brothers, who closely resemble him, stepping in for him at points in the film, and re-writes, production then resumed, and now the film, Walker's last – is out. I hadn't seen one of movies at the time of I heard of Walker's passing. I watched all the previous shortly thereafter. While there are flaws, some cheesy Dialogue at times, etc., the movie to me are just guilty pleasures, simply meant for fun – And I really like or love each one. "Furious 7" is no different. Car chases,fight scenes, laugh out loud moments from Tyrese Gibson as "Roman" in particular, the theme of family, and Kurt Russell's "Mr. Nobody" is a great addition. Yes, there are some unbelievable moments, but it's fun, and you don't care. Without spoiling it - The exit for Walker's character is handled with class as reported. Will there be more? There is one aspect that is left open-ended, and the plan was for 10. I predict there will an 8th, or they will spin-off Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character of "Hobbs", as has been a past rumored, and pick up that story line that was left open in that film. For this movie, a wonderful legacy for Paul Walker, May he rest in Peace – 3 ¼ out of 4 Stars – 8 1/4 out of 10 Stars.
