Take it for What it is...

Rating: 5/10 (28 October 2015)

Furious 7 was meant to have a lot of action, stunts, and crazy story lines. Do not see this if you expect anything else. There aren't any Oscar performances or anything like that. Vin Diesel is classic with his cheesy acting and terrible one liners. That being said, Furious 7 is a fun movie. Just like in the previous 6, there are fast cars and crazy stunts. At one point Vin Diesel even dead lifted a car. Really? Probably not, but still awesome to see. Another good point was Jason Statham. He really did have a exciting performance as the villain. He battled Vin in crazy situations throughout the movie, and just kept coming back. He even escaped death at the end in a seemingly guaranteed death scene. All this being said, the cheesy one liners are really what put it over the top for me. There were a few times where the "good guys" repeated earlier lines to the villains right before a death or intense moment. It really did take a way from the surrounding excitement. All in all, a fun movie, but not a great movie by any means. At the end, there was a nice farewell to Paul Walker. The tribute did a great job of leaving a lasting and warming ending to the movie, and Paul Walker. Paul Walker played his character greatly in this series, and he will be missed in the future. RIP
