Not the most furious of fast, but still an entertaining flick

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Furious 7" (2015) is not the best in the series, although entertaining flick. If you like this series, you will definitely like "Furious 7". It's has over the top action scenes, nice but nothing fresh plot, cool actions scenes - everything you can expect from the series.
There are problems with this movie nevertheless. With each installment, the action scenes becomes more and more unrealistic. You have to turn your disbelief meter off to enjoy this flick even as an action popcorn flick. The outcome of each action scene is sooo over the top, so unrealistic that i simply tough "Oh come on"! after each of them. I know this is an action flick and i know that this is a popcorn flick, but ... really? From many many near dead scenes our heroes witnesses, one with a driving off a mountain when surrounded by a bad guys in this movie stands from a crowd. I mean - really??? You can simply do THAT and WALK from a car with NO bruises??? As usual, there are hand to hand combat scenes and as usual - no one bleeds! Because this is a PG-13 movie.
The villain was not bad at all here - Jason Statham, probably the most menacing villain this series have had yet. The opening scene with him was cool, although rushed with bad music and to quick cuts. But i didn't like the outcome of his.
Overall, if you like this stuff, you will like "Furious 7". It's slightly better then the 6th part, but no match to a "Fast 5", which is still i think ranks as the best in the series. There is also a nice last farewell scene to a late Paul Walker - really nicely done here and has more meaning to a real life than a movie.
