over the top

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2015)

This is a bit hard to review because we all know what happened due filming this flick, the sudden death by car accident of Paul Walker. Excellent the way he's seen throughout this flick and in the last minutes were Vin Diesel is saying stuff towards him and an ode is shown towards Paul I can understand that some fans will wipe away a tear. It's really sad what happened of course but we are stuck with part 7 and for me it was all over the top.
it picked up were part 6 left and that was fine until the cars come out of an airplane. From there on the whole movie is an over the top action flick. If it would have been a movie on it's own it would have been great, style 007 or Mission Impossible but hey, face it, it is still Fast And Furious. We do have car chases and naturally in the beginning German Junk Car lost it from the US Muscle Car, that was good but overall, it was more about the action. The car jumping from building to building, doesn't fit for me in a F&F flick.
So I'm left with a bitter feeling. It do has an open ending so up to part 8 but really, let's go back a bit more towards the cars in stead of action like this. Part 6 was fine to see and is was just limited in action to not exaggerate the action.
What can I say, not really my thing this time.
