A surprisingly effective reboot of the original franchise

Rating: 5/10 (10 June 2016)

So I finally got around to watching this, and I actually got more than I bargained for.
F7 reboots the franchise and fixes the chronology, which now looks like this: The Fast & The Furious, Tokyo Drift, Furious 7.
All continuity errors are now solved, and the remaining films are no longer canonical.
F7 was notable for its broad audience appeal. Box office figures showed that it was the first film in the trilogy to be enjoyed equally by gays, blacks, Muslims, and normal people.
Vin Diesel attributed this success to the richness of its cross-cultural references and the broad diversity of its cast (heterosexual whites, heterosexual blacks, more heterosexual whites, and some other heterosexual whites).
I personally found F7 to be the most rewarding and realistic of Vin Diesel's F movies.
I rate Furious 7 at 16.65 on the Haglee Scale, which workes out as a generous 5/10 on IMDb.
