Furious 7 (2015)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Fast and the Furious franchise has become fast-food for action-movie junkies; consume one meal and you're already onto the next one in a heartbeat, once it's available. Furious Seven is no exception here: we have a fast, outrageous and crazy action film that f###s the laws of physics in beautifully stupid ways, but at least it's memorable and HONEST stupidity, unlike Michael Bay's movies which fail in embracing that investing stupidity. Director James Wan knows that he's doing a movie that's basically Looney Tunes mixed with 80s-90s action-movies such as Speed, and he freaking loves what he's doing. Vin Diesel is having a ball and so is The Rock, Paul Walker (who died during production), Jason Statham and even 80s-mainstay Kurt Russell (who freaking owns every scene he's in). So get prepared for the movie-equivalent of a ready-to-eat meal and turn your brain off; it's cinematic bliss that relishes in its over-the-top nature.Furious Seven gets a rock-solid 4/5 stars.

Watched this the other night, and I can't believe all the good reviews it is getting. I just oon't get it. I wasn't expecting a cinematic masterpiece, I knew full well going in this was going to be a car chases and explosions thrill ride sort of movie. Well, we got the car chases and explosions, but for me there was no thrill ride. I found most of the stunts visually uninspired and boring, and in spite of usually being able to turn off my brain and go with it, in this case I spent most of my time shaking my head in disbelief. This was so over the top it made old episodes of The A-Team look like a documentary. It wasn't so bad I stopped watching, but the thought did cross my mind. To all the "it is so bad, its good" folks, I usually like that sort of movie, but I don't think this one fits the bill, and since I enjoyed Crank 2 I think that says plenty enough. If you dig it, more power to you; if you haven't been following the franchise, go re-watch the Transporter or anything else for your car chases and explosions fix and give this one a pass. A certain amount of hoak and cheese can be fun, this was just too much for me, and I'm not the only one.

To be honest I can only review the first half of this film. I am amazed that I was able to last that long. At that point I had lost the will to go on breathing.A whole lot of muscly men with mediocre acting ability (which is not stretched in this film), scantily dressed women, exotic cars and really juvenile dialogue combined with a plot that you could write on a postage stamp.If you can't tie your own laces or are out of your head on something this may be made for you. Otherwise steer well clear. It's not even bad in a funny way.

Furious 7: Movie Review.Furious 7 is a film with little bit taste and touch of Humor and it is also sad and emotional too at the same time. Some Action Sequences are good and well executed. James Wan Direction is good.The fight sequences of the movie are well directed as well as well performed. The performances are enjoyable. Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Kurt Russel, along with rest of the cast are amazing in their respective characters. Story is not so great but visually its thrilling till the end. As for Paul Walker and his performance, he is charming as ever. It makes me sad and emotional that I have watched a last performance by him. It makes me emotional to say that this film marks the final appearance of one of my most favorite character of this series, Paul Walker. His performance in the movie is above all and its emotionally touching. The Tribute and Honor to him at the end of the movie is very emotional and touching and very well directed to say goodbye and farewell to one of the legendary character of the Furious series- Paul Walker- Brain O' Connor.Fast and Furious will Never going to be the same.--For Paul---Thank you Paul Walker for Entertaining Me. You Will be always in my heart and in my memories. You will always going to be one of my most favorite character in Fast and Furious films for all time. Furious 7 is the movie which always going to be close to my heart because of Paul Walker.All over, Furious 7 is a good movie. It's Fun, Entertaining, Action Packed and Emotional Ride.(Please Note: That This Review represent only my professional point of view and my personal honest opinion about the film, and does not represent others. Thank You).
