    Furious 7 what are your thoughts?

    So i'm surprised there isn't a thread about Furious 7 yet. What did you guys think about the movie?

    I hated the fact that there wasn't any evos in the film!!! What i also didn't like about the film was how some random music artist were in the film like Iggy Azalea and Romeo Santos. Why do they need to be in the film? They don't! One on last thing i felt like Paul Walker's character Brian was sort of ignored in this film but for obvious reasons, I just felt like they could have done a better job incorporating him more in the film instead of giving him very brief lines. Overall it was a good movie though there are just a few things that i didn't agree with but i don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't watched it yet.

    Ya I completely agree on the random artist in the movie, specially iggy that bitch is wack !! I also didn't like how over the top some of the stunts were. bit over all I like it a lot, I'm a huge fan of the movies to of course I would like it. I noticed every part witch was paul walker and witch parts were his brother. I really hope they don't make another one though. First off paul walker won't be in it of course and it won't be the same without him and second they are getting to over the top and what other story are They gonna do ? They should end it will it's good before they just completely destroy the franchise.

    just saw it last night , and i was dissapointed, its nothing but missions and was kinda cheesy, compared to they first couple of movies, yes they did a good job with paul walker but his lines were so short in the movie lol. best part for me was the ending that was nice. this movie is more of a funny FF. i just watched it just to finish what i started

    They should have done more than 2 minutes on race wars and brought it back to the whole car theme for the movie, to me it was 80 % fight scenes that were too long and multiple camera angles of the fights like I was watching a Transformers movie. Good tribute to Paul at the end and tastefully done on that part.

    I personally liked it, all the over the top stunts and missions are what the movies have evolved into and i'm okay with it because you can't expect them to be street racing their whole lives. I liked how they incorporated the first movie too, that was cool. I may be a bit biased though because it's one of my favorite franchises.

    This! I couldnt agree more they should end it while they are up. I wouldn't be interested watching FF8 if it isnt the team anymore. Paul and Vin are Fast and the Furious without one all is lost. It was a nice ending i think they all should just retire.

    OHHHH and what else pissed me off the rock he had 2 scenes wtf! i want to see more of him kickin some ass!

    I saw the movie. I have crossed feelings. I don't like all none sense impossible James Bond missions and maybe too much rhetoric in the dialog. I liked fight scenes and almost all the cars. In general it was fine, but could be better.

    It was wack sorry to say it guys. Only reason why I went to see it was because of Paul.

    My thoughts on it as if it really mattered but it's a topic and I have time at work to killed.

    I personally liked the movie. The franchise has gone from over the top action to keep it interesting. Everything from the cheesy lines to ridiculous action/stunts is what has brought the franchise this far.

    We all remember how cheesy the lines were in FF1 and we laugh about it. It was so left field to those that actually know how to work on cars. So it hasn't strayed away much from that. It was done nicely if you read up on what they had to work with for Paul's character. The director went back to all of the archives from FF1-FF6 and took deleted scenes and shots from all of it to cut and add to FF7. They wanted to use the least amount of CGI as possible and some of the dialogue is from his actual scenes that might've not shown up in other parts of the franchise. It was pretty interesting to find out they came up with that much stuff without having much to work on. His brothers and a 3rd person that played him had some input with his dialogue and voice but some of it was from archived items. That to mean was pretty legit how the director wanted to keep it as genuine as possible.

    The action scenes are supposed to be over the top. It's so ridiculous that keeps us laughing and realizing it's still a movie and not real. Not at anyone directly, people whom watch this movie or any movie and get upset over the fact that they can't relate to the stunts or action scenes need to realize it's a movie. I say next to a girl that was totally negative the whole time. Yelling "Oh there's no way she can drive like that!" I wanted to dump my popcorn on her head and tell her to shut up.

    The cameos from Iggy and other people is just something that the franchise wanted to do to draw in today's crowd. When they originally had Ja Rule as a character, he sucked but he was big at the time. Then after he turned it down for 2F2F, Ludacris took over. Ludacris was big at the time they chose him too. Remember that doll face girl from 2F2F? Gross!

    It's overall a good movie. Probably 1 of the best of the franchise and a great way to send off Paul Walker.

    I feel like they could have done so much more. They barely used Lucas Black and they did not use Shad Moss/Bow Wow. They barely used that Hector dude. I also heard they had the Leon character slated to return. There were so many cool possibilities that did not pan out but could have just made the movie so much deeper in relation to what was lost when Paul Walker died during filming.

    Also, I don't think the new director had a good cadence in filming action scenes. His timing seemed off, his cuts were too choppy, and overall his work did not have the same flow as Justin Lin. Further, the writing was terrible. Kurt Russell was sharknado bad in the movie and a lot of the lines that were supposed to be funny fell flat. "Try Belgian Ale" ??? Fuck that. Try writing class. I was sitting near 2 comic nerds who would hoot and holler if something was awesome and funny but they were quiet a lot. The entire audience was quiet unless something was spoon fed into their mouths—like a car jumping off a cliff or some shit.

    Last, I really think they dropped the ball moving even further away from cars. The Racewars scene could have been amazing and Abu Dhabi could have been INSANE if they focused more on street racing rather than that stupid shit with the vault and then....done. Bringing in the UAE angle could have been so nuts and they just dropped the ball. Race Wars could have also been bananas but they just gave us a few seconds.

    Hopefully the unrated version will be better because I felt like I was watching a heavily abridged movie.

    So I just watched the movie and am completely disappointed that there was not 1 race in it, and Lucas Black had about 5 seconds
    in it. Though overall I really couldn't enjoy it, I just instantly teared up when it started seeing Paul. (call me a bitch idc)
    Yet I can say it was pretty good and entertaining but like everyone said it could have been better.

    Also... The angles gave me a headache I get it I'm a skater so I know people like to get weird but they tried to fkn
    hard.

    LOL! That wasn't meant to be directed at you. Someone else posted after you, but had their post deleted. I'm assuming they had their post deleted was because they were a BOT.
