CineVueAllie GemmillApr 4, 2015
While it can feel, at times, a little too scattered (often in terms of plot), this is a praiseworthy venture. Its a film that knows its audience well enough to give them exactly what they demand and deserve after more than a decade of dedication. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternApr 2, 2015
In the wake of Walker’s death, it constitutes a farewell of fitting elegance. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottApr 2, 2015
Furious 7, formulaic or not, knows exactly what kind of movie it is. It is a superhero movie without the tights. It is a comic-book franchise without the radioactive spider bite. It is, plain and simple, an automotive "Avengers." Read full review

Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonMar 25, 2015
The sheer sense of ludicrous, punch-the-air joie de vivre is impossibly infectious. Read full review

The GuardianCatherine ShoardMar 25, 2015
There’s something about the franchise’s earnest investment in its characters that’s quite unique. Its longevity is because it functions as much as a soap as an action flick. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinMar 25, 2015
I’ve always enjoyed the idea of the Fast & Furious films more than their execution, but this feels like the series’ strongest, even though some of its action sequences are so muddled they can barely walk straight. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMar 16, 2015
A film that (whatever massive efforts were required to work around [Paul Walker's] absence) is as stupendously stupid and stupidly diverting as it could have hoped to be had everything gone as planned. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerApr 3, 2015
The only grace note in this otherwise determinedly graceless movie is the classy way Walker’s exit is handled. Read full review

Portland OregonianJeff BakerApr 2, 2015
There's too much head-butting between human battering rams Diesel and Jason Statham, too many noisy explosions and generic special effects, and not enough car races and chases. Read full review

The PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinMar 16, 2015
Cacophonous, gratuitous, and peppered with absolutely outstanding action sequences, Furious 7 finds the franchise at an unwanted crossroads, but it makes such a play for the diehard fans that it leaves everyone else at somewhat of a loss. Read full review

The Film StageJared MobarakApr 16, 2017
There’s so much happening that the whole gets boring for long stretches throughout. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)John SemleyApr 2, 2015
The reflection offered in the puckered muscle and polished chrome of Furious 7’s heroes feels like a cheery escapist distortion of a culture that more closely resembles the smashed steel, mangled bone and blood and vomit of a plain ol’ unsexy car wreck. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsApr 2, 2015
If you don’t crave the taste of motor oil on your popcorn, Furious 7 can’t end fast enough. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezApr 2, 2015
Here is a film in which nothing is at stake: Cars crash into each other head-on at high speeds, vehicles sail off cliffs and tumble down rocky mountainsides, people jump out of buildings and fall six stories to the ground, then characters just dust themselves off and continue as if nothing had happened. Even Wile E. Coyote wasn't this resilient. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartMar 31, 2015
Despite James Wan’s capable direction and very game cast, the whole thing goes increasingly wobbly like a bad axle, until it’s just a tangle of metal and bullets and yelling. Read full review
