There are some really good action scenes but at the same time the plot has a lot of flaws. There are some really unrealistic scenes for this type of Genre as well, for example cars getting parachuted out of a plane, which sounds great but when you watch it, it looks so unrealistic. This isn't a film about super heroes! I have really enjoyed past F+F films but this one certainly wasn't the greatest. Not unbearable but average.… Expand

Perhaps it's strongest point is how, given the amount of over the top stunts it contains, still manages to deftly handle Paul Walker's character in an unavoidably emotional last several minutes. R.I.P Paul Walker.… Expand

Generally very spotty and eventually generic. the fight scenes are the only goo thing, but they come too fast, and ofeten too underdeveloped.some inexplicable things happen, and no one seems to have the answers.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really can't like this movie.... I just can't... It's a cliched and generic action movie with cars. In fact, it felt like it was trying to be mission impossible. Don't get me wrong, the action was really fun and that is one of the redeeming qualities of this movie. That and the ending which has a tribute for Paul Walker and it made me cry like a baby. I just couldn't contain the tears. That ending and the action alone bring this movie up to a 5/10 (mediocre)… Expand

What a ridicuous film! Some delightfully hilarious violence and gleeful action sequences shot with engaging cinematography made for an uproarious experience visually, but that is where the praise must end. The dialogue is beyond terrible,What a ridicuous film! Some delightfully hilarious violence and gleeful action sequences shot with engaging cinematography made for an uproarious experience visually, but that is where the praise must end. The dialogue is beyond terrible, product placement is utterly horrid and woefully integrated, in fact any time a 'storyline' is attempted, the film loses its way entirely. The performances are nothing short of abysmal and the 'male gaze' is thoroughly nauseating. I still had fun as I have a weakness for action films, but don't expect anything beyond some glitzy stunts. 3.99/10… Expand

There haven't been many in the series that I thought were really good. The first one is by far the best in my opinion and I believe that it has to do with the more limited budget forcing more realistic car sequences and more believable action. These types of movies need to get back to the type of chases that made Bullet and the French Connection chases classics that people still talk about.

I thought having Statham in this movie was going to raise the fight sequences to the quality of movies like The Transporter, but I was wrong. Statham's talents were mostly wasted as were Tony Jaa's. They could have easily been replaced by just about anybody and nothing would have been different. These guys really should have been on opposite sides of this fight so an epic clash could be filmed.

With Diesel doing voice acting in movies like Iron Giant and recently Guardians of the Galaxy, I feel like there is a very legitimate actor under all of that muscle that has been mostly overlooked or paired with bad scripts for most of his career. This is no real exception. All of the dialogue between him and Rodgriguez was cringe worthy and the filler dialogue between wasn't much better.

The only thing I thought this movie got right was the tasteful tribute to Paul Walker. The way they handled it brought satisfactory closure to the character but leaves it open for further installments. Although, at this point, I must say unless they are willing to up the quality of the writing and get back to more realistic action (which can be just as entertaining) they should just stop now.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Number 5 was best because the story made you think. This movie, like #6, has very little story but lots of action. Action scenes at the end are way too over the top, like jet helicopters and drones chasing cars in L.A. Good movie that could have been great if the movie makers spent more time on story instead of crazy and unbelievable action scenes, how many times does Vin Diesel crash full speed into stuff before we say "come on, give me a break!"… Expand

Granted one of the main guys died prior to completion of the film so they were probably a little limited in that respect. Regardless I think F&F movies have essentially run its course. The first couple were good then when the rock came on it was good again but now I think they are beating a dead horse a little. Action is very far over the top. Just couldn't really get that into it. Story was kinda weak as well. Still like the actors and that is probably the only reason why I still go to these movies.… Expand

The attempts at establishing a character motivation story are nothing short of laughable. The dialogue that's supposed to tell my why I care about these characters, and why these characters care about whatever they're doing, wasn't much more than a string of cliches and one liners.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"I don’t have friends. I got family".

"If you die, I die."

"Thought you could leave without saying goodbye?"

If the dialogue is in the movie to explain the action, that's fine. In this case, though, the writers are trying to make me care about the characters and it falls painfully flat.

To make matters worse, most of the actors in this film can't act. I recall the scene in which Kurt Russell is explaining to Vin Diesel why he needs to take this "one last job". Initially, Diesel's character doesn't want to participate in the caper, but Kurt Russell provides the right motivation to change his mind. However, had the sound been muted, I would never had known. I would have watched Vin Diesel stare angrily, with his most "badass" glare, for 60 seconds. There was no change in expression, no body language, no indication that Vin Diesel had any cognitive activity at all. Just words tumbling out of his mouth as he speaks and agrees to the job as if prompted by someone off screen.

I guess there was some romance, and some drama, too. I couldn't tell. Again, the acting was so poor, and the dialogue was so bland and incongruent, that the director needed to rely on the score to tell the audience how they should feel at that moment. Sad moment = violins. Romantic moment = violins and soaring strings. Even in the middle of one of the many thrilling action sequences, for the 4 seconds when a character glances at his or her true love while their lives hang in the balance, violins and soaring strings. I'm so happy the director gave me those audio cues to let me know that I'm supposed to feel something right then...

Speaking of the action sequences, they were mostly terrific. No longer is F&F about fast cars, it's a full-on action adventure series now. The action was thrilling to say the least. Well shot, well choreographed, and well stunted. Check your sense of disbelief at the door because so many of the stunts and sequences defy all logic and physics. Nonetheless, they were incredible and incredibly fun.

I would like to see more F&F films in the future. My advice, stick with the action and adventure stuff. The "feelings" stuff, it's just not your thing.… Expand

An Easter weekend cinema-going of this topical car-chasing no brainer, a franchise has already exceedingly overstayed its shelf-life, reaches an unforeseen acme catalysed by the tragic loss of its co-leading man Paul Walker last yearAn Easter weekend cinema-going of this topical car-chasing no brainer, a franchise has already exceedingly overstayed its shelf-life, reaches an unforeseen acme catalysed by the tragic loss of its co-leading man Paul Walker last year (ironically in a car crash, again a bloody testimony of "movies are deceitful”, considering in this latest offering, no lack of crashes, but not even a minor concussion incurred or whatsoever.). After the series best FAST FIVE (2011, 7/10) and a degenerative FAST AND FURIOUS 6 (2013, 6/10), this time, the director chair has been delegated to James Wan, the master-hand behind SAW & INSIDIOUS horror trademarks, it is a sure-thing its box office will explode and achieve another series-high, but reckoning a story and cast overhaul is inevitable for its next move, let us take it as a sincere eulogy not only to Paul but the franchise itself.

If you liked the others, you'll like this. However, it is objectively a poor film - poorly acted, obsessively loud, terrible cameos, pointless frames gratuitously focusing on female arses for no reason other than "just because", nonsense plot, a complete lack of story continuity, with obviously dead characters suddenly not being dead - again, "just because"...

Basically, it's a movie for teenage lads and boy racers - there's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect people judging a movie objectively to be "nice" to it. No brain, plenty of noise.

The Rock performs the Rock Bottom through a glass table though. For that alone it gets an additional two points from me.… Expand
