The ONLY reason I saw Furious 7 was for Paul Walker, I fully expected it to be a hyper-unrealistic movie with ridiculous explosions and car crashes and stunts to make it action packed to counter a boring plot and I was right. I'm sure they'll come up with F&F 8-12 before they say "know what? I think we're good, shut it down." Spoilers below if you've seen it.

In the first scene, the "evil guy" rampages through an entire hospital with little more than a pistol and takes out dozens of swat guys in armored vehicles and automatic rifles and body armor and just WALKS out of the hospital like nothing. Ooook...

And a top-secret government agency with agents that "don't exist", "just a shadow", allows a bunch of civilians to operate as part of a top secret military operation that has a hacker with a super-duper hacking program that could destroy the world, and instead of using a bunch of up-armored military vehicles with cannons and stuff, they use a Subaru STI, a truck, a buggy, and a couple other normal cars. Ooook...

I love how Vin Diesel crashes hundreds of feet down a mountain, flipping over dozens of times and he and the girl walk out of the car like "meh". Only for the end of the movie he jumps a car off a parking garage 2 stories, lands flat on the ground and he almost DIES. Really? Dramatic much.

Later, The Rock takes a torn out mini gun with NO ammo supply OR electric supply to spin the barrels or support for the massive recoil and begins firing thousands of bullets into the drone.


Just some of the weird things they got away with.

The best part of the movie was the last drive, that was the most powerful segment of the movie, and actually a great tribute.

It's called "suspension of disbelief" - it's a movie.

Anyway, I haven't seen FF7 yet, but like OP, I was 13 or 14 when the first one came out. Probably wouldn't be into cars as much as I am if it wasn't for that movie. I'll be sure to catch it in theaters.
