One of their own is dead. Fans of the Fast & Furious knew this day was coming. Han had to go to Tokyo eventually. Less than two years ago, we were almost ready for that moment, but what no one saw coming was the tragic passing of Paul Walker. His death, changed everything. What do you do now? How do you pay your respects to Paul? Well, you rally, and make your story about one last ride. The last ride is special. The last ride is all about family. The last ride is an awesome tribute to Paul. Buckle up, it's go time.

I'm a huge Paul Walker fan. I've grown up with him. His death sucked. If you've never seen…

"This time it ain't just about being fast.”

James Wan, who is well known for directing horror films (The Conjuring and Saw), took over the seventh film in this franchise replacing Justin Lin who had been sitting on the director’s chair since the third installment. What I found most interesting about this franchise is that it didn’t seem like it was going anywhere after its solid debut in 2001 since the first couple of sequels focused on different characters and storylines. Even when they got the entire cast back together in 2009 for the fourth film I didn’t feel like it was anything special. I’d always mildly enjoyed the films, but it wasn’t until Fast Five that I was really…

When it comes to The Fast and Furious Franchise, I'm really not that big of a fan. I consider Fast Five to be the best of the bunch, but I still only gave it a low 3.5/5. The biggest problem this series faces is everything in between the action is very lacking. Don't get me wrong, I like to turn my brain off and have fun; I just wish these movies gave me a little more in between the impressive action sequences. Overall the franchise is fun for the most part, which is mainly due to the cast.

Even though I'm not a big fan of the franchise, I was pretty excited for Furious 7 for two reasons: James Wan…

Review for Black Sheep Reviews:

“Cars can’t fly.” Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) explains to his child early on in Furious 7 – cars most certainly cannot fly, but that doesn’t stop these movies from making them. It’s hard to believe it’s only been four years since Fast Five (and director Justin Lin) reinvented the Fast films, turning the vigorously oblivious, melodramatic shlock with a penchant for vehicle-centric mayhem and homoerotic camaraderie into the weirdly superb action-franchise hybrid we now know it as. Appropriating the globetrotting pleasures of Mission Impossible, the suave charms of Bond and buddy-heist fun of Ocean’s 11, and doubling down on the good-natured earnestness and charisma the franchise has had since day one – the recent instalments…

Secondo me il miglior capitolo della saga dopo il 5 (anche se l'8 è lì lì per soffiargli il secondo posto), nonostante si sia dovuto far conto con il tragico incidente che ha portato via Paul Walker in fase di realizzazione, soprattutto grazie all'inserimento del buon Giasone come cattivo che si mangia tutti i precedenti.

Per il resto le solite scene d'azione mega pompate (tipo macchine lanciate col paracadute da un aereo o che saltano da una torre all'altra) che ti fanno esaltare come un bambinetto al luna park condite con le botte tra The Rock (nonostane esca di scena abbastanza presto per poi ritornare in grande stile), Vin e Giasone senza dimenticare il plus di "stile" dato da Kurt…
