    It was alright. I only knew James Wan from the first 2 Saw movies. Didn't think he made the transition to the action genre all that smoothly. Nowhere as inventive as Justin Lin. It was entertaining; it just could've/should've been more. I'd rank it in the lower tier when it comes to the overall franchise. So my ranking list will look like this

    Fast Five
    Fast & Furious 6
    The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift
    Furious 7
    The Fast & The Furious
    2 Fast 2 Furious
    Fast and Furious

    One thing I will say to those who critique the physics. You are aware that the laws of physics have never existed in this franchise right?

    Suspension of belief is essential to this franchise. What I respect more than anything is that the movie played by its own rules. They don't just let cars float in the air. When Dom jumped through those buildings, he made the first jump due to the explosion propelling him further while in the second jump, the car aimed considerably lower.

    Point being, the car was light as ? , so much that Dom could pick the ? up with his bare hands lol. Either that or Dom, Hobbes, and Shaw are gotdamn metahumans.

    I'm pretty sure that at the very least there was realistic physics in the first 2, maybe 3, movies

    The first 2 are packed to the brim with many ? yous to the laws of physics. Which is ok because these are movies. They're not obligated to be limited by the rules of the real world.

    Tbh I enjoyed this movie. For those saying that it was so unreal well technically so was the whole franchise because in reality damn near everybody would've been dead lol overall the flick was good. Hopefully the new terminator will be good or some what better than this film tho

    Those were the scenes that seemed incomplete yet they put obvious emphasis on. Camera focused mad hard on him, the cast is staring at him from afar, yet he isnt saying anything. Cringeworthy.

    I get that its supposed to be over the top, but this ? gets more and more ridiculous with every movie. Im always gonna be partial to the original (I saw it 7 times in theaters), but I prefer when it was just about cars and less about cgi dominated super hero action scenes. I swear the F&F crew could take the Avengers in a fight. I give it a 6 outta 10. It might grow on me like 6 did, but its still 1 and 5>>>.

    The Rock must´ve had a busy schedule cause he was barely in the movie. Im surprised at how many scenes Paul was in considering how much left they had to shoot when he died.

    how was it not? so we do a tribute for Paul Walker at the end but his character didnt die? so Brian O'Connor rode off into the sunset? left his wife and kid behind? I get they wanted to do some sort of tribute to him but it didnt make sense in the context of the story, thats what I mean by confusing.

    He retired from the life they were living in the movie mia said Brian told her he missed dodging bullets ..that's why she told him after it was all over to promise her he would leave that life alone to be there for the new baby

    And I'm guessing when he and vin split at the end he was going back home to his family

    I didnt really catch all of that or didnt remember it, makes a little more sense now that you explained it like that I guess. The way it was done was like he died in the movie but he didnt. Anyway, movie was still just so-so to me.
