How I felt about Furious 7




Fast & Furious 7, one of the most anticipated movie in 2015, has come on screen.

Now let me clarify one thing before I start, I'm not a die-hard fan of Fast & Furious but I have watched every single film which has come under the name of Fast & Furious. I, personally, am only interested in the street racing scenes. Call me stupid but that's true. I have never watched any Fast & Furious series in cinema, until now, FURIOUS 7 IS THE FIRST EVER.

Torreto, leader and the most magnificent fighter in the crew, has called on a "one last ride" to his men as they were being hunted by Deckard Shaw, brother of Owen Shaw(villain in Furious 6) due to vengeance. Deckard killed Han in Tokyo, blew up 1327 and put Hobbs into hospital. Toretto is then approached by Mr Nobody, a leader of covert ops team, offering to assist him in hunting down Shaw, in return of saving a hacker named Ramsey who created a software named God's Eye. The movie went on to Caucasus Mountain, then Abu Dahbi and finally the fight was being brought back to the streets of LA.

Overall, the movie isn't a disappointed one. In fact, I would say that this is not a movie just about street racing, it is about protecting the family. Like the slogan from the poster, "vengeance hits home", so the family members will doing everything they can to protect each other. For the fighting scenes, I would prefer Hobbs v Deckard instead of Toretto v Deckard. The latter is too overdone. Faces being whacked by bars and guess what, NO ONE EVEN FELT A SENSE OF DIZZINESS. Try using a broom and smashes it right into your face and see how you will feel.

Jason Statham, he perfectly executed the role as a villain. Being a bad-ass brother is not easy, but Jason, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID IT!

The racing scenes never disappoint me too. They lived up to their name as "fast and furious". I really enjoyed the movie for whole, but sadly, the ending was too cruel.

The send-off for Paul was truly a touching one. It is hard to imagine another sequel without Paul. The ending saw Brian and Dom bidding each other farewell and drive off in separate ways, acknowledging Brain is better off retired with his family. But we all know the truth that the scene is a send-off for Paul, who had left us on November 30, 2013 due to a fatal car crash that claimed his life. The parting was followed by a montage of Paul's journey throughout the series, from the very first Fast and Furious until the current one. Kudos to the director and crew's of Furious 7 as they have done a great job for Paul.

"One last ride", for Paul.

For Paul
