Did a good job of paying tribute to walker at the end. That's about it though unfortunately. Oh and Rhonda rousey was amazing

Watched it yesterday, no real surprises Jason Statham was a bad arse and the tribute to Paul Walker at the end was well done.

It was a top movie. Loved the scenes in Abu Dhabi and the parachuting cars. Tyrese was his brilliant funny self :lol: Had the entire cinema in stiches.

This movie has absolutely cleaned up at the box office:

Not only is that a difference of $116,600,000 between 1 and 2, but if you add the takings from ALL movies ranked 2-10, you get $69,260,000 which is not even half of what F7 alone took in, and is more than double what Fast 5 brought in on its opening weekend at the box office!

A lead actor dying is every producers wet dream. It was always going to do well regardless of whether the movie was any good or not..

Didn't you see how good the series has been going lately? They've all been cleaning up better than the previous at the BO since F&F (4).

Haven't really been paying attention tbh. Watched the first and thought it was good. Had no interest in the rest though.
Glad that it's been doing well, just stating that the walker tragedy and this being his last film?? Will see this dwarf it's predecessors regardless of the quality of the film.

Not exactly blockbuster competition it's up against...

For me, Tokyo Drift was the best for the racing and cars (and is now the central movie to the series), whilst 2 and 4 were the worst. Fast Five in Brazil was the best of the action movies and pretty close to Tokyo Drift.

My only wish was to see Lucas Black have more of a role in the last movie.

Also, was that Paul Walker CGI at the end when he looks at Dom from inside his Supra? Doesn't look all that real to me.

It's CGI, it will always have an element of fakeness to it. IMO though they did it pretty well.
Ive been told it was his brother who filled in at the end.
Both his brothers did.

It's Pauls Face CGI on to his Brother Cody.

Yes.

It also cleaned up on illegal downloads:

FURIOUS 7, the latest instalment in the action franchise that broke box-office records this weekend, is also blazing-hot property among internet pirates.
Since opening last Thursday, Furious 7 has been downloaded worldwide 2.59 million times on torrent networks through to Monday, according to piracy-tracking firm Excipio.
That?s even though the copies of Universal?s film currently circulating on pirate sites are illegal in-theatre camcorder copies, not higher-quality digital rips.

yep. some people go to the cinema at a certain time when hardly anyone/noone else is in there, and they set up the video camera with a tripod. sometimes the video/audio quality is ok

I thought 'hotted up cars' went out 10 years ago and the f&f movies I've seen had terrible acting. Not even going to bother watching this but seems to be doing really well at the box office so maybe I'm the odd one out.

These movies aren't so much about the cars now, as they are about the storyline. Fast cars etc... is the core of the franchise, but after Tokyo Drift, they shifted their attention to the family side of things. This has been most evident in 5, 6 and 7.
