I'm not sure if there are any fans of this series here but I just want to say that the latest installment is the best one probably and without giving too much away - it has one of the best movie endings I've ever seen. I'm not gonna lie, I shed a few tears - the only other movie which made me do that was the "Schindler's List".

If you enjoy turning your brain off sometimes this film is great entertainment - regardless of the fact that some action sequences are way over the top and that it redefies the laws of physics.

It was fun to watch, nice ending!

Sorry, but it's corny, full of terrible acting and the ending is a joke...so cheesy I laughed...its hackneyed and forced...I think this was written by a 14 year old boy to appeal to 14 year old boys...

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same ending Paul... When you realize that the guy is dead in real life it becomes emotional, especially if someone was watching the whole series for 14 years like me - it's over half of my life. I think it was a beautiful tribute, full of nods to Paul Walker - especially the white Supra which belonged to him. I shed a tear when Dom's Charger continued going forward whereas the white Supra turned left, retiring the character in a very respecful way. The movie is cheesy and they know it - even Dwayne Johnson laughed about the scene where he brakes his plaster. You really have to watch it without trying to understand it, it's supposed to be a big action flick wit a lot of reving and explosions

Yep...that's the forced ending we are talking about - truly awful !

I've seen them all...even own a few...but this was a major disappointment for me...and I'm not convinced they were all in on the gag of knowing it was cheesy...its not a terrible film but it's not even half the film Furious 5 is...

Furious 5 was actually way cheesier in my opinion, the vault towing scene always cracks me up Totally absurd but enjoyable, as for the ending - well, I get it. Honestly I have to admit that I haven't heard from anyone else that the ending was forced... For me it wasn't, I think it was perfect and it will be remembered - at least according to the critics because a lot of them are praising the ending. Anyway, I will not visit the cinema for the second time but I don't regret watching it!

Well according to the Onion, Fast 5 was written by a five year old boy.

I watched the first F&F movie and then sort of forgot about them until
number 5 & 6 ( both of which I really enjoyed ) so I'm looking forward to
7. -{ I do agree they are silly action/pop corn films, but I love the car
chases and over the top action sequences. With Paul's death, they were
Bound to reference it. From what I've heard from people who've seen it
They thought it was a lovely way to end it.

The first Film was really just about about Car Racing -{

It probably was cheesier....but I felt the actors understood that and had great fun with it - which transmitted across....
I'm not saying you are wrong with Furious 7 - I just have a different opinion -{
