AGAIN, WARNING, REAL ACTUAL SPOILERS
Good movie, don't watch it if you don't know the saga though because YOU WILL BE LOST.Spoiler:1. Oh god, the first 30 minutes were painful. Yes, I understand that this entire movie is a tribute to Paul but the amount of cheesy lines and weird shots were almost unbearable. Cheesy ooc level Sherlock bachelor party.
2. I love Jason Latham's character so much. I swear he is the villain with the best taste in car. Obviously I'm biased because I believe in European car gods but damn
3. THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T KILL DECKARD. it means he'll return right right right right
4. I could tell which shots were body doubles' and which ones were actual Paul's.so sad to see my first celebrity crush dead
5. The plot was pretty painful and all over the place. Not a fan tbh.
6. I hate how Gisele is dead. But maybe she'll pull another Letty, or better yet, a twin Gisele.
6. I forgot how much I hate Lucas Black and everything about Tokyo Drift but Han until this movie. Ughhhhh please don't bring him into the team later on. I really did let out a sigh of relief when I realized he wasn't gonna have a huge part in the movie. THANK YOU EUROPEAN CAR GODS.
7. Where was my post credits me needs my past post credits
8. One word: PHYSICS.
9. The whole emotional Letty thing... Didn't dig that either. But dressed up Letty is so cute
10. Roman's one liners were pretty good. Some did tend to last forever though.
11. DID I SAY I MISS GISELE COS I MISS GISELE
12. Dunno. Maybe it's the sound editing, or the new director, or the fact that everyone was just depressed after Paul died that the movie as a whole seemed like a an expensive cheesy Sharknado on steroids. How should I say it?
Right, Furious 7 feels much less edgy than the previous 3, and for good reasons, but still, I needed to say something. The parts shot before Paul died were great though.
13. RIP PaulI'd like to think he died happy because he lived a fulfilling life and passed in a fast car aka his favorite thing.
Also, everyone should watch Taxi. Gisele Bundchen doesn't play a hot villain everyday ya'll.
Spoiler:
So I'm not the only one who thought of Conan Movie 5 when they flew the car through two buildings, then? Good. "Cars don't fly, Dom." Well, at least you realize this is supposed to be impossible.
I was glad Lucas Black wasn't in much of it, either. I'd only seen Tokyo Drift the day before I saw Furious 7, but his accent drove me UP THE WALL. It was way too overdone.
I liked Hobbs' daughter, though. She was great.
