trailers look a bit mad, wondering how they're going to deal with the Paul Walker aspect. like all the films except #2, hoping this keeps up the run with a new director.
Not long now Saturday 4th April in IMAX tickets booked........

Paul Walker ------ Not only a great actor, but he was a really great,
down to earth person.
He will be missed.

Frickin loved it !!!!!!
Action off the scale and first impression is its one of my favorites in the franchise.
Statham was superb in it and every scene he was in was great.
He had some great fights too.
Rock was ace but not in it much.
A solid 8.5 / 10 for me

Well just back from Manchester IMAX.............
Just gathering my thoughts.......
Just gathering my thoughts.......
Wow, what a movie......
From the moment it starts it doesn't let up, yes you have to suspend all logical belief, but hey it's a friggin movie at the end of the day, I wasn't sure how Statham would suit this franchise but credit to him he is a decent bad guy.....
Yes some of the dialogue is cringeworthy, but it kinda suits the film in a way......
The action scenes are a joy to watch, so well choreographed and beautifully shot, you can see the budget is all up there on the screen right in front of you......
The Abu Dhabi segment for me seemed the weakest point in the movie, but I'd be nitpicking to be honest....obviously there will have been some re-writing because of what happened to Paul Walker, some of the later scenes are very nicely done and to be honest you'd be hard pushed to notice any CGI or the use of Paul's brothers, considering the hurdles the film makers must have faced, I do think they've done everybody concerned proud.
Due to the financial success of this sequel (140 million opening, which is BIG) i believe there is talk of the franchise continuing, it'll be interesting to see where the next instalment will go, especially without the Paul Walker / Vin Diesel dynamic.........
All I'll say the ending does wrap up proceedings nicely and is a good tribute to Paul Walker.

Just watched this last night.
Not a lot I can say that hasn't been written already, especially @T-800 great review
For me, this film had eveything 'Mission Impossible : Rogue Nation' didn't IMHO
BH rating 8/10
PS Just seen on IMDB that the budget for this film was $190 million (estimated)

Seen this a couple of times now, always been a fan PW it's a cracking film I think the end is a great credit to paul and a good send off from Van that must have been so hard for him to do and as for that song its perfect and one one of my favs, just waiting now for a limited box set with them all in it.It really is a shame and a waste of a great talent, he he did a lot for charity to and had an amazing collection of cars he even had a Audi RS6 Avant
Best one of the franchise so far, DVD out in the next fortnight, popcorn and beer at the ready,YEAH!!
Bring on number 8 in 2017, seems Statham, the Rock and Kurt Russell all due in the next installment.

Thoroughly enjoyed this at the cinema and loved it just as much 2nd time round on blu ray.
The Rock and Statham are two of my fave action actors too.
