Dodge Charger Daytona is pretty much a Plymouth Superbird Road Runner.

Not at all what I'm talking about. The car that @GTboyz is talking about is the end scene with the White Supra. He is saying that the car Dom is driving is the Maximus Charger which is a real car built by a real tuning/hot rod shop. However, when I saw it I thought it was the Hammer Road Runner. I never said the Superbird. The Road Runner and Superbird are two different specs of the same car. One is a NASCAR basically (built for it) and the other is not.
This is what I was talking about.
Which is not a Superbird.

Nope, '68 Charger tail light right there. Dammit, want to cry again talking about this scene.Not at all what I'm talking about.

Was it a good movie? Probably not. Was the movie entertaining as hell? Yes. Was the way they handled Paul Walker's passing done really well? Very much so. I am sure the actors had an incredibly difficult time with how they handled it. The feels were definitely turned up.

Yeah it is and before you posted I even saw a link from SEMA talking about how it was going to be in the movie, so thanks for updating me. The Maximus is epic, even more so than the Hammer.

the final showdown was a bit disappointing, i like the rescue mission in the mountain, felt a bit more realistic than the final showdown.

I saw it earlier today when I had some time to kill.
In a word, it was stupid.
It was little more than a series of big, dumb and loud action set-pieces loosely connected by a dull, by-the-numbers plot, all of which was interspersed with a preoccupation with being a tribute to Paul Walker. The cinematography was flat and uninspiring, and the score alternating between bombastic and maudlin.

Just got back from the movie theater and I have to say, it sucked.
The movie starts and there's explosions. There's explosions everywhere. For a second, I thought Michael Bay was the director. While we're talking about directors, I prefer Justin Lin's style. There's something that I don't like about the new director's style, but I can't put my finger on exactly what. There were moments in the film that it felt like I was watching a new Avengers movie or something. The all out gun warfare and drones and missiles are ruining the franchise. All the car scenes felt like car chase scenes in Mission Impossible or something. I had to remind myself this was Fast and Furious and not some sort of gun ho action movie. Unless there's less boom boom and more vroom vroom, I'm probably not going to go see the next one.

An awesome waste of time, effort and money; sure. A pet hate of mine is when the story comes to a screaming halt so that an extended action set-piece can take place, but I get that it's part and parcel of films like this. But where this film falls apart is the way these set-pieces are boring. Driving a car out of a fiftieth-story window and clearing the void to crash into an adjacent skyscraper is completely insane and therefore should be exciting. But the way it's staged and shot make it completely lifeless, and the generic score over the top doesn't help.

Came back from showcase cinemas and Furious 7 was damn good. To be honest, the ending. Boy when was the last time I heard everyone cheered and clap at the end of a movie? The last movie I sawed where everyone cheered at the end was X-Man Days of Future Past. And I could absolutely understand why everyone did that at the ending for Furious 7.
The plot was quite interesting to be honest. I got a bit hyped if anything was going to pop up after the credits. Too bad we didn't stayed to watch the credits. Unfortunately I asked one of the people there and they said no. Although if there was something after the credits, then I'd expect something quite suspenseful.
R.I.P Paul Walker.

Nah, no post credits scene which make this ending a lot better. It gives you closure on everything. By this point, i don't think i'll watch the next one, this one feels like the perfect ending to the franchise. No more threats, everyone continue living their lives happily ever after.

^I agree. I don't feel the need to have another one after that ending and without Paul. This was a nice way to deal with the tragedy.
It's not my favorite of the franchise but it was still a fun movie. That's what they've been for me lately... just fun things to watch with friends. They're stupid and won't win any film awards, but who honestly gives a 🤬. When you go into a F&F movie you know what to expect, yet you're still blown away by how crazy it is. At least I was.

Yeah, they drove a car through two buildings! Totally kick ass.
Not as good as in Lethal Weapon 4 though.
I loved that they brought him back just to make it clear that he was useless.Wow, what a piece of s**t
Lucas Black was all like...

And it should be an exhilarating sequence. Except that it isn't. Like all of the action set-pieces, I found myself bored by it. When your audience is bored when they should be on the edge of their seats, you know that something has gone terribly wrong. It was the equivalent of the poor-man's Michael Bay.

Guess it was more of an opinion. People in my theater were screaming "oh my god" and stuff on that scene.
Anyway, i do wonder how will they include Sean Boswell into the franchise, he is supposed to be a high schooler. Unless they connect the plot using Sean's dad, he's a military men after all.

Just leave it where it's at, no need for another. The movie was over-the-top, completely unrealistic, but you wasted your money if you thought it would be anything but; a great, turn your brain off action movie.
The ending was done perfectly, imo. It was Vin Diesel speaking from the heart, not lines written for Dom. Race In Paradise Paul.

Lucas Black's scene is hilarious. They re-use footage from the end of Tokyo Drift (the final scene where Dom shows up for the race, complete with Lil Bow Wow), then cut straight to new footage shot specifically for this movie to continue that scene, so Lucas ages nine years between shots.
