An average movie

First of all, to be honest, I have never been a huge fan of this franchise and except for a decent 5th installment, all these movies really bored me, even the most recent entries. Still, since this last installment completely broke the box-office, I was quite eager to check it out but, unfortunately, once again, I didn't care much for the damned thing. This time, it became some kind of 'Mission: Impossible' copycat which was as ridiculous as it sounds. Seriously, the story was just so preposterous but I could have forgotten its silliness if it would have been slightly more entertaining. At least, there were 2 really cool action scenes (the one when Paul Walker jumps from a falling bus and the other one when they crash through 2 towers with a supercar) but the rest was just rather boring, I'm afraid. For some reasons, since Paul Walker passed away during the production, I was expecting his character to be killed at some point but I realized eventually that it would have been really tasteless and the way they simply retired his character was much more appropriate and easily one of the best moments in this otherwise tedious movie. Furthermore, I was surprised to discover that Walker only managed to shot half of his scenes but, while watching the damned thing, I thought it was really him almost all the time so they did a pretty good job here. Anyway, to conclude, I'm rather amazed that this movie turned out to be such a massive box-office success and I don't think it is really worth a look, except if you are really a fan of this franchise.
