Furious 7: My Review

My husband and I are HUGE Fast and Furious fans, and Paul Walker. We have never missed a opening weekend movie, ever, and I’ve never missed a Paul Walker movie. From the beginning of the first Furious movie, we have been relentless fans, standing in long lines at the theater and then buying the movie as soon as it comes out so we can watch it again. And then watching it again if it shows up on a channel somewhere.

We are the type of couple who would rather sit home and watch a movie, and only on special occasions do we go to the theater. Even now, with the ease of buying tickets online and picking your seat (love that option!), we only go when it’s a movie we know we don’t want to miss!

Fast and Furious movies are always special occasions.

So this morning, we got up and headed out to our favorite theater, the Alamo Drafthouse, for breakfast (if you count breakfast as Hatch Green Chili Queso, Loaded Fries, Corona, and Rocks Margarita!) and watched Furious 7.

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I told my husband later I needed Xanax just to watch that movie, because I was so scared and happy and sad, experiencing so many emotions with that movie, sometimes at the same time. And of course I cried at the end.

I was worried how they would do Paul Walker’s scenes, but they were all so seamless. So very well done. It’s hard to pick a favorite Fast and Furious movie, but this might be it for me.

No kidding. For true fans, you know when you hear a line, or a music (loved how they played the Tokyo Drift music!)  I was disappointed that they didn’t have more of Lucas Black. I thought he did so well in Tokyo Drift, I was hoping they’d make him part of the team. And I’m hoping they’ll keep Brian (Paul Walker’s character) and add Lucas Black to the next Furious movie.

Action, comedy, romance, drama, thriller. This movie truly has it all! I can’t say enough about it. I know these characters like the back of my hand, I feel like I’m a part of the Furious family that Dom always speaks so much about! Loved the tribute to “Brian” (Paul) at the end! So so so so so very good. Would love to see it again tomorrow!

Oh, and being such a huge fan of Jason Statham, I was almost disappointed to see him as a bad guy. But he makes such a good bad guy!

I don’t want to spoil too much for those who haven’t watched it yet, but if you haven’t watched it, what are you waiting for? Go now!
