The style has changed, but I can still give 5 stars

It can be seen that the director's style has changed. The strong street style of 4, 5, and 6 feels very real. Although the drag racing stunts are exaggerated, they will not always remind you of the feeling of "this is a movie". 7 has completely turned into a typical Hollywood action movie, with a mix of high-tech weapons bombing the metropolis, but the most important protagonists, Dom and Hobbs, seem to be less important, Dom's team It is also optional, and anyone can play it.
Judging from the special effects of the screen, the film is well-made and full of sincerity, but I always feel that something is missing, and the character of Mr. Shadow is a bit baffling.
Dom and his gang were stealing a car in Abu Dhabi just now, and they went to Los Angeles as soon as the camera turned. To be honest, I couldn't accept it. Seeing them standing on the mountain chatting I thought they were in Abu Dhabi.
This brings up another problem. The mercenaries drove gunships to strafing and bombed the sky over Los Angeles for 20 minutes. It seems that they gave the Air Force 2 F16s a 1-second shot at the end to take care of logic. Is this realistic? Therefore, the real-world street style of 456 has become an overhead world like GI Joe. The boulder lifts Gatling and shoots against the helicopter in the sky. It feels like a roadblock against Cobra.
The presence of Walker and Dom in a situation like this always gives me a sense of insanity.
In addition, the drones in the play are seriously beyond the technological level of the real world.

Furious 7 quotes

  • [last lines]

    Dominic Toretto: [remembering the time he had with Brian] I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that's why we were brothers - because you did too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or half way across the world, you'll always be with me. And you'll always be my brother.

  • Letty: Why didn't you tell me we were married?

    Dominic Toretto: You can't tell someone they love you.
