Fast & Furious 7 - Part 1

[Greens]

I haven't seen any of these since I went to see 2F2F in theatres. I clearly need to fix this.

Yes, you do.

I can't wait to see 7.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Saw the TV spot last night.

Why is it that explosions in movies all look so fake now? Have studios really forgotten how to blow sh** up?

Vin needs to drive to the ****ing moon in the next one.

A lot of filmmakers have stopped blowing **** up for real. It's a shame, because real explosions will always look better. Just look at the new Mad Max trailer.

 

[samsnee]

That I agree with. Everything looks like a video game cut scene these days.

Yeah, exactly. I watched White House Down a while back and I was shocked at how damn near EVERY bit of action was CGI. It was just painful, and this was from a director whose resume consists primarily of movies where the world gets destroyed.

Every action director out there should hire Michael Bay or George Miller as an explosion consultant, dammit.

It's true. Nowadays it looks like a cartoon and takes you out of it a bit. Hollywood used to love blowing things up

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah. That scene where Dom's house explodes looks so bad.

 

[MrMaooz]

The game was stressful for me, but when I saw Dom drive out of the tower, I couldn't help but smile like an idiot.

IMO because of the MPAA. i fear that the MPAA forced hollywood studios to make all explossions and fire look fake. why? because the MPAA thinks that if it looks fake it doesnt look dangerous to the young kids. IMO

30-40 % of fire in the new mad max trailer is CGI. confirmed by people who worked on effects. they can make everything look real. if the studio and directors asks them to do it. i am not talking about the tornado scenes. it is true that Mad Max Fury Road will have an insane amount of practical effects. more than a Bay movie IMO.

fake fire is not a mistake. its done like this on purpose.

That's ridiculous. If parents aren't teaching their kids that EXPLOSIONS are dangerous, that's on them.

 

[TX85]

Not sure about the car flying through buildings but I really liked the rest of the trailer. Looking forward to it even more now!

When Dom said that this was one last ride,Was that filmed after Walker passed away or was this movie always meant to be the last?

Off topic question.

But who are these ppl of the MPAA?

What gives them the power to give out ratings etc? They better not be a bunch of old folks. Lawd.

When Lucas Black signed on to return for Fast 7, which was before Walker's death, his contract included that he would have a big role in a theoretical 8 and 9. I would like to know if this was meant from the start to possibly be the final film for the Toretto/O'Connor crew.

 

[ComicChick]

Honestly, we watch these films solely for the characters. We love them, for better or for worse.

 

[Symbiotic]

Somebody pointed out on IMDB, and I checked it out for myself, that the Italian Facebook page for the franchise is promoting the next full trailer for launch on Thursday.

 

[Marvolo]

I just hope this is more Fast Five and less Fast 6.

I wouldnt count on it. The Rock's character has become a full fledged cartoon character. "Daddy's got to go to work." *breaks cast* *shoots up an entire city street with an M61 Vulcan*

Supposedly, they represent every big demographic in the US to give a balanced perspective.

I think they wanted to have that in there in case certain people didn't come back. There were rumors that Paul Walker didn't want to do anymore

And yet, that all works for me. The Rock is one charming SOB. He makes me want to shout at the screen, "IT'S STILL REAL TO ME GODDAMNIT!!!!!"

 

[Kane52630]

Yeah The Rock was the exception in Fast 6.... As with any movie he's in.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Completely agree. I don't quite know how he does it, but the Rock makes me accept the ridiculousness.

 

[Man in the Suit]

Fast 6 wasn't as good as 5, but seeing 6 might have been the best theatrical experience I've ever had. Never seen a crowd be so vocal and clearly into a movie before.
