Saw this last night. Although I'd rank both F5 and F6 above it, it was still awesome and full of crazy action! The air drop from the trailers was glorious on the big screen, as well as the building-to-building car jump! And not seen in the trailers (not really that much of a spoiler, but still blacked out anyway for those who want to be totally surprised): [blackout]that there were actually
two building-to-building car jumps, which was just insane![/blackout]
Not much I can add to the raving, this was just tons of fun to watch with tons of action—from the traditional car racing (briefly), various off-the-charts car stunts, a ground-to-air assault on a helicopter, and the always essential hand-to-hand fights. Michelle Rodriguez's fight against a henchwoman wasn't nearly as good as her first fight against Gina Carano in F6 though.
I also found it funny that Kurt Russell was literally credited as "Mr. Nobody".
Oh and of course Paul Walker. I don't know how they did it, but I honestly couldn't tell when a stand-in (CGI or otherwise, like one of his brothers) was used. And dang if that ending didn't cause me to tear up (man tears of course!), it just hit me like an emotional punch especially when that montage started and we got a look again at him from his original TFATF days when his hair was still straight-up blond! I'm a straight guy but even I'll admit that Paul was gorgeous back in the day with that hair and those blue eyes. I pretty much grew up with these movies too (was 18 when the first one came out) and will definitely miss him.
I'm also pretty sure this movie had the highest number of hotties in either bikinis or short shorts. So much eye candy there it was drool-worthy! Not that they all needed to show skin though, whoever mentioned the "hot teacher" picking up Paul's son was right, she was just drop-dead gorgeous.
