Re: "Furious Seven"

I get where you're coming from. This movie tried to be too much like The Expendables. See, the Expendables is packed with fun action sequences, corny one-liners, and hilarity. It's not supposed to be taken seriously. Ever. F7 toyed with this idea with the crazy crap like "big black guy is scared to drive his car out of the plane" and "The Rock makes jokes about being a badass to his cute daughter" and "Jason S. casually tosses a grenade to a guy who then just lets it explode in his hands". HA HA.

But then you've got the shit like the house blowing up and the poor kid is in the van, and I'm pregnant, don't say I love you because that means you're going to die, we were actually married so love will bring you back to life, and Asian guy dies let's have a funeral. Then that really awkward Paul Walker tribute at the end of the film.

Little things bothered me. How did Michelle Rodriguez know to drive her car to the cliff edge to catch Paul Walker jumping off a bus? How did The Rock know to drive his ambulance off a bridge to crash into the drone? Where the fuck was the National Guard/police during the attack on LA? Why did the Vin Diesel keep running away from Jason Statham until the end of the movie when he spent the entire film looking for him? Every time Statham showed up, Diesel didn't want to fight him for whatever reason? Why did the Army dudes just give up on Statham and the crazy black dude? How did they get away with flying a helicopter into US air space like that? Why saw off the barrel of a shotgun if you're not going to conceal it within a trench coat? Why put a USB stick in a car? Why sell a USB stick to a billionaire when you were asked to hang on to it for someone? Why did we need all the overtly sexual, scantily clad chicks walking around everyone when you're not going to pop a tit out at least once in the entire film? Why kill off the Asian dude without any screen time, and then not even do a little memorial thing for him at the end? Where was Dom going at the end of the movie when his "family" was sitting right there? Why did they let The Rock have all those guns with him in his hospital room? Why can't they just take one or two cars instead of everyone driving their own fucking sports car? What was with passing the hacker off between cars at the end of the movie, and how was that supposed to work? Why didn't anyone else think to move the girl underground when the bad guys were flying around in helicopters and drones? What the fuck was Vin Diesel doing driving his car into a helicopter when he could have just thrown some fucking grenades at it or something? Where did the blond chick go? What the fuck was up with rescuing the hacker from the mountains, and why did they have to parachute fucking cars in to do it?

I couldn't tell if I was laughing with the movie or at the movie the entire time. Make up your mind, Fast and Furious. Do you want to be taken seriously, or not?
