Sloppy and Furious: Seven Furious Movie Review

Let me start this review by saying that my expectations of this movie were astronomical even better than I hoped for a swan song to celebrate Paul Walker and input characters in the series and further establish its place in the world. In other words, to provide a proper Walker goodbye.


But if you're like me, you do not feed 7 furious expect any of these things. But to the credit of director James Wan, Furious may not accurately defined as pure anger created some dedicated fans as they left the theater.
I mean, it's not rocket science, James Wan (Ed James is the director, Chris Morgan wrote the script). Street Racing Furious 7 and should not. I do not understand where the tender, probably the only fiber that binds the franchise went. To the delight of the fans, we are blessed with a good view of the first scene. To avoid spoilers, he is the first and the last scene of the tragic race 7. Furious Y. This is a parody of the film.
Outside the old, new, right? The head of Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Justin Lin, director James Wan and Furious 7 negotiate road racing scenes might unwary little "safer ... guns, explosions, intellectuals and women dress lighter evil exponentially with any fee that passes.
What does that leave us? In essence, a franchise that is desperately trying to adapt to the times and the increasingly sophisticated tastes of the public film in progress. And that, I believe, is where the franchise goes wrong. Certainly an original idea of ​​Wan will do well at the box office. At the end of the day, but it is precisely this technique and expression?
Without jumping the shark here must be the objective of a true professional is to create the best possible product for the first time and then wow the audience behind. If these two are confused, yes, apparently it ends with a politician: a man or a woman whose explicit goal is to win favor with all means, including attitudes and pimp. But defining the true artisans of their trade on the basis that, in line with their vision ... not the number of tickets that can be sold at the box office.
Unfortunately, we live in a generation where we have the cart before the horse. We can witness many other series that have been squeezed every penny he could to win. The series Fast & Furious seems the main cause of this society as Insider noted that it "should cease," while Holly Wire is considered the most extravagant set of his films.
I sincerely believe could benefit from a series of well made and could now expect to avoid the disposal of the franchise for years to come. The series is increasingly difficult to define itself from the rest, if you really decisions Wan more film. No street racing, which is to your advantage? In particular, what is unique about this film? The series will be the apathy of the masses and in the same way, to experience dilution of creativity.
The problem with the Furious 7 dissonant rhythm inconsistent. If you want to add to the list of complaints, the public quickly bored of explosions and industry overworked bow Wan somehow help them to become more than just a hole in flames as hundreds of Hollywood magic balls burn large IMAX screen.
Speaking of points, there are a variety of exotic locations something that has always been synonymous with Fast & Furious. But unlike factor immersion Tokyo Drift always expect something. Instead counts stereotypes facsimile of Middle Eastern culture that must be seen as thin as paper substitutes for the real thing, the public banking is not smart enough to realize how underutilized real sense of place to the film. A feeling when you can feel a bit "condescending.
Attention, this is the amount James Wan dropped the ball when he had a band at the peak of nearly 15 years worth of character development. Instead of exploiting the growth potential of the characters, he chose to keep them in their original packaging shrink, making them obsolete in the face of ridiculous romantic scenes unrealistic and when they fall back into serious roles that are performed routinely during the latest movies.
Wan does nothing to promote the franchise. In fact, without giving anything away, a series of free-kicks and shots were clearly from the previous films in the series. Of course, we can look at these artistic decisions in two ways: either Wan wanted to honor the films from the past, or did it out of laziness.
In any case, the plot Furious 7 's much in common with their predecessors for my taste. The last three films seemed to have taken on a strict formula: we meet with imperfect people and some interesting characters, they encounter a problem they choose to work together to solve this problem, have identified a group of "bad guys" and the group of misfits unlikely in any way in the wet and dry, with twist or monotony see your goals through.
But perhaps Wan is smart. Compared with the general public, car fans make up a small part of the population of the film is one of them. Perhaps Wan and his crack team of producers realized that the American public has at least an idea of ​​the prosperous oil stopped somewhere, deep in his blood. "After all, brother uncle, my father never had a moment ... or the Camaro was a charger? Anyway ..." I guess the average viewer Furious 7 are generally not interested in cars, but fortunately enjoy trips . And there is no shortage of money to be made from these viewers, less demanding, it is an absolute fact. So maybe it Wan finally genius.
We will approach what I do not like this movie more clinically. Furious 7 shows a trailer to the network. Each trailer. Whether you have seen the movie or not. Just look at all the old caravans. Through the window YouTube, it's a film that inspired adrenaline. A high-octane thriller full of action, with the stars in equal parts to the actors because the cars.
But that's not what we saw in the movie .... I felt a bit "cheated out of the theater. I did not expect really a traditional action movie. And, frankly, it was pretty long in the tooth number 1000 explosion breaks, while the complexity insignificant complicated plot X never exposed to lead .... Just stop worrying about the seventh fucking movie, just to meet our cast of heroes live racing another car. (Ed.- While most of them ... .RIP Paul Walker)
"Hey, it's a football and relax, great, simple movie, Hollywood action blockbusters, so why do I care?" You say in the discussion. He may be right. But I have grown substantially since the original Fast and Furious in 2001. Call me cynical as you want, but I expect a film suspend my disbelief, keeps my interest, make me care about the characters, a movie that you are trying to do a job breathe by mouth, a film I'm tired of seeing the end of time, a film that has a sense when I leave the theater, instead of thinking, "What I saw?"
But perhaps there was nothing to the depletion of the original tradition Wan, in the first place. Perhaps the characters set supports errors and unrealistic from the beginning.
Or, just as likely Furious 7, my expectations were artificially high because of my interest in the series. Finally, I heard severance Paul Walker, both literally and figuratively was tough. I dare say it was definitely sloppy.
