"Furious 7" Review

My take on this movie will be different than most, as this is being written by someone who hasn't seen any of their prior installments in full. I went into "Furious 7" to see a good movie, not for a sixth sequel to "Fast and Furious" and I still walked away extremely entertained and emotionally touched. Thus, I can't vouch for whether it made for a good "Fast and Furious" installment (though I've heard it was the best yet), but I can vouch for how great of movie it was on its own. My expectations were not only met but exceeded, as all of its elements (plot, characters, setting, drama, etc.) delivered. Now, let's get into specifics, shall we?

I can tell you right off the bat that you don't have to see any of the other movies in order to enjoy this one. I had that fear going into "Furious 7," and although you may get more of the references made and returning characters (and especially the flashbacks at the end), they do a good job of catching viewers up to speed that may not be familiar with the series. That's what any successful franchise should do: not alienate those that haven't been following since the start and only appeal to those who have. You bring in any new fans that way. And I can certainly say they've made a fan out of me.
