Well, this
is movie where this Franchise entered the big leagues, this movie made over
$1bn at the world-wide box office, and got critical acclaim of 80% on Rotten
Tomatoes, with an average of 6.7/10, the highest the series has ever gotten and
a decent 7.2/10 on IMDb, only slightly below 5.
Compounding
everything is the unfortunate death of Paul Walker. He died (rather ironically)
in a car crash. Most of the filming had been completed, all they did is re-do
the ending, with digital effects houses super-imposing Walker’s face over the
body of one of his brothers. We’ll talk about how they ended it later. But here
are my thoughts on how the movie stands as a whole.
