Fans of the franchise will be happy to know that 7 is more of the same. Exactly more of the same. It does not exceed or heighten. It does not supply less computer generated car crashes or ridiculous displays of physics. Vin mumbles just fine. The Rock busts a cast off his arm just by flexing. Good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>And if you get excited by the sight of tricked out cars, you\u2019ll giggle plenty. This is a blown out Bond film on energy drinks and bath salts that knows exactly how stupid to be. The dialogue between explosions is directly out of the soap opera textbook. Once the movie gets going (and a hilarious Kurt Russell gets the gang on the road) it is pretty much non-stop fun.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/a3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/a3.jpeg\" alt=\"a3\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8643\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe sad passing of Paul Walker is dealt with in an interesting way and the film becomes a eulogy towards the end.
