Furious 7 Review: 15 Reasons It's The Best In The Series

From the craziest action yet to Paul Walker's emotional farewell...

After facing arguably the toughest production of any movie in recent Hollywood history, Furious 7 is finally out in the wild, and critics and fans alike have been singing its praises. Currently the best-reviewed film in the series, praised for its thrilling action and potent farewell to Paul Walker, it seems like the franchise just keeps getting better, and honestly, how many seventh movies in a series can you name that are this good? Though some might prefer Fast Five or Fast and Furious 6 by a nose, this list aims to convince why Furious 7 feels like the ultimate movie the series has always been shooting for. From the absolutely glorious action sequences to the varied supporting cast and impressive way the filmmakers dealt with Walker's death, Furious 7 is virtuoso cinema as far as these dumb, fun vehicular mayhem movies go. Though it probably won't win or get nominated for Best Picture as Vin Diesel seems convinced it will, it absolutely delivers what fans are expecting, and then some. Without any further ado, here are 15 reasons why Furious 7 is the best film in the series to date. But of course, there's always Furious 8 to look forward to, which will no doubt be officially announced in the coming months... SPOILER WARNING: the end of the movie will be revealed.
