>actors have great chemistry >well choreographed action

Damn I didn't realize the budget was that high. Furious 7 was 190. That's quite a hike. Surprised they had so much faith in this one despite the loss of Walker.

>>81945867
Paul Walker's nice, but the film still has the Rock, Vin Diesel and Statham. Not only that, it was a well-filmed action movie. You can't just rely on star power.

>>81945867
they know the target audience and make films they want whilst not being neutral mediocre directed garbage.
>>81946021
although you say that I wonder how well a film does in box office just for having the rock

>>81946021
They went from 788 million worldwide with 6 to 1.5 billion with 7. I think most people attributed Walker's death to them nearly doubling their take, so it was pretty damn optimistic of them to feel confident enough to increase the budget by 60 million.

Not too well.

>>81945713
desu Statham carried the shit out of this movie

>dat statham-rock interaction

laughs were had

>>81946822
That's a shame because I liked that movie. But they did profit worldwide.

>>81946822
San Andreas made alot, although Central Intelligence made some but not massive.

Maybe he is just modern action movie money magnet. I guess slightly fantasy themes would but some off

I take those over pretty much the entire MCU and most other super hero movies that have come out since Dark Knight.

did these fucking people all forget that jason statham killed Han? I took a piss break so maybe I missed it but I don't think they even acknowledged it at all as far as I can remember.

"Hey bro you never even apologized for murdering our friend in cold blood but you helped us so we're cool now. Let's drink refreshing Corona(tm) beers together"

>character arcs occur
name one

three bald guys who were at one point bald enemies became bald friends

>>81946822
>hercules movie where hes just a normal human

why

>>81947089
this post (>>81947088) is proof. Statham is the antagonist of previous film, yet by the end of this one he and Rock are in a love hate relationship
You have probably not watched the film

>the absolute state American flicks must be in to be praising this shitheap of a movie

Neck yourself tßh

He didn't die. Another organization recovered him. He'll be back in F9 or F10 with a cybernetic arm.

>>81947144
>i was a bad guy
>now im randomly a good guy

That isnt an arc. or at least not a well flushed out one. try again

>>81947202
>That isnt an arc. or at least not a well flushed out one.
mental gymnastics at work. you lost lol

>>81947186
I know that's entirely plausible given the dumb plot twists this series has had in the past but I sincerely hope they don't bring him back, unless it's a prequel or a flashback situation

>>81947202
don't shitpost about movies you haven't watched. No, this isn't an intellectual powerhouse with deep character arcs but neither was Die Hard.

>>81947240
are you retarded? Is your arguement really "lol u didnt even see it"

Surely you can do better faggot?

>>81947216
There was no arc for stathams character. he was suddenly a hero jumping to save the hacker girl and shit out of nowhere. When the not long ago he killed han without batting an eye. Try again

>we wuz street racing and shit
>Car-Avenger the movies now
Cannot wait until they introduce supernatural shit into the movie.
Han and Giselle gonna be reviled through cloning.
The gang will face some super terrorist enhanced with cyborg bodypart and super soldier serum

I hate these movies but I want this film to beat Avatar just for the laughs

>>81947088
You killed my best friend!
>Now I need you to go save my baby

I got really bored and left the theater before it ended. It's like John Wick Chapter 2, weak to no story, and all you do is jump from one action sequence to the next.

>>81947344
the fact that you DID see it and it went over your head is even more embarrassing

>>81947136
To be honest, the idea of him being a con artist who fleshes out his deeds for the public was one of the better ideas of that movie.

>>81947240
Mate you know that you are arguing with a brain dead normie who still thinks f&f series is good?

>>81949954
F&F is pure kino. You're a shit.

>>81950048

Have you ever been to a ballet? Same thing except with cars and guns. Action becomes worse the more cuts there are, same with ballet.
