The Fast and Furious films are known as passable action thrillers in general, but have recently came back in a huge way, getting more critical recognition and financial success as time passes by. And with the passing of the serie's star, Paul Walker (RIP), it was unsure how the franchise would go on. Well, now we know that the wheels just keep turning for this franchise, as the latest installment, Fast and Furious 7, just became the highest grossing film of 2015, making it over the $1 Billion mark!
Of course, the death of Paul Walker might have boosted ticket sales, and gave the film a very good, if not emotional, ending. But the film has also recieved positive reviews, with a solid 82 % on Rotten Tomatoes, and has a very solid cast, which includes Groot (Vin Diesel), Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and possible John Stewart (Tyreese Gibson). It is also worth noting that it accomplished this in only 17 days in theaters, and doesn't seem to have any competition until Avengers: Age of Ultron (Unless a lot of people want to go see Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 I guess).
So, did YOU see Fast and Furious 7? What did you think? Comment Below! Fast and Furious 7 is out in theaters and stars the late Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, and Dwayne Johnson.
