Peter Travers over at Rolling Stone, gave it a nice 88 score, saying: “Furious 7 is the best F&F by far, two hours of pure pow fueled by dedication and passionate heart.”
Betsy Sharkey from the Los Angeles Times, gave it an 80 score, stating: “Furious 7 is the fuel-injected fusion of all that is and ever has been good in “The Fast and the Furious” saga.”
Jacob Hall from the New York Daily News, gave it an 80 grade, saying: “Furious 7 never even pretends to be a stand-alone movie. This is a fan event through and through, filled with references, inside jokes and a loyalty to continuity that may baffle newcomers.”
Alonso Durade over at TheWrap, gave it an 80 score as well. He said: “If incoming director James Wan (“The Conjuring,” “Saw”) falls the tiniest bit short of what Justin Lin brought to the third, fifth and sixth entries, Furious 7 nonetheless ranks a very successful fourth place overall, with at least one gargantuan set piece that ranks among the series’ finest.”
Tom Russo from the Boston Globe, gave it a 75 score, stating: “Finally, a movie with at least some coherence despite its sadly challenging circumstances.”
Michael Phillips at the Chicago Tribune, gave it a 75 grade, saying: “It’s roughly as realistic as Georges Melies’ “A Trip to the Moon,” of course. But revisiting our old pals (one of whom is played by an actor who is no longer with us) and watching them survive one unsurvivable collision or plunge after another, continues against the odds to have a walloping charm all its own.”
Chris Nashawaty from Entertainment Weekly, gave it a 75 grade. He stated: “No one forks over 10 bucks to see one of these flicks for its logic. We go for the bananas demolition-derby mayhem. Furious 7 delivers that with the direct visceral rush of an EpiPen.”
Claudia Puig over at USA Today, gave it a 75 score, stating: “Furious 7 offers edge-of-the-seat excitement with outlandish action sequences, inventive stunts, hilarious cartoonish moments and even some touching emotion.”
