Furious 7 is such a delightfully ridiculous action movie. I mean, though I have more to say about this movie, that line honestly could comprise the entirety of my review. This movie is such a fun thrill ride, with action scenes that will have you shouting “no way” and screaming “YAS! fuck him/her/them up!” while also providing a fitting send off for one of its beloved stars, Paul Walker.
Rare is it these days that you get a horror film that manages to elevate itself into being a great film. Sure there are those that are scary, and many are competently made. But every once in a while you get something that is the perfect combination of craft, scares, and spirit that you can’t help but acknowledge its greatness. The Conjuring, the new film by James Wan, is the first horror film in a long time that I’ve been so thoroughly entertained by every aspect that even when I was scared shitless I was in awe of just how well made of a film it was.
