These movies suck giant monkey balls.

The way they have used Paul Walker's death to their advantage in advertising is shameful.

Fuck this movie.

I haven't seen any ads for it but have they really?

Thread's closed, pizza boy. Find another way home

 

[CrocMother]

I always see the one in the NY subway where it's a gray background with nothing but Paul Walker and Vin Diesel looking sad.

You wouldn't even know it's an action movie about dudes driving cars looking at it.

EDIT: found it

one last ride? seriously?

 

[Mr.Swag]

I haven't seen any ads for it but have they really?

Not at all.
Dont know what that guys talking about.

The trailers are mostly Diesel, Rock and Statham.

Not exploitave at all.

 

[Mxrz]

Wait. Nevermind the Best Picture hilarity. Why is this going to break box office records? Pretty sure one or two of the movies were direct to dvd.

 

[Jarrod38]

All we know is during that speech when Furious 7 gets Best Picture Vin Diesel will be free.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

No way this is even getting nominated for BP. It won't even win Best Movie at the MTV Movie Awards. That would go to Avengers or Star Wars.

Wait. Nevermind the Best Picture hilarity. Why is this going to break box office records? Pretty sure one or two of the movies were direct to dvd.

None of the films were direct to DVD and this is Universal's highest grossing franchise.

 

[Sean]

Honestly, Furious 7 probably will end up being one of the better movies this year. They took a winning formula and added Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, and Tony Jaa. Looks fun as hell.

Franchise made a massive comeback a few years ago, the last movie did like 800 million at the box office.

 

[TheKaeptain]

In a perfect world this movie would make more money than Avatar. It's the perfect blockbuster film. It's loud and dumb but unlike shite Avengers and Transformers it has a heart that shines through in every scene. It truly believes its message about family. The scenes have actual stakes and you feel like any character can die during them. Jason Statham is a fucking wreaking machine that makes every comic book villain seem like a child playing dress up. James Wan crafted a true love letter to all the films we 80's and 90's kids grew up watching.

Also, the trailers don't even show most of the film.

The first film since T2 to get big budget action films right.

 

[Bad_Boy]

this movie is going to make so much money it's not even funny.

 

[Always-honest]

I am curious about how good it is and i think a SHITload of people will see it and love it. It will be a huuuuuge succes.
Also, it would be refreshing if a movie like that would win an oscar.
But... I doubt it.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Not even close to the most awesome thing in this movie.

 

[massoluk]

Let's not get too ahead of yourself there... If The Dark Knight got snubbed, Fast and Furious franchise will never get a shot at Best Picture.

Can I just say this man is so... so... so FUCKING pretty?

Also, no. It won't win. Sorry Vinnie, I love you more than my luggage, but that will probably never happen.

You as a talking tree on the other hand, we might have something for you there.

 

[jett]

He feelin' himself too much.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Remember that Jurrassic World vs Avengers vs Star Wars BO thread?


Guess who's actually gonna get third on that?

Furious 7 dat who.

 

[plasmawave]

It don't matter if you're nominated for Oscars or not.

Winning is winning.

 

[T.O.P]

*NA

Fast 5 got 6th place in 2011 grossing $210M
Fast 6 got 9th place in 2013 grossing $250M


With all the talk this one is getting i'm seeing it doing insanely well, they're gonna break $300M easily this time around, especially after Paul's tragedy (sounds awful but it is what it is unfortunately)

 

[Cow Mengde]

It'll be funny if they end up getting some Razzies.

 

[BTM]

Fucking lol

 

[Odrion]

I don't understand why you posted images of four bad movies and then a great one.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It'll be funny if they end up getting some Razzies.

Would never happen because Furious 7 is going to end up the best action film of the year.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Oh please that movie is pure fanboy tripe.

 

[Discotheque]

For like a month and a half until fury road is out

These films are usually the best blockbusters of the year but I have a feeling this is just gonna be the appetizer for me this time, the cinematography and stunts in that look bananas

 

[biggersmaller]

None of the films were direct to DVD and this is Universal's highest grossing franchise.

Plus, unlike Transformers, Battleship, GI Joe - you know the brainless summer movie you're waking into is actually entertaining (for the most part).

 

[TheKaeptain]

They're 1 and 2.

 

[Foggy]

Mad Max

 

[TWrecks310]

Even if this was the best movie of the year, it's not going to win best picture, sorry Vin.

Ridiculously hyped for this movie though.

Best year for action movies in a long time. Kingsman, Furious 7, Mad Max, Avengers, MI, Star Wars, and more!

 

[Elwood Blues]

I'll have what he's having. This movie would never even get nominated in a million years.

 

[LeleSocho]

I don't understand why you posted images of four bad movies and then a great one.

 

[BigJonsson]

I am Groot

 

[Dilly]

It's like some of you are still stuck in 2004. The Fast and Furious series has become a hit at the BO and well liked by reviewers and audience.

Razzies? Get out of here.

 

[Riposte]

Isn't this movie competing with bigger movies this year in terms of box office? Avengers, Star Wars, etc.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

They're 1 and 2.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA.

WAIT.

Are you saying Mad Max isn't as good as Furious 7?

 

[JBourne]

His enthusiasm makes me want to see this, despite not having watched anything in the series since 2.

Vin is the man.

 

[T.O.P]

His enthusiasm makes me want to see this, despite not having watched anything in the series since 2.

Vin is the man.

Forget 2 and try to watch the others, Tokyo, Five and Fast 6 are damn fantastic action movies

 

[A Human Becoming]

A man is allowed to dream

Can't hate a man for dreaming big.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA.

WAIT.

Are you saying Mad Max isn't as good as Furious 7?

Furious 7 is legit the best action film I have seen since T2. Haven't seen the final cut of Mad Max but what I saw was really good.



Furious 7 is the perfect action flick though. Not a second is wasted in the film.

 

[Reversed]

You know, Vin, we really are the Fast of us.

 

[jond76]

I believe, Vin! I think y'all forget who's bringing the gravitas in this one: My man Kurt Russell.

Really though, I'd be cool to see, but the chances are slim. That's no fault of Furious 7, it's just that the Oscars aren't that fun.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Furious 7 is the perfect action flick though. Not a second is wasted in the film.

I exercise the right to maintain this thin veneer of skepticism in regards to the idea that Mad Max can't top Furious 7.

Not that I don't think Furious 7 won't be fun as shit, but man...

How awesome is the climax???

Does it top furious 6?

 

[Odrion]

If you're using Paint, you need to save the file as a PNG to avoid compression.

 

[Brakke]

You know, Vin, we really are the Fast of us.

You flubbed the landing. "We really are the fast and furioUS."

Try harder next time.

 

[Toparaman]

I hope it happens, and I've never even seen one of these fucking films. Would be funny.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Well I mean if American Sniper got nominated then I guess you got a shot.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Be patient, Vin. In several decades from now, when your career is long dead you will get an opportunity to make a comeback in a critical darling of a film that will net you all of the Oscars.
