Furious 7 is so entertaining that you don't notice Dwayne Johnson is missing from action much of the time, only that he kills it when he shows up.Read full review4.6
Drew McWeeny | HitFix
Plot is unimportant. Family is everything, and Furious 7 is a blast.Read full review4.5
Stephanie Zacharek | Village Voice
For all the full-throttle dazzle of Furious 7, the best scenes are the quietest ones, in which these characters make observations about love, life, and family that would seem overcooked in any other movie.Read full review4.4
Peter Travers | Rolling Stone
Furious 7 is the best F&F by far, two hours of pure pow fueled by dedication and passionate heart.Read full review4.2
Jesse Hassenger | The A.V. Club
The series will doubtless continue on with Diesel, Rodriguez, Johnson, and the rest, but in the meantime, Furious 7 comes to the most conclusive and emotionally satisfying ending since, fittingly, the very first film.Read full review4.0

Wan has fashioned a nitro-fuelled thrill-ride that forms a fitting tribute to its blue-eyed bro.Read full review4.0

A group more bulletproof than The Avengers, causing more mayhem than General Zod. Think Universal doesn’t have a superhero franchise? Think again.Read full review4.0

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.Read full review4.0
Alonso Duralde | TheWrap
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.Read full review3.8
Steve Macfarlane | Slant Magazine
The film lays bare that the franchise's most radical asset is also its most conservative: an overriding emphasis on, above all else, the on-screen family.Read full review3.5
Scott Foundas | Variety
Furious 7 provides both a satisfying chapter in the movies’ preeminent gearhead soap opera and a tactful, touching memorial to Walker.Read full review3.5
Fionnuala Halligan | Screen International
It’s joyous, it’s crazy – cars skydive out of aircraft in Azerbaijan, no less - it’s exhaustively long, and, still, it’s clunkily lovable.Read full review3.5
A.O. Scott | The New York Times
There will no doubt be better movies released in 2015, but Furious 7 is an early favorite to win the prize for most picture.Read full review3.5
David Edelstein | New York Magazine (Vulture)
Furious 7 kicks the biggest and hardest, but it’s far from the best. Lin has handed the keys to James Wan, the cunning horror director of "Saw" and "The Conjuring," and though the thrill isn’t gone, the finesse is.Read full review3.4
Marc Savlov | Austin Chronicle
Furious 7 is, to put it succinctly, a rush and a half.Read full review3.2
Jen Chaney | Washington Post
Yes, the whole movie feels overstuffed and overlong, and the non-action scenes are often dragged down by stilted dialogue. But Furious 7 buzzes with a frenetic energy so contagious, there’s no sense in resisting it.Read full review

Robbie Collin | The Telegraph
I’ve always enjoyed the idea of the Fast & Furious films more than their execution, but this feels like the series’ strongest, even though some of its action sequences are so muddled they can barely walk straight.Read full review3.0
Catherine Shoard | The Guardian
There’s something about the franchise’s earnest investment in its characters that’s quite unique. Its longevity is because it functions as much as a soap as an action flick.Read full review3.0
John DeFore | The Hollywood Reporter
A film that (whatever massive efforts were required to work around [Paul Walker's] absence) is as stupendously stupid and stupidly diverting as it could have hoped to be had everything gone as planned.Read full review3.0
Tom Huddleston | Time Out London
The sheer sense of ludicrous, punch-the-air joie de vivre is impossibly infectious.Read full review3.0
Joe Morgenstern | Wall Street Journal
In the wake of Walker’s death, it constitutes a farewell of fitting elegance.Read full review3.0

While it can feel, at times, a little too scattered (often in terms of plot), this is a praiseworthy venture. Its a film that knows its audience well enough to give them exactly what they demand and deserve after more than a decade of dedication.Read full review2.9
Charlie Schmidlin | The Playlist
Cacophonous, gratuitous, and peppered with absolutely outstanding action sequences, Furious 7 finds the franchise at an unwanted crossroads, but it makes such a play for the diehard fans that it leaves everyone else at somewhat of a loss.Read full review2.5
Sara Stewart | New York Post
Despite James Wan’s capable direction and very game cast, the whole thing goes increasingly wobbly like a bad axle, until it’s just a tangle of metal and bullets and yelling.Read full review1.3
Mick LaSalle | San Francisco Chronicle
The action comes so fast and furious in Furious 7 that, for all the explosions and overturned cars and missiles fired on downtown Los Angeles, it becomes a dull muddle. Here and there, we get the imaginative and outrageous stunts this series is famous for, but mostly the movie plods along, muscling through without much life or spirit.Read full review
