I finally saw this a few days ago and I hate to admit it but I ugly cried at the end: I knew what was coming but it hit me hard anyway. It was a perfect ending, to say farewell to Paul Walker and also to make the audience one with the movie.

Great film with an absolutely tear-jerking ending.

I saw this with a 13 year old kid who loved Paul Walker.  The final scenes made streams of tears run down his face, and fortunately, I knew what was coming so I had tissues at the ready.

As for the movie itself, it was very enjoyable.  Set piece after set piece, many nods to the previous movies, and just plain fun.  Brains are unnecessary and even an impediment to enjoying this movie, it's all about spectacle and emotion.  The ensemble of bad guys was just as fun as the good guys, with Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou and Tony Jaa.  Another one for the blu-ray collection.

I'd seen the Wiz Khalifa / Charlie Puth video a few times so I knew what was coming: even so, I cried - I cry silently usually - and then I later read a comment on the movie where someone wrote "You guys forgot to mention the significance of Paul's car being white: he was already an angel" and then I lost it.  Bluesad Bluesad

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
