The movie gave me the same feeling I get when I see selena(the movie). It's depressing knowing that one of the main actors isn't around and it casts a weird shadow over the whole movie. Anyways I got good at telling which one was the actual paul walker and which one was his brothers with CGI added on. For example, the funereal scene and the part where he's in the minivan is 100% paul walker. When the house blows up and the part where mia hugs him and the dark fight scenes are all not paul walker. The fight in dubai and the standing in front of the LA buildings are also CGI. The bus scene is grade A paul walker.
Anything that takes place at night or only shows the back of him and he keeps looking around is not the real paul as is the beach scene and of course the ending(that's the most obvious one). The scene where brian and mia have a phone conversation seems like it was cut from the 4th or 5th movie and mia was added in but it's the real paul walker.
Ok now that I got that out of the way, this movie feels like it was 3 movies coming together at once because of deckard shaw and that black guy with the blonde mustache and that cool bad guy that uses parkour moves a lot, kurt russel gets a nod too even though he's a good guy. The film was familar yet different just like the dark knight rises was to the dark night. Anyways what happened to don omar and his friend? they could come back in the sequels as could elena and possibly giselle.
I love how it brought things full circle with car wars and the end race was a nod to the 1st movie(no train this time though) which is incredibly depressing because it makes you realize that paul walker truly is dead. Of course he is loved as the whole beach scene doesn't seem like anyone is acting and instead the actors are speaking from their hearts. I look forward to fast 8 but things just wont be the same without paul walker's smiling mug
