Fast and Furious 7: Is it enough yet?


The popular franchise films Fast and Furious just released the latest installment this summer.  As the credits finished the audience was introduced to another teaser scene for the next film. With just enough enticement for the audience it looks as if there will be a seventh film added to the franchise. This film will introduce actor Jason Statham as the villain. Not much was revealed of his character but Statham interviewed with totalfilm.com about this new role.  Statham briefly discusses his excitement for this film and for the impending Expendables 3 film.  The two projects will be filmed back to back.
            Statham is known for action packed films and should fit in nicely with the Fast and Furious formula for their films. The franchise made a successful turn around with the films content in the last two films. Is the story line going to continue to succeed or is this franchise pushing the limits? The films are becoming more action packed blockbusters that are competing with the surge of super hero films that are flooded the theaters. Is it safe to say enough is enough and the story of fast cars and guns has more than taken care in the past six films?
            After watching the Fast and Furious 6  I was interested in the plot of the film but it did not create the sense of excitement and intensity like past films have.  The film was a nice ending for the franchise. If it was an ending. The films conclude what happens with the crew and where their lives stand. It was a nice ending to have after following the franchise films for many years. As a fan I was happy with the ending and ready to part ways with the films. It does not look like this is what Hollywood has in mind. I would go revisit the films and decide for yourself if this next film is truly needed?
