^ Couldn't have put it better myself.

Watched the movie earlier tonight and goddamn, it definitely did not disappoint in the "no fucking way wtf how is that even happening" aspect. Hobb's one liners definitely deserve a honourable mention.

But those last few minutes hit way too hard. Tears were on the verge of falling out. The combination of the song, the tribute to the OG cars, Dom's words, and the cars splitting up was simply a perfect ending, while heartbreaking at the same time. You can tell it wasn't just a tribute to O'Connor and the family aspect, but a tribute to Paul Walker as a person. I was pretty speechless at the end of the movie and just sat there for a few minutes processing everything and gathering myself. The flashback scenes reminded me of back in early highschool when FnF marathons would air on MuchMusic on friday nights and I'd sit through all of them..oh man the memories. Never thought a FnF movie could make me feel this way. I thought the tribute at the beginning of Fast 6 was good, but this one just slammed everyone in the theatre with the feelz.

On a side note, while I was headed to the theatre, I drove behind a STI with the RIP Paul Walker decal on their rear window. Thought that was a cool little coincidence.
