I've been a fan of the Fast & Furious movies since the first installment, and Paul Walker's death hit me particularly hard. Still, I thought I'd be able to keep it together during Furious 7, and I did — until the end. The closing scene is such a touching tribute that I had to sit and cry in my seat for a while. When I finally got up, an old man patted me on the back and said, "It was a sad movie, huh?" I just kept weeping so hard that my boyfriend had to herd me away from the crowd because I was was making people uncomfortable.

This movie is every bit of wild, action-packed fun as its predecessors, but it’s hard not to watch it while thinking about Paul Walker. In the final scene where he and Vin Diesel drive off in different directions as “See You Again” plays, it may or may not have felt like The Rock was punching me directly in the heart.
