Fast and Furious 7: Launch Trailer Released
To get fans ready for the upcoming trailer release for Fast & Furious 7, Universal has released The Road To Furious 7, which they have labeled as a launch trailer. Why have a launch trailer? Why not release the trailer already? What is a launch trailer anyways? It’s basically a trailer of footage from the previous Fast & Furious movies with a tease for Furious 7.

Former owner of a comic book store, podcaster dedicated to the geek lifestyle which includes but is not limited to comic books, comic book movies and all the rest. But, I just couldn’t get into the movie. In fact, each of the 3 times I tried to watch this movie, I fell asleep, one of these times was actually in the theater! I just found the whole thing long and drawn out. A lot of superheroes talking, and talking and talking then BAM, here is the big action sequence, they destroy the entire city and everyone thinks they are great! YAY! Snore……
