I get what you're saying, but I think it makes sense when you consider the current environment. People have always enjoyed gigantic muscular action movies. There weren't many good ones in the previous decade--there were ones like XXX (which you semi-imply is on the same level as F&F, which is not true). Mainstream action and adventure moved more and more towards that now-mocked "grittiness", tried to be cripplingly serious. The last ~2 entries in this franchise have realized that you don't have to be dour to be dramatically interesting, all while putting fantastic humongous action back on screens.
Lol! Never saw this trailer! Very accurate I must say.
They dropped real cars with parachutes out of a cargo plane.Five was still grounded in reality enough for it to be awesome. Yes they would have died from the canyon fall and theres no way for those cars to pull that safe but those exceptions needed to be made to make the scenes and beyond that it was grounded by physics. Fast six started to move away from that with stuff like the superman highway jump. The more they move into that direction the dumber and less engaging these movies become.
Edit: just read the non spoiler parts of the review linked above. It says most of the action is done with practical effects. If true stupid sky scraper jump aside that sounds promising.
Hehe, makes me think of this podcast : http://www.earwolf.com/episode/fast-five/
They talk about how much death and destruction they cause in this movie. It's hilarious.
Don't get rekt too hard now.

'Furious 7' might be the greatest movie I've ever seen
Not the BEST movie, mind you. But maybe the MOST movie.
The crew in Furious 7 would take out The Avengers
THE BUSTA BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE BASE!Committing crimes....a quarter mile at a time.
What if Amanda Waller showed up at the end credits of The Furious 7 while Dom is rotting in prison and offered him and his crew a place on a certain task force she was putting together...
TASK FORCE X
THE SUICIDE SQUAD 2: RIDE OR DIE.

Is this the end of the movie? How is Statham getting up from a Rock Bottom through a table?
