Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun, so I will definitely be going to watch it when it hits cinemas. But I am probably going to avoid any more teasers or trailers from here on out. They already showed a bit too much with this one IMO.

The issue is this film is only coming out in August, IIRC. If they've already revealed this much now, they are already running the risk of revealing way too much before the movie drops. Because there will be more trailers, TV spots etc. And they won't want to keep showing the same footage over and over. Which means even more will likely be revealed before the actual release of the film. So, yeah, probably a good idea to try and steer away from any more trailers and such for this one. I mean I have already seen enough to know I am going to watch it, so don't actually need to see more.

This, right here. These movies are meant to be completely ridiculous and over the top, and they know exactly what they are. People watch them for the insane, often physics-defying action spectacles they provide. Not because they're expecting an Oscar script. And it's working for them. Both the last two F&F films broke a billion, and I wouldn't be surprised if this does as well.

Yeah, you could still argue that the first four were somewhat grounded (though they were already pushing believability with some of the stunts even then), but that went out the window in Fast Five, when they were having high speed chases down busy freeways while dragging a multi-ton safe behind them. And, from there, things just snowballed.

You now sound just like my old roommate lol. Dom just managed to get his hands on a wrench during van even fight that's all.
And besides, Vin ain't no pansy either. You'd know that if you paid attention to FF7 behind the scenes info

There is one problem. If this movie is commercially successful (which it most likely will be), it could actually hurt the rest of the F&F franchise. Because Statham and Johnson, and the characters they portray, draw a big chunk of the audience. So, if this works and they spin-off into their own thing, separate from the rest of the F&F crew, it will likely have a negative impact on those other films. I don't think Diesel draws that big of an audience on his own anymore, and none of the others really have that same level of star power either.

First thing I ever seen him in was as Stringer Bell in The Wire and remember being shocked when I found out he wasn't American. It's still his best role to this day. Although he's excellent in Luther as well.
