Hm, I don't get the lower ratings. This is a solid 7 for me - maybe even a 7.5/10. It doesn't feel really different from the other FF movies for me (or rather they kept changing over time and this just continues that change).
Is it realistic? No (the physics are completely off) Does the story make much sense? No Should this be surprising and was that different in the past? No
IMO the FF franchise was always about cars, action, and hot girls (plus comedy, music, and family). The focus changed more towards action and entertainment/comedy but the overall concept didn't really change.
Anyway, let's get to it. Physically, it makes absolutely no sense, as always (the magnets would generate a counter force, car physics aren't that crazy, Dom's ridiculous "too soon", etc.). The scenery is nice. Dom has a brother. Mia is back <3 And Brian is still mentioned <3 Taking care of their kids :) There are two second cars now :D Han is back! <3 I always hoped for it but didn't expect it anymore... His death was never for certain so I'm glad this is finally resolved :) And I'm especially happy that Han got to tell his story / explained what happened <3 Elle is super cool, I'm glad that Han still cares about people. And he's even reunited with Sean (I only recognized Sean for sure at the end though). Mia got some action scenes and was driving for a bit <3
And last but not least: Some fun lines:
"We come in peace."
"How in the hell are you not dead?"
Ramsey: "I don't drive."
"Yoda's a puppet with someone's hand up his ass." (that diss was unexpected)
"He's on the way." <3 And then Brian pulls up in his GT-R :)

Shaw and Han(?) at the end got me confused.
