Why so much hype?

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Yes, we all miss the V10/V8 era. I personally thought the V8 era was the best it'd been.F1 is still great and worth watching. The V6 engines are getting better. I'm honestly starting to like them. Maybe not to the level of the V8s or V10s, but they are durable. They sound good for what they are and the racing is still good, so what's the complaint?
