Well James Wan not exactly the "can go no wrong" type of director. His FnF just repeating what Justin Lin did before him. Not a fan of his horror movies either. Too mainstream. He has yet to reach that top shelf film director for my nitpicky taste but again hope there is more than what the trailer shows.
Not tryin to start arguement or stuff. Just voicin my opinionJustin Lin tried revamping FnF franchise with Tokyo Drift which is largely disliked by regular moviegoers besides racing purists. Again, he attempted infusing heist, mafioso with FnF4 which still didnt click at BO
It was F5's "family reunion", Rock's Hobbs & final vault heist which gave the series a reboot of sort.
With FnF6, Justin Lin (with due respect) faithfully sticked to his success formula, only adding team to antagonist Owen Shaw as with Dominic Toretto. Besides that, for me it was largely a formulaic, template made product
With F7 however, James Wan gave the series a rather dark, gritty & raw feel something you never see in Justin Lin's previous 2 films which was light-weight & sometimes downright cartoonish (FnF6's airport sequence for instance)
Wan introduced badass characters into the series, Deckard Shaw, Mr. Nobody, Ramsey along with the so-called God's eye concept that feels James Bond, Mission Impossible, Bourne series inspiration
He clearly gave the series a different route, which was followed even in FnF8
