TFA and Avatar have decent stories they're just very derivative (one of A New Hope the other of Pocahontas/Dances With Wolves).
Avengers, Jurassic World are a tier below. Furious 7 is just plain crap (lol ... I like the franchise but it's true, but I guess what can you do with a seventh movie about driving cars).
The 80s and 90s had better blockbusters, what the modern day has is safer blockbusters. They don't take as many story risks and have a more consistent quality to them.
The Force Awakens just proves how huge Star Wars is though, it's just a decent Star Wars film without a lot of the mind numbing stupidity/poor acting of the Lucas prequels. And that's all it had to do to earn basically $2 billion WW and completely demolish the domestic record in under a month.

It's only huge because they spent a crazy amount of money marketing it and there hasn't been a SW movies in a long time. You can bet that the other SW movies even if better (which I doubt since Disney has a formula that all their movies adhere to) will not make as much money as this one.
Ultimately, all the highest grossing movies are crap.

I'd have to agree largely with your assessment of those movies' quality, but SW:TFA is not crap.
JW was Michael Bay Park, F&F is...F&F, and Avatar is Ferngully 3D (not errible, but not great).
