I think I must be the only person who thought Fury Road was massively over-rated. It was (and I realize this is almost by design) just one two hour chase sequence. The effects, both practical and CGI, directing and implementation of the action in the film was fantastic, don't get me wrong. But there was so little actual story (I felt), barely any background given to any of the characters, and Max himself was almost an incidental side character. It felt a bit to me like Furiosa was actually the 'main' character, and mostly just showed up so the film didn't get accused of being a complete feminist trip.
