…It was so uncomfortably boring because there was nothing but pregnant girls and silly car wrecks in it.
…Noise, noise, noise.
Nothing but crash, boom, bang.

No acting to speak of.
The CGI was cheaply done.
…The dialogue was primarily grunting.
Complaint:Fury Roadhas no story!
Counter: Oh,Fury Roadis loaded with story.
But every character inFury Roaddoes have an arc albeit thinly drawn and each is largely communicated through nonverbal cues.
Its actually pretty ironic:Fury Roadis a film that appears empty of substance a car crash movie!
and yet its stuffed with subtlety.
More than one critic describedFury Roadas a rock opera, and thats precisely correct.
Complaint: The hero is a secondary character!
Counter:Id say Max (played by Tom Hardy) is a co-lead.
Plenty of films have shown indefatigable warrior women kicking butt in spectacular (yet dull) ways.
Furiosa (Charlize Theron) wascrediblenot justincredible.
Complaint: Its one action scene after another!
Counter:Its hand-crafted action.
What you saw in the film is largely what was happening in front of the camera.
See:
Complaint: Okay, so they did the stunts for real, so what?
Its still just a bunch of action!
Counter:Action that is also meticulously designed, shot and edited.
In other words, comprehensible.
[The editor] attributes this to property planned shots and diligent editing.'
Complaint: Its not Serious and Important.
Counter:What is Serious and Important anyway?
