I saw it at the theaters. I liked it, but I don't get all the great press it received. It won 6 Oscars and was nominated for 3 more.

Not sure about great, but it was a lot better than the trash that hollywood had been putting out lately.

I'm not saying it was terrible, just that people who liked it are blind and retarded, and fail at life. That's all.

Maybe it's the silver spray paint I've been huffing?

It was a big let down IMO.  Doubt I'll ever watch it again.  I loved the Mel Gibson stuff.

It's probably in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.  If it's not your thing, that's fine.  But if you actually pay attention and watch it repeatedly, you'll see that it is immaculately directed and filmed.  Every scene and line is meant to be there, and serves a purpose.  Important things are introduced before they are used again.  The action scenes are staged wonderfully, and you can actually tell what is going on and what caused what to happen.  The attention to detail is amazing.  Every character, even the small ones, have their own story, attitude, and personality.  It's not for everyone, but I loved it.  It's one of those few movies that I've studied end-to-end.

Yup. It's not like it had a great plot (and I didn't expect it to). But it was a very enjoyable watch in the theater. I watched once in 3D, and once in 2D. And it was just on TV a week or two ago and I watched the whole thing (even tolerating commercials). I liked it.

Every thing you said is spot on .... it will also be largely ignored or derided as hippy crap.

I've discovered that there are precious few students of film on this site. Most people are content to watch people in uniform blow shit up. Anything deeper than that and I think they get headaches, or something.

As an addition to the Max Max & The Road Warrior timeline (I didn't like Thunderdome), it was an abject failure.

As a stand-alone action movie, it was even worse.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I don't think it's in my top 5 of all time, but I agree with everything else in both your posts. There are some groundbreaking films I'd have to rate above it on an all time list. But it is extremely entertaining and as Tick pointed out it's immaculately crafted. Very fun and interesting viewing.

it was a very long back story and introduction to Max. He was not, however, the star of this movie. Hopefully he will be in the next one.

Some amazing visuals, sure. But I don't think I could tell you what the movie was about...

And if gas is so scarce, why do they travel around in massive convoys of 4-story-tall battle wagons?

I went with 3 buddies and we had to suppress laughter constantly to avoid missing dialogue. The whole movie was filled with escalations of absurdity. I just about fell on the floor when the huffers started swinging on the poles and then dying off, just hanging there as the action continued. I didn't think what had happened previously could be topped.

I think 90% of modern movies are total crap.

But I thought Fury Road was fantastic. Exactly what a summer blockbuster should be.

On the big screen is how it was meant to be watched.

I'll revisit it as I watched it hung over as sin on a trip to my buddies house out of town while trying to choke down a bloody mary or two.  Absurd is a great descriptor.

It was better the second time.  That said, I doubt I'd watch it again if I have the choice.

Feminist power trip of a movie associated with "Mad Max." 

Decent visuals , hopefully they actually have Max in more than 5% of the next one.

That said I've watched it a few times, so that makes it better than most of the Hollywood crap these days.
