How in the hell is this movie nominated for so many awards, it was awful! And I love action movies. The whole picture was them driving out to the middle of no where and then turning around and going back. No background story, no character development, not much of a plot.

Costume design or cinematography sure. But best picture? What a joke.

That's about the only thing that really grabbed me with the movie.

Visually it was very intriguing, and it had some intense action sequences. The rest of the movie had no substance.

The fact that this movie was nominated and Ex Machina was not is a joke.

Gave up at the first vehicle exodus when the guitar player on the roof came up. Too much BS for me.

The movie was bad, other than cinematography and the costume design.

Hexx event a fire plug could have played Tom's role in the movie and it would have been the same.

I kinda wished the film revolved around the dude playing the guitar

Watched it two weeks ago after all the praise. It was decently entertaining but award worthy?? (besides visuals)

You had to see it in theatres to appreciate the cinematic masterpiece

Movies are meant to be viewed in theaters. Sometimes you're not able to and that's fine. But it's especially the case with this movie.


The soundtrack, the visuals and what's going on with the characters with just their body language and when they're not talking, they're still acting their asses off. It's the best action movie of the last decade. The movie wasn't just going to spell out things for you with dialogue like most movies.


But this movie, initially loved and adored on TD, is bashed because it's the cool, new hip trend that happens so many times on here: TDK, TFA, Django Unchained, many of the Marvel movies, and so many more.

I understand the complaint that the story is extremely simple, but what precedent has the series set that you would expect so much more from it? Fury Road is basically the perfected vision on thr Mad Max world. The action scenes and design of everything visually was otherworldly. People also just love a post apocalyptic story that goes balls to the wall.

Most overrated movie I've seen in a while. Nothing special about it all. Just another post-apocalyptic action flick.

Action starts almost immediately. Balls to the wall. I enjoyed it UNTIL.... ridiculous ending. Really dreadful ending. Absolutely no way it would happen that way. those chicks would be sex slaves the second they got back up top.

Simply wasn't a real story. Road Warrior did it better without tacking on a fake totally unbelievable happy ending.
