I liked it but not the best movie I have seen in 20 years. But I liked it.

Won't say that, but watched last night for the first time and it was great.

I really enjoyed it, after expecting not to like it because of the feminist elements.

However, the blood transfusion scene was absurd. Surely, they could have thought of something better than that.

Watched it tonight for the first time since seeing it opening night. It's a solid action movie. Eccentric as u can get, which means they really put some thought into development. U gotta appreciate that

It's a very fine action movie and a bit bizarre, yes, but still good. I saw it in theaters and it is still not on as good as The Road Warrior, which is as good as an action movie gets. Road Warrior essentially invented an entire genre and style, the whole dystopian, biker, hot rod, desert, post apocalyptic style comes that one movie. Mel Gibson was a better Max of course and he was actually the main character, unlike Fury Road, I still don't understand why he was even in the movie? I think Hardy was super pissed at George Miller during filming because he had the exact same thoughts...why am I even here?

Just watched it on HBO. It was decent but was expecting more. I guess that just goes to show how bored I am with post-apocalyptic action movies, or really action movies period. It wasn't even the third best movie I watched today.

The absolute perfect action film. Incredibly epic and emotional score, beautiful cinematography, and pure fun non-stop action.

People who watched this movie wanting character development and some Nolan-esque plot are foolish.

I was really disappointed. Maybe it's because I saw so many good reviews.

Action was very well done, but there was practically zero story.

And, despite the action being well done, it was incredibly redundant. Like a great roller coaster done several times in succession.
