As already noted this film is more about the action than its story. Yet, it does have a story. A simple one. But what drew me in was a review that nearly waxed poetical about the almost martial dance-like quality to this piece.I must say that it is worth a little extra coin to see the 3D version of this. Some excellent effects. There were a couple of crash sequences where flying parts appeared to fly into my face. Pretty good stuff that way.
I could also comment that this film did manage to get us to care about our protagonists and their friends.
Excellent action choreography. That is the best I can say about it.

At some point it has occurred to me that inspiration for some of the grotesque vehicular creations may have come from Ed (big daddy) Roth.
chief bad guy. Does he look like a pervert to you? Does me.
Above: 2 '59 Cadillacs are cannibalized to produce this. The Chief bad guy's ride. All I could think of is that there are now two less 59 Caddies in the world.It was this big...
Furiosa's Rig:
alternate movie title: Furiosa's Run for Freedom. But then I thought; Fury Road kinda says that.
Furiosa.
The actress as cheese cake.
The two most interesting rigs. Both constructed as "monster trucks". The rig on the right gets my vote for "coolest rig". The double Cadillac rig on the left is a real eye catcher, and seems to fit with the ego of the villain who drives it.
This actor has been getting work in Hollywood for the last 10 years or so. IIRC he played an Orc Army commander in the last Hobbit movie. I seem to recall him in that movie "Troy" with Brad Pitt. He was in the beginnings of the movie where a challenge is made to decide the battle with one single combat. Achiles versus this guy. Achiles dispatched him with one well executed stroke of his sword.
Other movies I'm sure. Muscles everywhere. One might imagine he's even got muscles in his brains. But I suspect he's been getting some pretty good paydays lately. Good for him. Movie bad guys deserve to make money too.By now I should have maxed out the site bandwidth limit..

Pretty much agree. I will refrain from calling it a crashing bore.
