I’m sure you liked it, as I’m sure a bunch of people legitimately did.
What I’m saying is that I think most people saw Fury Road because of societal pressure due to a very small minority propping up the movie. I went to see it and found the movie to be an incredibly unsatisfying story about a FEDEX delivery that ended in the starting point. Useless.
I thought I was crazy reading so many people liked it, but now this gives support to my personal opinion.
The very simple structure was the point though. I get why some find that unappealing but in my view it's what makes the film great. It's like a band that writes a 2-chord balls to the wall punk song not because it's the best they can do, but because they want to explore that particular set of constraints.
