Sublime action, terrific technical achievement, acting very good. I can see why it wasn't a hit - this is in hindsight. There's nothing at stake. We know Furiosa will live and can guess her friend will die. But Mad Max 2-4 were about saving a group of people. That's not done here.
The opening sequence is amazing because the stakes are so huge - trying to hide the nice community. But this is dropped for the rest of the film. The movie needed to be about protecting that.
Fantastic stuff here. But some stuff could've gone - like seeing how Chris Hemsworth (excellent) rose to power. Didn't need it.
