The movie *for me* was so bad, I went with a mate to watch it, as we were walking out, I didn't say anything, just waited to see what he would say. The first words were *fuck that was a load of shit*
He's a massive car guy too - we both said as you did, the cars were great (especially knowing that everything worked ie twin engines / blowers blah blah), however the movie was just one long action scene of CGI overload. They tried so hard to put so much in it that they just forgot to actually put in a plot (again IMO).
The original was great, you got to know Max, his family and then started to feel his pain and were rooting for him to seek revenge on the bikers.
Like I said, I wish I felt the same way about this movie, I was extremely excited about it and it took so many years, almost didn't come to fruition and then this 
Anyways the BTS sound really good, did some reading and sounds like it is better than the movie itself.  |
The car stuff was practical...except for the fire tornado of course. Where was the one long scene of CGI overload?
Why does a movie need some complicated plot to be interesting? There was a very definitive narrative, albeit a simple and straightforward one. This movie can have the sound turned all the way down and anyone could follow it. That's not a bad thing when it comes to something designed to be a visual medium.
Full Metal Jacket has less of a plot than Fury Road, but it's regarded as one of the great movies of all time. Same with Apocalypse Now and many other "classics". Saying something doesn't have enough story is weak criticism.
