Disappointment. Don't understand the hype

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2015)

This feels like a Rob Zombie movie.
This movie has been praised everyone of what a cinematic masterpiece it is. I was told that the story, characters, and pacing was great.
When the title exploded into flames I started having doubts. Then I saw the guy playing guitar on a flaming rig.
The movie tries to be gritty but silly at the same time. It's too silly to be taken seriously, and too gritty to be fun.
There is little dialog and character interaction, mostly it's a big long chase. To me action gets old very quickly, especially when it's the same thing over and over again. Spoiler: guys on vehicles shoot at each other, people fall off, cars crash.
Mad max is a minor character. Furiosa just isn't that interesting. Nux is the only person with a real story. He's the only one with anything going on other than fleeing or fighting. No one else really changes.
Would be an okay renter where you can pause and do something interesting, then come back to it. In the theater don't feel bad for having to get up to pee, you won't miss anything.
