This gives credence to my mental canon that Fury Road wasn’t that really well liked and just a product of an extremely heavy campaign by a very small minority of people that liked it. If not, why not come for what could be considered the sequel?
At least for me, Fury Road was the first and last Mad Max film I’ll see.
I love Fury Road. It’s a spectacular film. This “sequel” just looks bad. You can tell it’s green screened, when the on destination actual vehicles is so much of why Fury Road was great. The acting and writing seem bad. And that’s just from the trailer that’s supposed to make you want to watch it.
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.
