As a 2nd unit director's showcase, the action is over-the-top, intense, and a thrilling ride. As a film with interesting characters and situations and plotlines, it's fairly bare and ho-hum. It tries to overwhelm the viewers' senses with the amazingly shot and well-executed action pieces to blur the average and simple core story. You do get your money's worth on the action sequences alone, but I wanted to feel engaged more into the characters' plights. It's a wide berth of characters, so it feels thin in developing them, and Max (Tom Hardy) is also riding in the side cart for most of the film, while Furiosa (Charlize Theron) does more of the plot propulsion.
I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B, mostly for the crazy action scenes.
