I definitely felt like Fury Road was overrated. I think a big reason people loved it was because for one, we get a lot of horribly done action movies so seeing one that is decent can make you think it's amazing, and it got a lot of attention for having a good female lead (which is another thing action movies often lack.)

I didn't have any major complaints but I didn't really like it either.

Yeah, OP here and I feel like that. I think it's like, from all the hype I expected a great action movie, and got instead a decent action movie with a lead who happened to be female. And you know, that's great in itself, I think it sets a nice precedent for Western action movies (I've watched a lot of martial arts stuff that has female leads, so not so novel exactly), but 'this sets a good meta precedent' does not to me make the movie itself any better.

Frankly I think it makes a better talking point / jumping off point for discussion than it does an action movie.

SA Yeah I think the fact that people were raving about it made me go into it with a more critical eye, as opposed to if I had no to low expectations. I might have felt differently (or in the very least more people said "it's good for what it is.")

Like there are a few completely subjective reasons it didn't click with me, but I have a few fairly objective complaints as well. There are definitely things I appreciated about it- Furiosa and the practical effects being two big ones, but I was expecting a lot more then I got.
