Unpopular opinion: I think most people who claim that Fury Road didn't have a story or enough characterization or character development to carry a movie missed fundamental parts of the movie. No one has to like the movie, taste is subjective after all, but claiming that the movie in completely void of these things is just not correct. Max and Furiosa both have complete story arcs and the supporting characters also have depelopment (e.g. Cheedo growing more confident and self-reliant).

I also think that the reason some people might not see those developments maybe the fact that the film relies a lot less on words that most other films we watch. From what I heard they worked mostly from story boards and didn't have much of a script for the movie. Therefore most of the development doesn't happen during dialogue or is verbalized at all, but instead conveyed through visuals and action. While that applies to all movies in a degree, I think it applies to Mad Max in a higher than average degree.

Far from being an unpopular opinion, "the movie is brilliant; you just watched it wrong" is probably the most popular opinion in fandom.

You are probably right. I was going mostly by the sentiments expressed in this threat though.

I was just watching the Emma Tompson Sense and Sensibility on tv today and remembering how hard I found it to follow the story the first time I saw it (having never read the book or seen another version) because there were brief, key bits of dialogue that set up things like why they had to leave their house or how each character was connected to the others and if those bits didn't sink in you'd be pretty lost. It's a good movie, but damn I felt confused the first time I saw it. I honestly didn't get that Harriet Walter's characher was Hugh Grant's character's sister for most of the movie.

Fury Road was like the opposite of that. I thought it was very easy to SEE who these characters were and how their world operated.

Personally I agree with you, I thought most of the things happening were obvious too. But I think, that most movies rely way more strongly on words to convey information than on visuals and some people simply might be more used to that, you know.
