Mindless entertainment is why Hollywood makes the crap they make, so keep eating it up.

The consensus means shit, pretty sure anyone can agree.
So a piece of art like Fury Road (made by one of the greatest living filmmakers) isn't really about anything....because you don't have the ability to look beyond the action. But what am I talking about? You didn't even watch it because you're too cool.

It's a movie that told it's story through action, not dialogue -- exactly the way movies did before they had the luxury of sound. So it's more pure cinema than you give it credit for. Characters yapping for two hours don't make a good movie.
