I don't really mind...

Maybe I'm the only one, but I wasn't enamored by his take on Max. Fury Road is an absolutely fantastic movie and is easily in my top-10 right now, but I credit that much more to George Miller, Charlize, and Nicholas Hoult. Max seemed like almost an afterthought.

I think I need to watch Fury Road again, because seriously, I didn’t like it. Too cliché, too predictable.

The action is just so amazing, as well as the works building. You're right that is relatively predictable, but it's not it's intention to be unpredictable, just a very cool action movie

I'm not a huge Mad Max fan, but I didn't predict anything in that film. Especially character design. Between the cars, the War Boys, and all 3 of the villains I was surprised each time.

A suggestion, since you don't like the plot:

It is a visually stunning movie, try watching it just for the cinematography. IMO... every frame could be a photograph. Here - I'll grab one, totally random. You can do this close to anywhere in the movie, take a frame - hang it on a wall:

Bonus... I could seriously do this all day and come up with amazing shots: https://i.imgur.com/gmhfZ7k.png
