the green screen and the cgi was completely ridiculously and cheesy that at times it come across as piss taking and laughable that even the original star wars was done better than this and that was 40yrs ago didnt care about the characters, and scene of where they more interested in to much crash bang silly ridiculous over the top action and violence,

I do think complaining that a film like Mad Max went over the top is like complaning a slasher film has too many stabbings. The entire purpose of the film was to create a spectacle and it succeeded. I also felt that the character development was actually pretty good as it told you what you needed to know without the need for stopping the action for long monologues.
I agree with keirarts about this, because I saw Mad Max: Fury Road earlier this week and it was everything I wanted it to be, and more. The choreography of everything to do with the vehicle chases was extraordinary, the design of the vehicles to the carnage which unfolded and the men bouncing from side to side on long poles. The characters were better developed than I expected, as was the acting, and overall for the visual storytelling was clever and spectacular.
