That's what happened to me. On this forum, fans of this film were making pronouncements such as "masterpiece", "greatest thing I've ever seen", "I can hardly contain myself", etc. etc. That's what convinced me to go to the theater to see it. My reaction was "well, it was ok, but 'greatest'...

Good. Then it'll be obvious that what you say is not to be taken seriously. :)

My eyes saw a color palette and a thinness of characters that were very much not differentiated from the benign output of the Hollywood Machine. That doesn't make my eyes wrong and yours right. I thought Miller did a much poorer job of making me care about these characters than in The Road...

The funny thing is that little plot, thin characters, and teal/orange palette are in utter lockstep with the current Hollywood action paradigm, yet Miller is somehow a wonderfully individualistic filmmaker.

Miller is just parroting current Hollywood chromatic fashion. There is nothing inherently teal about a desert sky...

Problem is, cinematographers have decided that orange and teal is a "perfect" look for what seems like every goddamn film. http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html

The skies looked more like teal to me. IOW, the same teal and orange look that Hollywood has been infatuated with for what seems like ages. I wish it would stop.

I thought it was ok. Yes, there were some impressive action scenes, but the movie didn't really try very hard to make me care about the characters, especially Max.

Sigh...will the obsession with the teal/orange look EVER stop??? So very dull.....

It's very unlikely to me that it could top The Road Warrior, but it's a great looking trailer. More sex appeal too.
