I think MMFR is one of the best-made bad movies ever... (Gaming)

Did the characters have personality? Yes, except for Max and Furiosa.

I will add my 0.02 here and say that I thought both these characters had a lot of personality. In some ways they are both the "strong, silent type" which doesn't leave for much in the way of speaking, but I thought they both conveyed a lot of emotions and inner turmoil with the expressions on their faces. I thought Furiosa occupied an interesting place due to the gender politics of their world. I also thought their decisions made sense in the context of the film. Max convinced Furiosa to turn around, and it all made sense to me--the timing, the way Max waited and thought about it before suggesting, how Furiosa was not a complete pushover about it, but eventually realized and agreed it was the right thing to do.

Also I wanted to add something unrelated to this forum's discussion. Last summer I remember overhearing multiple people complain about the movie saying, "They drove here and then they talked and then they drove back! Booorring!" and I thought that was a hilariously reductivist critique, one that could make anything sound boring if applied. Kind of the yada-yada-yada of movie reviews. "They yada-yada'd the best part!"
