You're mistaking "visually rich" for "eye candy." Fury Road is visually rich. It has a strong, consistent color palette. It has amazing framing and composition. The shots are well timed and wonderfully paced. The acting is great, the story is tight and unfolds well, and it's an overall very strong film. It's not a soulless, fluff piece. The movie got a 97% on rotten tomatoes. People who went to film school, to learn how film is made and what makes for good movies (i.e. people who know more about film than you or I) almost unanimously agree that this movie has strong merit. So, while critiquing movies might be subjective, I'd suggest you re-evaluate your criteria.
