Yes, it's a classic.
It's a classic because it delivered us a great, identifiable action hero in Mel G. It delivered us an iconic vehicle in the form of the Ford Falcon. It delivered a stylishly memorable revenge scenario in the form of JtB cuffed to the car. It also delivered a few memorable characters and a pair of (for the time) great chase sequences.
However, given the budget and the experience of the cast and crew, there are a few amateurish edges to it. Yes, there are flaws in the film's pacing that could be attributed to the director.
While it's not badly directed, it is far from a technical tour de force. It just so happens that it's strengths totally overshadow it's weaknesses.
Just my opinion, keyboard Rambos. -

The score is totally mistake for this film this is a revenge film but score is from 80's cheesey dramas
Are you talking about the scenes with his wife? The score is supposed to sound like a cheesy drama, because it's supposed to set the peaceful, happy mood before the beep hits the fan. The score in general is one of the best things about this movie. I bet you would also hate on "2001: A Space Odyssey"'s score for being too dramatic. -

I've just seen the movie for the first time as well. And considering it's been over 35 years from its release date, and that it had an estimated budget of $650,000, I honestly think they did a terrific job with this movie.

I see your point, but on the other hand it's late 70s, and two years earlier John Williams composed that fantastic score that is the Star Wars score. I think the problem was that they couldn't afford a good composer, let's remember that this film had quite limited funds

People blindly praise this movie more out of nostalgia and the influence it had on other films than for the actual film itself.
I mean, it's a very sloppy movie. It has no real plot or theme until the third act. It meanders along from scene to scene without much focus on any one character or idea. All we know is that it's kind of the end of the word, there are gangs and cops and they're fighting. Hell, for the first act Max can't even be called the protagonist. Goose had more focus than Max. So it baffles me that certain fans love to rip on Fury Road for not being about Max when he wasn't the clear protagonist since his first film.
The whole revenge aspect of the movie is a 20 minute ordeal. It's not given much time to have any impact. It just happens and then Max is killing people. And the revenge itself is pretty lackluster too. All he does is run some people off the road, really.
Where the film excels is the action. And that's it.
The sequels are leagues better. And yes, that included Thunderdome.
