I watched this last night. Thought it was so over the top, it was pretty good and I enjoyed it. Really bizarre though.

I was disappointed.

No unforgettable characters such as The Humungus, Wez and the Feral Kid with his boomerang from Mad Max 2. You see them all here:

And, of course, The Gyro Captain:

It did put me off a bit. I understand the setting, but Hardy's Max and other characters acted a bit too "feral," leaving you to relate to characters who hadn't totally lost their rocks (Theron and the other new characters). I still enjoyed it as a spectacle. I prefer Mad Max 1 and 2, but Fury Road was about as good or better than Thunderdome.

As much as this movie was acclaimed, I just didn't seem as much into it as I thought I would be. I don't know why, just one of those things.

I liked it initially when I saw it, but never really thought much about it after that.

I'm not sure I even want to see it again.

Hollywood is a big industry and when money is on the line they sure as hell won't say this "epic" movie is...meh. So the reviewers are in the tank like everybody else. Think about that when they review the next Star Wars debacle.
The movie looked over the top and the plot seemed lame and the characters two dimensional. Nowhere near as original as the first two. But I haven't seen it so my opinion doesn't matter a whole lot. But I didn't waste ten bucks seeing it.

I feel like they took that chase scenes out of Mad Max 2 and expanded them into one long movie.


Once they finally got past all the bad guys, I thought, great, maybe a story can develop. But, no, they turned around and just re-did the first half of the movie again!

Mad Max, JUNK, just like so many of Today's movie..........no thought put into the script.

I watched the movie Southpaw with Jake Gyllenhaal, YAWN, how many time can they rehash that tired old story of a downtrodden boxer.............ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Honestly, I really enjoyed the Mad Max.
I think action scenes of Mad Max are awesome. I have seen this movie three times.
