Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Peabarter — 16 May 2015

I have been a fan of all 3 Mad Max movies and watched each of them several times over. However, I hated this movie and almost walked out half way through it for the following reasons.

1) There is no story and hardly any dialogue in this movie. There are few references to what Charlize Theron is trying to do and I understand why, but it is quickly forgotten and lost in the action.

2) I realized half way through the movie that I didn't care about a single character (even Max). There is very little character development other than displaying how each one shoots a gun or stabs at another character. They could have blown up the world and the bonus is the movie would have been over sooner.

3) The movie went to far over the top with deformed, ugly, degenerate human beings. They even cut all of Charlize's hair off and if that wasn't enough, let's amputate her left arm at the elbow. Lost opportunity for nice eye candy in the movie.

4) I got tired of looking at my watch every 30 minutes.

1 star for some decent action scenes which dominate the movie and become monotonous as they blur into each other.
