Movie Review - MAD MAX FURY ROAD

5/17/2015

Honestly I have no idea how this is part of the Mad Max franchise. Max isn't very mad, in fact he seems a little insane and a lot complacent. The plot to this movie can be described with one line in the movie, "And all this for a family squabble." Yup, that sums it up.

I wanted to like this movie. BEYOND THUNDERDOME was terrible but also awesome, this one, this one just fell a little flat. While the action scenes were very interesting, I questioned how many times I really needed to watch a car being blown up. That sums up the action, cars getting blown up left and right. The best fight scene in the movie is very early on between Max, the guy he has been chained to, and the leading lady, Furiosa. After that the movie was fun to watch, but it didn't really say anything.

Max said maybe 20 words throughout the entire movie and from my standpoint he could have been a background character. I would have liked a little more background on the story of this version of the future. For example how did this one guy get to be a warlord controlling all the water and fresh green produce? Why are their pale children running around and what is the history behind the handicaps and blood transfusions that they are getting? Also what the heck was up with all the silver mouth spray paint?

A lot of this movie could have been better than it was. A lot of this movie could have had a lot more Mad Max. I can't say see it, but I can't say don't see it. It isn't for me to say what you out there in internet land might like. Personally I didn't like the weird little girl hallucinations that weren't explained because they weren't his murdered child from the very first movie THE ROAD WARRIOR.
