Cartoonish Stupidity

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2015)

It seemed like every time the action sequences threatened to get good they had to remind you just how silly and over-the-top this movie was required to be. I know they felt compelled to try and top the original Mad Max but I have to ask one questionÂ…. WHY??? I just don't understand why they felt it necessary to try and top it at every turn? Just keep telling the story and let this film stand on it's own merits. Why all the CGI chaos? Jamming in too many characters and adding camp and completely ridiculous action seems like they were overly desperate to make this reboot relevant. The entire plot and the actions of the leads were beyond absurd and I just don't find moronic and impossible plot turns or cartoon stunts fun to watch. I also found the character arcs to be shallow and even non-existent. I'm so disappointed. I thought I'd find a fun film worthy of the name. Instead, what I found was a waste of time and an insult to my active brain cells.
