I actually really enjoyed it, but had more potential

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2016)

I saw this for the first time the other night, and whilst i have not seen the previous movies, which i probably should have done, i really did enjoy this and was able to understand the concept of Max losing his child and wife, and having that haunt him. I think the let down of this movie was a lack of character development...although i thought Nicholas Hoult was very well done. It seemed as though everyone in the movie was just doing what they had to do, to get to the end of the plot and finish the movie, without seeing any real change or big connection between them. the story was kinda simple but it was easy enough to follow and understand, and personally i feel that whilst the action, CGI, practical effects and soundtrack were great, if the story was deeper, the characters were more developed (apart from Max of course) and there was even more blood and grit to it like an R rated movie, than this would be perfect. all in all, i think the ratings for it are well over what they should be, but i believe that the reviews on IMDb are drastically low. Mad Max: Fury Road is a fun film, and in entertainment terms, in my top 10 of 2015.
