Mad Max Ruined.

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2015)

Start by saying I'm a fan of the original trilogy of Mad Max films.
So I went in to watch this with eager eyes but sadly by the end my neck was sore from shaking it so much.
Just terrible on all aspects, Plot/dialogue/CGI/action/soundtrack so so bad.
Put it this way they could have made the entire film and removed Mad Max's character and still ended up with the same film.His part in the film wasn't even the lead. Charlize Theron could have solo'd it with out Max which is not the worst thing I can think of to say about the story writer for this mess. Suppose to be a Mad Max film but Tom Hardy had no chance with this script. How many lines did he even have? No character to connect with. Nothing to make me accept him as replacement for Mel Gibsons version. Charlize Therons character had it all, story and purpose but Hardys was basically a passenger along for the ride. The whole concept of them escaping then actually escape to then u- turn back for a suicide mission so we can have a action packed ending is beyond crap writing.
The dialogue was terrible, an example would be poor giant Nathan Jones telling me 3 times that they're trying to use the sand storm to lose them..yeah yeah we get it, big storm coming and they're driving towards it, hmmm wonder whats going on here d'uh, no need to help Sherlock...why does Hollywood writers insist on spelling things out unless they accept that the only people that enjoy this stuff are out they're minds on drugs (like the writers clearly)
Action in this mess, well yeah the vehicles were inventive I'll give them that but there's only so much of them blowing up you can take before you become immune and start going ''oh yeah there goes another one *yawn'' It's way too repetitive. Especially in a 2 hour movie which is 3/4's blowing car/trucks/bikes/buggy's up.
Soundtrack was well laughable..some of the scenes where they're trying and failing to set some sense of mood and this music playing hahaha..it was bad, I struggle to even describe it, what were they thinking...like they realised there was no story or connection to the actors so they turned the melodramatic sounds up to 11..I have no idea. The mad guitar guy on the truck was fun though, abit over the top but yeah he was good.
Bad guy, the main Bad dude was erm no idea..no idea why he was in charge, no idea why he wore a mask, no idea what the hell was going on with him, just no idea. oh and his ending was meh ...forgettable.
I generally like post apocalypse type of movies, there's been a load made but this is one of the worst. B movies are made better..straight to TV do better.
This has been way too over hyped and people want to like it so they walk out going ''yeah that was proper crazy..loved it'' but really deep down they'l forget it and probably not watch it again.
I disliked it so much that if I was offered money to sit through it again I would struggle to accept the cash.
Its a case of what could have been sadly..script terrible + story terrible = shite movie.
