Everything bad about modern movies rolled into one film!

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2017)

Firstly, like most big budget films nowadays, this film is going back to an old franchise to guarantee interest. Secondly, hey, lets make a woman the dominant, powerful character, that's a very "original" spin nowadays. And lets just pack the film with so much action, noise and explosions that no one will get bored. That should guarantee a great film, eh?
Wrong. People are sick of remakes and films retreading old ground. Men (who tend to be more into action films than women) are getting pretty sick of being force-fed feminist agendas all the time. Make films where women are somehow physically more powerful than men if you want, by why do it with a film called Mad Max? And as for the story, well, like most action films nowadays, it leaves me cold. Back in the 80s/90s, good actions films were stories with action thrown in. They were involving, adrenaline pumping, exciting and they had likable, memorable or charismatic characters that you cared about. This film fails on all counts.
