Not as good as expected

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2015)

Before watching Mad Max, i had the sense of excitement due to the uproar surrounding it. The first 15 or so minutes were energetic and intriguing to say the least, unfortunately, there after, all expectations were not reached. Yes, for an action film the intensity was constant, graphics incredible and scenery immaculate, leading me to understand that those who love action genre must have been quaking in their chairs. However, i don't wish to be demeaning, but for those of you who are rating this above a 9 scale must have never watched a truly incredible film. We grow no connection with either Furiosa and Max. Tom Hardy, one of my favorite actors, was given very little to do, speaking about 10 lines overall. Having achieved a connection with the audience in most of his other films such as lawless and Batman, makes me believe that it must have been George Millers fault that we don't grow this link with him. The wives of Immortan Joe begin to annoy me, resulting in little sympathy and Nux, well, hes just there. The People Eater and The Bullet Farmer appear from no where and have no relevancy and the guitarist was painfully embarrassing, almost making me squint every time he came on screen. I am not saying this is a horrific film, it isn't, but please, for goodness sake, IMDb users, do not rate this a 9 or 10!
