Absolute garbage. Another franchise in the crapper.

Rating: 3/10 (23 June 2015)

I grew up with Mad Max, and The Road Warrior, and I apologize for Thunderdome. I was 13 when it came out, so I was clearly a target demographic. But that one was to save the kids, and now we're saving the chicks.
Yes, I heard all the uproar when it came out, and it concerned me. I also remember watching the previews with an arched eyebrow, and ALL of those fears came true. The flamethrower guitar is ridiculous and pointless. Just dumb. Mounting your blood-donor to the front of your car, and then using nitro? Seriously? Hogtie him, and throw him in the back-seat, or the trunk. Isn't it important that you keep him alive if he is giving you a constant blood transfusion? But, it looks cooler if you strap him to the hood, and don't put any eye protection on. It's just a desert. No rocks, or dust or anything.
Every single time a woman bit it, there was a stop in action to reflect on the loss. EACH time. When the preggo chick fell, it affected EVERY cast member in the movie. It was TRAGIC to lose a woman, but dudes were getting offed a mile a minute. And their clothes stayed amazingly pure and white throughout the movie. Every male in the movie is either horribly flawed and evil, or exists to serve the women. Max and the kid are the only "good" ones. At the end, the benevolent women turn on the water for everyone. ... In, what has got to be, the WORST water-distribution system in existence. I'd like to believe that Joe was actually rationing a limited supply of water, and now these silly binks have just made the world's largest mud puddle for a week.
This movie did not remind me of the first two, at all. Yeah, they had the double-barreled shotgun with the dead shell. Whoopie. Did that one-armed chick, really hold a guy by his leg for a couple of minutes, while crushing a speeding car between her rig and another? Mmmkay. He weighs, what? 200 pounds? And she's going to one-arm it, with her robot arm that is strapped on? Wow.
I am VERY glad that I refused to see this in the theaters. This is not something that I would have liked to contribute to. Thanks BitTorrent, because I would have been IRRITATED to have paid for this crap. I did notice that the commercials for it stopped pretty much as soon as it came out. That usually means it's all promotion hype, and that usually means a mediocre experience at best. I was so bored and uninterested at times, I put it on pause and went and did other things. I was never glued to my couch, and I felt that I was struggling to finish it.
Craptastic. On ... just about every level. Should have been titled: Mad Max - Chopped & Screwed.
