Great action entertainment but lacks decent story

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2015)

Having worked with George Miller on all three previous Mad Max movies over 30 years ago I was really keen to see what he would come up with number four. Well, the lack of story was a little disappointing, but as a comic strip action movie it scores well. However, a two hour chase from point A to point B then back to point A was a bit pointless, and without some decent dialogue one just didn't care about the characters... Top marks to John Searle for his fantastic camera-work which provides a visual feast to compliment the spectacular stunt work....The hard task was to replace Mel but Tom Hardy does a decent job. Nicholas Hoult was great as Nux, and it was good to see Hugh Keays-Byrne playing the bad guy once again. (He played Toecutter in the original Mad Max film). Overall, this is an entertaining action movie that certainly delivers what it sets out to do, and should keep the action fans happy...
