For lovers of action-packed, explosive stuff with shallow plot.

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2015)

Good points: well filmed, good action sequences, well made props and costumes. Basically: the visuals were pretty good, except for the fact that the camera work was actually too soft and sterile for that kind of movie.
Bad points: very predictable script, bad dialogues, shallow characters, poor acting, even from seasoned actors like Charlize Theron, who has in the past demonstrated high skill (vide: Monster). The remaining actors (Tom Hardy included) need to attend workshops at the very least. Some of the supporting cast should change jobs altogether.
The experience of this movie was overall shallow, based on visuals and clichés. I expect a little more quality from the writer and director of something that cost an estimated $150'000'000 to make.
Result: 6.5/10, rounded up to 7, as the rating system doesn't take 1/2 points.
