Disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2015)

I had very high hopes for Mad Max, especially because of Tom Hardy playing the lead role, but felt greatly disappointed when walking out of the cinema. This movie was supposed to be something new and fresh and i thought it would be movie of the year, but boy was i wrong.
I still don't know what the point of the movie was. It felt like the writer had a great idea, started writing, and just went with it wherever it took him. There was no real vision and because of that, the plot seemed lost.
Usually when a movie is as dark and revolting as Mad Max, the director tries to pull the viewers in by aestheticizing some part of it, be it a place or a character. Nothing about this movie drew me in, and i felt disgusted and uncomfortable throughout the whole film.
The reason this movie gets a 7 from me is the decent acting and amazing stunts/filming. It compensates what it doesn't have in quality and depth with intense car chases and fighting scenes that keep the viewer excited.
