Fury Road aka Thunderdome 2015

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2015)

I really wanted to like this movie. I read the glowing reviews and eagerly went to see the movie this afternoon. I sat in the theatre and kept waiting to be moved by the action or the plot and felt absolutely nothing but boredom and sadness.
I am a fan of Mad Max and Road Warrior. Thunderdome was garbage and although this wasn't garbage it was far from good. I mean, did they really need a mutant midget?! Did they really need a blind mutant guitarist on the front of a truck?! In a post apocalyptic world are we really going to see that many women that look as if they've just stepped off a model's runway? Besides all the things that are just preposterous or don't make sense there is absolutely no character development and the characters do not make any sort of connections themselves. What we get is a lot of car chase with a lot of things blowing up around some very attractive visuals, but little plot or any real reason to care about the characters or the movie itself. I for one am really disappointed.
