If you're a fan of the original trilogy, this movie is not for you.

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2015)

to be honest, i grew up on the original trilogy, and i love it to this day. when i heard that a new mad max is in the making i was really ecstatic about it. but when i heard that Mel Gibson won't be max, well, after waiting for so many years for a forth movie, i was extremely disappointed to say the least. and it got even worst when i heard that the lead went to a limited "actor" ( i am using the word "actor" in the most loose way i can here) who lack charisma, and ability to lead a movie like hardy, especially when you consider the budget of this film, they could have gotten a real star to play the part (russell crowe? hugh jackman anyone??).The rest of the cast didn't add any optimism (Charlize "I'll make you movie as long as your check clears" Theron, Zoë "My mom and dad fixed my career" Kravitz, the list goes on),i was really not looking for this movie to come out. yet i decided to watch it with a non biased opinion. so, this movie didn't really need a "first degree" actors, mainly because the acting, characters, and story line comes second to the visual effects. If Gibson was here, it wouldn't make a difference. so if you like the 3D movies, this one is for you, however, if you expected to see a continuation to thunderdome, well bad luck buddy. this movie was made as a re-boot to attract new audience, and not for the old ones. in road warrior and thunderdome, you got a pattern: the movie starts, give you a good build up, that leads to the chase at the end. it seems that in this one miller told himself:" wait a sec! why wait the entire movie for a chase? lets just start the movie with a chase, and forget the rest!". and thats how it goes, 5 minutes into the movie, the chase starts, and only ends 2 minutes before the credits. if you've watched road warrior and thunderdome enough times, you would see a lot, and i mean a lot of scenes from these two movies that looked like they were copied and paste over and over again (such as the famous truck crash to the vehicle in front, and so on). the story is also a big mash, mainly from thunderdome (instead of tomorrow morrow land, here they are going to that green place). and as for max? well he doesn't say much. he is supposed to be insane (thats what they tell us at least) but mainly he acts like a person that suffers from some degree of retardedness. even in the fighting scene he doesn't do much. mainly runs, but nothing more. the real stars of this movie are the vehicles and the effects. so if you are a fan of the transformers movies, this one would be right up your ally. however if you are a fan of the original trilogy, you wont get much from this movie. It adds nothing to the original trilogy story. Its just an average action movie for our time with little to no story, and lots of shiny lights. the fact that even if they would have change the entire cast, it wouldn't have made any different, pretty much explains itself. but oh well, for us true fans, we'll always have mad max 1 to 3.
