Crude replica of Mad Max 2

Rating: 4/10 (14 May 2015)

Firstly I must point out I like Mad Max 2 Roadwarrior quite a bit. This one? First thing that come to mind is that some fan of the original movie took good parts from that movie and blew them way out of proportions. That's pretty much Fury Road in short. Musical score didn't go with the movie at all. It was good but didn't fit the movie. I didn't like the opening act and in my opinion it didn't offer anything that couldn't be done with a monologue. I also didn't like that the movie was one big chase scene. There was too much cgi for a movie like this. Some scenes took me completely out of the movie by how cheesy they were.
My viewing experience was probably hindered by wanting to see a movie done in in old fashion and contain a story. This movie also in hindsight seemed to be done with "tongue in cheek" -style with "lots" of comedic elements. Surely the Roadwarrior had those moments too but they were done with bit more class. Fury Road with its cars felt like a comic-book movie in a Marvel style and maybe it is best viewed as such. To me...they should have had some other title to this. Now it's just something to bring in the fans of the originals, who will feel disappointed.
There were some quiet and almost awkward bits where characters were tried to build but they were interrupted by another loud fast paced action scenes.
This movie certainly doesn't hold more than 1 viewing. Maybe to fast forward to some action bits but once they are done the movie is done.
