read my review for Fury's Road

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2015)

i loved this film. i give mad max fury road a solid 8/10.
but i want to play a little game with you; also, my vote of 1/10 is not going to affect the ratings, don't worry.
i want to tell you that which i did NOT like of this film.
1. while this is a film in the mad max milieu, it is not a film about mad max, as the first 3 were. max is not even a main character; Nux is much more of a lead than Max is, and max has so little dialogue they could have made him mute for all it matters.
2. they changed the character of max. max, despite his "mad" moniker, is quite sane, and nice. he would not be so aggressive towards the wives; also pretty much everything max does is somewhat out of character.
3. max's character changes without any development. when he decides to charge back to the citadel, max's character arc is complete, without any motivation as to the change.
to me, these 3 sins are very bad. however, i got to say, the writing is exceptionally good. verging on the scientifically realistic.
i wouldn't vote this as best film of the year, but i do recommend it if you want to see something really, really different than what Hollywood normally does.
8/10 - should be called Furiosa's Road, and drop Mad Max's name.
