Poor, Poor Charlize.

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2015)

First off, I'm old enough to have seen the original Mad Max movie. I find it sad that The Hollywood elites can't come up with anything new and just have to keep rehashing sequel after sequel after remake after remake.
Now that I've seen the "new" Mad Max, my first impression was, this is so bad it's almost good. Destined to be a cult hit. I've reconsidered.
This is just pathetic! How in the world this waste of electricity, payroll and all the other expenses that go into a movie..(not that this really qualifies for that category) I will never understand. I guess some executives somewhere, China most likely, are sitting around thinking; "Remember that Australian flick with the guy and the dog? Let's rip that one. Throw in some politically correct themes. We'll have a blockbuster."
I've enjoyed Tom Hardy in his past work, and Charlize I've enjoyed too, but in this case, not exactly resume enhancing, Oscar material.
That being said; if you loved the original Mad Max, Mel Gibson franchise, you'll be sadly disappointed. If you've never seen the original films and like lots of shiny flashy things with nothing inside them then please, knock yourself out.
For myself...this movie was 2 hours and some seconds of my life lost that I can never get back.
