I cannot believe how high a score this movie has at IMDb.

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2016)

Mad Max: Fury Road currently has an IMDb score of 8.2 stars, and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%. It was in the running last night for a Golden Globe award for Best Picture, but it didn't win. The fact that it didn't win was no surprise; the fact that it was even nominated was a huge surprise. If you read actual user reviews, including this one, you will see that a great many people thought this movie was awful. The film's only redeeming quality was the cinematography, which I will admit was gorgeous. Beyond that, there was nothing to keep my interest. I actually purchased the movie when it became available for digital download, and I couldn't get past 1 hour mark, and I tried three different times.
I liked the original Mad Max movie, but it wasn't my favorite dystopian film. I like Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, and Nocholas Hoult, but that doesn't really matter here. I like dystopian action / adventure, and chase scenes, still doesn't matter. There was just no way for me to suspend my disbelief enough to get into this story. There really wasn't much of a story, and what little there was was, was entirely too stupid and disjointed to believe, even in a movie. Maybe I could have tolerated more than one hour if there was no dialogue at all. It was just too damn nonsensical and stupid.
