A disappointing sequel/reboot.

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2018)

'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' is one of my favorite films of all time and I was really looking forward to seeing 'Mad Max: Fury Road'. When I heard there was going to be a new Mad Max film I was excited at the possibility of it being a great sequel, considering how disappointing 'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome' was.
I was hoping for a sequel that would develop Max's character furthermore whilst building on the world the previous movies set up, considering the massive budget George Miller was given. I was hoping for an epic story with some depth, considering how the post-apocalyptic genre has evolved throughout the years through movies, books, video games, and television.
'Mad Max: Fury Road' is a horribly paced and horribly acted disappointment of a film. The action is extremely repetitive. The score is obnoxious. The editing is awful. The story is painfully basic. Character development is almost nonexistent. Character's make decisions without logic or reason. Max is pretty much a completely different character. In the original films Max was portrayed as a believable human being whereas in this film he is portrayed as a "crazy" cartoon character.
The only good things about this film are it's production design and use of practical effects.
Overall the film is a massive disappointment.
