Why are there so many negative reviews?

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2015)

This film is great fun!
I don't understand the number of negative reviews here on IMDb. Admittedly, a significant portion of this movie's run-time is action, but what where you expecting?
An important thing about this film is that the action is genuinely well done; this is impressive considering that many of the 'blockbusters' of recent years (Transformers, recent Die Hard movies, Wrath of the Titans, etc.) often contain action sequences you can fall asleep watching despite being stuffed to the brim with CGI. In areas, this film clearly relies heavily on CGI, but it's never over done. The action in this film is essentially all part of one huge car chase, with few diversions, which allows for a continual steam of exhilarating carnage.
The main characters in this film all look very distinct, and have vibrant and entertaining personalities. Tom Hardy is brilliant as Max, and as many have pointed out, Charlize Theron is great as Furiosa too. Also worth mentioning is Hugh Keays-Byrne, who is very effective as a menacing presence in the form of the tyrannical warlord 'Immortan Joe'. There could be more dialogue in this movie, but it wouldn't be necessary- if anything, it would remove from the awesome non-stop insanity of the film.
I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is into action films, and feel that general moviegoers will likely find a lot to like here too.
