made thunderdome look like a masterpiece

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2015)

(Warning spoilers)
No mel Gibson. Bearing in mind that an ageing mad max flick could seem comparable to the last indiana jones, so good choice.
However, tom hardy as mad max was terrible. I am not one for character development and i understand max over a period of time has became colder, however he felt like Christian bale as batman.
He really didn't do much in the movie, an empowered charlize was there to do most (if not all the work). Actually the title for this movie should have been 'Mad charlize' with a supported role by mad max.
The problem with this movie is there is very little about mad max (considering the title is named after him). He seems to be small part of a parallel story line that clashes with the main story of the film. To finish up as there is not much to analyse about tom hardy's acting in this movie. I think just about anyone could have done equal if not a greater job.
charlize acting was OK, not terrible but it seemed like her role should have been mad max's role. Charlize appears in the movie with a short haircut and looking similar to a man. She even has a mechanical arm and almost dies saving the main cast, were tom hardy nurses her back to health.
After writing this paragraph it has dawned on me that maybe the writers changed the roles to be more pc, however that is only an assumption.
Now for the movie.
The movie itself is very high in action, has similar wacky car ideas and innovated ways to destroy a large moving object, but it is only a variation on the 2nd (a big truck) and the third (a train) storyline. Max goes somewhere, saves some people and stuffs up the bad guys. With a slight variation in this one, max goes somewhere (captured), doesn't really do much and leaves at the end, leaving charlize to play the role of maf max.
My rant.
before I start, I know this is a fictional story but the premise of mad max is this situation could happen (two men enter one man leave and angry Anderson aside)
Whose idea was it to put in biker grannies, not cool and illogical for an apocalyptic movie (pc?).
What was with that angus young guy constantly shredding on top of that moving vehicle? No need.
What was with that guy saying not to get addicted to water? Water is an element of life
How the hell where there so many people in the desert. The only deserts are in the interior. The majority of people live in the coastal areas?
Again what was with those biker grannies, I know 60-70 yo's. Cant see that one happening.
What was with that bold guy with mad max?
Who in Australia would believe in Valhalla?
How did everyone in the citadel get access to white face paint all the time, in the Australian outback?
How could that citadel be created in the Australian outback?
What was with that main bad guy?
Again, I know this is a fictional movie but if you live in Australia you would recognize the first one. Thats how Australia really looks.
To conclude I give it a 5. Watch it if you are a fan who must see it. If you don't want to be disappointed, stick clear of this one.
actually just stick clear! The anger you will feel afterwards is not worth it.
