Unbelievable. Twice.

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2017)

First "unbelievable" - it is that Mad Max franchise could be SO wasted. I am slowly (or even quickly) getting used to the lowering of quality in almost all sequels: they get worse and worse, year after year. But nothing prepared me for the Fury Road. It was almost uni-vocally acclaimed by the critics - it is the second "unbelievable". HOW could anyone like it? What can be possibly liked in that disastrous, pathetic movie?
First - Mad Max himself. Where is Mad Max in this movie? There is just some pathetic loser who has no... Well, he has nothing. No charisma, no strength, no brain, no ideas, no mission - nothing. The rest of the characters - not better than Mad Max. The worst part is a bunch of the supermodels who apparently have just had their hair done, nails polished, facial and full makeup applied, in a world of dirty, ragged, ape-like cavemen. Where did they come from? They just doesn't fit. It hurts eyes and brain. The "special care" for them is not plausible (they would have to produce lipsticks, creams, powders, eyeliners and so on).
The story - plain stupid. A "Mad Max" movie doesn't need to be very deep, it is action-oriented. But here nobody knows what and why she/he does, the decisions are random. We can not feel the story, it simply doesn't look real. We are not in this world, we don't experience it. We just sit in the cinema, watching something boring. By the way: it is Mad Max. But the lead character is some chick. I know nowadays girls MUST be the main characters in the movies (or a girl and a man). But if it is really necessary, why just not do a "Mad Princess Maximme"? Why to do a laughable Mad Max?
In all of the Mad Max "old" parts there was action, blood, violence, AND something deeper. Here is only action (violence is on a naive, kindergarten level). And it may sound paradoxically, but action is boring.
