Road to Despair.

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2016)

I'm really hoping someone can enlighten me as to how this film scored over a 4.0, never mind 8.2. I found it repetitive, pointless and generally quite boring.
I was a fan of the original Mad Max movies in the 80s; but I have no idea what the writers and directors were trying to bring across with this 'Fury Road' instalment. I just wish they hadn't bothered.
I appreciate the ethos, genre and 'feel' of what the whole film is about; I just think it could have been done in 20-minutes, thus saving themselves a load of money - and the viewers from having to watch the same action scenes over and over again... not to mention a very shallow and weak storyline which just seemed to get lost anyway amidst the sand and OTT mayhem.
I'm not saying Mad Max Fury Road is a bad (like unwatchable) movie; I just found that after 20 minutes, any originality, storyline and excitement had vanished - to the point where I felt I was on my own road to despair.
With the amount of hype the film has created, no doubt it will certainly be watched; but having a score of 8.2 - oh please.
I'm giving this one a '4' - just... Never to be seen again.
