Where's Max?

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 2015)

For the past half a year I've waited with excitement for what I was sure would be the best and biggest summer block-buster, and tonight after over two hours of explosions and carnage, when the credits finally rolled I was left with one thought"Is that it?" At first I thought this was an instance of over-hyping the movie but then I realized, thats not it. I was excited to see "Mad Max" and instead what I got was "Mad Furiosa" Now before you assume that this is one of those anti-feminism reviews, I assure you it is quite the opposite. I genuinely enjoyed the film, and Furiosa's role as a strong independent female lead. Had the movie been entitled "Furiosa" or simply "Fury road" I would have given it 10/10 stars. Unfortunately however it was titled "Mad Max" tricking fans into seeing a movie that hardly featured the so called hero of the story, (I refuse to call him the main character at this point). On the note of sexism and sexist notions for which the movie is under fire, I will say that i was slightly offended at the theme throughout the movie of "All men are evil except a few of them who are forced into being good and all women should not trust them" If you can't see that in the film then you are really trying to avoid it. That is not however, in my reasoning towards the low rating as i said before the producers of this film lied to me about what it was. I hope if there is a sequel, that it will actually feature the road warrior as promised. I enjoyed "Furiosa the movie" but please George Miller, Don't lie to us again. you may have swindled me out of my $12 dollars this time but I don't think ill trust your work again.
