THIS is being called "The Best Movie of the Year"?

Rating: 1/10 (24 September 2015)

I mean sure, as far as summer blockbusters go, we have had a bit of a dry spell this year. (At least in my opinion.) However, to call this "The Best Movie of the Year" or "A Masterpiece" that's kinda stretching it isn't it? Seriously, what's so great about this movie? Were the critics watching a different movie from the one than I did? Originally, I wasn't going to write a review for this movie, but after seeing so many raving reviews for this film on the internet, and seeing the absurdly high rating this movie has here on IMDb, I felt that I had to say SOMETHING! Even if my hopes of knocking this movie down a point or two are completely moot, then at least I would've accomplished something by saying how much I hated this film, and add my voice to the small minority of people on this site that believe that this movie is nothing more than an over-hyped, overrated snore-fest. While watching this movie I fell asleep. Yes! This movie, with it's "Thrilling action scenes!" and "Provocative visuals!" Actually put me to sleep! I would go into the plot now, but I don't think this movie has one. At least not while I was awake. Furthermore, Mad Max, the supposed "Main Character" in this film, has no reason for even being in the film! Why call this film "Mad Max: Fury Road", if Mad Max himself has no motivations, or stake into what's going on? And for that matter, why even use the character of Mad Max at all? If you were gonna go that way with it, why not have Mel Gibson appear in a 10-15 minute cameo as an older Mad Max? From what I saw, there was nothing good about this movie. I probably would've been more entertained staring at a wall for two hours. Congratulations George Miller, you've accomplished something that only Rob Zombie and M. Night Shyamalan have been able to do: Cure my insomnia! I present to you, your awards: My middle finger, and a long, loud, raspberry! Bravo A$$hole!
