Exciting action - totally unimaginative plot...

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2015)

Having seen the first 'generation' of Mad Max movies, I was looking forward to something new and exciting after a 30 year hiatus. What I got was a 3D rehash of bits of the earlier movies. Yes there are lots of car chase/war rig bashing and crashing, and yes there are explosions and mayhem, but there are no new plot twists to speak of and most of the characters are stereotypes or caricatures.
If you haven't watched the earlier movies then this is a fun, action packed 'good guys beat the system' story.
If you saw the 'originals' splice a random 2 hours of carnage together and throw in 2 or 3 pretty girls not wearing much and you get Fury Road.
Overall a disappointing reboot.
