Reasons to Never See this Movie (from a Mad Max fan)

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2015)

Reasons to never see this movie: 1) There were so many explosions that, had I walked out of the theater and into a car bombing, I probably would not have noticed. 2) Max was a bumbling idiot that did almost nothing useful or productive in the entire movie. One or two small things, yes, but he spends the entire first 1/4 of the movie as a total spectator, which brings me to... 3) This movie could have been made without ever including Max. It had nothing to do with Max, as mentioned above he did nothing really useful, and he was almost the flattest and most emotionless character in the story. 4) It has little to do with reality or, frankly, physics. At one point there is a dust/thunder/tornado/lightning/darkness storm that has no apparent cause except to make the interminable chase seen different for a couple of minutes. 5) The villain? An overweight dude with no physical presence, dressed in clear plastic armour, and with a serious breathing issue. It's like if Darth Vader had lived to 150 and brutally interrogated a million donuts. He has no personality, and, basically, no lines worth noting. If he had been silent the entire time, it would have been better. 6) It makes no reference to the previous three movies. At all. Was this a reboot? Why even include Max then, since Max didn't have any actual impact? Oh, right. The "franchise". So George Miller made this movie trying to draw on his fan base for success? I don't know, but this is the truth... 7) I am a fan of the first three Mad Max movies. But my support of this franchise ends there. Like Aliens 3 and Terminator 3, there is nothing worth seeing here, unless you want two hours of explosion and nothing, nothing else.
