OK action film.. Shameful Mad Max 4

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2015)

Its getting harder and harder to find an original movie these days and so we get an endless supply of re boots. With that in mind it was good to see that this movie was NOT a reboot, but a sort of follow on, and while i thought it was an OK movie it should have been just that... an OK movie under a new name as it was nothing like the originals... Yes there were links like it was set in post apocalyptic Australia and yes max didn't speak much... but seriously??? . Instead we have the brand name that rely's on the older generation telling the young ones how great the originals were.. Classics, cult movies. And so we get this tripe using the name of mad max to sell an action film that could just as well be called ' THE DESERT ROAD OF DEATH' and should have. Its just my opinion but as an avid fan i thought mad max 3 sold out to Hollywood and pushed it a bit... but this is a disgrace to the franchise! as an action film its OK, 6/10, nothing I've not seen before, but trying to fill such big boots makes it a dying shame and i hope they stop here. Rename this move to have nothing to do with mad max, just happens to have a star called max and it would work a lot better. You cant just tell this story because the younger generation wont know the story and wont watch the originals because they are not full of modern effects, cgi and so on and the older generation will see that Tom Hardy as good an actor as he is does not get the character right. Sorry to drone on but i loved 1,2 and 3. This one i would sooner forget.
