Middle of the Road!

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2015)

A middle of the Road forgettable movie: The hype was too big, and I can see why Gibson turned the movie down years ago. What worked: Tom Hardy hits the mark as the silent, and tormented Max. The director creates a strong visual rock video feel for Fury Road. The first fifteen minutes grabs my attention. What did not work: Once on the road the pursuit chase scene is way too long. A tiresome visual display of C G I. I miss the Gone in 60 second real car stunts! The bad guy characters are cartoonish. Hard for the viewer to relate and hate characters which are similar to the Transformers. What saves Fury Road is the Max character we all know no matter how hardened Max has become there still is a heart of gold in the man. Six out of ten stars. Nothing special here.
