I don't get the hype...

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2015)

I have no idea how people are describing this movie as a "masterpiece." Half way through I was thinking, "This movie is crap," but at least it started to get better about 2/3 of the way through. As many others have mentioned, it is a 2 hour car chase with basically no dialog or plot other than, "escape to a better life." Max had some flashbacks that were never explained at all and what little dialog the movie had sounded like a 12-year-old wrote it. Yes, there were some cool car crashes and action sequences, but how that makes this a "masterpiece" is beyond me. I am a Mad Max fan from back in the day and although I figured this movie wouldn't top it, I didn't think it would be this lame either. Maybe we need J.J. Abrams to direct every movie reboot so they don't suck.
