What a huge disappointment.

Rating: 5/10 (27 February 2016)

Two of my favourite screen stars in Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron have really disappointed me in being involved in this film. I loved the earlier Mad Max movies and was so looking forward to seeing this. It is beautifully filmed and the design is awesome but ultimately has nothing of substance about it. The first hour or so is almost all action which after the first 10 minutes start to bore the viewer no matter how stylishly it has been staged. Though there is little dialogue what there is is difficult to understand as everyone seems to be shouting as loud as they can to be heard over the machines. All style and no real substance. How and why on earth would anyone play a guitar in a war chase for goodness sake?
