Understandable enthusiasm of action fans

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2015)

Yep, this is one action movie ! Somewhat from the 1st to the last minute it goes bang, bong and krapeng ! And it's well done action even if a little repetitive after a while. So, if 100% action and adrenalin, in a dark&dusty design is your kind of flick, then it is a 10 out of 10. Therefore it is understandable that it stays in the moment at 8,3 because many just seek for nothing else. If you expect a bit more, like deeper going characters, dialogs, acting, story etc, you will be disappointed because there is absolutely none of that. Sure, action movies are not made for that in the first line but I saw good stuff combining story and action. The "non" story here bases itself, as so often, on the fact that people need to go/drive from point A to point B and making here a lot of noisy and crazy stuff when doing it. But hey, this picture goes even a step further....they go as well the same way back !! Wow. That is genius. I did not expected any real relation to the 1st and one and only Mad Max (even if the unrecognisable Keays-Byrne was one) but I did hope to get more from Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. Damn, they can act, certainly Tom Hardy can..... But that's business and Tom Hardy knows it but I do hope for him that he is not ruining his career. Younger audience will be impressed by the action, score, design etc, but anybody who likes cinema for people acting around a story...they will go home empty in there heads. And one last thing before I close, you need to see this on very big screen or even the action fans will be bored.
