It was so ridiculous that it was funny

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2015)

I am really amazed how many good reviews I am seeing on this site for this movie. Although I must admit it wasn't really bad, I would never called it good. A lot of people have pointed out, the photography, the music...all the technical things, and I must admit that indeed they are very well done. The main problem of this movie wasn't in that, it was in the casting and the plot. So the movie begins, and as almost it begins the action too, which as all of the people who watched, I too love my action, but in giving the "action" the audience wanted I understood nothing about the plot, because it was never developed. I never got what were those white humans, why were they white, and why did they capture people for the blood, and I must admit I have never watched Mel Gibson's movie or read the comics (I heard there were comics about it), but a movie shouldn't need the help of other mediums, specially when its not a sequel. So I didn't either understand why the wives were so important. The second problem was the casting, Charlize Theron stole the whole movie. Between the supposedly main character Max and the wives, it was like I was seeing a high school play instead of a movie, and as I said Charlize Theron didn't help matters by showing the great actress she is. The third thing that was an issue or maybe not was the ridiculousness of everything, starting with the guitarist playing the guitar while thousands of people were dying around him, every time I saw him, I laugh my head off. Then you have the medical stuff, the blood transfusion while not even caring the type of blood of the donor. And look, I do not have a problem with a little fantasy in my movies, but in a world that was stated that it came from ours, it was unbelievable. Then the funniest thing were the people flying on the poles (I loved the acrobatics) And I'm sure the movie wasn't supposed to be a comedy, but it ended up being that. Anyhow at the end of it, I suppose it was entertaining, even with its faults.
