Running on Empty

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2015)

I'll keep it as short as I can: Music is lacking in the beginning, make it odd and making you or me wonder, is this for dramatic effect, but there was no drama.
The beginning action scenes at first seem impressive, but looking back on it it was bland.
Max's car sucked, it was hardly used on top of that.
Max barely said a word to the point of absurdity.
It kept blurring, for too long, as an artistic effect obviously.
The water dumping scene/s were nonsense, because there was clearly a substantial population who needed water, and yet it was dumped in a wasteful way and it appeared hardly anyone was able to fill their baskets, or in any decent way. Why no just pour it out efficiently rather than wastefully? The action and fight scenes were cool, but the characters were super shallow, really, hardly anyone said anything.
Immortan was supposed to be some sort of Mohammed Prophet type clearly, but in various scenes he's treated more like an angry dad in front of the worshipers, how then could they be so passionate about him as they showed in the movie? A fun movie, but basically godless, annoyingly stupid, and a whoppingly disappointing end. There was no impression I could get that even if Furiosa even did make a speech to the people at the end when she "won" the city, that she would have had the strength, and she didn't, or have been able to say anything impressive, like, "I and Max here have set you free from this monster who pretended to be God", why not just a line like that, or why not Max saying, "I truly do not know this woman, but she and I have slayed a monster for you impostering God, now seek true redemption, whatever that may be", not even shouting it, but saying it in his low key way on a microphone, it didn't have to be dramatic, but at least something to end the movie well. But, no, nothing, like a pretty car with an empty gas tank and going no where.
It was also hard to understand a lot of what was said and when Immortan was killed, it was a blur; what happened?
