They should have named it mad Maxine

Rating: 2/10 (29 July 2015)

Max is minus in this film and gets outplayed easily by Charlize Theron and I guess the director was so glad to have her that she's by far the most interesting character of this action only flick. The story only serves to connect the action sequences which are abundant but after a while you sort of get numb to everything that is displayed before your eyes. This becomes even more clear when they turn around and do the whole thing over again stretching the film even longer and adding absolutely nothing. It had some interesting ideas but all of that never gets of the ground and the realness is lost because the genuine gritty Australian actors of the first 3 installments are replaced by Americans who seem to have no connection with the dystopian desert they're living in. Also the rough straight up violence is changed to a Chinese circus version making everything feel really choreographed and there for fake so you don't feel the tension that was done so well in the original trilogy. The CGI dust storm was the point I should have hit the stop button but I was somewhat hoping things would get better when Hardy gets freed from the mouthpiece stuck to his face,but sadly it didn't.Theron brings some weight to this but the other characters are so laughable which made it all just some what painful to watch. I simply can not understand that a director who made these masterpieces before now goes out in this way and kills his own creation. I strongly suggest his next film should be a parody titled, mad Maxine: blurry road. Which is the road the writers were on when they wrote this abomination.
