One of the worst movies ever!

Rating: 1/10 (23 July 2012)

This movie was absolutely dreadful! First, it is much longer than it needs to be. There are many scenes that could have been shortened or cut out completely which would have had no effect on understanding the end or hurt character development whatsoever. The story is one of the weakest I have seen especially given how well the previous story line was in the last installment. There is very little action and what little there is just isn't worthy of the franchise or the amount of money spent making this film. I found myself constantly saying "Get to it already" and found Bain to be an almost silly villain. The cartoonish quality of the mask he wears is distracting and the cultured voice was ridiculous sounding. In all honesty he came off as a very obvious recreation of Lord Humungus from the second Mad Max movie (A much better movie than this mess and that's saying something). If you put a mask on someone covering only their mouth and nose and then watch them talk you should still be able to see movement of the face but not with bain. I was starting to wonder if perhaps he had pre-recorded the things he was saying as it didn't appear he said a single word throughout the entire movie. I realize this may be a minor issue but it really does distract the viewer. I wasn't able to invest in a single character and there were some pretty major holes in the story that really took away from the overall experience. I went into this movie with high hopes and lots of excitement especially after the performances in the last movie. Save your money and wait till this comes out on DVD so you can fast forward through the endless nonsense to the rare action scenes or at least turn it off after 30 minutes and only be out the couple of bucks you spent to rent it. What a disappointment.
