"Mad Max - Fury Road"
Just stopped watching "Mad Max - Fury Road" released by Warner Brothers.
A third Mad Max movie did sound intriguing. Sadly it didn't live up to the pre-release hype. As much as I hate to say this, but the Jew-hating actor known as Mel Gibson was iconic in the role of Mad Max which he had made his own in two cult movies. And Hollywood being Hollywood doesn't know when to move on and come up with an original idea or character. Sometimes you should let a franchise have it's run and move on - take "Weekend at Bernie's" for example. One surprise hit movie and a widely successful sequel that outgrossed the original in earnings, yet there wasn't a third or a reboot.
Tom Hardy simply isn't believable as Mad Max, and this movie is more of a set up for introducing Imperator Furiosa and making her the main focus of the Mad Max universe. In fact, there was talk of replacing Mad Max with Imperator Furiosa. Never a good sign in a movie franchise.
There are two reasons why I stopped watching this movie. The first reason I can place the blame solely at the feet of Zack, Jeff H., and my lovely baby sister Selma Franz, all who had seen the movie before me and forgot to mention the seizure inducing scenes sprinkled throughout The second reason, I just didn't like this movie. I will give it a star for beautiful cinematography thought.
Strongly Advise Skipping this movie.
One Star.
