Mad Max: Fury Road - movie review
Grade: B
The movie starts with frenetic action and pauses only momentarily to take a breath before launching into the next epic action/chase/fight scene. If that's what you want then you won't be disappointed. After the Thursday opening night the user rating for this movie at Rottentomatoes stands tall at 94%. Obviously the fans of this genre are immensely satisfied.
There is next to zero story development. Even after 30 minutes into the movie it's still a mystery as to why one group of people is running from another. On the plus side: it's hard to have plot holes when there's almost no plot.
The acting was a strong point -- in the few scenes where it was required. I was particularly impressed with Charlize Theron. There really isn't much to Tom Hardy's character. All of his lines of dialog added together would fit on the back of a postage stamp. (This movie isn't high on talking.)
My biggest gripe would be that due to the complete lack of character development I never really cared what happened to any of them.
I didn't see it in 3D but I would hazard to guess that it would make a good 3D experience due to the almost none stop action. So far the RunPee users would agree. 88% suggest that the 3D version is worth the extra coin to see -- with only 16 votes cast thus far.
