They've been talking about doing this movie for years. So i was all up for it. But does it live up to the standards of the excellent "fury road?" Unfortunately i found alot of this movie to be stuck in first gear.
I'm maybe being too harsh with the rating because there are positives in the movie. Most of the action is as good as you'd expect with alot of real stunts, and Chris Hemsworth steals the movie as the villian. I loved the middle hour or so of it, and the film had alot of style and cool design work like all the Mad Max movies have had.
But there were just as many negatives. There wasn't really a plot and it was all very this scene, then that scene, then this, then that. I didn't know what was going on the first half hour or so, and then found the last half hour very underwhelming and anticlimatic.
Plus there was alot of bad green screen and CGI despite what people say. Can Chris Hemsworth not drive? Because he was just being dubbed into the truck he was in, and even the cracks in his windows were CGI. I mean come on! I get people being on fire being done with CGI but some of this was just lazy. Not to mention the movie takes the scenic route and is way too long.
