Lawlight said: Maybe I'm not a fan of vehicular combat but I didn't think the action was anything special. It all felt too similar. Max as a character - what the hell was that performance. He was grunting like a caveman and had psychological problems. It is a far cry from the cool characterisation by Mel Gibson. The plot was paper-thin with motivations being as thin. It is a case of style over substance. |
You didn't watch a lot of action movies lately, did you ?
I've never seen any movie with such a superb directing when it comes to action scenes. And Mad Max pretty much set a new standard.
Max is a dehydrated man, and stillt traumatized by the events he has been through (it was supposed to be a trilogy, so that'll be in the sequel). And as for the plot, it's a bunch of people running for their lives. Also, it's an action movie. What did you expect story-wise ?
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.
