No 2015 Oscar Contender Has Been Better Than Mad Max: Fury Road

I don't watch a lot of movies, but I watched Mad Max because of all the hype.
Man was I disappointed, it was basically Fast and Furious 9: After the Apocalypse. --- Two hours of car chases and freaks with makeup.
I can see it nominated for some technical Oscars, they did a great job there for sure, but any acting, directing or best picture award is out of reach, and would not be deserved at all.

I can tell you don't watch many movies. Outside of car chases, this film has almost nothing in common with fast and furious. But everyone has there own opinions I guess.

Well, I never watched any Fast and Furious movies, it's just what I call any movie that has two hours of car chases and crashes with almost no story or sense. They just keep driving, get there, decide to go back, victory! Plenty of postapocalyptic makeup and pointy spiky metal elements, with characters growling and making weird faces and noises.

I should have quit halfway through, but I kept thinking something will actually happen that is not a cliche car chase movie for the past 30 years. I was wrong.
