Max Max was apparently a seminal movie of the time-a break out role for Mel Gibson. I didn't see it.
The new Mad max promised to be better so I thought hey-I'll take the missus to see it-outh to be good.
WRONG
Basic plot is Charlene Theron and 5 girls drive out in the desert, pick up Max along the way,get to where they're going, find out it isn't there any more, turn around go back to where they started and turn on the water. Movie over.
Some observations:
The only reason I stayed was in the fainthope that somewhere along the wat I'd see some boobies. Closed it came was the scene where the girls were hosing off with water and removing some knarly looking chastity belts. But nothing,zip nada came of that.
Charlene Theron is HOT.Period. Even with one arm and a crew cut.
The bad guy looks like a 60 year 60 pound overweight Bozo the clown peaking at the end of a 4 day meth binge wearing a half mask with tyranosaurus rex teeth connected to an aqua lung. Apparently the girls were his breeders and he wants them back.
Charlene Theron has a glock 19 a Beretta 92 and an SKS among other weaponry. Bozo has a stainless Colt Anaconda (I don't think they would let a python loose in that sand) and a Ruger Stainless Vaquero 5.5" that he gives to his warrior who promptly drops it under the truck. I give Bozo props for his taste in revolvers over the Glocks.
They has a 50 pound baby that looked like Sebastian Cabot in a motorized baby buggy, why I don't know as he added nothing to the plot. It WAS pretty cool in a weird way-he'd make a good pet.
The outback was very pretty-foreboding and quite suitable for the movie.
Vehicles were kinda neat.
They could have done this in 30 minutes but instead drug it out for two hours.
I'd give it half a star for Charlene Theron's eyes. That's about the only pair of anything you get to see in the movie.
Cut it down to an hour,cut out the scene with them milking the obese women to feed the troops, show some nekked wimmin shooting machine guns and you'd have a blockbuster.

Now that's what a Hollywood movie review should be like, just the meat and potatoes; thanks for saving me $20.
 
Great review, a real man's review, written for real men. I wish they were all this helpful...
 
New movies are a waste of time these days. They all seem to be going for a younger audience. Haven't seen a really good one in a long, long time. There is no end to the apocalypse movies and I'm not a fan. Westerns just don't sell days and good sci fi is hard to find.
 
Too much negativity!

And now for a positive review of Mad Max:
---
The first one had some good parts.

Master Blaster was fair in a later version.

The first Mad Max movie, and to a lesser degree the second movie in the original trilogy, was a cult classic. By the time they made Thunderdome they'd lost most of what made the original movie work so well.

Thanks for the review CajunLawyer. It pretty much confirms what I expected. I can easily wait for this one until it shows up on NetFilx or Xfinity. No way I pay to see it and put one thin dime of royalties in Theron's pocket.

Theron, Penn, Neeson, Cruse, and all the other anti-gun Hollyweird hypocrites who earn their living using and mis-using guns in movies - and then turn around and preach about the evils of gun ownership - they can take a long walk on a short pier as far as I'm concerned.
 
I liked it. The wife liked it (surprising to me). It's an action movie with lots of neat stunts and effects. It's better than watching a lot of what's out there. But Cajun's comments are valid, especially the "Cut it down to an hour,cut out the scene with them milking the obese women to feed the troops, show some nekked wimmin shooting machine guns and you'd have a blockbuster."

I had never given this one a thought on watching--and have not watched--nor will I watch--that flick where two dips are supposed to kill the nk leader.

Also, im no lover of new movies but--will admit to greatly liking and will be buying thee:

American Sniper,The Imitation Game, Unbroken and Fury. All will be out as of this week. Anyway,in thirty or so years--I never watched four new movies in such a short time--and liked them as much as these. Imsure it will never happen again either.

Anyway, now fully justified in the decision to NOT watch this madmax.
 
Cajun.... I'll put you down as a.... "Maybe"?

Without water; it's good thing the movie was 3-D and not...... "Odor Enhanced"..... Charlize T and the girls might not have been so attractive!!!!!!!
