Thar! That Blows.
I finally saw this last night. I'm a huge Mad Max Fan. Mad Max, and The Road Warrior are delightfully gritty post apocalytpto indie madness with a good enough story.
Beyond Thunderdome was fun; but a little too much candy from the mainstream studio. Tina Turner was pretty cute; trying to be evil. And who doesn't love a good Train Chase?
In Fury Road Max (who isn't Max, he's some other whosit) spends the first third of the movie as a Hood Ornament; which pretty much precludes him from Doing Anything. Not that we're sure just what it is that he's Supposed to be Doing. I'm not sure why a distant colony of single mothers actually need a shipment of Mother's Milk from the Dairy of Obesity. Single mothers do their own lactating; in my experience.
When Max regained his freedom from Hood-Ornament-Hood; he continued to nothing, on a continuing and ongoing basis until SomeOne Female did something, on Max' behalf, that had no apparent significance to anyone, or anything relevant. Yeah, some weirdos were slaughtered; but we're never sure why. They were ugly. What more reason did we, the viewers need?
