I feel like I'm the only person on Earth who didn't like Mad Max: Fury Road all that much.
And my biggest complaint is that it feels like Mad Max in name only. No Mel Gibson, no leather, no V8 Interceptor, no grit. Compared to Mel Gibson's Mad Max, who was more like a folk hero or a western gunslinger, Tom Hardy as Max seems like a silent and distant observer who is just kind of there and, dare I say, is rendered superfluous in his own film. And a lot of the movie, a movie praised for its practical effects in 2015, still feels synthetic to me. Very strong yellows and blues dominate this movie and the wasteland looks like the Sahara Desert, and not like Australia.
Yeah, I know it's almost October, I just didn't watch Fury Road 'til now. Sue me.
