I have be told that I was not in the right frame of mind when I watched this, and I did not get the point. First off I thought it was a comedy as I could not stop laughing for the first twenty minutes.
After that it plodded along for another hour and a half to the credits. Absolutely nothing original in the story, apart from maybe all the strong female characters. The strong female characters who still fall in love and need saving by the men.
Shots such as:
Furiosa looking at the gear lever when Max is confiscating the weapons in the cab.
Followed by the shot of Furiosa actually taking the knife out to ccheck it just to make it really obvious for the people who could not figure out there was a knife there.
The tracking shot of The Splendid Angharad's full belly showing she is pregnant. You know because we had not figured that out in the previous washing down shot.
I can only assume what I will call 'The Flying Stearing Wheel' shot was there to satisfy those viewing in 3D who need to see things exploding out of the screen.
All in all a long monotonous two hours, the corpse of Mel Gibson's career must be spinning in its grave.
One good thing about the film was Nicholas Hoult, he more than showed he could be the next James Bond.
