A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out again. Back then, when this movie was released, if you would ask around, many people would have told you that this was the best movie released in 2015, no less than that. With this in mind, I had some high expectations but, to be honest, I had my doubts even before watching the damned thing. Eventually, I have to admit that it was a really entertaining action flick but not much more than that, I'm afraid. Basically, the whole thing was just a very long chase scene. Sure, I’ll give you that, it was well made and quite spectacular to behold but, seriously, the movie had pretty much nothing else to offer so I kind of missed what was so amazing about it. Concerning the casting, Tom Hardy was a good choice and he did a solid job but, like everyone else, I thought he was actually upstaged by Charlize Theron who was just really intense throughout the whole thing (and, as a result, for the time being, they won’t make another movie about Max, next, they will make instead a movie focusing on Furiosa). I don’t know, it was as if Max was more mellow than actually mad. But that's the problem with the whole chase thing, some would argue that it was just very cool to have some non-stop wall-to-wall action scenes but some character development would have been more than welcome. I have to admit that the production design was pretty amazing though but it was still not enough to cover up the fact that the story was nothing really spellbinding and just too similar to the previous installments. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is actually overrated but I have to admit that it is still a very good action flick and it is definitely worth a look.
