Insanely good production design, if a little theatrical...but not much else to recommend.
Hardy was awful as Mad Max. A complete charisma void.
I was afraid of this. I'll say it again, Mel Gibson is Mad Max and had, (still does, really) charisma in spades. And I'm a fan of Hardy - he was terrific in Locke. I don't doubt George Miller made this look good but that won't be enough to get me into the cinema.
Hardy plays gangsters the best. It's all that crack he smoked. Looking forward to Legend, or whatever the new Kray film is called.
I hated Locke and couldn't even watch it. I watched half an hour, realised it was just going to be chatting shit in a car (with a Welsh accent) and turned it off. I thought that Locke was a terrible film. Especially for a feature. But I'm not much of a fan of containment. Not on that sort of level anyway.

I'd give it a go. Others liked it and we've disagreed before.
I'm someone who needs a bit of depth in films. I get bored very quickly when it is just boom bash.
I also liked the one where he played a redneck moonshiner. He's well suited to those kind of roles, despite being born with quite the silver spoon in his chops. I think he always associated better with the bad boys though, or maybe it was just the crack.
To me The Drop is the type of movie that I would catch on TV, watch, and won't regret doing it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see.
Well, I caught it on Netflix... just like Locke, which is why I turned it off after half an hour. There aren't many films I go out of my way to see. I did go out of my way to watch Interstellar and was only mildly disappointed, for the main though, I thoroughly enjoyed the film.
I tried to watch Mad Max last night and couldn't finish it. It was boring. The first five minutes were good, then it got repetitive. The best acting that I could see was from Charlize. Otherwise the performances were dire and the script writing extremely poor.
Thinking about this some more... this is probably the worst film I've tried to watch all year. I actually enjoyed watching Full English Breakfast more, at least I got to laugh at the tragic attempt at filmmaking.
This was just terrible. No story at all to speak of that I could fathom. The logic around Peter Stringfellow controlling all of these people I found extremely difficult to swallow. A cardboard cut out for a villain and mindless subordinates. Yawn, yawn, yawn.
Considering gasoline is an important resource there, they didn't seem to mind burning as much of it as they could. The thing with the guitar also burning fuel was silly. Yes, it looked good, but isn't logical.
For me, this was actually worse than watching Fast and Furious 7... with that at least we expect cheese and cardboard cut out characters and can even get a chuckle out of the absurdity of it all. This was meant to be taken seriously and that's just sad.
