Puritan Board Freshman
Never saw the original Mad Max movies but heard people only say great things about them. Every single non-Christian review I came across was for this movie was 4.5/5 starts or 5 stars. The Christian review I checked was also 5 stars - it only warned there was lots of violence. Hey, I can handle Braveheart violence. Everyone seemed to be talking about how great Mad Max was. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. Your life will be so much better off without it. Spend your two hours doing something that adds value, not pollutes your soul (I was going to say mind, but it really gets inside of you).
How bad could such a highly rated movie by the director of Babe and Happy Feet be? So I made the very bad mistake of going with a friend to this movie and was immediately horrified by the intentional shock theme - extremely gross in every single way a movie could be. Like a heavy metal rock band video on steroids - think Slipnot. Dirty, diseased, sick, deformed, scared, branded, painted people wearing horror bondage face masks like BDSM. I tried to get past the disgusting elements but there were just too many and they were soooo nasty. We agreed this was very unedifying and walked out in the middle of the film feeling very dirty. Please spare yourselves! I know this is the kind of movie young guys like but this movie is just sexually deviant (too gross to put in writing) and degrading of women; I can enjoy a good action movie too, but there was absolutely nothing redeeming at all about this movie.
So disturbed, now I can't sleep. Dirty, DIRTY movie. Ugh... now I feel dirty. Have to stay up and read to recover.
I was able to find another review that was still WAAAY too positive and glorifying of this movie (but I agree with the 1 star, is it?): http://www.pluggedin.com/movie-reviews/mad-max-fury-road
