Mad Max: Fury Road

I just saw it today. This movie was terrible. I am not kidding. And I WANTED to like it. I couldn't WAIT for it to be over. How much "acting" did you get from the lead? Almost nil. Charlize gave a powerful performance, I guess. The guy who played the War Boy was pretty good as well. But paint me in the category of those who were NOT impressed, AT ALL.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly when you ask how much "acting" we got from the lead.

If you are referring to him not really being the main character, then I'll grant you that. I'm not sure that hurt the movie though. This was Furiosa's story and her journey. Even Max realizes that and he becomes a man who helps her with her journey/story.

In my opinion, the world of Mad Max has always been more interesting than Max the character so I didn't view this as anything too new/unexpected.

I thought some of the character development (Nux's "face" turn for example) was a bit rushed, but otherwise thought it was an awesome movie with amazing action and world building.
