The film feels as cold as INTERSTELLAR with not one character to genuinely care about.

MOVIE REVIEW – MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
The setting along with the vehicles are gloriously post-apocalyptic and the soundtrack rouses us like never before. But where is Max in all of this?

This film plays out like a quality western without the old west.
THE DARK KNIGHT RAISES (QUESTIONS IT CAN’T ANSWER)
Perhaps in years to come, once we’ve gotten a little more distance on it, the entire Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy will be thought of in the public mind less as an entire piece, and more along the lines of “The one with Heath Ledger in it as Joker, and the other two.”
