From the preview I've seen of Mad Max: Fury Road, I don't plan to see it. The near-unanimous critical acclaim (98 or 99 per cent at RottenTomatoes.com) for this movie is strange.
Then there's Armond White, who never believes the hype.
"Director-writer Miller capitulates to the low instincts he originally pandered to more than 30 years ago. He’s gotten better at it — demonstrating lotsa panache — but the problem is that popular taste has degraded into an appetite for outlandish destruction and fantastic cruelty. The pop audience (and not just youth) has become like the crazed yahoos Miller depicts on screen without exactly satirizing them."
17 May update: Box Office Mojo reports that Pitch Perfect 2 beat Mad Max for the top earning spot this weekend.
