Road Wars: Max Fury

It's terrible. It's cheap. It's badly written. It's atrociously acted. It was was probably filmed in an afternoon.....in a desert......with an iPhone.

So it should deserve a 1 for being terrible, however, it does have the great Vernon Wells in it!! You know, Him from the MadMax 2 movie, the one with the Mohawk and the assless chaps."....ok maybe not that great.

I couldn't give this a 1 simply because, well, at least they tried. It can't be easy making a movie on a budget like this.

Actually, I just decided to give it another mark because at least music matched scenes and they were edited fairly competently. So there, a 3..... god save me.

I just finished watching Furiosa and thought this was a spinoff from the same production, therefore I purchased it. I had two movies to watch, so you can understand how frustrating it is that I saved this for last only to realise this was like one those movies written in less than a week and recorded within a day. 10 minutes into the movie, I finally realised that I wasting my time. I didn't complete the movie. My advice is "don't even start the movie." It a fake. Poor roleplay and storyline. Apart from the fancy camera, every other aspect of this movie is garbage. I would've given it a -11 stars if it were up to me.

I watched this thinking it was a spin-off show related to the Mad Max movie-series, but as it went on, I thought it had to be the pilot since it was so long. As I continued watching, I got the impression it might be a parody like "Scary Movie," only to be disappointed again. My last hope was that it would turn out to be an erotic movie with too much plot, which would have also been bad since I watched it with my family. But even that hope was destroyed, as the plot, characters, writing, and acting were on the level of what a Warboy might come up with after spraying his face with chrome. IMMORTAN!

Sitting down to watch the 2024 movie "Road Wars: Max Fury", I wasn't in doubt of this being a mockbuster from The Asylum. Lo and behold, my expectation were spot on. Yeah, this is indeed an archetypical mockbuster from The Asylum that cashes in on the release of another major movie, and in this case "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" was the movie.

Needless to say that I wasn't holding my breath for this being a great movie, as the vast majority of movies spewed out by The Asylum are questionable at best. And with the headlining name being Vernon Wells, let's just say that things weren't exactly amounting up for anything grand.

Writer and director Mark Atkins put together a fair enough script. Sure, it wasn't stellar entertainment, but it was watchable enough for a single viewing. But the whole thing was definitely reeking of being a watered down attempt of making a "Mad Max" movie.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with Vernon Wells, and he isn't exactly a great actor in my opinion, delivering wooden performances and staggering dialogue. The acting in the movie, aside from Wells, was actually fairly adequate.

Visually, the movie was okay. I've seen far worse effects in other movies from The Asylum. So this step up in visual presentation and effects definitely added something to the overall impression of the movie.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I was only mildly entertained. And "Road Wars: Max Fury" is definitely not a movie that I will return to watch a second time, nor really a movie that I would recommend you to waste 83 minutes on watching.

My rating of the mockbuster that is "Road Wars: Max Fury" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Another Asylum rip off. Amazing this company is still allowed to rip others ideas off and NEVER create ANYTHING original. I truly believe that resources should ALWAYS be used to make a QUALITY product, whether it is a material item, a movie, a song, anything, and anyone who squanders resources by making absolute garbage that breaks after a couple uses or makes one despise going to the movies because of fear of being ripped off or whatever should be ashamed of themselves. This movie as with ALL asylum releases plays off other blockbuster films, in this case the latest Mad Max Movie "Furiosa" that actually is good, in hopes of drawing that crowd who may "think" this is the movie they wanted to see, but then its just a rip off copy with horrible acting and everything. There should be laws against this type of scam. Anyway, see it if you have the money to waste, but I'd recommend the authentic Mad Max movies instead!
