Wuff, Yeesh. Ugh.

It came highly rated. I dragged myself through this movie. It had almost no humor and very little scares.

Predictable story. The lead actor gave it a shot but he was one dimensional, unbelievable and just shrill.

The girl actor was at least cute and a little creepy.

On the plus side, they did a lot with a movie that looks to have had a budgets of maybe $35. It's just 2 people in a haunted house and a few non incidental characters. It is puzzling, baffling and suspicious that this movie has a 6.4 rating.

But there is nothing new here, move on, dear viewer and avoid this one.

Excellent acting from the two lead actors. Great setting and costumes, very original story.

It started out slowly but I didn't mind because the film has a charming, nostalgic and almost folksy feel to it. I was enjoying it very much.

The story really had me interested. There were original and compelling Ideas... and then it just sputtered out and had an unsatisfying ending.

The ending turned this movie from an unknown gem into an average X Files episode. The ending is just a cop out, like the authors ran out of originality and said, "Screw it, we got 85% of a great movie, let's just write some sort of ending and go into production."

Im sad. I was really in to this movie. It was like a 3 course meal where the first 2 dishes were surprisingly good, then they finished with cold hamburgers and kicked you out of the restaurant.

Almost every component of this movie was very good, but the ending turned this movie from and 8.5 to a 6.

Dammit.

The Good

• Chris Hemsworth steals this movie.

• Amazing action and stunts. Oustanding.

• First rate cinematography. Just stunning.

• Great costumes and art direction.

The Bad Anya Taylor Joy made a valiant effort but was not right for this movie. She is too small and physically not credible as an action lead. I really like her, but a scrawny, 98lb weakling just can't be an action hero like Furiosa.

The story requires a suspension of disbelief that borders on insanity.

At one point Furiosa talks and her voice is deep and gravelly like Clint Eastwood. This literally made me laugh out loud.

Summary Im glad I saw it. It is breathtaking and never boring, but I probably will not re-watch it. Fan Boys of Mad Max will like it.
