I just stumbled upon this article about the new Mad Max flick. Sam Worthington seems like a good choice, but I am not entirely convinced. Max wasn’t a badass because he was necessarily physically endowed – it was because he was smart and took risks (although he was fit enough to pull off whatever he started). The inclusion of Charlize Theron? The only reason for this is to add a romantic sub-plot; it should be noted that none of the other Mad Max movies had one.

Also, the name is kinda hokey.
