It’s all perfectly, wonderfully, fantastically crazy. Amidst all those ingenious, power-packed road warrior sequences, Fury Road contains a surprising amount of depth and character development. Read full review

Mad Max: Fury Road sets new standards in old-school stunt work and car chases and does it in service of an idea-driven story with a beating heart and an action star for our troubled times in Charlize Theron. Read full review

Not only has George Miller made an effective return to the wasteland of the Mad Max universe with Mad Max: Fury Road, he has surpassed most action films released … well … ever. Read full review

Even though this is the fourth Mad Max, and it’s indebted to the style of the previous films, Fury Road stands alone. It’s better looking and more thrilling than any of the other installments. The color palette is vibrant and beautiful, and every inch of the frame is crammed with crazy, brilliant ideas. Read full review

It is insane. In a good way. Whoever said "Too much is never enough" made an impression on Miller, who uses the phrase as a starting point and blasts off from there. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

May 14, 2015

Yet all this wit and effort and occasional beauty is in the service of a movie that is little more than a two-hour chase scene, one that seems founded on the assumption that if you show one set of people chasing another, that’s enough to get an audience excited: Oh, no, let’s hope they don’t get caught!

The best movie I have seen in a long time. Was entertained from start to finish. It is going to be hard for any action movie to top this. Do not usually have any desire to rematch a movie a second time, but this one is an exception.

I wish I could forget this movie so I could see it again for the first time and have My D*ck blown off once more. Easily my favorite movie of 2015.

For other action movies this decade. After over 30 years past the latest installment of Mad Max series, George Miller returns with his greatest ideas in his mind, resulting in raising the bar in all terms for the genre - colorful characters, satisfactory plot, delightful setting, enigmatic character and story backgrounds, multiple references to other movies of the series, and enough of personal and overall human drama. It's only May, but we already have our movie of the year.… Expand

Featuring incredible action sequences, brilliant car chases, great special effects, beautiful mise en scene, great acting, and stellar direction, Mad Max: Fury Road shows that reboots do not need to be terrible.

Though I have not seen the first three, I opted to see this one due to the great word of mouth and ultimately, I was incredibly satisfied. With an absolutely riveting world created that seems vast and unique in nature, Fury Road feels just like an epic action film should. Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, and Nicholas Hoult, are all fantastic, especially Hoult who really steals the show at times. The makeup is great and completely convincing. However, the real star here for me was the beautiful cinematography (which is gorgeous btw) and phenomenal special effects, which were the definition of perfection. The car chases featured both very well, which is why those scenes were undoubtedly my favorite and probably some of the most exhilarating and well plotted car chases I have seen in a film. Truly a great action film, if I was an action junkie, this would be a 10/10, but I am not. All the same, this is still a great film that provides all the heart stopping action and thrills that it should.… Expand

George Miller is back! Sadly, he's just as good but not better. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD has the same exciting flow that the first two films had (let's ignore the monstrous THUNDERDOME) but the non-stop action simply does not feel new.

For the first hour, I was just bored. Lulled into tedium. Then kick ass visuals jump in and Charlize Theron truly steps up. On that point, there is little Max in MAD MAX. He's barely there fading into the clutter. But what super clutter! Great to see real trucks and cars bang up without CGI. Finally, Miller is back but his new MAX is a bit of a bore. A dullard.… Expand

Why? Was this film even created under the name of Mad Max? It was all about a car chase that went no where. Waste of time and energy avoid at all costs
