I Loved it then and I'm glad to say the legacy Lives on and it doesn't disappoint. I wasn't able to sit back at all during the movie, the constant action and twists had me either on the edge of my seat or jumping up and down with my brother screaming. The only thing I feel could have been improved upon was diving more into the past of Max himself, he is one of the most iconic characters ever for many Action movie fans and yet, in a movie made to continue his Glory, he was explained very little. Those who know of his past of course understood some of the finer points in the film. All in all, I truly enjoyed my experience and I will definitely be buying it upon release. 9 out of 10.… Expand

Honestly I was a bit worried when I first sat in the cinema to watch this movie because I was unsure if the movie will live up to my expectation based on what I'd seen on the trailer or not. This is because most of the movies I watched previously only appears really interesting in the trailer but not in real premiere. However, this one totally blew me off. It is super duper cool and worth it! I haven't watched previous Mad Max series and when I heard that since this is going to be a sequel to past Mad Max series, I thought I wouldn't understand the plot but it turns out there's not much to understand anyway. The plot is straightforward although there are some parts which leaves me into question but I guess I might need to refer that to past series. Anyway to be honest the plot is just normal to me but I do give top marks for the action of this movie. I mean this is literally a full action movie. Right from the beginning to the end there's always action scenes which leaves the audience in awe and I think with this kind of movie, the plot don't mind that much to me. This movie is like the apocalypse version of Fast and Furious and for gamers who have played apocalyptic games, this reminds me a lot about games such as Rage or Twisted Metal. I would love to see another sequel to this!… Expand

It managed to keep all the ridiculousness of the old Mad Max movies and still managed to be fun but not feel out of place or incredibly stupid while doing so. Charlize Theron did a great job, which I'm glad to see after the last few stinkers she's been in. It's pretty much nothing but action for 2.5 hours straight, but it worked in its own way.

If you're going to see an action movie this summer, I'd say choose either this or Age of Ultron, but this was definitely the superior movie.… Expand

The Good: Quite possibly one of the greatest action films of the last 20 years, if not of all time. The film retains the gritty tone of the original films, but with updated effects and choreography that is mind-blowing. "Pulse-pounding" and "edge of your seat action" are terms that get thrown around a lot in reviews of films like this one, but they are completely appropriate here. Almost the entirety of the movie is spent on one "war rig", but there is a certain level of twisted beauty in the simplicity of it all. The vehicles are fascinating beasts of twisted metal and gasoline. The characters are hopeless, yet determined. The world itself is barren, hot, and unforgiving. This all sets the tone perfectly as you watch the protagonists struggle through it all in a series of brilliantly designed chases, brutal battles, and bloody deaths. Hardy was well cast as the titular Mad Max, grunting and fighting while uttering few words. Nicholas Hoult is unrecognizable as Nux, one of Immortan Joe's (the main villain of the film) "War Boys". When he's on-screen, he definitely stands out and Hoult is becoming quite the character actor. The real star of the film, however, was Charlize Theron. If anyone ever wondered if she could pull off an action film, wonder no longer. She not only pulls it off, but excels. Entertaining from start to finish, Mad Max: Fury Road is already in the running for best film of 2015.

The Bad: Not that it matters TOO much, but the plot is not only paper thin, but mostly non-existent. It's a small detail, but prevents the film from being absolutely perfect. Aside from that, some of "the Wives", who are a plot device that helps drive the film, were somewhat annoying and uninteresting.… Expand

Was it perfect, no, but it was really good. They struck a nice balance between realism and fantasy physics. The story did not get to complex or retread the previous movies story lines. It fit the Mad Max universe.

I am willing to say Fury Road is the best of the Mad Max series. Loved Road Warrior, but Fury Road got to take advantage of a higher budget and more modern effects.

The only thing that kind of annoyed me was the children memory thing. They over did that at times.

Did I miss Mel Gibson, nope. Tom Hardy is a great replacement for Mad Mel.… Expand

Also, Immortan Joe is very creepy and the movie is more violent than a normal r-rated movie. This movie would have been nothing without Furiosa.

While the film may not be quite as good as Road warrior, it comes very close which is an accomplishment in its own right.

Oh, man. I don't have words for this film yet. Maybe there are no words, since what George Miller and his team put onscreen defies description and transcends language. But here's my attempt.

With technical precision that seems effortlessOh, man. I don't have words for this film yet. Maybe there are no words, since what George Miller and his team put onscreen defies description and transcends language. But here's my attempt.

With technical precision that seems effortless but must surely have taken a small army to manage, Miller weaves his unique, fantastic vision of post-apocalyptic chaos and carnage into a work of piston-pumping poetry, all set to Junkie XL's adrenaline-fueled soundtrack. Without hyperbole, I can say right now that this one of the all-time great action movies. It makes Furious 7 look like a badly edited Mario Kart replay.

I'm not gonna lie, there was a moment of vehicular mayhem where I shed a manly tear. T'was one of hope, for my heart had almost forgotten what heights pure cinema was capable of. It's got a minimum of CGI, fantastic stunt work, great set design and art direction, breathtaking locations, and strong performances, even from the supporting cast. This is the movie I've been waiting for my whole life, ever since I smashed little Matchbox vehicles against one another as a child and made comics about sentient cars.

There's no prior franchise experience necessary. If you're a connoisseur of action films, you miiiight want to try being in the best theater you can find this weekend. I just can't wait to see it again and am gonna do so as soon as possible.

As far as performances, Tom Hardy makes a fine Max, Charlize Theron's Furiosa is up there with Ripley as one of the most badass women in sci-fi, and Nicholas Hoult's Nux is very entertaining. The dude who plays Immortan Joe (he was in the first Mad Max, too) is just perfect, the kind of larger-than-life big boss whom you can imagine inspiring lifelong devotion. Whether or not the story boasts a "feminist agenda" in having a number of strong female characters is up to the eye of the beholder, but it didn't bother this cis, straight man. If you want my real opinion, I think the gender-war-fueled backlash is all hyperbole designed to sell more tickets, and anyone offended enough to not want to see THE FIRST MAD MAX FILM IN 30 YEARS probably needs to have their man card snapped in half.

I really want to congratulate everyone involved in the production of this film. I don't even mind if this ends up being the last great action film, but wouldn't it be grand if this was really just the start of a new breed of action films? I'm really, really hoping that Miller gets a chance to make the sequels that he already has scripts and storyboards for. Tom Hardy is apparently signed on for another three films. I say BRING 'EM ON! Valhalla awaits!!… Expand

Up front, I enjoyed it. Puts the Fast and Furious movies to complete shame. And I enjoyed the original too. It’s an entertaining series, and we’ve got some worthy new lead actors to carry the story forward. Kudos to the production.
However,Up front, I enjoyed it. Puts the Fast and Furious movies to complete shame. And I enjoyed the original too. It’s an entertaining series, and we’ve got some worthy new lead actors to carry the story forward. Kudos to the production.
However, I’m shooting for the tires of all those “10” ratings out there.
First, the movie is essentially a car (truck) chase, which makes it difficult to give dynamic range to the drama – it’s always on pretty loud.
Second, the performances are good given this context, but hardly stand as masterpieces of character acting.
Third, let’s keep our powder dry and acknowledge that 8 or 9 is a worthy score for this movie. If you give Fury Road a 10, what does Raging Bull, or The Godfather Part II, or, if you want to stick to sci-fi, Inception or The Terminator, deserve? Or, if you want a bizarre, violent chase out of the Western genre, what does The Good, The Bad and The Ugly get, if this is a 10?
Fourth, the action-heavy and dialogue-light nature of this genre – and this is a genre film – leaves you with few memorable lines. Without that, it is harder to have memorable scenes. How do we build a shared shorthand around this “classic”? Do we use phrases like “the scene where he got the mask off his face” or “when Max gave her the gun because she was the better shot”? It is not impossible, but it is difficult.
So, go to this movie and enjoy its entertainment value, but let’s not elevate too many comics to classics.… Expand

The movie is an absolute must-see - let's get that out of the way from the top. For me, it's probably the best, most artistic action film since the original Matrix. Furiosa (Charlize Theron) is clearly the best heroine since Ripley in the Alien films. Going in, I figured the action would be fatiguing, and the desert backdrop would get samey after a while, but I couldn't have been more wrong on both counts. Miller's inventiveness knows know bounds. If I had to point to a slightly weak link in the chain, it would be the Immortan Joe character. No doubt, he's fun to look at and provides some of the comedy, but as a character, he is not nearly as personally threatening as the chief baddies in the original Mad Max and Road Warrior flicks. But the supreme creativity and the acrobatics in the driving sequences are so over-the-top phenomenal, you'll be conscious of the silly grin on your face when things finally let up and you allow yourself to exhale.… Expand

I was really disappointed in Mad Max. The budget is certainly apparent on screen, which is pretty to look at, but it felt wasted against a bland story with no plot.

Where the first 2 Mad Max movies pull you in, Thunderdome and this one areI was really disappointed in Mad Max. The budget is certainly apparent on screen, which is pretty to look at, but it felt wasted against a bland story with no plot.

Where the first 2 Mad Max movies pull you in, Thunderdome and this one are not of the same Canon. I cant remember a single line that Max says, and to be honest, I don't get the hype for Theron. She never seemed that crazed, threatening, or powerful to me. Who are we really supposed to care for here?

The movie certainly is not without its good attributes. It is colored and shot beautifully, but is so thin every where else, the stunts and practical effects are wasted.

I wanted more Max, I wanted a follow up to that great scene at the end of "Road Warrior" where its just Max and the "Road". This outing borders on cartoonish, and isn't brutal in any way. Where we are supposed to feel fear, and stress at the mass of pursuit vehicles, all i kept thinking was, "Where do they get all the headlights?", or "for an apocalyptic wasteland, they seem to have no lack of tires or car parts". It just didn't feel in anyway remotely believable.

Many others have already said that it felt like a two-hour movie trailer. Save your money and just watch the trailer on repeat for an hour and you have it.

With the slower scenes feeling more like it was placed there for you to catch your breath and have your heartbeat return to normal. Tom Hardy becomes even more bad-a$$ in his performance as Max. Charlize Theron casually reminds the world how amazing she is with a flawless performance!

Overall a must watch. The movie is pretty much a 2 hour EPIC chase scene. Yeah there are a few moments of "hmm I guess it's okay they didn't totally acknowledge why a certain character is so quick to accept a few things given their background" but if they addressed every little thing then we would have a very different movie. Go See Mad Max in theaters, you won't regret it!… Expand

Unfortunately, all of this style never amounts to anything more than a car chase. The characters look great, but we don't know much about them besides where they live and how they dress. Furiosa and Max are like blanks where I suppose the viewer is supposed to fill themselves in. You're meant to want to BE Furiosa or Max, not KNOW the characters.

Underneath all of this caked on superficiality, there's a vague anti-authoritarian message that's drowned out by guitar-flamethrowers and revving engines. I was really interested to learn more about that and to see Max, Furiosa, and Nux do something besides fight, drive, and shoot.… Expand

It has an interesting, unique, plot but the plot is really just there to drive the action and WOW what an action movie it is. Its one of the best I've ever seen, from start

to end the pacing is spot on, it builds and builds to an epic climax, then gives you a minute to get your breath back and then off it goes again. Tom Hardy suits the

character of Max brilliantly, he doesn't have a lot to say, but its not really that kind of movie with long exposition and dialogue, for the first part of the movie he has

a clamp around his face so his mannerisms and actions say more than his words. Charlize Theron plays a really strong character as Furiosa and pulls it off perfectly, the

two characters work really well together and some of the other characters are surprisingly good.

It looks like a Max Max film should, the sets, costumes, special effects and stunts fit the Mad Max world perfectly and it all fits together to make it an absolute blast to

watch. Dont miss this! I'll be going back to watch it a second time in a 4DX theater.… Expand

we have suffered from the regular action movies through the last few years. but this one finally comes with something that is really fresh & epic.
Very fine acting, Tom hardy once again proves that he is one of the best actors of his generation and really did a badass & tough Max, Charlize Theron shined with Furiosa and put her soul to appreciate this heroine, remember this little kid from the movie " about a boy " who called Nicholas Hoult ! in Fury Road you will see him as you never seen him before when you watch his very insane portrayal of Nux. and that Toecutter who called Hugh Keays-Byrne surely will give you a boner with Immortan Joe because his performance was very terrifying but in a good way.
This movie owes a lot to his bloody incredible stunts, if the academy award made a new category for stunts even for once ! this movie should win it.
the soundtrack & the visuals are awesome and fit the crazy world of the wasteland.
a highly recommended for everyone, especially the fans of the original Mad Max trilogy. I guarantee you won't waste your time
Believe the hype, this movie is not only the best one of this summer. honestly this the best action movie of the decade and establish his position as one of the best action movies ever made. putting his name alongside huge flicks like Terminator 2 & The Matrix.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw as a screener (for free), without any real expectations, and having not looked into any early reviews. In the end I spent most of the movie making snide comments to my friends and laughing at how implausible and poorly thought out it was, wishing there was a plot. It did become so ridiculous it was fun once in a while, but mostly it was just pointless and weird. I proceeded to check the reviews online when I got home thinking "this movie is going to get destroyed" - but no, everyone LOVES it?!! After reading about the "practical" stunts etc. - sure I'm impressed, but I still think overall the movie is so stupid that I signed up for a metacritic account just to say so! I could generate a list of 100 ways this is ridiculous (like if bullets and gas were in limited supply, why is everyone shooting guns and flamethrowers into the sky?) I truly felt nothing for these characters and was quite glad when it ended (with the "good guys" just dumping all the water into the desert!). There are other reviews here that more accurately capture why this movie makes no sense (look for the red reviews) - I just wanted to express my confusion as to the widespread acclaim for this movie. I guess I just missed the point.… Expand

Fantastic movie according to most people, kind of crappy not function mess according to others.

Why the artistic spin in the middle of the movie? We switch rock music, explosions and car races for symphonic music, monochromatic shots and "deep" life messages? That part broke the movie for me.
Then we continue with more explosions and races, but now with circus performance like stunts? Where that come from and why it is in mad max?
Why is there this feminist narrative : evil old diseased white guys destroyed the world and with army of violent fanatic white guys enslaved people. luckily are brought down by few of virtuous women.
so deep message, so progressive, so original...
Lets not skip plot holes and realism, it was supposed to be action movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a disappointing re-boot of a classic, low budget original.In fact, it disrespects the original. In the original Mad Max, the lead character was actually mad, angry. In this re-boot he isn't even the lead. Furiosa is , and she is the Alpha. Mad max is along for a ride in this uber feminist take on this idea of a post apocalyptic, gas obsessed world. But wait, you say, the idea behind this film is that strong women can stand up to tyranny and create a better world, one that doesn't even contain men. Ok, so why is the Utopian green place dry up, most of the women dead, and their solution is to turned back to take over Joes' empire? Isn't this ending a slap in the face of feminism, as portrayed in this film? Women couldn't do it on their own so they took what a man created, but they are going to make it a better, gentler place? Don't get me started on the symbolism of the hot wives, in the desert, spraying themselves with the second most important liquid in this fantasy world, water , spilling it all over, drinking it , spitting it out. A symbolism for male seed and the value, or lack their of, that the modern feminist movement places on men? You decide. There are lots of little anti-male nuggets in this film.

Come on! First, feminism, by its very definition is equal pay for equal work. period. It's NOT about male roles vs female roles ( or stereotypes ). Second, who says women are kinder and gentler in an post apocalyptic world? Lots of examples of women that get drunk on money and power in today's society, why are they held in a better light in Mad Max vs the men? This is all misguided feminism. I guess, since women are better at their core then men, they really don't fart or pop either. Stupid drivel.… Expand

First, it’s a dystopian world, squalor, misery, disease and oppression, I get it. However, these (and I use the word loosely) people, were so grotesque, so monstrous, so gruesome, so aberrant, they presented a world that I could not even root for the protagonists to survive in. It was such a world of dread and vulgar mutants my depression overwhelmed my ability to separate it out and simply enjoy the visuals. Speaking of visuals, there were stunts like we’ve never seen before. However, to achieve this never seen before quality, the stunts were totally preposterous. Every law of physics, gravity, logic, cause and effect, were breathtakingly violated. In this world seemingly comprised of only rabid dogs shaped into human form, who the hell refined the infinite amount of gasoline they used? Who were the mechanics and auto body experts that built and maintained all of the crap they used??? What did the multitude of thousands of depraved thirst starved inhabitants do when they were not all gathered at the rock tower of water dispensation? Farmers? Factory workers? Business owners? This world assaulted my logic to the degree that it pulled me out of the mindset the storyteller wanted me to lose myself in. Overall? Simply depressing.… Expand

I don't demand moreI can't remember the last time I was so disappointed in a move. I expected to love this movie - I love the originals specifically (first two more than the third, obviously) and sci-fi and post apocalyptic movies generally. I don't demand more than the skimpiest of plots in them as long as I care about whether the people live or die as we go on their journey with them. And in this movie I really didn't care.

In the original movies, I cared about Max and understood his pain. In 1, I knew why he was in the situation he was in and I knew why he did what he did, even while I wanted him to be better. In 2, I cared about the other people in the settlement and I wanted them to understand that Max was a good guy deep down and wanted them to accept him. I cared about Max's dog and what happened to him more than I cared about any human character at all in this new movie.

Yes, the movie looked incredible, but all it did was take a bunch of undeniably incredible set pieces and then flap about looking for a plot to string them together. This was like a two hour trailer for a movie I felt I WOULD like to watch, because in the actual movie there would have been something to make me care one jot for the people in it. And I just didn't.… Expand

Mad Max gets taken very easily taken by a raiders gang ( you know the guy that has survived the wastelands for decades) and proceeds to be taken prisoner by a gang that are incapable of being the least bit articulate or show any intelligence. Yet they are somehow able to build and maintain various cars able to produce agriculture, make elaborate costumes, manipulate and control it's citizens and be organized enough to create a functioning society with working technology. I won't even mention how the way blood is transfused in this is impossible and wouldn't really work. Also the environment and costumes in this movie makes no sense what there is no resources left but you can make all of these elaborate costumes and machines. There were scenes in this movie where I literally had to stop myself from laughing like the breastfeeding scenes with plastic tubes and then cut to a midget in a highchair with a telescope. But to be honest the only reason anyone likes this film is because of the action which to be fair is really good but there is only so much bad one dimensional characters and silly character design I can handle before something is too stupid too watch.… Expand

I like simple, entertaining action movies (Shogun Assassin, any late 70's zombie movie,I really, truly do not understand how this movie is getting rave reviews. It's basically a 2-hour long trailer. I'm still waiting for a story to begin. I like simple, entertaining action movies (Shogun Assassin, any late 70's zombie movie, The Warriors), but this was a gratuitously long music video for a clown playing one guitar chord.

Within the first 3 minutes I kept asking myself "Why is this artificially sped up?" My hunch was that the old movies (which I haven't seen) did that. Later research confirmed this. This was probably a cool effect back in the 70s, but in the post-Transformers world of barely-coherent editing in action sequences, it just makes things so much worse.

Other than Max, each character's name is uttered maybe once, amidst screaming and car crashing, so I didn't know anyone's name until I looked it up later.

Almost all of the eleven lines in this movie are delivered with the melodramatic heft of a Spanish soap opera. I laughed at most of them. No one else in the theater did, which alarmed me. I think I counted 20 words from Max's mouth. His brow is furrowed the entire time.

This movie is described as "ultra-violent", yet if you take out 3 or 4 of the shots with blood, it's mostly pale dudes bouncing off of cars for 2 hours. It's more like a live-action Looney Tunes flick. Could have definitely gotten a PG-13 if desired, but that probably wouldn't have been edgy enough.

Seriously, just a few scenes of dialogue could have established the world, and the problems, but the opening narration is just "i am max. i run and stuff." I've dropped into other franchises with sequels first and never felt like I was missing a wealth of knowledge and unable to understand their world. Mad Max's world makes no sense to me, which again, is fine and a decision on behalf of the creators. But you need to give me SOME reason why characters are making the inane decisions that they do, otherwise everyone comes across as purely stupid.

I fell asleep during the last 20 minutes, so I'm not sure how it ended and I don't really care.

The effects are quite good (minus the fast-forward effect), and some of the set pieces are really cool. I dug the intro action sequence (though it basically never ends). The music is literally one symphonic swell with a palm-muted guitar chord over it.… Expand

As of today “Mad Max: Fury Road” holds the title for ‘the loudest movie of 2015’ though from what I saw of summer previews it may not hold it for too long!

It has been 30 years since the original Mad Max trilogy and memory may be wrong butAs of today “Mad Max: Fury Road” holds the title for ‘the loudest movie of 2015’ though from what I saw of summer previews it may not hold it for too long!

It has been 30 years since the original Mad Max trilogy and memory may be wrong but I remember a deeper and more involving story along with a young Mel Gibson showing more emotion than the current Max played by Tom Hardy. I have heard and read a lot about Mr. Hardy in the past couple of years but I think I have only seen him in two movies those being “Inception” and “Dark Knight Rises” but I have no recollection of him in either. The camera gives him a lot of close ups in this film so I am sure I will recognize him in future films.

Getting an equal amount of face time, if not a little more, and the only reason I went to see this film is Charlize Theron, who plays Imperator Furiosa, looks great even with a dirty face, raccoon eye makeup, short cropped black hair and a mechanical left hand and is the equal, if not better, than any man hero! Her eyes are a movie, without CGI effects, on their own.

The first five minutes of “Mad Max: Fury Road” are quiet and then the incessant loud music, the races, car chases, one action scene after another begin to wear the audience down. Within a 2 hour movie there might be 15 minutes total without mayhem in every form possible. It reached a point that I was wondering how many scenes were done in front of a green screen, how many were fake, how many were performed by stunt people all the while that long music ruled by drums fills the auditorium. There is one remarkable scene of just Hardy raising up from the desert sand that made me think “WOW”!

With a huge cast the standouts are Theron, Nathan Jones, Nicholas Hoult, the 5 wives, especially Riley Keough and trust me, you won’t want to meet any of the female sexagenarians in a dark alley or the desert!

The direction by George Miller offers every action fans dreams while the screenplay by Miller, Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris is simple. It is said Miller already has the next Mad Max film prepped named Furiosa and, if true, I hope it brings back Theron.

After “The Avengers” last week and this week “mad Max” I can honestly say I have had my fill of ‘summer blockbusters.’… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply the worst movie I have seen in years. Filling 2 hours with non-stop action does not make a movie good. Especially if the action is repetitive (pale guys jumping on and off a truck). Sometimes you can guess the movie was filmed at a very low speed and was later accelerated in the montage, like when the cars flip over.
The wives don't fit in the picture, apparently they just wanted to add some spice to the movie. It gets funny when they attempt to act. Of course, one of the wives is pregnant and her belly starts to hurt at a quite unpleasant time, sad coincidence.
You come out of the theater asking yourself what the hell you just spent 2 hours looking at. Definitely not a masterpiece, even if all critics around the world seem to think otherwise. It's in fact so bad that i signed up to metacritic just to write a honest review about how bad it was.
Apparently if you write a random hyperbole about a oil-monarchy and how unfair it is to its peasants with some totally random heros fighting it, you are guaranteed of success. It's so deep because I can relate it easily to the world i live in without having to think too much. Masterpiece. Bravo.

put your theater money in the blender, it'll be more entertaining and less time consuming.… Expand

1) There is no story and hardly any dialogue in thisI have been a fan of all 3 Mad Max movies and watched each of them several times over. However, I hated this movie and almost walked out half way through it for the following reasons.
1) There is no story and hardly any dialogue in this movie. There are few references to what Charlize Theron is trying to do and I understand why, but it is quickly forgotten and lost in the action.
2) I realized half way through the movie that I didn't care about a single character (even Max). There is very little character development other than displaying how each one shoots a gun or stabs at another character. They could have blown up the world and the bonus is the movie would have been over sooner.
3) The movie went to far over the top with deformed, ugly, degenerate human beings. They even cut all of Charlize's hair off and if that wasn't enough, let's amputate her left arm at the elbow. Lost opportunity for nice eye candy in the movie.
4) I got tired of looking at my watch every 30 minutes.

1 star for some decent action scenes which dominate the movie and become monotonous as they blur into each other.… Expand

The scenes people are saying were so intense never once got my heart pumping BECAUSE I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE CHARACTERS. Oh, and those intense scenes left me saying to myself, why would they do that?? That was just an excuse to run one car into the other, an excuse to blow something up, an excuse to...I was constantly being reminded that I was not "in" the movie. The original Mad Max made you feel that you were in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Fuel was a rare resource, One wouldn't drive down the road spraying a flame thrower at nothing just to see it light up. They did in this flick because it was about impressing the kiddies and less about making the post-apoc landscape believable. The vehicles in this movie weren't impressive, they were just...silly.

Sorry, I can't subscribe to the notion that this movie worth the price of admission. My popcorn was the best part of this movie. /sad

If you want a great Tom Hardy movie, do yourself a favor and check out Lawless. He was fantastic in that one. I highly recommend it. In Mad Max Fury Road Tom Hardy could have been a regular street person randomly chosen from the crowd to act out this part. The fact that the main character was Tom Hardy was completely lost and wasted.… Expand

Another gender studies essay on the big screen designed to appeal to a new demographic of social justice warriors who couldn't tell a good movie if it hit them in the face. Another rehash of "girls can do anything guys can do, stop oppressingAnother gender studies essay on the big screen designed to appeal to a new demographic of social justice warriors who couldn't tell a good movie if it hit them in the face. Another rehash of "girls can do anything guys can do, stop oppressing us, misogyny is bad!" themes that are so prevalent these days that the media is saturated with it. This has truly become a cliche and in several years will be parodied.… Expand

Fury Road is not a film but more of an exercise on how to hype up a film and extent one the chase scene from Road Warrior for a whole 2 hr film. Miller was 40 I think when he made the brilliant road warrior and he's was near 70 when he madeFury Road is not a film but more of an exercise on how to hype up a film and extent one the chase scene from Road Warrior for a whole 2 hr film. Miller was 40 I think when he made the brilliant road warrior and he's was near 70 when he made this effort and it shows where movies are going unfortunately ie confused and over the top and it's a shame Miller in his dotage sort of pissed on his classic the road warrior with this non story stunt extravaganza.
Do know what Mad Max had Charlie past it Theron in it either for? Didn't do the film any favours and you wondered who was supposed to be the main character. I think Miller should have retired along time ago as the Mad Max name was obviously just put in there to cash in.… Expand

Hardly any character development....Really confused why a movie titled "Mad Max" wouldn't have Max as the main character. As they say, you can't beat the original, and this definitely doesn't come close. Really disappointed.

Terrible filters, disgustingly poor acting, very little taste and coherence in design and literally no character development. Also no plot, far too little dialogue, (what little dialogue there was, was incoherent rubbish). I am seriously confused as to how everyone likes this film? I seriously sat there wondering if I was shown a different film to the one critics and people are calling amazing. I'm truly, truly perplexed. You will NOT enjoy this movie if you enjoy good cinema, if you appreciate cinematic masterpieces like Interstellar, or wild stylish films like Kingsman:The Secret Service, , I guarantee you will HATE this film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. -MAD Max Fury Road-
Ce film est un excellent cru.
Malgré le fait est que je ne suis pas un grand Fan de la série originel. J’arrive à apprécier celui-ci.
Fury Road hésite entre rebot et suite et nous piétine dans la compréhension de ses personnages, Mais après quelque réflexion. [spoiler] On se retrouve finalement avec 2 personnages principale qui raconte et possédé la même histoire « La RÉDEMPTION » après avoir compris cela on n’arrive facilement à gober cette fin ou MAX disparaît dans les fines l’âme du désert et de la foule. Sa rédemption n’est pas accomplie .... [/spoiler] ?#?SuiteAu2?
Mais parlons du film en lui même. Ce film est une course poursuite pendant toute la longueur du film a pied pendant l’introduction et tout le reste en voiture camion etc. Les couleurs sont très flash un peut comme les vêtements des années 80. On a deux couleur prédominante l’Orange qui accentue les explosions avec brio (pourtant orange et rouge ne sont pas très distinctif entre eux, mais le film le fait bien) Ensuite on à un filtre Bleu pour accentuer les coups de feu notamment les blancs. mais j’ai été déçus par le fait que la lune produit des ombres impossibles j’imagine qu’ils on donc tournait en plein jour, mais c’est beaucoup trop visible et ça ma perturber.
La 3D et tout simplement sublime beaucoup d’effet et des choses fun (le studio de production c’est complètement amusé même si je ne parle pas de la guitare ceux qui l’on vu me comprendrons) et la tempête de sable est vraiment impressionnante
Les musiques sont bonnes et son dans la plupart des cas synchronisés avec l’action ce que j’adore (je me souviens encore de DJANGO et de sa chorégraphie ?#?Magic? ).
Pour le Doby Atmos le début survient et vous le jeté en plein dedans avec un effet de spatialisation qui vous perd afin de vous faire comprendre que max Délire ... mais plus le film avance moins il y en a et c’est dommage car les explosions peuvent faire vraiment de bel effet. Si la camera tournait autour du personnage et que ce qu’on ne voyait pas continuer a nous perturber dans les enceintes au-dessus de nous et derrière avec des lumières sur le visage du personnage principal ça pourrait être trop énorme. Grâce au son on comprendrait qu’il se passe quelque chose et grâce aux effets de réflexion dans les yeux on pourrait tous voire. Mais bon pour cet effet dont je rêve, il faudra peux être attendre les Wachowski sur un futur Matrix qui sait ....… Expand
