Mad Max: Fury Road

I wouldn't call this a movie. I'd call it Gomez Addams blowing up model trains. I'd call it a music video. I'd call it violence porn. I'd call it a perfect example of what current day movie making has become, an empty room full of echoes.I wouldn't call this a movie. I'd call it Gomez Addams blowing up model trains. I'd call it a music video. I'd call it violence porn. I'd call it a perfect example of what current day movie making has become, an empty room full of echoes. Mad Max: Fury Road makes zombie flick Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead seem like the Casablanca of the 21st century. And most of all it reveals the Academy Awards to be a sad, pathetic joke.

Mad Max: Fury Road isn't so much a film as a music video, as it has lots of choreography and hardly any story worth notice.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What an awful movie, I've seen terrible movies before, but this one it's definitely in my Top 10 worst movies I've seen. It's just a car chase, they leave the first place, to another, running away from the bad guy, then the other place it's not what they remembered and they're disappointed, they come back to the start and kill the bad guy in the process. Almost no dialogue, the unnecessary guitar player in every other take, and that's it, Mad Max does almost nothing, he just shows up and says nothing for the entire movie. Ah, and some pregnant girls appear. I don't see why for people it's the best movie ever. Just because a movie has a car chase, lots of guns and lots of crazy people in it, doesn't make it a great movie, let alone a decent movie, just awful and with no significant story line whatsoever.… Expand

It is all the worse because I consider the first two films in the installment classics; especially Road Warrior. These films had a visceral emotion that, in retrospect, I had no right to expect from anything made with today's technology. What is strikingly shocking is that this film does offer some "real" stunts...but they're worthless unless you appreciate them in a vacuum. The movie is a complete mess: Max is a eunuch, unable to muster even a single moment of greatness, a single line of dialogue worth remembering, or even a reason to pull for him. The rest of the characters are completely lacking of development; and women are either used and abused, or superheroes (how, we don't know) that have survived in the wasteland...waiting for what? Charize to come along and lead them? It's absolute garbage, that leads to nowhere..over and over again. Watch a real movie: Road Warrior, The Good the Bad and The Ugly; hell, watch El Mariachi (I'm serious)....and have fun with two+hours of your life.… Expand

If anyone says they like this movie, then I'm sorry but I ain't listening to any other movie critiques you have. There's no tension, over-dramatic characters that turn into white noise after a few minutes, and the slowest plot development I've ever seen in a movie, it takes more than half the movie to even know what the hell is going on and whose side you should even be on. I hate this movie with a passion but props to the low-standard individuals who found some enjoyment out of it.… Expand

It's feminist **** said to the fullest meaning. This movie is only great for the first 30 minutes until the "plot" kicks in and you see it as just a shameless Liberal Feminist film which it is and it tries to hide it with violent action but the action fails also. Bad guys fall like dominoes, the "good guys" have some sort of invincibility force field around them. It was just a bad movie, I'm not sure why critics are praising it's plot is it new? no is it predictable? yes! Seems like a movie made for Call of Duty players generic action and the protagonist is so underdeveloped at the first start I felt bad for him cause he was in pain but minutes later I couldn't care any less what happened to him cause he was just the generic-action protagonist along with the generic "beautiful girls" (who I thought were cliche and overdone) The whole movie just falls apart. Mad Max has been ruined by Feminism. Most of the movie doesn't even have any meaningful plot it's all just "OH LOOK EXPLOSIONS COOL!" "THAT GUY GOT SHOT AWESOME" kind of narration that drives the entire film and I wish I was exaggerating. It's like Twisted Metal but in movie form and the special effects sometimes were irritating. I couldn't feel like the protagonists were endanger at all because of how under powered the other guys were. I hope if there is a sequel it abandons this feminist-action hybrid formula and just focuses on action with an actual story and not old concepts added into a new adventure like this one did.… Expand

Literal trash.

If it's supposed to be feminist film it does a bad job at portraying a feminist vision. You got enslaved women who are purposely impregnated just to have a source of food (milk) that never get freed, sex slaves that get freedLiteral trash.

If it's supposed to be feminist film it does a bad job at portraying a feminist vision. You got enslaved women who are purposely impregnated just to have a source of food (milk) that never get freed, sex slaves that get freed only to go somewhere to be forced to partake in "divine femininity", and a Mary Sue tough as nails character they just exists to gain a female audience.

I'm sorry but that is far from a feminist film.

I will not even say the director of photography was that good either, there are no memorable scenes other than the hypocritical garbage I've talked about.

Dune Chapter 1 is ACTUALLY a visually impressive film albeit poorly written because it's broken up in parts and unwatchable without the full story, but you get my drift.

I am uncertain what exactly to rate Mad Max Fury Road, it's a bad film for me. Action is serviceable, but nothing great. I have seen far worse films though, so this review must be higher than other garbage.… Expand

Another boring movie, no interesting story, no interesting characters, main character just don't like to talk, typical action movie from 90's but with modern graphics and nostalgia effect for fans. Even Marvel 12+ movies are better. What a waste...

Pour un triple A qui envoit tout ce qu'il a, la mise en scène est très correcte... ce qui ne veut pas dire qu'il y ait une quelconque légitimité à gueuler au miracle cinématographique mais on en prend plein les yeux et les oreilles, c'est certain.

Cet aspect (assez flatteur) étant réglé, Fury Road est une coquille bien vide dont le scénario inepte se résume à un aller-retour avec des bagnoles qui explosent, des accidents, des cascades et des harpons. En fait, seul le premier quart d'heure avec ses nombreux figurants, son canyon et sa bande de tarés, tout l'environnement post-apocalypse avec en prémisse la voix off de Max laissait espérer le retour à la magie des deux premiers. Hélas, on déchante brutalement après cette belle ouverture.

Le personnage de Charlize Theron n'a pas d'intérêt mais part d'une bonne intention (l'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions). Quant à Max, je ne crois pas qu'il puisse être interprété par n'importe qui... on dira ce qu'on veut sur Mel Gibson mais c'est Mel Gibson bordel ! ainsi Tom Hardy campe un Max le dingue bien pâlichon et si ce n'était son action débridée quasi-permanente, ce Fury Road a perdu tout le cynisme et la folie même du monde qui l'entoure.

Malgré sa technique triple boum-boum, on ne va pas tourner autour du pot : ce Mad Max 4 est une grosse merde superficielle et pleine d'esbrouffe : tout dans la gueule, rien dans le sac.… Expand

Besides a poor storyline and 2 full hours of combat and action that gets increasingly boring, Mad Max can only impress with Costume Design and Setting.

The film has a simple story, but it is simple and very well told and efficient, full of social criticism, destruction of the environment for the purpose of domination, deconstruction of the lone wolf that saves the girl in the end, the comparison of humans in tools system, enslavement of women for reproductive and merely sexual purposes, mental manipulation of young people for sacrifice in the name of a god.
