It had little substance, and was more of a spectacle, which I guess is good too. However, It thought because of this the character development was a little weak, and although fun, the action was relentless. Some of it was needlessly disgusting and unnecessary.

In short, I thought the movie was fun and visually stunning, but not much to it, and it's not the film you come out of and talk/think about. Hard to believe it was directed by a seventy-year-old.… Expand

It's George Miller's attempt to reignite his long dormant Mad Max franchise... and my god does he ever. He single handedly delivers our saving grace in the genre of action with a blind zombie playing a fire breathing electric guitar on the back of an oil rig. If you don't love that, than why do you watch action films?

An incredible, relentless, adrenaline fueled action thrill ride that's an absolute blast to watch. Hardy, Theron and Hoult are all great also. Definitely one of the best action movies of the decade so far.

But besides that amazing action, they gave borderline breathing space for the action which is just enough to don't turn you off, the story is completely distiled to it's essence and much is told visually which is amazing achievement, the music is 10/10, the movie is incredible satisfying and you feel it was worth more than the ticket price.

I wasn't disappointed. Now, it was a bit short on plot but as a spectacle, it was stunning. The action scenes were amazingly done, and when they move away from the action to focus on the story for a while, it's no less compelling. Now, don't watch it expecting a completely original, thought-provoking masterpiece that will leave you thinking about life. Watch it expecting a fun, visually stunning action movie with interesting characters (though some are a little underdeveloped) and so much action, you won't believe it was directed by a 70-year-old (let alone, the 70-year-old who directed "Happy Feet"!). All in all, a good movie.… Expand

-Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 action film directed and produced by George Miller, and written by Miller, Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. The fourth instalment in the Mad Max franchise, it is an Australian and American venture produced-Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 action film directed and produced by George Miller, and written by Miller, Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. The fourth instalment in the Mad Max franchise, it is an Australian and American venture produced by Kennedy Miller Mitchell, RatPac-Dune Entertainment and Village Roadshow Pictures. The film is set in a future desert wasteland where gasoline and water are scarce commodities. It follows Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), who joins forces with Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to flee from cult leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and his army in an armoured tanker truck, which leads to a lengthy road battle. The film also features Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee, and Courtney Eaton.

--Critical reception:

-Mad Max: Fury Road received widespread critical acclaim. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 97% approval rating and rating average score of 8.8 out of 10 based on 348 reviews. The site's consensus reads, "With exhilarating action and a surprising amount of narrative heft, Mad Max: Fury Road brings George Miller's post-apocalyptic franchise roaring vigorously back to life." On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating, the film has a score of 90 out of 100 based on 51 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade cinema audiences gave the film was a "B+" on an A+ to F scale. Some critics have named Mad Max: Fury Road one of the greatest action films ever made.

-The film has also been praised by feminist critics on several fronts, including the dominant role taken by Furiosa and the range of atypical female roles including the wives and the gun-toting Vuvalini.

--Sequels:

-In 2011, Miller and McCarthy found during the writing process for Fury Road that they had enough story material for two additional scripts. One of these, entitled Mad Max: Furiosa, had already been completed, and Miller hoped to film it after the release of Fury Road. In March 2015, during an interview with Esquire, Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in four more Mad Max films following Fury Road. In May 2015, Miller told Wired: "Should Fury Road be successful, I've got two other stories to tell." Later in May, Miller revealed that plans for the sequel had changed and the next instalment will instead be titled Mad Max: The Wasteland. In October 2015, Miller revealed in an interview with TopGear.com that they had two scripts for sequels which they ended up with during the writing process. Later in October in an interview with Digital Spy, he revealed that Furiosa won't appear in the sequel and clarified that Mad Max: The Wasteland is just a working title for the sequel. Miller reaffirmed his intent to continue the franchise after reports to the contrary surfaced following an interview in January 2016.… Expand

Nos introducen a Mad Max (Tom Hardy) siendoCon una impresionante fotografía, banda sonora, efectos visuales y grandes dosis de acción “Mad Max: Fury Road” se convierte en una de los mejores films de persecución de la historia del cine.
Nos introducen a Mad Max (Tom Hardy) siendo capturado por los War Boys, un grupo que rinde culto a Immortal Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), un líder tirano que dirige una pequeña sociedad en un mundo post apocalíptico. El protagonista queda atrapado en medio de una misión del opresor que inicia un convoy para conseguir gasolina y municiones.
Durante el viaje se desata la caza de Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), una comandante de Immortal Joe. Ella secuestra a sus esposas con el fin de rescatarlas y llevarlas al Paraje Verde, aprovechando el caos Max se une al escuadrón de chicas en búsqueda de su libertad.
La película tiene muchos puntos a favor, además de los ya mencionados, suma bastante el rol de Max, siendo un héroe silencioso que de cierta forma es más un espectador que un líder. La actuación es soberbia, hay mucho trabajo de parte de los actores y la dirección para que sean las miradas y los gestos el principal medio de comunicación.
Un punto cuestionable es la escasa información que nos brinda la historia, hay muchos elementos sueltos que quedan a para especulación o dar por sentado, pues en ningún punto la película vuelve sobre sus pasos.
Si buscas entretenimiento “Mad Max: Fury Road” es una excelente elección, es un largometraje muy vertiginoso, con escenas impactantes y acción con mucha testosterona.… Expand

I love movies that can suck me into there world, without forcefully showing me everything, with overly long opening tracking shots, or a lot of exposition. Mad Max certainly doesn't have a lot of one of those. If you wrote down all of TomI love movies that can suck me into there world, without forcefully showing me everything, with overly long opening tracking shots, or a lot of exposition. Mad Max certainly doesn't have a lot of one of those. If you wrote down all of Tom Hardy's dialogue, it would roughly be the length of a couple of greeting cards. He takes after the Terminator, in T-2. Only interested in completing his goals, working with the few words he needs. Until of course he comes across people who don't speak in grunts, and he must expand his vocabulary. The great things about this movie is that it knows how you are suppose to use CGI for action sequences. Most action movies feel that bigger is better, and immediately construct a 30 story metal larva eating the Himalayas. I know computer animation takes a lot of work and takes enormous effort, but the sods who make animators go through all this are the ones I blame. Mad Max: Fury Road understands that CGI is the frosting on the cake. Making every bit of car crash feel more crisp, which works because they actually made a car crash first. If you just make a car crash using nothing but CGI, you are just making your cake with nothing but frosting. Yes we all like frosting but what's wrong with the cake batter you were using Michael Bay.
Just going to move on from that paragraph now, it was getting out of hand. If you haven't heard this yet the action in Mad Max 4(y Road) is quite good. Oh that's what you have been hearing since it came out? okay let's talk about other things. Have you heard about Furiosa? Yes? What about the flaming guitar guy? All the time? Well there isn't much more to talk about really. Mad max isn't exactly charming his way through the movie, but he helps fit with the movie's identity of broken consciousness. It's true that his actions are mostly based on survival, so he doesn't talk much because of this. He communicates through looks, like when he is trying to snipe an incoming vehicle, he does these little inflections that indicate he knows that Furiosa is the better choice to use the sniper. Little things like that make the movie. Yes the movie feels like pulse-pounding action, but it actually takes a good amount of pauses to let you breath. Once you have your breath you're ready to go. It would be hard to make this pacing not feel schizophrenic, but George Miller does it. George Miller feels like he deserves a lot of the credit.
The story for this was created using storyboard; this technique is often associated with animated features. This helped them tell their story through visuals with little words. It also gave use some of the best action sequences ever put to film. Really what makes the action feel like a whole other level is everything surrounding it. Pole dancing warriors with exploding sticks wouldn't quite feel right in say the Fast & Furious movies. It needs a production design that shows a world where SNM, post-apocalyptic, flame obsessed nuts rule the world. Also watching a weirdo spray chrome in his mouth is only right when we watch the bizarro culture it came from.
Overall the film provides us with a fascinating, eccentric, but still cruel world for great, or decent characters to blow each other up in. The action is thee past only in the hands of the Mad Max world.… Expand

At the same time new Mad Max is essentially a stretched two hours Short chronologically located between the first and the second films of the original trilogy. It is indicative that the script is represented by the 3,500 storyboards. So it turns out that too much action makes look heroes unexamined, their actions often are not motivated, and some dialogues do not cause anything but a confusion. And even such lightweight script manages to include the typical large blockbusters logical blunders. But do not care, it is a great attraction - the madness in its purest form!… Expand

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

However, the happy ending and the general tone of the film, apart from one twist that is surprising enough, are not dark and bitter as they should for such a movie, and for such a setting. The title "Mad Max" is somewhat misleading, the true heroin of the story being Furiosa, who makes all the important decisions and has way more character development than Max. But that's not really a problem, since he doesn't seem to have a lot of personality. Anyway, Mad Max is one helluva show, and probably one of the best action flicks I've seen for a long time.

Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron both do great as Max and Furiosa, the protagonists. Although Mel Gibson was perfect as Max, he isn't missed here cos' Hardy is spot-on. Inmortan Joe makes for a great villain and is actually developed, unlike recent action films like Avengers: Age of Ultron or Ant-Man (The latter one was great, though). The film is brillantly directed by George Miller, who also wrote the script. The pacing is great.
Really surprised by this one, it's already on Blu-Ray, so buy it or rent it, and enjoy!… Expand

But this movie doesn't waste time and when the movie does have dialogue it is impact-ful. Nicholas Hoult was a welcome edition, I did not know it was him until about an hour into the movie. There are some parts of this movie where I just died laughing but overall this is one of the better action movies I have ever seen. the only one that is better is Aliens.… Expand

I don't want to spoil anything, but Fury Road may be one of the best movies I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, ever. Mad Max blazed a war-path across the media, putting all the bland, pandering, paint-by-the-numbers action movies to shame.

The film follows a simple premise and it sticks to it. The film appropriately in 3D and I think its the best 3D experience I've had. Tom Hardy is the new Max and this is the role he was meant to play. This movie is going to make him a household name and not just "the guy who played Bane". Charlize Theron is just as badass as Hardy and its nice to finally see some women getting the action treatment because that's long overdue. I just could not find anything wrong with this movie. It gets your heart racing and its great visually. I can't wait for a sequel.… Expand

Las escenas de acción son increíbles, fue un placer ver unas secuencias bien hechas y muy bien editadas en post-producción. Tom Hardy es tan buen Max como Mel Gibson y los fans estarán muy satisfechos con el resultado final. Literalmente, esta es la primera pelicula que de verdad, las 2 horas de pelicula son 2 horas de acción pura, emocionante, violenta y frenética.

For the longest time, having watched dozens of action movies, I assumed that you can't possibly make a movie made of pure loud action for two hours straight. Mad Max proved me wrong.

It started with a loud bang and that never stopped untilFor the longest time, having watched dozens of action movies, I assumed that you can't possibly make a movie made of pure loud action for two hours straight. Mad Max proved me wrong.

It started with a loud bang and that never stopped until the credits started rolling. The movie instantly throws the build-up part out of the window, jumping straight to the main point of itself - noise, big cars and explosions. And not the Michael Bay type of explosions for the sake of explosions. Every crash, every hit makes sense.

Character start at near to no relationship to each other. And not a single minute of the movie is spent developing them with nothing going on around. All character traits are revealed and developed during all the mayhem, going on around. And when it isn't shoved in your face, you start to appreciate and understand, what is going on, by yourself.

[Spoilers below]

Even though quite a few character die throughout the movie, we realise that it happens during a massive chase and movie makes sure you don't have time to mourn fallen heroes. A swift move of respect is made before refocusing on the task in hand - trying to survive fire, bullets and spears, heading in your direction.

Brilliant movie, which will make you hold your breath for all 2 hours and make you want more.… Expand

Although as a titular character, he doesn't really do much in this movie. As we all know, Furiosa, played flawlessly by Charlize Theron, is the one who steal the show and she's the reason this movie exist. It is so pleasing to see a powerful female character where this has been an issue lately in hollywood. Although, I think this movie is a little bit predictable for me but watching it surely is one hell of a ride. The action and the car chase sequences are very thrilling and satisfying.

Tom Hardy and Charlise Theron are very good as the central characters. The overall story is fine too. What separates this very good action movie from great action movies is (as it often is) the bad guy. The main villain is awful and mean and vicious. But there is nothing explaining his evil. All of his followers are equally unmotivated. While the characters of Theron and Hardy get a great deal of back story and motivation, the villains alas, do not. It still is very entertaining, well filmed and well edited. And I love action movies too. They are my guilty pleasure. This just did not have enough for me.… Expand

This reboot of the cult brand of MAD MAX from the mastermind behind its original trilogy is a felicitous remedy to the generational fatigue of CGI-rampaged action tentpoles the world is overloaded with presently. After decades of immersion into animation filmmaking (paid off with an Oscar trophy for HAPPY FEET 2006 with his co-directors), George Miller’s grandiose return to live-action feature, the first one after LORENZO’S OIL in 1992, detonates the genre film enthusiasts with its cutting-edge visual spectacles which counter-act the current trend with the majority of its staggering set pieces accomplished with blood-and-flesh stuntmen and authentic objects other than virtual fictionalisation aided by computers, more pleasingly, the film has already conducts a profitable box-office trajectory worldwide, albeit it bears a hefty budget of $150 millions.

There could have been all kinds of medical explanation given for how he survived getting obliterated by a semi to have to wear a re-breather mask and special armor. Otherwise it was still awesome. The character development from both sides of the conflict was interesting and gave the story much more depth. Well, more depth than one would expect from a 2 hour chase film. Enjoy!… Expand

If you see this movie, do yourself a favor. Watch it in D-Box while you can. D-Box are those chairs that have vibration and motion in them, allowing you to feel the movie. That, in combination with Real-D 3D, makes this movie a true spectacle to behold. The BEST vehicle oriented action movie to date. Yeah, I'm talking to you Furious Seven!

So, what else is there to say but . . . This is great stuff! No, really, I’m a sucker for harrowing visions of sick societies challenged by damaged goods. The visions here are horrifyingly realized in the blast furnace of Miller’s imagination and slammed across the desert with the help of an angry industrial-symphonic score. Of course, it’s generally difficult to tell just what the hell is going on at any moment, particularly in the first half-hour when various subspecies of low-lifes are yelling at each other in Australian over the clanging of noisy machinery. But you can enjoy this flick just by getting the gist of the factions and the action and rooting for the good guys as you watch them earn each other’s trust. Turan of the L.A. Times has it right: “Fury Road” is film boiled down to its essence--a crucible of sight and sound. The only disappointment is knowing that there’ll be very few films more exciting than this out the rest of the year.… Expand

Probably in as many years as I can remember. It is pretty much a perfect film with a lot of creativity, stunning visuals, stunning cinematography, action-packed, incredibly fast-paced and a great story which doesn´t need a lot of dialogue to move forward the events. One thing I love about it is the personality of the film, in a big part achieved thanks to its two lead actors: Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron (the true star of the film) are outstanding here. So much restraint, so much passion, so much love for their craft, perfect performances, the type of roles that become iconic. People need to see this, it is beyond words. In this world of sequels which become repetitive and too childish, Mad Max and last years Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, have proved you can make it right: top quality and commercial appeal. Incredible from the first scene to the hair-raising last one.

So basically another Mad Max film!! But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this one’s my new favourite If you liked the previous entries, this is definitely one you should check out. George Miller is on fantastic form with this film and it’s amazing to think it took him this long to re-capture it. Tom Hardy is well cast in his role, though I do believe Nicholas Hoult is the best actor in the whole film and both of them complement Charlize Theron’s performance very well. There is never a dull moment, the characters are really good and I actually think this would be a pretty good jumping on point for newcomers. I would recommend seeing the first two movies prior to seeing this and some long time fans may be a bit confused by some elements that have been added to the film, mainly Max’s flashbacks. This is absolutely brilliant, though be warned there is a bit of a gore factor at points, though it’s not to the extent that it will be absolutely wince inducing. Many people are calling this the best action movie of the last 5 years and while I personally still think that honour belongs to the Avengers this is still a contender for that title.

All that’s left to say is what a movie, WHAT A LOVELY MOVIE!!!… Expand

I mean if this film does not click with the audience and flops, that means it’s not the filmmakers’ fault, it’s the audience that will spell the end of innovating, original, fresh daring, bold blockbusters like these, which are already impossible to make in this day and age. To say this is the movie of the year would be an understatement, it’s quite simply a stunning work of art, filled with impressionistic visual splendour that stuns you from beginning to end. George Miller proves why he’s a master filmmaker when it comes to staging epic stunts and, of course, chase sequences. And it wouldn’t be an overestimation if I deem Fury Road (2015) superior to Road Warrior (1981) and as the best of the Mad Max series. This one takes the cake for being the must watch movie of the year; one that demands to be seen only on the biggest IMAX screen you can find. For once the hype and the reviews more than lived up to expectations. Action and blockbuster cinema simply does not get better than this, the bar has been set very high.… Expand

This movie is not as groundbreaking as all the reviewers will have you believe. It's a great movie without a doubt, but there were some aspects of the film I didn't like that made me lower my score.

First off, the world Miller created isThis movie is not as groundbreaking as all the reviewers will have you believe. It's a great movie without a doubt, but there were some aspects of the film I didn't like that made me lower my score.

First off, the world Miller created is amazing. Everyone and everything is crazy in true Mad Max fashion. This leads to having great visuals and action scenes throughout the entire film. However, there was almost too much action in the film, that by the end the finale just wasn't that impactful. The action itself is amazing. It didn't feel choreographed at all. It had a very spontaneous feel to it, which made it seem real and authentic. You know, the way action should be! I'm tired of watching computer game action sequences in films today. So this was a much needed breath of fresh air.

Second, I hate movies in which I can't understand dialogue anymore. Actors are instructed to talk crazy to give characters more depth. Ok, I understand that, but it's so bad that I can't understand half the things being said. Luckily, the female characters (who are not crazy) I can understand clearly. All the male crazy characters have weird accents, machines over their faces to distort their words, or are just flat out yelling. Yes, the world is crazy in a beautfiul way... but I would like to know what they are saying while doing crazy things. I'll put on subtitles next time I watch this film.

Finally, my biggest beef with the movie is the Mad Max character himself. I know the main complaint some might have is that he wasn't the main character in the film. I'm not bothered by that at all. My problem is that he doesn't feel like the same character I loved in the original films. The whole charm of the original Mad Max films for me is that Max himself was a calm, cool, collected badass in a world gone crazy. Max is suppose to be above it all, however in this film he's portayed as someone who's pretty much as crazy as everyone else. He's no longer calm and collected, but not he's screaming, paranoid, frantic, and haunted by his family's death... His family's death in the first film didn't consume him several years later when looking at Road Warrior or Thunderdome. Did anyone else feel like this Max character wasn't really the Max we've seen in the prior three films? It didn't to me, and it was bugging me the whole film.… Expand

I can honestly say that Mr. Miller has not lost his touch whatsoever! Best action movie I have seen in many eons! Kudos to the Mad Max crew. Cannot wait for a repeat viewing.
