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.

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

Two hours of nonstop adrenaline, mixed in with a hefty amount of emotion, it eats at you wanting even enemy-turned allies to stay alive throughout.

Tom Hardy is the perfect replacement as Max Rockatanksy, and it lives up to every amount of hype that you had any worries for. The film was beautifully shot, the wasteland was like nothing i had ever seen before in a post-apocalyptic world. And to think that 99% of the time, you are watching real stunt work, and real practical effects: every vehicle is real and crafted to be menacing. I havent felt this happy over an action movie in over a decade.

Fury Road has set the bar high for all action movies after it, and is going to be one difficult experience to top for the remainder of the year. Oh, and how can we forget the guy with the flamethrower guitar? George Miller, you just gave the middle finger to all of Hollywood thereafter. This is how a cinema should be done.… Expand

We've all heard the movie praise from critics claiming, "This movie is non-stop action!" for other films. Every time I've seen one of those, that claim has been a lie. There are always breaks in the action.

Mad Max: Fury Road is not non-stop action, but it's the closest I've ever seen to actually achieving and earning that praise. Within the first 25 minutes, you've got a chase scene fit for the finale of most films, and it just keeps building from there. The film is like the cover of a metal album mixed with guns and the greatest monster truck rally / destruction derby you've ever scene. I can't sell this movie enough. If you like action movies, you will like, neigh, you will LOVE this. Gosh . . . What a Lovely Day!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What the hell did I just see? This is a film about a bunch of completely insane loonies on a road trip from hell, through a post-apocalyptic waste-land, to save a bunch of people from a totally nuts scary looking boss dude who drips feeds water to the rest of the population. They even have a crazy guy playing a crazy guitar with fire shooting out the neck of the guitar, on a truck. It was very AC/DC. But aside from all this, this film moves at break-neck speed. It has some of the best stunts (if not THE best) ever performed for the screen. It has a good plot, and acting. But most importantly, it has a VISION. And that is what I think makes it great. George Miller is a master of filming action. It shows in every scene. This film is more like a ride than a film.… Expand

This is truly the greatest movie of all time. I wish I was joking, that this "silly" action movie full of explosions, this two-hour car chase, this movie so ripe with violent hyperbole and rusted metal, is somehow the greatest movie ever made, but it is. It may not have the most thought provoking plot, the most mind bending twists, or the most intricately crafted story. However, when you go to see a movie, you come in with some expectation of what you are about to see. I didn't expect that with this movie. This movie showed me something different, that there is a different way. There is a different way to make movies where artistry and orchestration of a million tons of steel and a trillion tons of sand can combine to tell a story on its own. Where absolutely no camera shots or words are wasted. Where every single frame plays together to create a masterpiece of visual and active story telling. Where every second of dead air hangs thick with anticipation. This movie is a circus; George Miller is laughing as he takes apart expectation and he shreds action movie tropes, only to have something truly original and important come out the other side. The most original, daring, and inventive movie in 30 years is an installment in a 30-year-old franchise. That is the cosmic irony and beautiful existence of Mad Max: Fury Road. I can not comprehend a better movie than this. It is exactly what I have always wanted.… Expand

What you won't expect is just what a balls to the wall, non stop action packed thrill ride this has turned out to be. Short on plot and dialogue, Fury Road relies on all out action that barely lets up, physical effects that make most CGI in films look redundant and an abundance of imagination that could populate three films rather than just this one. A triumph on all levels. Michael Bay - look and learn!!… 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.

The most important action movie of at least the last ten years, if not the last 15. First, let's cover some basic complaints:

"There's no plot/dialogue/character development to this movie" Wrong! The movie just uses a thing calledThe most important action movie of at least the last ten years, if not the last 15. First, let's cover some basic complaints:

"There's no plot/dialogue/character development to this movie"

Wrong! The movie just uses a thing called "subtext" to not bash your head in with needless exposition. I can tell you the origins of almost all of the main characters with only a few seconds of screen time. I can tell you the complexities of the plot, and the motivations of the characters simply by paying attention to the world around them.

"It's just a two hour car chase"

First off, yes, there is a lot of action. A LOT. You know what separates it from the average sup par summer blockbuster? It happens to be extremely well shot. The action is kinetic, yet shot steadily. It is brutal, the scenery, the art direction and the music are all used to organically move the story along, creating a constant state of tension and dread knowing the main characters NEVER have the advantage on the battlefield. That said, there is at least 30 minutes of the 120 not centered on action, so there are breaks.

"Too much Furiousa, not enough Max"

With the exception of the first one, Max is never the center of the drama. He is akin to Eastwood in the "Man with No Name" movies. He is a drifter (as established in the opening monologue) who wanders into conflict. Such was the way with the previous two movies, and he even has more lines in this than "The Road Warrior". That said, Furiosa is the most fleshed out, well played badass female leads since Ellen Ripley or Sarah Conner.

With those points covered, you REALLY need this movie in your life if you love action movies. I would go everyday if I could afford to, finding new things in the background as I made my way to my fourth viewing this weekend. It's safe to say I've probably already seen my number one movie this year.… Expand

Fury Road is that extremely rare example of a movie that blew expectations away wholly. I'll admit that I wasn't expecting too much from this, as the trailers made it seem like just another brain-dead action film; in my defense a thousand dumb as hell action movies come out every year, and the fact that this was a reboot didn't help mitigate that assumption. But I could not have been more wrong. An action film with an emphasis on practical effects, great acting, writing, directing, and an actual message is about as rare on Earth as kryptonite. This movie is gorgeous visually (definitely watch it on the best quality TV possible), but the sound is on a whole other level; seriously, listen to this on a high-quality surround sound setup and prepare to be blown away. I don't want to spoil anything, but there is one scene in the movie that takes place in a sandstorm; this is one of the greatest moments of cinema I have ever had the fortune of experiencing. It is a perfect marriage of visuals and sound and is a feast for the senses; buy this movie for that one scene alone, but enjoy the rest of the movie as well, because it is amazing. It is filmed mainly as one long chase, and it is pedal to the metal fast right from the get-go. Fast is the only speed this film knows. Anyway, this film has gotten massive critical acclaim and definitely deserves some award recognition in the coming months (even though the likeliness of anything like the Academy recognizing it is akin to Hitler still being alive). It is far and away the best film I've seen this year, and I can only hope that its future sequels, which are already in early development, are worthy of this masterpiece of sight and sound. If I had only one word to describe this movie, it would be "insane"; not in a bad way, but in the "you have no Idea what's going to happen next" way, and that's exactly what I want from art.… Expand

It delivers pulse pounding action, stays true to the Max that Miller has established, and makes for the perfect summerGeorge Miller proves that he’s come home to a franchise that he knows best. Mad Max Fury Road is a triumph in every way. It delivers pulse pounding action, stays true to the Max that Miller has established, and makes for the perfect summer movie.

In the little downtime that we have to establish the universe we get a world drought into anarchy. The barren wasteland presented before us is a desert world with water being a crown jewel, food and supplies being the silver to water’s gold. Immortan Joe is the ruler of this wasteland and has a mass cult of followers that fill this twisted world and Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) defies the Joe which spirals in a massive pursuit. It’s a simple plot but one that gets fleshed out during the course of the movie and one that’s thoroughly interesting.

This movie is essentially a giant chase scene and while that may seem like it can drag on, it never does. Fury Road provides some of the most varied and intense action scenes that’s been presented on film in the most recent years. This wasn’t completely evident to me until the first fist fight. Visceral and engaging, you’re not quite sure where it goes, but damn does it have your attention. The same sentiment follows the entire film. Not knowing the predictability of the nature of these characters and what happens to them deviates from keeping the main characters safe, as they never are.

Tom Hardy is about the best Mad Max we could get. He nails the mannerisms, speech, grunts, he solidifies himself in the role and Charlize Theron is there to make for a capable female role. She has her agenda and a purpose, while Max is Max, just the way he’s supposed to be. How these two and some of the other supporting roles interact, dissuade, and empower one another makes for great chemistry and dynamic among-st the actors.

The landscape may be wide and morose but that doesn’t mean it lacks variety. The ensemble of oranges that paint the land and sky are nothing short of breathtaking, when night falls, a very chill and ominous navy blue sets the tone. Color is vivid and muddy.

Fury Road gives us the perfect pacing for a movie. While it may all be one huge chase, it’s dominated by action sequences between cars that only get better as the film progresses. The atmosphere and characters round out the remainder of the film, each character has a purpose to fulfill (one particular player aside) and there’s a reason for everything. Every small detail gives us meaning, there are some creatures spread out in the landscape that I still have my head wrapped around. The story is easy to follow, rewarding, and satisfying, something not even The Avengers could pull off, yet Mad Max does it.

If you are a fan of the original movies then you’ll know what you’re going into. Fury Road is easily accessible to newcomers that have their heads scratching at the trailer. I can make a pretty strong promise that both groups will be appeased by the end of the film. It’s a bombastic movie that doesn’t slow down and has the ideal run time. Nothing felt out of place, forced, or like it needed more context.

Mad Max Fury Road is something I can’t correctly capture on paper. It’s one of the few film events that needs to be experienced in a theater. From start to finish I had a damn good time, rooting for the characters, engaged in the plethora of action sequences, invested in the plot when there was dialogue, and the soundtrack just adds a badass and foreboding vibe to accompany the movie. It is the best movie of the summer, I know I may be wrong in the future but I highly doubt it, however I will keep an open mind. Mad Max is one of the rare occasions where you want more, I vie for this movie to succeed so that we can get another because this was the most enjoyable affair I’ve had in quite a long time.

Epic and unexpectedly moving, the film is a thrill and a spectacle from beginning to finish. The pacingSerenely orchestrated and crafted, Mad Max is a masterpiece wrapped up (albeit quite brutally) in the apocalyptic wasteland of Australia. Epic and unexpectedly moving, the film is a thrill and a spectacle from beginning to finish. The pacing of the film was brilliant with every break a much needed affair following what has got to be some of the most amazing set piece stunts one have ever seen on the big screen.
Although we will generally remember Mad Max as an action masterpiece, it was the quieter times that this film really strikes a chord for audiences to care for its surprisingly engaging characters. The backdrop of the desolate landscape provides some of the best wide angle shots in cinematic history and the tone of the adrenaline pumping action always leave pulses of excitement and thrill for the next invigorating engagement.
The imagery of the film is both surreal and imaginative. I acknowledge that some set and character designs may not be for everyone's taste but one cannot deny that George Miller has a daring vision for his films. With total confidence, the film exists in its own world without the need to tiresomely weigh down the story with back story or explanations. The brilliant aspect of the world of Mad Max is there isn't a specific shot or conversation that feels out of place to illustrate a feature of the its unique environment or culture. Everything is just there for the audience to see and discover and eventually come to accept as a dramatic re imagination of the reality which we exist in.
Overall, I felt the film to be a call back to the old days when people came to cinemas to have an experience. To have an opportunity to see something truly special. Mad Max is certainly such a ride. This is a definite must-see. (and a worthy one in 3-D too)… Expand

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

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.
An almost perfect 9.5 from me.… Expand

Becuase, the years we yearned for Mad Max, this dude was cooking up some serious entertainment. Fury Road is pure excellent filmmaking, the visuals are off the charts, the acting by Charlize Theron may be her absolute best and the stunts are bloodcurdling fun. The story starts out with Max (Tom Hardy), a former cop, who gets abducted by War Boys, skinny looking minions of Immortan Joe, to be their "blood bank". He ends up being a blood bank for Nux (Nicholas Hoult), a brainwashed War Boy. The story entwines with the story of Furiosa (Charlize Theron) who involves Max's escape into HER plan to take tortured girls put of Immortan Joe's captivity, to a place where mankind will thrive, the place where she was born. For the rest of the runtime, experiance Joe's minions getting in their way, for a long car chase, that glued me to my seat for some heart pumping, bloody thrills. Acting wise, Hardy makes a good Max, he has the hint that Mel Gibson had in the previous movies. The real kick is Theron, a fearless warrior, she has a dark past attached to her and the movie adapts to her story in her way as well. Hoult as Nux is not short of its kick as well. Mad Max has come a long way, Miller has crafted a new path for the Mad Max Universe, with some really interesting weird characters and Furiosa's story has more to it. But for what we have now, this is a standalone masterpiece, easily the best in the series. Fury Road puts all other acrion movies to shame. I hope Miller brings us another venture into a dark, crazy wasteland. He is a man of his word, this is a masterpeice. DONT MISS IT.… Expand

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

As a Hummungus(pun intended) fan of Mel Gibson's portrayal of Max Rockatansky,so i could not wait to see how Tom Hardy would fill in the shoes of The Road Warrior,since his acting material for the last couple of years,has been nothing short of astonishing,and once again he does a superb job of modernizing the character for the younger audiences,while also keeping enough of sadness and despair from his performance that reminds the fans that this is the man who lost everything,tried to fix it and went mad. However,the real show-stealer in the film is Charlize Theron who plays a real female version of The Road Warrior,Imperator Furiosa,whose name strucks fear and demands respect amongst Immortan Joe's army(whose actor pllayed Toecutter,in the original Mad Max),both play their parts stunningly and Furiosa is going to be remembered in History as "one of the most badass female warrior in film history",she's that good.Nicholas Hoult turns in the usually charismatic performance that is indeed very expected of him,and his character Nux provides craziness and innocence wrapped up into one package or a blood bag.Immortan Joe's wives provide the traditional damsels in distress ,yet George MIller still makes them strong and independent by having each partake in a moment critical to success in victory in one of film's many exciting action seqeuences.

The action ,the cars,the stunts,the choreography and George Miller himself,are the real stars of the film.Miller finds strange beauty inside the chaos and destruction of the film,he uses practical effects to a degree no other director has used in a movie like this,even better than the original trilogy's action combined,the level of cinematography and the astonishing shots of the desoalte wasteland look amazing,and will definetely leave some breathless.What George Miller also manages to bring back is tension and the feeling of vulnerability to the main protagonist,due to careful construction of each sequence,knowledge of geographic location of cars and the environment and the careful use of cotraptions and poles that swing back and forth and force characters into unexpected and dangerous situations.It's nail-biting really and by the time the film's done,you'll find yourself sweating and positively exhausted,from all the action films i've seen(and i've seen many)this one has some of the best car combat in cinema and some of the most gorgeous cinematography to date,it is a visual masterpiece,and George Miller is one of the few rare directors that don't lose their talent as they get older,and pack as much kinetic punch as some of the younger directors in the industry.Last,but not least the score of the film is terrific and totally rocks,heavy metal and drums have never been utilized this well,Junkie XL has outdone himself and made a very fitting and detailed musical composition to the film,that gets intergrated into the story of War boys and how Guitarists and drummers get used for rallying up warriors together and setting them in a fighting mood,clever writing from Miller and McCarthy results in a concept this ridicoulously over-the-top making more sense than you would imagine and pack thrills that most heavy metal concerts can't.

George Miller has returned with an enormous bang and revived this long-forgotten but legendary franchise and set it roaring on the fury road with vicious speed and even more meaning,simply put it is not only the best movie of the year so far,it is also the best movie you'll see this summer and one of the best action films i've ever seen,welcome back Max,you've been missed.… Expand

The movie is supposed to be set during the first and second one. Though it's crazier than any Mad Max before. This is the movie that Miller would have made first if he had the same visual effects back then. It's like a acid trip gone right. Car chases, hi octane cars, and a visual effects so that has been lost over the ages.
Practical effects over visual effects make MM the best movie of the year. The story keeps you engaged. If you loved the road warrior, then you'll love this too. The road warrior is slightly better because of it being a timeless classic but this does it justice. A movie that will have you on the edge of your sit but you will be wanting to let go and join the ride.
Again this movie isn't for people without the ability to comprehend it or those who simply don't understand. Though don't go watch it. For those fans of the original and of people who just love quality movies. Go watch it. Overall it's an awesome chapter into the amazing world of MM and will satisfy those who can appreciate an old movie in a new movie era. 9.5/10… Expand

Mad Max is an action movie, but with much more layers than movies on genre, and even without watching previously movies of the franchise, plot ingeniously suggests what happened before.

Overall, not only is this easily the best summer kickoff film so far this year, but it's also without a doubt one of the most exciting and impressive films I've seen so far this year! George Miller brilliantly outdoes himself with this more than welcome return to Max's post-apocalyptic world we've come to know and love! What a lovely day indeed! And what a lovely film as well!… Expand

What a lovely day, indeed.

Embodied in Tom Hardy's exceedingly competent hands, Mad Max has been flawlessly and unforgettably resurrected from the bloodstained sands of director George Miller's breathtaking nightmarish vistas like aWhat a lovely day, indeed.

Embodied in Tom Hardy's exceedingly competent hands, Mad Max has been flawlessly and unforgettably resurrected from the bloodstained sands of director George Miller's breathtaking nightmarish vistas like a phoenix and surges forth on the muscular crest of this propulsive thrill ride, fuelled by a potent cocktail of octane, testosterone, diesel fuel and masterfully rendered insanity.

Let it be said, partly as an endorsement and partly as a word of warning: for the duration of its two hour running time, "Fury Road" never relents. It exerts a special kind of hold over your senses - an experience guaranteed to burn your eyes out of your sockets and shatter your eardrums. It simply never stops - just roars and thrashes its way through 120 minutes of mesmeric, unadulterated madness. It sustains a raw and palpable tension throughout. This is the most confident and convicted reinvention of the blockbusters since "The Dark Knight". This is genre fusion - a Spaghetti western, a B-movie, a dystopian thriller, a chase and a survivalist drama. It is an examination of the human condition in the harshest conditions. It has B-movie stylings, but is assuredly wrapped in blockbuster packaging and marries the two seamlessly and perfectly. Accordingly, every technical detail is uniquely refined so that it explodes from the screen - the cinematography, editing, sound engineering, score, cohesive direction, and the performances (especially that of Charlize Theron, whose nuanced yet sensational portrayal of Furiosa is one that is immediately iconic).

No amount of hosannas however can adequately answer the main question associated with this movie. Yet I will now try to answer that question now in four words.

The question: is "Mad Max: Fury Road" worth the hype?

The answer: yes. Oh God yes.… Expand

I haven'tMad Max Fury Road is directed by George Miller starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, and Nicholas Hoult and is a continuation to the Mad Max series making this the 4th film. Ladies, Gentlemen, Mad Max Fury Road, was Mind-Blowing. I haven't seen such amazing action sequences in a movie since movies like the Indiana Jones Trilogy, Aliens, Die Hard, Terminator 1 and 2, Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2, and the Matrix! This movies action is unbelievably revolutionary and original that it will make you so pumped to see the movie again and again. Now what makes this movie feel so unique, and so action packed, is its beautiful shots and smooth paced action shots. The big plus is that most of the action in this film is made by practical effects! Lately we have been watching lots of movies with unbelievable amounts of CGI, which is not a bad thing in some ways. I enjoy CGI once and a while it can sometimes be amazing and sometimes terrible. I recently saw Avengers 2 which was full of CGI and I hugely enjoyed the film. But the practical effects in this film were by far better than any of the CGI effects ever released out in the Cinematic Universe!

Characters - Tom Hardy plays Max who is a man mentally troubled by his past, trying to find a path of hope through a futuristic post apocalyptic deserted world. Tom Hardy as Max I felt was a really good cast, especially since Hardy has been doing hugely well in his career. I didn't though feel like his character wasn't too impressive, but he still did a great job as Max. Charlize Theron plays Furiosa a women who is trying to escape with a special group of (I won't spoil what) cargo. She was a really badass character in this films and was a surprising addition to the Mad Max Universe. Nicholas Hoult plays Nux who was honestly my favorite character in the film because I found him the most relatable too. Nux is a member of Immortan Joe's settlement known as The Citadel, but later tries to ally himself with Max and Furiosa. Nux is corrected man who believes that he is destined for something great. I felt Nux was the most emotionally touching character that you can truly care for. Hugh Keays-Byrne plays Immortan Joe who is the main villain who I felt was a pretty badass villain in the film. He wasn't anything real special to the film, but I think he is a terrific addition to the Mad Max series.

Plot - The plot is overall pretty simple. Furiosa is trying to get away from the settlement "The Citadel" with a special cargo when she later runs into Max who doesn't know whether to ally with her, or not. While this occurs, warriors from the Citadel chase down Furiosa throughout a straight through action packed, consistent film. This movie is straight forward action, there's not a ton of dialogue but it works and leaves the audience drooling with "Ahhh".

Score/Soundtrack - I'm not really big on listening to a musical score in a film, but in this film the score is so pumping and exhilarating, you can't help but notice it. Like in Indiana Jones, there is consistent music that just pumps you up and makes you really really excited. This film had that kind of score that can greatly improve your enjoyment for the film.

Action Sequences/Special Effects - The action and effects in this film is what makes Mad Max Fury Road, Mad Max Fury Road. The action in this film is so well directed with smooth and beautifully paced camera-work. Amazing stunt work that just can't make you not geek up and get excited. There was a man with a electric guitar that shot out huge flames playing on a truck with huge surround sound. Tell me that's not awesome!!! The practical effects in the film made me so amazed. Every shot you saw in this film could be a humongous poster that you can put on the Movie Theater walls. Every shot you see you can look at with "Wow" because its so beautiful and awesome! There's this one shot in particular that shows most of the vehicles lined up with a very mixed color sky background that was probably the most enjoyable landscape shot I have ever scene in a film. I am going to see this film in Theaters so many more times just to see the action in this film.

Pros: -Great Casting -Fabulous Action Unlike Anything! -Amazing Effects -Great Casting -Motivating Original Score -Beautiful Landscape Shots -Interesting Narration -Very Unique to Many Action Films of Today

Cons: -I COULDN'T FIND ANY!!!!!!!

Guys, if you miss Mad Max Fury Road you will be missing out on the 2015 ride that you need for this year. It is by far the best film in over a decade and by far the best film so far and I will be quite surprised if this film beats any of my top films for 2015. Mad Max Fury Road Gets An:

I think they were not a realistic portrayal of a dystopian future due to the over-the-top car chases with over-the-top vehicles.

Premise: Max is captured by a warlord but is soon latched on to the front of a car in pursuit of the trusted oil tanker truck driver of the warlord, Furiouso (the driver), who has gone rogue and is attempting to flee from the warlord for some reason.

Pros:
1. Almost non-stop action. Great stunts.
2. Great acting from the well known actors. They even managed to get a couple of catwalk models to act well!
3. Great cinematography. Amazing scenes.
4. Thought it would be ultra violent, like many part of Spy (the film), but it wasn't. It was unnecessarily over-the-top in Spy.

Cons:
Can't think of one at this moment.

Score: 5/5 (no half score). Worth watching in the cinema and buying the DVD. I hardly ever give a 5/5. This is the movie of the year, for now.… Expand
