This movie had me excited since it's announcement along with the casting of Tom Hardy as the lead. Every poster and trailer leading up until the release of the film was beautiful and captured the tone of the film perfectly.
Max is mysterious and quiet while still seeming cool and just a bit unhinged while the world around him feels fleshed out and all of these characters seem real. The action is non stop right from the beginning and doesn't let up very much until the credits role!
There's humor, there's action and while the plot is minimal it isn't just a turn your brain off and enjoy type of film. The scenery is beautiful and the music is just as intense as the action sequences with the war drums pounding and a flame throwing guitar playing psycho riding a monster of a vehicle!
The use of cgi is kept to a minimum and many will embrace the abundant use of stuntmen and crazy post apocalyptic vehicles in all of the chase scenes.
All in all I must say Mad Max: Fury Road is just a roller coaster ride of fun and if I had to say anything negative about it'd be the sound mixing at times. For example many of the voices of the characters where almost completely incomprehensible and I'll probably have to wait until it's bluray release to watch the film with subtitles. Other than that I very much enjoyed the movie and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of action films.
Rating: Full Price!
