Probably the Best Movie of the Year. Through out the whole movie there wasn't one thing that didn't seem unrealistic in a post apocalyptic world. Then the struggle between Max and Furiosa is great their both supper protective and extremely driven and at first too stubborn to see that they need each other. Just a great movie over all really hoping they do something with it again in the future.
The best action movie in years.
Max Rockatansky: Max. My name is Max. That's my name.
Late to watch this, but, im not sure I see the mass appeal.
Visually stunning but for me that's where it ends, the story is quite weak and the dialogue even weaker.
Totally enjoyable though as we await the next big explosion or crazy looking mutant. One viewing is enough, I wouldn't watch it again.
Probably, the best action movie in the last 15/20 years.
And it's a movie about women.
My name is Max, PTSD Max.
I have be told that I was not in the right frame of mind when I watched this, and I did not get the point. First off I thought it was a comedy as I could not stop laughing for the first twenty minutes.
After that it plodded along for another hour and a half to the credits. Absolutely nothing original in the story, apart from maybe all the strong female characters. The strong female characters who still fall in love and need saving by the men.
Shots such as:
Furiosa looking at the gear lever when Max is confiscating the weapons in the cab.
Followed by the shot of Furiosa actually taking the knife out to ccheck it just to make it really obvious for the people who could not figure out there was a knife there.
The tracking shot of The Splendid Angharad's full belly showing she is pregnant. You know because we had not figured that out in the previous washing down shot.
I can only assume what I will call 'The Flying Stearing Wheel' shot was there to satisfy those viewing in 3D who need to see things exploding out of the screen.
All in all a long monotonous two hours, the corpse of Mel Gibson's career must be spinning in its grave.
One good thing about the film was Nicholas Hoult, he more than showed he could be the next James Bond.
Movie was quite a show actually. All actors are in their own world and every single one of them can tell their particular story. The colours were fantastic and the vehicles...wow. Tom Hardy, good job once again m8.
enjoyed the movie, although one thing made me grind my teeth: driving through desert and sand storms with engines with no air filters...
Cine Paco: I liked it more than when I saw at the cinema, now in 3D VO. Image, sound and 3D 5/5
"Oh, what a day... what a lovely day!"
Very crazy... Best movie of the 2015
Simply one of -if not the- best action movies in a long time. Both Hardy and Theron give a great performance, and the story is very well thought, it's not another empty action movie. But that doesn't mean it's a boring film, actually it is really entertaining. The thing is that what happens in the film is kind of plausible (in many many years, of course).
Not a big deal of a story, but that is highly compensated with a lot of action. This movie never gets bored and Tom Hardy is doing a really good job as main character.
A well-deserved 8!
great comeback from mad max trilogy by George Miller
Despite the sound mixing being weird/off for dialogue at parts (Tom Hardy/Max), the engine sounds, action sounds are a treat for ears.
This is definitely one of my favourite movies, the excitement doesn't end until the movie ends. Even then, you're still kind of left with a tingly feeling.This is BOMB and it's one of the most exciting films i've ever seen. The cinematography was AMAZING and I had to take screenshots watching it at home because it was too fucking hot, it's like each scene was filmed and tinted with one dominant colour. Cinematography and the actual film itself aside, the way they represented this dystopian world is so unlike anything i've ever seen - some of the stuff is so out there, like the concept of man wanting to be more machine-like and using the V8 symbol as their hangsign. Not to mention the unrealistic use of a plastic bodysuit for Immortan Joe which would be impractical but yet that made the whole movie more exciting. The moment something impractical came into the film, it kind of make me think that cinema can just be explosions and action and stuff that doesn't make sense. Not everything needs to realistically fit to 'fit'. It's out of this world.
You know it's a mad apocalypse when men going to war with a metal band (because what is anarchy without a soundtrack). #realtalk
What a day, what a lovely day!!
best movie in 2015 !
I really hate the over post-produced Batmanish voice they put over Tom Hardy, It was like seeing an old Chinese movie translated. --I'm Batmax-- ...and the exaggerated color filters, but it's a good movie, it's fun and a lot of action, Charlize Theron did an excellent job... still, I love more the old classic Mad Max movies (except Beyond Thunderdome).
good movie I recommended to anyone
Nothing more than great. Great effects, great action, and good story. I regret not having seeing this in the cinema.
That movie was absolutely insane! One of the best action movies this year ! :)
I get why many loves this movie. It looks great, has a lot of action and... and... I've heard that some people think that the story is strong. Really? I'm all for women taking matters in their own hands. I love strong female characters. A movie can be well made but do nothing for me, and a "bad" made movie can be entertaining. For me a great movie, or a movie I love is one that I want to watch again. And lots more times. This didn't make me feel that way. I might watch the trailer(s) again but that's it. Not gonna buy it. For my entertainment it's 2/5 for me. Hate me if you want. Quality wise it definitely gets higher than that though.
What a movie. I hate myself for missing it in 3D in theaters.
a weird action movie, the story is solid, it presents a somewhat original scenario to how our world will end up, but I can't help but say there's something missing.
High on action low on story, that's how I'd describe Mad Max: Fury Road. I was never a fan of the original movies and that didn't change with this reboot. Throwing together all kinds of crazy characters and them having them say the most ridiculous lines doesn't make a good movie. How some of the actors could say some of these lines with a straight face is beyond me. "He's a crazy smeg who eats schlanger!" What?!
The Mad Max universe is a post-apocalyptic world that's just too much and has no clear direction. It tries too hard.
And what's up with naming the movie Mad Max and then placing the focus on somebody else? Tom Hardy as Mad Max literally mumbles his way through a few lines in the entire movie and the rest of the dialog goes to Charlize Theron's character Furiosa. The title character is just along for the ride is someone else's movie.
A movie that has some (the CGI is shockingly bad for todays standards) great (physical) special effects, but lacks a story.
Loved the Doof Wagon! And Doof Warrior was awesome!
And where is Mad Max? I spotted only Tina Turner's sick brother...
Why not 10? Max role in the movie is very weak (this is not Max as we know him). Title of the Movie should be "She Max" and then I would rate it 10 :)
what a film, what a lovely film
So fucking good...I love it
This movie is worth the time spended on it
After a tense prologue to set up the film, It takes a little while to adjust to the scenario presented - Max might be Mad, but the world presented is completely nuts and difficult to accept even on its own terms (Some slightly dodgy acting from some of the minor characters doesn't help). But, that all quickly fades once the film sets out into the desert and quickly develops into one very intense chase film. Miller has created some of the most visceral and tense chase sequences in some time, each one different enough to prevent the film from becoming stale. That a lot of the stunts were done for real certainly makes it much more appealing, yet the film wouldn't work if we didn't care about the characters. Hardy as Max is certainly effective, but the real revelation here is Theron's Furiosa, The film is also beautifully shot with some stunning images that make this one of those films worth seeing on the biggest screen possible. The epilogue wraps things up a little too easily, but the thrill here is in the chase and one that is definitely worth taking.
I had no expectations of this movie when I went to see it on cinema. I never saw the original movies (and I don't intend to either), but I must say that I was positively surprised by this one. It was action packed with something happening all the time, so there was really never a dull moment, although I think it was maybe a tad too long with all the back-and-forth. The characters were brilliant and interesting in their own way and let's not forget - completely insane - but in a positive way of course. The sheer amount of creativity poured into the production simply amazes me. Everything fits together perfectly. I'm giving it an 8 simply because I realize that, although it certainly delivers on it's promises, it's just pure (but awesome) entertainment, and I generally expect more from a movie to give it a higher rating.
Oh, and don't bother with 3D, it doesn't add anything to the experience.
Simply the best action movie in years. Light on story, rich in frills and thrills.
Deserves a 10 out of 10 all around and marks above for this kind of movie
Maybe the best Mad Max so far and definely
well driven :).Truly remarquable sequel and reboot.
I had pretty low expectectations after the trailer
and and i was dragged into the theaterAnd i was blown away by this apocalyptic universe and the non stop action sequence.
Some 3D effects are cool too.
Well played Georges Miller and the team:)
Came in with no expectations and still got more than what I asked for. Quite possibly the best action film I've ever seen; The editing was superb, acting amazing and I loved, loved, loved the plot! Wish there had been a bit more character development and maybe a bit more depth to some of the other characters but all in all a fantastic movie that manages to be merge classic action movie traits and originality.
Came in ready for some meaningless plot and random action film action..... And I got so much more! The characters have actual depth and are portrayed by fantastic actors (besides Charlize Theron being generally amazing, she and Tom Hardy had really great chemistry). Moreover, the editing was marvelous which made the film fast paced yet easy to follow and it looked /so good/. Don't even get me started on costume and set design! After watching this movie I kind of want to get some steampunk gear and blow up cars haha. Really fantastic film, 10/10 will recommend to watch! It was unrealistic yes, but in a way that I didn't mind, like it was unreal on purpose.
My review is that the film is .... "perfect in every way!"
Basically 300 except with more orange and in cars. What I mean by that is that the plot is there and it's okay but that's not why you're watching this movie (and the acting is honestly terrible). You watch this movie for the elaborate and unique action sequences.
I went alone to watch this movie and what a win! Action non-stop during the whole play. The film is a gift to all senses.
The only objection is that it leaves you with the feeling of wanting more
was good, action, good budgetm history, seems a rehash of the 2 and the 3. angry furious empress
Abbey Lee is so qt
