I'm just really confused as to why so many people love Fury Road. Yeah the action was pretty cool, but I'd say there was literally only 2 or 3 minutes of actual character development. That made the action scenes extremely boring and repetitive for me since I didn't really get to know the characters

I can't believe I'm saying this but: I fully agree with Duralde here. Incredible, incredible movie with some of the most absurdly outstanding action set-pieces in cinematic history. Everything in this movie just clicked for me. The action, cinematography, plot, characters, music, acting, etc. Everything was top notch. This movie blew my mind. I cannot imagine a film that can beat Fury Road this year (yes not even the almighty Star Wars, but I know you'll still be asking about that one). Maybe The Hateful Eight and the Revenant, or maybe Spectre? Though I wouldn't count on it. Maybe we should just crown Fury Road "Movie of the year" and be done with it.

There are movies since then that have been superior to Max in my opinion, some may even be classified as action movies. But to me, those movies (basically The Dark Knight and Inception) are better movies, but not better *action* movies. Mad Max was fucking incredible. I cannot wait to see it again, and again after that.

People are in trouble, he shows up and reluctantly helps them. Saves them and leaves. It's what he does. We don't need to know more about him, but we do need to know why these people needs his help. And this movie was awesome. Correction it was fucking awesome. It was like an action opera.

Jonah Laurich Avengers is probably my least favorite movie that I've seen this year, and I still thought it was good. Hopefully the summer movies can keep this up.

While Max is again thrown into yet another conflict he doesn't want to be part of... He is pivotal in the resolution of Furiosa's story. He basically says to her: (drawing from his own experience) "You cannot keep running from your past or your troubles, so go home and find the answers within you, make a difference where you can." I thought that was powerful, and gave the whole last sequence a lot more weight, at least to me. Great film.

I hate when people say that Max wasnt the main character in Mad Max, because the movie wouldnt even happen without him in it. The story is centered around him, and the other characters are only successful because of him. It's called "Mad Max", and his name is the first one to appear and he narrates the story.

"who doesn't want well written female characters?" I think the fact we get so few of them speaks for itself. The development of well written female characters has always been pushed aside in favor of focusing more on male characters or just out of sheer laziness. But then again we rarely get well written male characters that much either.

Alonso had the much better review!

***** Matt--- (IN RESPONSE TO YOUR "THIS WAS A FURIOSA MOVIE") .... before anyone says that Max didn't have a CHARACTER ARC, you have to know, that a main protagonist in a story DOES NOT have to have one - as long as another character does. In this case, Furiosa carried the protagonist ARC. This is not the first time it has been used in films. In Classic James Bond movies, James Bond is the same person he was in the beginning and by the end of a story, but another character would be the one that LEARNED or CHANGED by the end. Max contributed to decisions that took the plot to new directions and ultimately benefited Furiosa as a person by the end. That was his PURPOSE in the story. Great film.

Max is actually a very deep character in this. Most of the deep themes revolve around him.

This movie fucking blew my mind. I saw it late because the hype was so huge I thought I wasn't going to like it... but it fucking blew me away. 10/10 for me.

garding the music, i found it very telling, that at the peak of the action they decided to play the requiem by Verdi, Dies Irae. That I felt was very poingient and represented the fear and despair associated with survival in the Mad Max World.

Literally a movie where the main characters drive to one location and then drive back.

I saw it twice, the 2nd time in 3D, and I have to say, a lot of the shots, especially earlier in the movie, get taken a bit for granted when seen in 2D. Phenomenally entertaining.

Ok... I need to go and see this film NOW!! Just told my bf... he better surprise me this weekend! Lol!

The backstory for this movie comes a lot from the details put into the setpieces and vehicles...the props tell their own story. Probably why films like LOTR are timeless, the care that is put into figuring out every little physical detail for the setpieces really shows on screen. Sure the story is a little simplistic, but I think the reason this movie stands out from the rest is because the vehicles you see on screen are real vehicles that are really driving across the desert, the explosions are real explosions and the stunts are crazy. this movie is beautifully insane and is everything a mad max film should be!

goose is pretty much the main character in the first Mad Max... idk if that's a reason to give it a lower score

Seeing it Sunday!

Interesting review. I liked it even though it did not have much dialog.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I can't stop thinking about it.

I´m so happy for the tremendous actors that are Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. This is huge. Reviews are amazing. I trust Metacritic way more and the real average there is awesome too. My favorite critics love it. And it will no doubt do big business. You could tell by the trailers alone. Those were phenomenal.

She wasn't hiis daughter because she calls him Max. There is an unexplained backstory there, but it's not a backstory on his family's death. And it's suppose to be a sequel, but it doesn't really matter. Miller also wanted it to be open to interpretation on when this story is to take place. So who really cares when it take place. In the Mad Max: Fury Road comic books, they do explain the backstory. Plus it explains how Max got his car back.

The title of the movie was very misleading. Actually it should be :"Imperator Furiosa Fury Road (starring mad max)". Btw I hope they make a Furiosa spin-off.

@WhattheFlick it says Max Max in your title

George Miller's brilliant script - this script was a STORY BOARD that George and his production artists worked on for a DECADE! Ten years of creating scenes into better & better action sequences. PLUS - There are two stories going on at once. 1.) The action film , and 2.) Max's spiritual inner journey from emotional loner to regaining his ability to connect to other people and finally move to help them. The best action film yet created. The HOT-ROD-APOCOLYSPE is a great genre created by George Miller.

I don't remember them saying that the ghost girl was his daughter. I just thought she was one of the people he didn't save over the years. And if it *is* his child, it doesn't mean it's a replacement of his son from the fist movie. He could've had another one who died.

Best Action this century. PERIOD.

It is a superb film, story, characters, production, cinematography, SFX, Music and stunts into a glorious post apocalyptic masterpiece. It's not perfect, but very close to be. George Miller created the template for the Post Apocalyptic film genre and creates a film that stands up to the entire Mad Max Trilogy perhaps even higher. It was entertaining, compelling and glorious absurd from start to finish, it committed the world that Miller constructed so superbly and succeeded beyond expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I'm glad I took their advice. I was pretty mixed about the trailer but this movie delivers! It's absolutely insane. I'm sure it helps that I saw this in 3D IMAX.

If there was a Mad Max Cirque Du Soleil show, this would be the big budget movie version of that.

I can't wait to see the car stunts that do in this movie.

They never said that the girl in Max's guilt-flash-back is his daughter. It's just someone he failed to save. They really don't tell you much, and it's on purpose. To paraphrase playwright Harold Pinter, you don't NEED to know everything about a character to be invested in them. As Pinter put it, all you need to know sometimes is "This is what they said. This is what they did," and I would add, "This is what they felt." Mad Max: Fury Road does this in spades.

Do a KZread search for "Brutal Legend trailer" - a videogame starring Jack Black as the protagonist. It's got similar flavor, but with dark fantasy elements added.

7.5, that's insane. It was amazing and dear god the soundtrack was incredible!

I saw it in 3D (that was all that was available, which is becoming more and more common which I'm not in favor of if for no other reason than it's more expensive) and it added nothing to it for me, in fact 3D gives me a headache so it actually detracted from it. I'm not sure if it's that the glasses arms are so narrow of the 3D itself but I never come away feeling like it added anything to the experience.

OMG they compared it's brilliance to The Raid: Redemption!! You sirs have my likes!

Agree with Alonso.

Where did the snobs I'm used to go?

I think this was a sold film. It's gorgeously filmed and absolutely exhilarating, but it was missing a spark. There's no character development, and I, being a person who reads into everything, found that a little frustrating. However, it has a flame shooting electric guitar in the arms of a masked puppet-man. Should I really be looking for ties like that? The film is awesome, plain and simple, and it reaffirmed my love for a good action flick. 3.5/5.

I don't think the Max we got is the real Max, but the kid with the silver boomerang, so we might see Mel back with Hardy in the next one.

solid 8 from me. best action movie since Dredd.

If they dig deep enough will they not find water?

This film is PURE BRILLIANCE. I've watched it about 10 times now. It keeps getting better. Most action movies are dull after the first couple times watching it. Very few are re-watchable. But, every once in a while you get something special (Lethal Weapon 1, John Wick Ch. 1 & 2, Dark Knight, etc). But this fucking movie is so addicting to watch! Goddamn! This movie is not for sissies. If you are a pansy you will hate it. This is the end-all, be-all of action.

Matt gives it soo much praise then he all of a sudden. 7.5! whaaaa?

When the Dino meteor hit the temp went up to 170 degrees. When I call out of my hole after the cool to 120 degrees I will offer Charlize Theron a ride when she come ups for air

My favorite movie so far this year....probably for the last few years.

I almost couldn't handle it. It was like being attacked. Amazing movie.

Wow. I've found another film that Alonso doesn't shit on in one way or another. He genuinely loves it! What is going on?!?

A man reduced to a single instinct: survive.

I agree with your points its a 9.5 not a 7.5 lol. Although when I went to see it there was an all girl school field trip size line for Pitch Perfect 2 which doesn't interest me because Mad Max is the better film

Saw it a week ago and cant stop thinking about it. It was AMAZING!!!!

Just saw it. It was an adrenaline rush the entire way through. I loved it to death. The fight scene with the guitar was amazing. Wow. xD

I'd love to see George Miller take a crack at Roger Zelazny's novel "Damnation Alley". Forget the crappy Jan Michael Vincent movie; one could make a great movie from that book.

How action should be shot and choreographed today. Hats off To George Miller.

Mel Gibson in Mad Max 2 is still the best!

I consume movies and I will tell you that I have never seen anything like it. The most beautiful cinematography Ever put on film.

Best pure action movie of all time.

My opionion. the not so good: 1. the sped up scenes at points.like it was fast forwarding. 2.max' total lack of dialogue 3.max seemed like a secondary character. and 4.This movie is rated R, but it didnt feel like it.VERY tame to me,could have been PG13 easily. i was expecting it to be more gritty, but in hindsight i realized none of the 3 previous mad max films where ever extreme in their depictions of violence. Now the awesomeness: The action scenes, especially the ones involving vehicles (like 95% of the film) are AWESOME! And i read that very little was CGI. All in all i loved the movie. it was like when i watched prometheus: it wasnt what i expected going into to it,but i still enjoyed it alot!

Great action but I didn't love it. There was plenty of excitement going on but the story was very weak. With that said it was worth watching but I recommend shutting your brain off and just taking in the explosions and action scenes (the whole movie). I would give it 5 or 6 out of 10.

love the camera angels on here now..as for the movie I loved it but its not a mad max movie its furiosa's movie and I think that his haunting memories of his past should of been more dramatic.

Maximum Max,

I think the movie should've been called Mad Furiosa. She is a bad ass !! Tom Hardy did not fit the character and deeply lacked the "oomph" However the cinematography was brilliant. I think it is the best action movie of the year ! so raw and old school

So bright, so shiny, SO CHROME!!!!

I gotta admit, I only scored this movie a B on my first viewing, But after seeing it the 2nd time at home by buying it, It got better and I liked it even more. I'm now giving it an A-
