A fantastic action film that is a great watch

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2015)

I have finally got the chance to see the much acclaimed new mad max film fury road and I must say that it is fantastic. The premise of this film sees max get kidnapped by a warlord and tries to escape with a group of refugees. Tom hardy plays mad max and he is great in the role, he doesn't have allot of lines but I see that as being true to the mad max character and he nailed all the action scenes that he had to do. Another great character is that of Charlize Therons character of furiosa, she was an interesting character and she was an even better fighter then mad max which made her the real star in this film in my opinion. Nicholas hoult plays a crazy in this film and this is really unlike anything he has ever played before, he was crazy as you expect but he was also a really interesting character and his development throughout the film was one of the best things in this movie. The villain immortal Joe also had some character to him and was cool even though I do wish they gave him a little bit more to do. The narrative is simple yes but it works and the character development really is good in this film and makes these characters really interesting and fun to watch. The script is the one negative as some of the dialogue feels one dimensional and doesn't hit the emotional impact that would make the characters really stand out, but there are some fun and emotional dialogue that does help. The style is fantastic, this film is crazy but it makes sense in this film and makes it great. The action is all insanely cool and is easily the best part of this film and the use of practical effects mixed with cgi really worked and makes all the stunts look fantastic. Overall this is a fantastic film and if you are looking for an action film to watch this is one of the best around.
