One heck of a thrill ride

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2015)

So when it comes to the story, it might seem like there really isn't anything special when it comes to the story. The plot is about going from point A to point B and back to point A again. Now the "Mad Max" franchise is considered cult films and although I am not a big fan of this franchise but I thought it does have certain imageries that make it stand out. Although the third installment was the weakest and is probably why there wasn't a new "Mad Max" movie for many years. I will say "Fury Road" is one heck of a insane experience, filled with chaos and madness. Again what makes this movie stand out is the crazy imagery and atmosphere. If you are a fan of steampunk style genres than you will probably have a blast with this one. This movie is wild and crazy and yet there wasn't really any shaky cam and yet the cinematography is really well done and super cool. Now I still think Mel Gibson did a better job of play Max, mainly because of the insane look in Mel's eyes, but Tom Hardy bring something new. He sort of reminded me of his character from Lawless a bit. Which is this confused badbass. Although the title says "Mad Max" the really title for this should have been "Badass Chick with the Metal Arm". Because Charlize Theron seemed to be the main protagonist throughout most of the film. And she is badass as a badass female lead can get. Call me blind, but I never really found Charlize to be attractive, sure I could understand why she is known to be one of the most beautiful actresses in the business. But man she was really hot in this one. Which shows that sometimes more than appearance how you carry yourself can really bring out the attractiveness. This is a exploitation film for the mainstream audiences, that is a fun thrill ride from beginning to end without it dragging out. Overall, this is a film that almost every movie buffs can have a good time with. I usually don't watch the same movie twice in theaters, but I did for this one. Once in regular and the other time in 3D.
8.5/10
