Another milestone in the action film history

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2015)

When talking about remarkable action movies, a few titles come to mind. Movies like Die Hard, Terminator: Judgment Day, The Matrix and The Dark Knight are great examples of it. And if you're into this kind of film, congratulations. You've just won another golden ticket to the chocolate factory.
Mad Max: Fury Road opens this summer as one of the best movies I have seen in the past decade. I have recently re watched the first three movies of the franchise to dive into this world once again. After I was done with it, I came to the same realization that I did a few years back. I did not like them at all. And as a consequence, I had no hope for this one. In my mind, it was going to be as mediocre as the others. Fortunately, I couldn't be more wrong. After three decades trying, George Miller has finally got it. That post-apocalyptic world he created 36 years ago is bigger, better and crazier than ever.
If you are looking for a word to describe Fury Road, insane it is. It is visually stunning and packed with exhilarating action scenes. The execution is so impressive that you get yourself smiling in the middle of a gory scene. You can feel the effort and passion put into making this movie through the silver screen. The actors job in constructing the characters is so effective that you dive into this world almost instantaneously. Props to Hardy and Hoult who conducted their characters with talent, each one in their own crazy way. But specially to Theron for creating such an extraordinary and strong female character. Furiosa is simply amazing.
Hard to be pleased by this kind of movie, I was blown away. It has been a while since I walked out from a movie theater with this amount of satisfaction. Fury Road can be disgusting and beautiful at the same time. It is unique. It has reached and stepped on the same ground as some of our beloved blockbusters from the past. But not only this, it has marked itself as a milestone in the action film history.
