Mad Max Fury Road Warrior

Rating: 7/10 (6 June 2015)

I saw this movie twice for the first time it was awesome. As an action movie it works great. I don't know if anything I have seen in this movie makes any sense but the setting is crazy enough that you don't need to bother asking why they are doing what they are doing.
How ever as a Mad Max movie, and thats where the !!SPOILERS!! start, I'm not quiet sure what to think about it. First of all its basically the 2nd Mad Max minus much of its story. The Interceptor gets wasted, some people with an alternative lifestyle try to flee from some kind of Humungus kind of guy on a huge truck, lots of things get blown up and max decides to go its own way.
I liked the idea that the people in the Citadel are separated into castes like the Warboys or the Mothers but I it could have gone deeper and shown some more.I also wonder how the Bulletfarmers and the Gastown Boys are related to all that, they just unite their force at some point and chase the tanker so there really should have been a tad more background story to fully understand that.
I'd say a 7 is appropriate because the chase in this setting is just fun and the 2 hours feel really really short but as a Mad Max movie I'd say its somewhere behind Beyond Thunderdome in terms of atmosphere it also does not feel as dark and hopeless. They don't seem to suffer from any kind of shortage like in Road Warrior where the lack of fuel is all present. The differences in the story is that in one movie they flee from forces from the outside and in the other one they escape and try not to brought back. Both movies got a super sized villain but the originals Humungus was more suitable plus his sidekick Wez was more badass an Inmortan's whole crew combined.
tl:dr Great nonstop action that should be watched without thinking to much about the other Mad Max movies. If they added that his family had been killed (they didn't right?) it would perfectly work for its own.
