Extremely Over the Top - That's why it's a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2019)

To put this quite simply, everything about this film is insane. This is quite possibly the best action film of the 2000s and probably THE best action film of the 2010s.
With quite limited dialogue throughout, Miller manages to engage you with incredible action with excellent cinematography to display it. If you want to see non-shaky camera showing wide shots of explosions and literally what you think of when someone says "action," then this should please you thoroughly. The way the action has been created for this film is jaw-dropping, especially in the final act and most of this film uses practical effects and extremely minimal CGI, and it looks so much better than other action films or action within films that use CGI!
This film is also the perfect example of showing heroic/strong female characters really well. Imperator Furiosa is definitely my favourite female character from any action film and maybe my favourite female character from ANY film or very close to my favourite. There are other female characters that vary from a rather young age to a rather old age actually and they are all portrayed to be capable and awesome. Max himself obviously is a main character but to be honest, the title of this film doesn't really fit. Whilst Max is in it, it's really Furiosa's film and story but nevertheless, Max still does have a lot to do with the plot and is still a major character. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron nail their roles and put some really good performances to the screen. It is also worth mentioning that the score is absolutely fantastic and really fitting for the theme of this film.
To reference Chris Stuckmann in his review of this film: "This is the best 80s action film that was not released in the 80s" I highly recommend this film to not just action fans, but film fans in general. It is currently my favourite film of the decade and my favourite action film of all time.
