This is crazy in so many ways

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2015)

Insane action packed, two hour road rage movie, that more or less sums up this crazy film, George Miller still got it, coming back after 30 years and making this in just the right spirit and with all it entails is amazing.
This film is an instant classic, even though a film where they drive around for two hours sounds like something that gets boring, it just introduces new strange characters, one more crazy then the next all the time and keeps the action and tempo at a very high gear. I was entertained from the beginning all the way to the end and there was enough to see and think about on the way, caught myself sitting with open mouth and a big grin on my face many times.
The acting is not deep, but there are many characters, one more crazy and strange until the next one shows up, how did they find all these crazy people and drag them out into the deserted lands miles from civilization. Well actually there isn't much acting for most parts or not in matter of lines, the only one that really pulls through on this is Charlize Theron, she delivers a good performance, is a tough girl and still keeps the glimpse in her eye. Tom Hardy on the other hand more or less grunts through the first half and gets a few more lines through the rest, but he does deliver a good performance as the main male character, crazy, mad or driven to insanity of sorts, Max is his name :) The young Nux played by Nicholas Hoult also does a great job, we see the world through different perspectives through his eyes, first as the mechanic that wants to be accepted into Valhalla and later he finds that there is other ways.
Hugh Keays-Byrne plays Immortan Joe, don't know if he is the only one, but he was also in the first Mad Max movie from 1979, I think it was missing a Camio from Mel Gibson or Tina Turner, that would have been a fun surprise.
All in all bang for the buck, really nicely topped of with visuals and music that just fits perfect into this desolate wasteland and crazy character scenario, two thumbs up from me and a big happy smile.
