Now That's Some Action!

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2015)

The fourth film of George Miller's Mad Max franchise, 'Mad Max: Fury Road' takes the action genre to an all new level! This is a summer blockbuster that's been made with passion & true effort!
'Mad Max: Fury Road' Synopsis: In a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, two rebels just might be able to restore order: Max, a man of action and of few words, and Furiosa, a woman of action who is looking to make it back to her childhood homeland.
Despite its stunning spectacle & astounding stunts, 'Mad Max: Fury Road' rests on a very thin plot. Its not an innovative story & even the sequences, minus action, though barely any, aren't engaging. In terms of Screenplay, which has been Written by Miller, Brendan McCarthy & Nico Lathouris, isn't foolproof. It completely relies on action to deliver & luckily that department, is super-strong!
Miller deserves an ovation for his sheer imagination & for the execution of the film. He has envisioned an all new Mad Max Legend ingeniously. Visually, 'Mad Max: Fury Road' is simply spectacular. I was engrossed & mesmerized by the action-sequences, which undoubtedly, are incredible. The fight between the Good & the Bad, is superbly done. I have never seen a film as action-packed as 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.
John Seale's Cinematography deserves a special mention. Each & Every Frame has been captured with utter brilliance. Margaret Sixel's Editing is sharp, although the first-hour, is slightly slow. Junkie XL's Score adds more madness to the narrative.
Though I thought I would never accept anyone but Mel Gibson as Mad Max, Tom Hardy dons the part, most engagingly. Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, is in true bad-ass mode. She kicks ass & how! Nicholas Hoult as Nux, is outstanding. His best work to date. Hugh Keays-Byrne as Immortan Joe, is terrifying & mean as hell! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as The Splendid Angharad & Zoë Kravitz as Toast the Knowing, leave a mark.
On the whole, despite its thin plot, 'Mad Max: Fury Road' offers visual dazzle, like you've never seen before. Definitely, worth your time & money!
