Great Action!

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2015)

I enjoyed Mad Max: Fury Road and that fact comes as a big surprise to me. I was expecting a brain damaged WWE version of this remake. Judging by the trailer, I wasn't expecting much. What we get instead is a super romp of an action film that goes out of its way to keep the pedal to the medal at all times from start to finish. I can't say I'd want every movie at the cinema to be all action orientated like this one but it's refreshing to see a few at times and to see one get action right. No CGI floating crap but solid real world stunts. The stunts are very believable and it a well executed film. The action is intense even if it is over the top and cartoonish. I've become so sick and tired of wire-work fight scenes that when a movie like this chooses to use raw, real action instead of wires, I applaud. My only real criticism of this one was the fact that is too long of a running time. All action wears thin after the hour and a half mark.
