Best Action Movie of the Decade

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2016)

Mad Max: Fury Road is the continuation of the Mad Max franchise that started in 1979. It is directed by George Miller (the director of the original Mad Max films) and stars Tom Hardy as Mad Max and Charlize Theron as Furiosa. Now this movie is one of a kind. First off, this movie is ACTION-PACKED and it never lets up. The other Mad Max movies have been known for their action sequences and their craziness but never before has it been so fleshed out. Fury Road has the best action sequences ever put to film. The thing that makes this action so awesome is the fact that George Miller made sure that most of these sequences were practical effects. That means all the stunts and all the explosions that you see are real and that is just awesome. Another that I mentioned how crazy the Mad Max franchise is. All the Mad Max movies (except the first one) are taken place in the apocalypse, where oil and gasoline are precious resources. As you can imagine, people will start going crazy and in Fury Road, it gets really insane. You see some of the weirdest, most over-the-top characters that are just insane. Some people might find it too insane so when you see this movie, you need to know what you're getting into. I also have to give props to the direction of this movie. George Miller took his old franchise, reignited it, and introduced it to a new generation. The performances are also great. Charlize Theron as Furiosa is probably one of the greatest female heroines in film. She embodies her character and she is arguably the main character of this movie. Tom Hardy as Max is also really great in his role. Lastly, I think this movie will stand the test of time because of how re-watchable it is. I've watched 4 times not and it never gets old. If there's anything bad to say about this movie, it would be what other people have said. The movie doesn't have a lot of plot or character development and that has detracted from other people's feelings about this movie. Me personally, I don't think it needs it and that the movie is already Amazon without it. Overall, this is not only the best Mad Max film. Not only is this the best action movie of the decade. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
